I take my shitposts very seriously.

  • "B-b-but what if one day I get to be the billionaire cunt exploiting others for my personal profit? I don't want to pay taxes when that happens, that's so un-American and anti-Freedom!"

    Seriously, paying taxes can be annoying, but considering that I get (mostly) free healthcare, cheap medicine, emergency services, public transit, public infrastructure, free education, and who knows what else, it suddenly sounds like a sweet deal.

  • That's why you shouldn't drive a 1969 Mustang project car immediately after getting your licence. You figure it out on a 2003 Honda Civic, then move on to bigger things when you have both the basic knowledge and the willingness and ability to advance your knowledge.

    You claim that installing with btrfs failed. Did you look into what the error messages meant? You claim to not know what Flatpak is. Did you look it up?

    RTFM is not just a thought-terminating cliché used by elitist wankers. It's a philosophy you have to live by if you want to play with powerful toys. Look at manuals, the Arch Wiki, Stackoverflow, or ask a clanker. If that's beyond your abilities at this time, you'll either have to improve yourself, or surrender for the time and try a more beginner-friendly OS.

  • POV: You maintain a JS library that 80% of modern web infrastructure uses as a dependency.

  • Considering how many websites were temporarily obliterated by the left-pad fiasco, being an npmjs maintainer might be an even higher power-to-effort ratio (by virtue of a near-zero denominator) than being a billionaire CEO.

  • Imagine bitching about pineapple on pizza when those gastroterrorists are unironically putting ketchup on sausages. It's sacrilege, an atrocity against man and god.

  • Highguard Developer Makes Layoffs Affecting "Most of the Team", Two Weeks After Launch

    Jump

  • Marketing is extremely important for a game's launch because it's the only opportunity for a game to make a first impression and set expectations, and to gain player goodwill. When an announcement trailer is presented as the final spot on TGA, the audience expects a game worthy of that spot. Geoff did the game no favour by doing that, or by doubling down on twitter. They've cocked up the marketing and ruined player goodwill that may have caused some people to overlook the product's multiple issues on release.

    Coming back from that takes a lot of fucking effort (see: No Man's Sky), which they're obviously unwilling to give, so why would players waste their time for the promise of a better game? Highguard is a failure of design, a failure of management, and a failure of marketing; and I'm not at all sad that it's getting flushed down the drain.

    It sucks that the first to feel the effects of this entirely predictable failure are the workers.

  • That would be true in a vacuum, but there have been plenty of examples of "good" games completely fizzling out simply because they were unremarkable in a saturated market. Lawbreakers was a fairly well-received objective-based team shooter with interesting movement mechanics. It was killed off because it couldn't compete with Overwatch for players' time. Then there are the countless battle royale games released during the reign of PUBG and Fortnite, and all the wannabe Halo-killers, CoD-killers, WoW-killers... history is littered with the corpses of "good" but otherwise unremarkable games that thought they were the shit.

    Highguard isn't just a failure of a game, it's a failure on the studio's part to learn the lesson: players' time and attention are limited resources, and you need to be exceptional to compete in a saturated market.

    They didn't just make a bet. They made a bet on the horse with broken legs.

  • Not just idiots. They are complicit. They had a big button in front of them that said "Do Not Put A Nazi In The Big Chair", but they didn't push it because it was blue and not green, and now they have a nazi in the big chair.

  • Realistically, is that a factor for a Microsoft-sized company, though? I'd be shocked if they only had a single layer of redundancy. Whatever they store is probably replicated between high-availability hosts and datacenters several times, to the point where losing an entire RAID array (or whatever media redundancy scheme they use) is just a small inconvenience.

  • This is not meant for human beings. A creature that needs over 140 TB of storage in a single device can definitely afford to run them in some distributed redundancy scheme with hot swaps and just shred failed units. We know they're not worried about being wasteful.
