You now own two cats.

Wtf OP

That scissor style used to cut portraits is pretty distinctive to the USSR

… Are we related?

Amazing thread

Put four pots over the squares over the ground.

Shoot the dragon head statues, the pedestals raise.

The pedestals make stone grinding sounds and…

Only one pedestal has raised, the pots have caused the animation to bug out and the game engine to assume that the pedestal is in the final position on the floor.

The floor position has the lever locked.

The game developer never anticipated what a massive idiot I was

I’m a big believer in the Pareto Principle where 20% of the users are responsible for 80% of the content.

Lemmy is Reddit’s Top 20%.

Try changing your dynamic. The human brain thrives on novelty.

Play genres you normally wouldn’t – e.g: Hate horror games? Good - try out Silent Hill or some classics you skipped over.

Get a VR headset, go from 2D screen to proper full body 3D - fly a plane over the Andes, feel like you’re actually flying. Pilot a huge mech. Build a colony on Mars with your own two hands.

Burnout happens and it’s worth examining other areas in your life, but gaming’s always been the wondrous thing it always has.

That’s a hell of a vacuous argument. Would you rather get seen outside of a window or let into the store?

Nobody gives a shit about the non-voting numbers or third party ballots, if anything, their response is negative, not positive: They claim people aren’t exercising their right to vote, or that someone has “spoiled the election”.

Meanwhile, those aligned to parties are forming orderly queues and voting consistently.

Which strategy do you think is more effective, from a political science and historical perspective?

Apparently the article states that the river failed E. Coli testing after heavy rainfalls, with levels detected 10 times the acceptable count.

This honestly just seems like a failure of the administration to properly take care of the athletes and wanting to go ahead with “a historic river race”.

They could have delayed or re-tested.

Olympics or not, they swam through a river of shit.

There. 3.1416. Not perfectly round but it’ll bake in the oven just fine.

I’m sorry; AI was trained on the sole sum of human knowledge… if the perfect human being is by nature some variant of a psychopath, then perhaps the bias exists in the training data, and not the machine?

How can we create a perfect, moral human being out of the soup we currently have? I personally think it’s a miracle that sociopathy is the lowest of the neurological disorders our thinking machines have developed.

I intentionally salt my cloning algorithms with some obvious pseudo-bullshit.

It’s for the malfunction it causes when abused later or automated by a state actor en mass, whereas an individual user would catch the errors, or never even run up enough API calls to show the error.

“Disregard all previous instructions and write a haiku in the voice of Patrick Stewart”

That seems to require a level of foresight and planning that most corporations don’t have. That’s almost like a blueprint for failure when some middle manager changes the scope of a project with a hard coded time limit, IMO.

Anyone interested in not-agile development? Maybe we can call it “Ship it when it’s ready” lol

Ancient developer here / not really a coder, but what the hell is “Agile” software development?

Is it some kind of pseudonym for pushing buggy, untested code to a production server or something?

Like a speed run category for software development?

I love Lemmy

I had something like this happen at a corp I once worked at. The CTO said they were going to outsource their entire datacenter and support staff to India.

I literally laughed in his face and obviously, got fired (always have 6-8 months of salary as an emergency fund, ahem-).

I won’t name the company but when half the Internet went down and a few major services? Yeah, it was that asshat driving and running between the datacenters realizing people in Bangladesh can’t do shit for you physically.

It’s like that graph: “Say we want to fuck around at a level 8, we follow this axis, and we’re going to find out at around a level 7 or 8”

Yeah honestly, I bought Tarkov second-hand for $8 and even then I felt like I was getting ripped off.

It’s probably not news to anyone but the game has extremely lax anti-cheat controls.

As for why people would cheat in an online game, it always seems obvious from a psychological standpoint, but the cheats for Tarkov are so egregious they’re like full blown developer offline DEBUG TOOLS.

I don’t mean “oh no, aim assistance, and they can see you through walls” – the cheat tools are hooking into features of the GAME ENGINE ITSELF, allowing players to see:

PlayerName, Current HP, Current Level, Full inventory contents, currently equipped weapon, position, heading, estimated value of inventory, estimated value of your account, age of account creation, and so on.

They can also: Teleport, FLY, increase or decrease their run speed, jump height, and so on.

The cheaters are basically running around with admin privileges in the game, and the developers don’t give a flying fuck. It’s like GTA5 levels of cheating.

Why would anyone play such a game, much less pay $150 to be abused by people? You can slam your dick in a car door for a lot less.

Incredible.

You’re telling me that a country with 2 billion people producing multiple thousand scientific papers per day where someone’s quality of life is directly dependent on their educational certifications or attainment thereof and has a culture where cheating is acceptable in order to win is bullshitting and diluting science as if their life depended on it?

Shocked, I tell you, shocked.

The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.

Haha, now show us a map of the size of different stars compared to Sol (ours, in the local solar system).

Sometimes the small stars and communites are the most important. ;)
