I heard the original ending they filmed had Peter’s new boss at the construction site telling him to come in on Saturday. You can see him walking up in the closing shots.

I hope you get your happy ending.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!

Keyboard support is definitely a must for our other games. I’m becoming more aware of the importance of accessibility.

If we were to compare it to our day jobs, the opportunity cost for the team and me would probably be around ten grand.

If we compare the time spent to the money earned, then we’re each worth several cents an hour.

It’s a good thing I didn’t get into game dev for the money, it seems I’m quite bad at it

I’m afraid not, this came out well before the deck and I can’t afford one to test on.

I’m not sure that it’s a good target for the deck anyway where it’s a splitscreen game.

I read an article in Uplifting News the other day - it was about an elderly woman who fell and broke her leg while hiking, and a whole band of people helped carry her down the mountain and to the hospital.

There’s an awful lot of bad news out there, and it often feels like humanity is failing each other. But at least in this story, absolute strangers came together to help someone who couldn’t help themselves. I cried happy tears.

@KeefChief13@lemmy.world @Amanduh@lemm.ee @indomara@lemmy.world Thank you all so much for your interest! :)

The game is called Shoot Your Friends. It’s a death match couch game for 2-4 players who share a screen and pilot tanks around an arena.

Please be aware that it is somewhat niche, it’s only compatible with controllers and local multiplayer. But if you ever get the gang over for game night it can be a fun way to spend the evening.

Haha, I’ve considered it. I’d really like to at least be able to buy pizza for the gang who helped make the game.

I released a game like three years ago and it’s earned $97 in that time.

I feel your pain

I just bite into it like an apple.

People are often disgusted, which just makes it taste all the sweeter.

This bird is getting ready to kick him in the dick.

They’ve been given a lemon and they’re choosing violence.

A lot of the criticism comes with AI results being wrong a lot of the time, while sounding convincingly correct. In software, things that appear to be correct but are subtly wrong leads to errors that can be difficult to decipher.

Imagine that your AI was trained on StackOverflow results. It learns from the questions as well as the answers, but the questions will often include snippets of code that just don’t work.

The workflow of using AI resembles something like the relationship between a junior and senior developer. The junior/AI generates code from a spec/prompt, and then the senior/prompter inspects the code for errors. If we remove the junior from the equation to replace with AI, then entry level developer jobs are slashed, and at the same time people aren’t getting the experience required to get to the senior level.

Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

Another argument would be that if I generate code that I have to take time to review and figure out what might be wrong with it, it might just be quicker and easier to write it correctly the first time

Business often doesn’t understand these subtleties. There’s a ton of money being shovelled into AI right now. Not only for developing new models, but for marketing AI as a solution to business problems. A greedy executive that’s only looking at the bottom line and doesn’t understand the solution might be eager to implement AI in order to cut jobs. Everyone suffers when jobs are eliminated this way, and the product rarely improves.

I agree, this is a work function so HR could be invoked.

That said, I’m with Anon on this one. His coworker started it, and while on the surface Anon’s response sounds much darker, Anon is punching up and Israeli Coworker is punching down.

The potato famine was an economic genocide incited by colonial powers. You’d think if they get a laugh out of that they’d also get a laugh about currently ongoing genocides.

The friggin’ dogs in Resident Evil.

I have a kind of funny story about that. I was too young to be playing RE when it came out, but that didn’t stop me from sneaking it out of my dad’s collection of grownup games to try it anyway.

So there’s this well known jump scare, probably in the first fifteen minutes as you say where you’re running down a hallway and suddenly some dogs jump through these glass windows. I screamed, fumbled the controller, and was eaten by dogs. Might have been the first jump scare of my life.

So I hadn’t hit a save point, so you have to start the game over. So I decide to just leave the mansion through the front door instead of going out that way. And you get a cutscene where a dog jumps through the door and you have to wrestle it away.

I still haven’t played the game since.

But my wife and I are a big fan of the series, so eventually we decided to marathon them on the condition that she plays RE1. She’s playing the remake and goes into the room where the dogs jump through the windows and I’m holding my breath waiting for it to happen. Only it doesn’t.

So I’m a little disappointed, but I figure it’s a remake so maybe they’re switching things up a bit and going to put the jump scare somewhere else in the mansion.

Sooner or later you have to backtrack through that corridor though, and on like the third time going through this “safe” corridor the dogs jump through the window. She screams, fumbles the controller, and is eaten by dogs.

Seven-year-old me was vindicated that my adult wife also got punked and I’m not alone.

The kill command allows you to specify which type of kill signal you want to send. -9 sends signal 9 or SIGKILL, and we’re sending it to pid 1.

That would force kill systemd, which I just have to assume will send your computer to a crashing halt.

The echo command is writing "c" to a file at /proc/sysrq-trigger which I don’t really know how it works but this suggests you’ll “crash the system without first unmounting file systems or syncing disks attached to the system.”

I haven’t installed fuck so I’m not sure how that works

Imagine if there was a train to the hospital that also did triage.

So you get on the hospital line and a nurse determines if you need urgent care. They could take you to a less crowded hospital further down the line or dispatch paramedics to next stop.

Reminds me of this bit

Here’s a “fun” tidbit: even as late as the 1980’s it was cheaper for films to buy actual human remains than convincing fake skeletons. This happened famously in Poltergeist (1982).

Not that I doubt the locals or anything - and like, fuck Microsoft - but what kind of industrial waste would a data center have?

From the article, it sounds like the facility is still under construction, so I imagine there might be construction waste, but that’s not really my field and I don’t know what that looks like. Runoff cement?

Just so you have a heads up:

If you use yt-dlp like a regular user, you shouldn’t have a problem. If you use it to download like a thousand videos at once then YouTube may block you out or rate limit you or something.

If that happens, or that’s your use case, then you may need to use a VPN

I had to put a capo on green in order to beat Through the Fire and Flames.

The intro is the hardest part, after that you can ditch it. But like… it’s a valid strategy
