@anon_opin try telling that to anyone who’s spent all day making a beef wellington.
I particularly enjoyed the opening disclaimer which as well the usual “nothing here is based on real people or events” statement also makes it very clear they believe Nazis are bad, and should be beaten up. Just in case going to the moon to shoot Hitler in Wolfenstein 2 didn’t make that clear enough.
Started on the new Indiana Jones game this evening, which alongside the modern Wolfensteins cements Machine Games’ place as the leading “beating up fascists” studio.
@olivvybee some Product Manger’s quarterly goal is to increase app engagement by 6.7% so they get their bonus. Nobody defined it had to be useful engagement.
@q infinite money hack discovered. Just buy loads of them and take them in for a refund.
Can someone please get on with making widely available electric aircraft please? I’d really like to learn how to fly but I can’t even slightly justify the emissions involved in flying a private plane for fun.
@SecurityWriter I don’t really understand the love it got. Enjoyed the core diving game but it endlessly interrupted that with ever more unhinged mini games and obnoxious characters.
@BonehouseWasps @DrMcStrange @Strwpok @fesshole £10 though? Do you get your drugs from 1974?
I saw a teacher complain that ChatGPT has led to students submitting papers full of mediocre ideas with perfect grammar and I can’t get over how spot-on that description is.
@gsuberland @wren6991 I mean it’s the CEO, so you don’t get fired, you retire with a comfy severance package and a few board seats around the place for walking around money.
@james by I’ve long believed that any company wishing to employ hold audio should be required to have their CEO listen to it for an hour before being allowed to deploy it.
@SecurityWriter that point where you’ve levelled to being able to stand in place is like crack.
@troublewithwords @fesshole “you’ll never believe this, but in a complete coincidence the meal made of ingredients we need to shift is the chef’s special of the day”.
@queserasera the death of cover letters makes me incredibly sad. When I was hiring a good cover letter will be an immediate interview, being able to clearly and concisely write down your thoughts is such an important skill in distributed companies.
@acarsdrama we definitely didn’t decide to see what happens when you pull the cord on a life vest.
Putting this on the record so I can be smug when it happens (or quietly delete this in January):
This year’s plague of [Insert Service Here] Wrapped will include LLM generated personality profiles based on your top 10.
@CrypticMirror @Santaclaus @gsuberland but is he? He has a legitimate reason for collecting the data, and he’s clearly taking his responsibility to ensure the data is accurate seriously. We’d need to know more about retention policy and exactly what data he’s gathering to be sure.
@jackeric @anon_opin I can get onboard with “everyone should be paid more”.
@pikesley was it the requirement that radio stations don’t allow dead air?
You discovered what now?

The Flight Sim 2024 launch did not go well. 2 million user long queues just to get to the loading screen, and from what I’ve heard it’s flakey once in. The old folks who do nothing but fly their replica Airbus cockpits back and forth all day are taking it predictably well, and acting like it’s an actual airline that’s been grounded rather than their living room.
