Buggy games should be 100% allowed to be refunded.

I have no idea how many runs I started in BG3. Every few moments I report a bug. Every update the game seemingly gets worse. Decisions don’t work, pathing is awful, after the latest update attacks no longer connect properly and my character claims not to be able to attack with a clear line of sight and so on. I have never...

StarkillerX42,

Steam is known to be more generous about the rule if you have few refunds on your profile and a decent amount of purchases. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for updates, even if the update makes the game unplayable.

OP is gatekeeping

VSCode is an open source IDE. Its biggest rival is the JetBrains suite. When the alternatives are proprietary, VSCode is a win.

StarkillerX42,

The community editions are still proprietary, and they put the most useful tools behind the paywall.

StarkillerX42,

Let me google that for you, Jetbrains provides a convenient list: www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=pycha…

StarkillerX42,

I did for a few years. Eventually I had to switch to VSCode because any given Jetbrains product is only good at a single language, and constantly switching Jetbrains products is a nightmare. Now that I’ve been using VSCode for a while, there are some extension that are so critical to my workflow Jetbrains is virtually useless to me without them.

Most extensions have good equivalents. Other languages like Julia are VSCode only. Fortran was the language that really made me jump ship, PyCharm’s Fortran extension is barely syntax highlighting. Remote - SSH is the killer though, it is a beautifully made and essential tool for working with remote systems.

Most importantly, PyCharm doesn’t really have any killer features or extensions that makes it essential.

But if the 5 year old was allowed to buy a gun, this would never have happened!

There are other query languages. InfluxDB develops one called Flux. It’s a master class on why corporate led open source can really suck. Daily use features get deprecated all the time and each new release is breaking. The documentation is horribly insufficient and the language syntax is usually not clear and it wraps many behaviors into one vague function name. Yes, SQL is pretty impressive.

StarkillerX42,

That’s the most Influx-like decision ever.

StarkillerX42,

All of them. Every idea any web designer has had since 2000 has been a bad one. Content on the internet is exclusively worse since Facebook was released. Redesigns let management get convenient quarterly objectives and we spend way too much time redesigning when we could be getting features. It’s all absurd.

StarkillerX42,

Valve has to buy up all the modders because they can’t afford to have them making mods that fix CS2 that end up killing the player base on the main game.

I would be fine with PDFs exactly the same except Adobe doesn’t exist and neither does Acrobat.

I don’t know anything about this hack because I just heard of it, but I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. I know this is how it will end because this is how every deep dive into snap issues ends.

StarkillerX42,

I left Ubuntu after they apt install firefox became a hidden alias to snap install firefox. Every time Canonical does something worse, I’m reassured I made a good choice.

Overhead baggage is a scarce resource. If you don’t pay for a carry-on, you pay for a carry-on by paying for early boarding.

Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths (www.theverge.com)

Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US. Alongside the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company now seeks to remedy the products after four known death cases — three without a helmet — between...

$100 off of a $2000 replacement, the rest of which will have to be done out of pocket. “We’re down with offering a recall, but we had to make sure it lines our C-suite’s pockets first.”

So much corporate beer…

By your own argument, CS2 is worse than Overwatch. CS2 removed over half of the maps, features, and the gameplay is way worse. Overwatch gameplay was pretty similar, although switching to 5v5 has its problems. It ran the same on the same hardware. The biggest change was the economy which doesn’t affect gameplay. I feel like I completely lost access to CS, but I played OW2 for months until the gameplay problems with the meta became more apparent.

StarkillerX42,

CS2 feels like a downgrade from CSGO in a lot of ways, but CSGO at launch and CSGO at end of life were two completely different games, the same is probably true for CS2. Long term support is what keeps games going.

Sour/loaf, why do you ask?

StarkillerX42,

That’s me. I stayed home, avoided events, and waited to go to restaurants until cases were down. When I did go places, I went when it wasn’t busy and sat outside. Avoiding COVID wasn’t rocket science, all you had to do was follow the basic principles of disease prevention.

To be fair, the pi’s have always been famous for low quality sound cards, so there’s plenty of hats that can add the functionality.

The Irishman. The fact that I lost 3 hours to that pointless slog is so painful I’d rather just forget all about it. I’ll never get those 3 hours back, but at least the regret will be gone.

StarkillerX42,

I HAVEN’T BEEN RUNNING WITH THE PACK FOR A BIT BECAUSE I’VE BEEN DOING MY OWN THING BUT NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE I HOPE YOU ALL WELCOME ME BACK AWWOOOOOOOOO!!!

StarkillerX42,

I just stopped buying liquid soap in favor of bar soap about a year ago. It lasts longer, cleans way better, uses no plastic and has almost 0 waste.

StarkillerX42,

That’s because they’re the only soaps that really get your hands clean. You’re used to bad soap.

StarkillerX42,

Remember that Martin Scorsese’s last big movie was The Irishman, so he isn’t saving the movie industry either.

Also, Hugo was based on a comic book, so kind of hypocritical.

StarkillerX42,

The problem probably was that Coke isn’t in the soda creating business. People already drink a ridiculous amount of sodas. Coke is in the soda cheapening business, the only thing left for them to do is cut corners until making soda costs nothing. New sodas are just an opportunity for them to redefine cheap to a new low. This is why you should buy independent, small scale soda companies. Their entire business model is making something better than Coke.

This post is so old I saw it on Facebook

Glitter is not a major micro plastic source, and people who buy glitter are probably not people who are worried about micro plastics anyways. Car tires are so much more of a micro plastics source that it’s almost not worth worrying about other sources until we figure that one out.

StarkillerX42,

The same electric systems that just got recalled?

StarkillerX42,

It’s much safer to step on a rusty nail without a shoe. In order to remove it, odds are they’ll want to cut through the shoe first, but while barefoot, it’ll be much easier.

How am I supposed to consider his position when that is anon’s profile picture? Is he expecting to be taken seriously?

StarkillerX42,

If it’s a new car, then it’s less efficient than your old car. This is still true (or possibly even more true) for electric cars.

Elementary particles didn’t have a color for most of history, but recently xkcd made a comic on the topic, giving us a definite answer to the question.

Actually getting a good ending to the ASOIAF after GRRM dies is gonna be one of the big turning points that transforms everyone’s opinion on AI.

It’s gonna be like fan edits for movies. People will debate which is the better version of the story. The only person hurt by this is George, who will be dead and was never going to finish the books anyways.

Doom 2016, runs better than Windows and looks amazing. Better in every way over Doom Eternal, not sure why anyone liked Eternal tbh.

StarkillerX42,

Actually, I gotta say that’s the last thing I ever want to have to drive in any context, with pretty much any surface, in pretty much any weather. Turns out I don’t stay inside when it flips like mister chief does.

StarkillerX42,

It’s the middle of Oktoberfest season, and you went with IPAs for this meme?

StarkillerX42,

A neat trick I learned recently. The vertical /smaller/secondary monitor should go on different sides for different people. Hold a finger close to your face and close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye more closely matches the both-eye image is your dominant eye and is where your secondary monitor should go.

They actually just call it a royale without gps

Downloads depend on the server as well as the client. I can say for certain that I’ve never been able to download a 24 bit flac album in less than 30 minutes, usually over an hour.
