The new favorite language of AAA game studios: Phyton Python

If you happen to have any background with coding, I recommend OpenSCAD. There are a (relatively) limited set of instructions, easy to pick up if you do any other coding.

They’re more different than people might expect. I like both, but they’re very different experiences.

Looks like the goal has been met!

It’s not ideal, but compare that to the toxic nature of most bigger studios… might be the lesser of two evils. And I strongly suspect that the donor insertion isn’t going to compromise the vision or quality of the game.

It’s definitely a bit weird, but probably better than the shenanigans of AAA studios.

Don’t forget removing competitors! Gotta remove those competitors. That’s what healthy businesses do. /s

My description of the perfect controller:

• nice size and hand fit
• left joystick is “up” at a natural spot (sorry PS enthusiasts, those low sticks suck)
• buttons are “chicklet” style (Xbox round buttons feel awkward)
• one set of trigger buttons are “throttle” style
• sits on a flat surface without any buttons being pressed

Not sure if there’s one out there that meets all of those. But I have a certain fondness for the GameCube controller. Always felt comfortable, and I actually liked the asymmetric button layout.

If the high-ups at Arrowhead knew and made that decision anyway, it’s squarely on them, full stop.

Dual boot is definitely more tricky to get going. I just set up a Windows partition again to play a game that uses Easy Anti Cheat, and it took some time to have everything working happily.

I’ve used both Linux Mint and Manjaro, and my Nvidia card has done fine in both. I switched to Mint from Windows because it was easier and faster to set up under Mint (Windows was missing a bunch of drivers and the OEM’s site didn’t have updated ones). The only configuration I had to do was select the proprietary driver (and Mint has a nice little GUI for that). If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend trying Mint.

I agree with John Travolta.

SEYMOUR!

I’ve been in so many wholesome communities, I initially thought the first panel was a thinly veiled pickup line.

I’ve been at the front of the classroom–using tools like TurnItIn is fine for getting “red flags,” but I’d never rely on just tools to give someone a zero.

First, unless you’re in a class with a hundred people, the professor would have a general idea as to whether you’re putting in effort–are they attentive? Do they ask questions? And an informal talk with the person would likely determine how well they understand the content in the paper. Even for people who can’t articulate well, there are questions you can ask that will give you a good feel for whether they wrote it.

I’ve caught cheaters several times, it’s not that hard. Will a few slide through? Yes, but they will regardless of how many stupid AI tools you use. Give the students the benefit of the doubt and put in some effort, lazy profs.

Brilliant, no notes

Is that… your zeta factor?

The issue with the self-selecting layoffs is that it’s usually the best talent that leaves. Not that they care, as it won’t negatively impact this quarter’s numbers. But funny/sad to see them all confused a year later when number go down.

Let’s not be gatekeep-y here. All four of these things can be used to 95% effectiveness (compared with their fresh counterparts) in most recipes.

There’s only one ingredient that should be on this list, and it’s missing. Velveeta.

For what it’s worth, Mint has a Debian-based version that I’ve heard great things about. It would probably have lots of the legwork done for you (getting flatpak, etc).
