When it first came out, for some reason, I thought all games would start following Valve’s lead and introduce commentary.
And now two decades later, I don’t know if any other games have.
Then again, we have other ways like game devs talking on podcasts/live stream.
I thought it was just me! I played every HL game as a teen. Now 20 years later, my old eyes seem to struggle a bit.
And yeah, changing FoV is what solved it for me.
It’s built off of OSM. Which is how it should be.
On Reddit, there was a post that outlined why this rando voted for Trump that had thousands of upvotes.
The major complaint was the constant noise about things like BLM, DEI, LGBTQ, defund the police and hating private prisons.
I can understand if this racist hates the first half. And I can understand if they also love sucking off cops.
But why the fuck would anybody support a private prison? Literally a company that makes money off of people being punished?
I didn’t even notice the rape joke.
I read it as getting knifed.
You literally cannot search for Mastodon without getting a weird ass 2-paragraph manifesto about The Fediverse.
End users just want to use shit.
This is unfortunately the world of open-source.

Like dude, round up!
It’s a shitpost youre not allowed to bring logic into this
Please don’t pee on your partner without consent.
And this is why we do The Scotty Principle
That’s the “One minute manager” bullshit. It’s literally just popping in randomly to course correct.
It’s distracting as fuck as a engineer.
Totally agree. Drives me insane with drive-by status updates.
It’s this.

Absolutely! But it also depends on the size of the company. Small companies can absolutely benefit from PMs. I used to take freelance clients as a engineer, and never accepted a job without a PM who was willing to block out the noise.
In big companies though, I have a lot of disdain for PMs.
Many literally spend their hours being the middleman between actual stakeholders. I recently had a project where the PM was just forwarding emails from one department lead to another. They didn’t understand the product or cared to follow any processes. Then distracting my team for status updates so they can build reports in Excel, so they can feed it up the chain if something was done or not.
Fortunately, our retros are heavily engineer-centric and we can give harsh feedback/fire our PMs, which we have done successfully over the past few years.
I discovered nothing except self reflection
I want to comment that you nailed so many valid points.
I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this, and I know what I’m about to say sounds racist as hell. But Obama was a fluke and America in general is just not willing to elect a minority again.
This one, I don’t think I agree that it was a fluke.
Democrats are continuing to let the loudest crybabies take over the room. And then compromise. Conservatives are right on one thing: the message that Kamala put out to their people was, “You don’t want to vote for a fascist.” Which doesn’t resonate with them. What they instead saw was a person who was going to keep things the same.
Can a minority run again? Absolutely.
But only stop catering to the status quo and bowing down to companies. Do Bernie Sanders shit.
Sony has a history of being terrible with security.
They literally built malware two decades ago.
Ubisoft did that too for a while, forcing Ubisoft logins. And they’re continuing to lose staff and shut down games.
After reading your comment, I spent 10 minutes trying to find the right phrases to get the average salary of a sex worker in Amsterdam in comparison to a Wendy’s Worker in America.
What am I doing with my life?
My wife’s grandfather. That lady is like first gen feminism.
Well ol Grandpappy sent much of his life savings to sponsor a Asian wife, getting her a house and a new car. Then he was ready to leave my grandmother to start a new life. But Grandma found bank statements and they divorced and got mucho of the split.
He tried to live with his sponsored Asian wife, who ended up being a story like OPs.
Grandpa fucked around and found out he is now homeless.
