You’d think things would be simple, otherwise the existence of UTF-8.
And yet for the last 17 years, every company I’ve been in has had some sort of horrible mess involving unicode and non-unicode and nobody either recognising the problem, or knowing how to solve it when they did recognise it (“well, the £ turns into a ? so we just replace any ? in the filename by a £”).
How the fuck does that graph even works?! Shows the very left of the graph, then says you’re in the top? Doesn’t make any sense. Edit : clearly I belong in the top 85% too. I guess I confused % and percentile!
I wonder what he’ll say when he realises what the French motto means. What a muppet.
That’s a good tester.
In my experience coders usually make absolutely terrible testers, testing only for the most inane case, or just positive cases (ie, it does the nominal case without bursting into fire).
I kinda assumed it was more of a Prince of New York scenario, really.
But on the other hand, a huge company like Ubisoft not promoting their product is usually seen as a lack of faith in their product. So it’s a vicious circle of promotion.
Also you could argue that these days, with the oversaturation of good games, you absolutely need to remind your Tik Tok generation players that you exist. Constantly.
Both are shitty reasons, but I think they are real factors nonetheless.
I keep telling my wife the auto functions in my A3 are like having a horse. Including the odd “oh I’m gonna brake for no reason because I got spooked, now”.
I fucking love it!
That’s an interesting and reasonable take.
I’m actually surprised you are not down voted to oblivion!
Maybe don’t call it “the CDC” and simply call it what it is : the RFKJr.
Imagine the overload on the systems as everyone rushes to do just that…
A lot of US companies have been happy to relocate to Ireland and enjoy the tax breaks. No reason not to continue, I’d say.
Shaving them seems too mild, for people in power who will do it again at the first occasion.
Remember the outrage when stuff like that happens in China?
Ever since living there a few years back, I keep saying how your two countries are so fucking similar, and it getting truer every day.
Video games have given me the false hope that we can just send an elite team of ghost assassins to erase the target from existence, but apparently that’s way too costly :( All that training on Ghost Recon wasted…
Oh, the IDF style of surgical precision bombing. How apt.
I’m right there with you on that one. For years I’ve dreamt about a post-apo game where you rebuild and look forward to the future, instead of wallowing in misery and barely getting by.
I think a 4X game, or better, something like a Heroes of Might & Magic might be the right scale to do it, but so far nobody seems to have seen the niche waiting to be filled.
I dream of filling it myself but I simply don’t have the energy for a project that scale. I’m no ConcernedApe or Tarn Adams, ha !
Hah! In France we voted for a banker so we wouldn’t have Marine Lepen in power. Some choice that was!
I read some really racist xit yesterday on here, under the pretense of “my historical accuracy is so offended!”
It was almost hilarious, like a really average greentext on 4chan.
So I guess that’s nice to see such rabid reaction. And just for that I appreciate the game being there and not bending over.
In my experience things are fine while you work in a single environment, or you have control over the entire pipeline of data. Things quickly turn into a story from the Bible when different systems start trying to communicate.
