A new era of PC. 25.0528, 121.5990

@Jan60152074 No, that's fair and it wasn't the intention. I platinum'd the game back in 2020, so I skipped the initial discourse and had no idea the combat was so loathed. I still think it's fun for me, but I guess a lot of people disagree.




13 minute video to explain to complete illiterates that the scythe wasn't real and was merely conjured in order to make a point about our similarities to zenos. He's not coming back. you are all neanderthals.



a staff engineer at my old company got laid off during “cost cutting.” his entire farewell meeting was 12 minutes long. week later: payment service started randomly failing. turns out he was manually fixing edge-case data corruption every night for 3 years. nobody even knew. the most dangerous systems are the ones surviving because of one invisible engineer.


Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350 "you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop" "but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand" "you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine" "I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"

Medallion's humming... that can only mean one thing! It's time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past! ⚔️ This brand new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will take you to the Path with Geralt of Rivia once more. It’s being co-developed with @Fools_Theory and is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2027. Stay tuned for more information in late summer. ⏰


beyond "nobody reads anymore," this is because many modern filmmakers work off of a base of the filmmakers they were inspired by, whereas those people were building off of art, sociology, history, and yes, literature. Obviously isn't true across the board, but you know

one example of performative behavior i've noticed for years is where when a piece of japanese media has a very widely used localized name in english some fans of it will insist on using the japanese name anyway for some reason. very "place, japan" vibes

Be honest, Why is every software engineer’s backup plan always farming?
