@StephNass @paulg I think you might. It doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Spoiler: A VC will not switch from mobile to desktop just to read your deck.

@GamewithDave Deus Ex. (And Baldurs gate 2) This doesn’t need explanation.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@JNavok I can’t hate the guy behind old man Murray.

Also hired thousands of people and paid them well unlike Valve who makes billions and hired no one. Epic still employs thousands while Valve employs less than 1/10th for higher revenue. Chet Faliszek would have you believe Valve is better for hiring no one but that’s because Chet thinks Gabe having a mini navy is what makes Gabe a good business man. Chet is the ultimate capitalist bootlicker. Hail Gaben!

@IGN Goblins? Bit ChatGPT coded.

Marathon is a ruthless and unforgiving extraction shooter that’s worth every ounce of hell it puts you through. Our review: bit.ly/4lYeHlV

@GeorgeSokol Yes. It showcases your laid back breezy approach to stress :D

Getting laid off from Epic was my 4th layoff in my career, so I consider myself something of an expert. Is my seasoned experience in this area something worth putting on my Resume?

@Aella_Girl Oh come on, you can see the concern with this.

May those fully against MAID never have to endure their minds changed by a loved one's suffering

@TU84LC41N @gghamari @KITKAT I think the problem here is that it isn’t big.

@gghamari @KITKAT I mean if you’re gonna go criminal, why not go big, right?

Regarding recent press coverage

@ChenGonSol @amritwt It works fine. One of the wonders of the world. It’s nice to be able to take a car to 200kmph safely. I don’t actually understand why people living elsewhere buy fast cars.

@Zr05cd @amritwt Autobahn wouldnt work without speed limits. Thiel is a dickhead.

Peter Thiel is driving with his friends far more aggressively than necessary like a racetrack. His driving eventually attracts the attention of the California Highway Patrol, and he is pulled over. When the officer asks if he knows how fast he was going, the others in the car feel a mix of relief and anxiety, glad the reckless driving has stopped but nervous about the consequences. Thiel, however, remains completely calm and composed. Instead of answering directly, he questions the very idea of speed limits, suggesting they might not make sense as a concept. He goes further, framing speed limits as a potential violation of personal freedom and even hinting that they could be unconstitutional. The officer is left silent.

@J20365735 @amritwt Man it’s my daily commute. I know the motorway.

@Zr05cd @amritwt Have to burst your bubble but there are speed limits on the Vast majority of kilometers on the Autobahnen

@yo_ean @Bdueiufhdow @amritwt Fair. I stand corrected.

@Zr05cd @Bdueiufhdow @amritwt "Peter Thiel left Germany in 1968 when he was one year old."

@henrykinross @amritwt Yea it’s an issue. Though I think on balance I prefer motorways let people do whatever speed their car can handle.

@Zr05cd @amritwt You can't overtake on the autobahn without a Porsche appearing from nowhere and flashing you. Many are only two lanes and I feel my freedom to drive normally is impinged.

@Bdueiufhdow @amritwt Ah. I live in Germany and thought he was a German.

@Zr05cd @amritwt He’s not used to the autobahn you fucking idiot

@charismavvl99 @ImmortalAnanke @InsiderGamingIG His account location is India.

@ImmortalAnanke @InsiderGamingIG Life insurance policies always have a conversion or portability option. You're a mind completely lost to groupthink if you think the US is truly dystopian to the point of losing life insurance after being laid off. You must be so afraid in this life.

@viemccoy “You need to be able to send it”

The top requirement for joining my team at OpenAI is having a certain "je ne sais quois". If you don't have this, I'm not really sure it's worth taking the time to apply.

@ctjlewis I’m curing cancer over here no time to look.

The browser is DEAD How one guy just vibe coded the future of the platform?????? Holy fuck we’re all fuckin retarded????

@mfproudman @DanielBordmanOG Yea its kind of incredible.

@DanielBordmanOG When this is all the NY Times has, there's nothing there.

This is probably the most remarkable achievement ever from an FBI director. A middle aged Indian man, who likes to drink and have a bit of fun with NHL player and UFC, had his entire communications leaked and not only came out clean but what did leak actually makes him look naturally cool. The odds of this ever happening again are 0.0000000000001%

@jfleming2870 @ProfRobAnderson It’s that she declared it was a fraudulent like rather than a fat finger.

@ProfRobAnderson So to clarify: your position is that a judge *seeing* anti-Elon content on their social media feed is sufficient evidence of bias to disqualify them?

This is the funniest LinkedIn thing the Delaware judiciary has done since VC Laster deleted his account after picking a fight with Jon Macey. McCormick should obviously recuse, but for slightly different reasons than everyone is saying. I actually believe she probably didn’t intend to “like” the post. Yes, it’s possible she’s so technologically oblivious she doesn’t understand that people can see her likes. That seemed to be the case with Laster when he liked bad stuff before. More likely she probably fat-fingered the button while enjoying scrolling some anti-Musk content. But that’s exactly the problem. Her pathetic excuse that LinkedIn attached a fraudulent “like” is absurd, similar to when celebrities post something bad and say their account was hacked. The broader issue is that we’ve now seen multiple instances of Delaware judicial officers goofing around on LinkedIn and showing an appearance of bias. Laster had to have an intervention last time. It’s time for McCormick to finally face some consequences. The two of them are a liability to Delaware.

@Basilithe @grok @TheTopGEight Maybe Americans are too expensive an hour for the industry?

@Zr05cd @grok @TheTopGEight These CEOs don't know video games. They just think everything is going to be the next Fortnite and are ok with failing because they're playing with house money (sometimes government money) and are going to get paid anyway. It's the dev teams that suffer when layoffs come.

It's official. Marathon sold 1.2 million copies. That's 5 million short of breaking even. They have lost 150 million dollars at least on this game. It will be canceled soon and Bungie will be shutdown. Massive failure. RIP Marathon. You sucked anyways and only dorks like it.

@grok @TheTopGEight For an extraction shooter?! I just don’t get it. I honestly don’t get it.

Marathon's estimated development cost is around $250M (no official figure released). It took 5-6 years with a core team of 300+ devs at Bungie, plus high Seattle-area salaries (~$150-200K fully loaded per person/year), advanced multiplayer tech for an extraction shooter, multiple betas/ARGs, QA, licensing, and marketing. AAA live-service games like this rack up fast.
