Just once I want to see a subversion of the trope where someone goes to another country/planet, and instead of the noble savage trope, they go home going “Oh yeah I’m never going back there, it sucks. I caught a rash where my entire arm turned a pinkish brown. Absolutely terrifying place”.

That, or they go to the other country, and are like “These savages are primitive, but they have PRIDE! They are a noble people!” and the natives aren’t even that different, they just have cassette tapes or use Betamax or HD-DVD. They’re sitting there watching Terminator or something and this guy is just freaking out. Oh! Oh the poor souls! Don’t they know that Blu Ray is the superior format?!

I never said when that time was, or how long that time was. Not my fault you spent the exactly 3 seconds of time you were always right having a wank instead of being productive with it.

Wish granted. For a time, you were always right. You aren’t anymore.

…I guess that explains why my healer asked if she could mix Oil of Slipperiness with Greater Healing Potion to create Lube of Greater Healing.

Apparently Playnite has a ITAD plugin you can use, but it’s limited to your wishlist, and doesn’t have an all-in-one browser, and it doesn’t look like it’s very well maintained.

Monopolies tend to be bad. The more my game library is on steam, the more fucked I am if my country decides to ban Steam for some reason or another, or the US decides to fuck everyone else over.

I wish GOG Galaxy and Playnite were good launchers. I don’t like Epic and I don’t like the stranglehold Steam has on the market. Basically I want a launcher where I can see all of my games, but I also want to be able to open as many stores as I want, and then be able to compare prices and then buy from each of those stores within the same launcher.

Just one more datacentre bro, just one more! One more and we get GenAI. 10,000 more layoffs and another datacentre! C’mon you know I’m good for it!

That look of shock better be because you forgot to prep!

So why do we need Jensen Huang?

I think that’s a tad excessive. Sure, Windows sucks, but it’s not my machine so I don’t give a shit. Now, if they expected me to bring my own machine and also insist that it’s Windows, I’ll get pissed off and refuse the offer. Their machine though? They can demand whatever they want, so long as I can actually do my job.

9/10 times it’s not Windows I’m fighting against when I’m unable to do my job, it’s the IT department not giving me admin rights over the right folders so I can’t even install Docker without spending 3 days with them to get the right permissions.

Presumably even if Linux must provide a means of reporting an age, you can always modify that distro to always report the oldest age?

What, is Google upset about having some competition?

Isn’t FFXIV an MMO? I don’t remember it being very Game of Thrones-y.

I’m of the opinion that it really depends on the nature of the game.

For example, the children are super hyped for GTA VI, because even though GTA V came out before some of them had object permanence, they’ve been playing it for years. It’s remained in their consciousness this entire time.

Compare that to Skyrim, which came out only a year or so before GTA V, and we haven’t seen an Elder Scrolls game since… The young don’t give a toss. They weren’t playing it then, they aren’t playing it now, so there’s absolutely no attachment to Elder Scrolls as a series.

Games used to stay in the consumer’s consciousness before by having sequels made every few years, sometimes even every year! Now? It’s all live services, so it doesn’t feel like the game hasn’t had a new iteration for over a decade.

In other words: Kids aren’t attached to franchises anymore because the game industry is stagnating.

I thought EasyAntiCheat didn’t like Linux?

The only thing stopping me from moving to Linux is the fact I want to play Battlefield 6 and Space Marine 2.

Only if you’re going by the strict UML definition of composition, which doesn’t really apply here, since the industry has moved on a bit since UML was king.

Either way, you can use DI to do composition in the strictest UML way, provided every single dependency is transient and creates a new instance every single time. Even then though, when most devs talk about composition, they aren’t referring to the strict UML definition.

If you’ve used Dependency Injection before, you’ve used the principle of composition over inheritance. So, if you’ve ever used .Net (C#), Spring Boot (Java) or Laravel (PHP), you’ve likely used it. Modern C++ also has the DI pattern.

Rust and Go force you to use composition and don’t support inheritance at all, so if you’ve used either of those languages, you’ve followed the practice, though Go doesn’t support DI out of the box. Functional languages like Haskell also use composition over inheritance.
