It’s a glorious shit post. Half the comments will be support, half will be criticism, and the rest will be your sentiment. There is no way to tell who is being ironic on any side.

Whatever. I’ll do what any good PC gamer does and buy if it goes on sale for a 90% discount in a decade. Or I just won’t buy it because I’ll be too busy repairing my shanty/house boat. We’ll see how things shake out

Yeah but A&W tried numbers. A purely vibes based experiment with burger width vs height may prove differently.

That Minecraft one is kind of legit, I have to say. Though I have mixed feelings on the whole concept of a “cool” coffin. I guess it’s not hurting anyone, either way

I don’t know about the image as a whole but the text on the coffin specifically looks suspicious.

That’s right! The skull goes in the square hole

Funny enough, I think I see what you’re getting at, and I think it’s because the preview cuts off the front and back of the thing. Gives your mind the freedom to imagine that this rolling attempt at cubism ends like a car and not like a cliff.

lol oops god bless uwu

Obviously it’s Shroodle!

Flatlanders are known for their ability to generate triangles using nothing but angles. This specimen is currently flexing on the haters.

Pretty hesitant about this one. Mario at least had a precedent of entertaining if not high quality adaptations. Zelda has, what, the cartoon with obnoxious Link and the CDI games?

Not saying those aren’t entertaining in their own right but good golly would I not like to see a modern interpretation of those particular interpretations.

Mixed results…?

I get what you’re going for but I have a hard time imagining this as a good thing so long as companies are profit driven.

I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there’s a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it’s supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there’s no real consistency since it’s built across prompts.

I’m confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you’re offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

Pleased

Fundamentally I agree that work shouldn’t need to be a priority in this situation if the individual doesn’t want it to be, but this is like basically the optimal scenario. I wish more companies respected their employees’ time and strictly valued results over the appearance of business.

To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they’re saying “Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they’re the best they will ever be”

No my eyesight is fine, what are you on about?

Not sure if it counts as a first day, but a third interview had me gone. I was quite late and they told me I was out of the running. Reasonable enough, but the company was in the middle of a move, so this interview was in a different location across town from the first two, and the only indication of where it was taking place was a tiny sign stuck in the ground. I must have circled the parking lot 10 times.

It was for the best because I later learned the work conditions there were rotten.
