    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    They did the mass layoffs yesterday at GM, where I currently work. Got to see my shitty manager walked out of the office. So that was cool! But I really would have preferred that severance package. It was quite generous. So its actually disappointing. The reorganization will be pretty...

    Job Hunting

    I had a 5 hour onsite interview last Wednesday... will follow up today but may be another write off. Living in a tech oriented city like Austin makes me realize just how much competition you have for anything. This is most likely why they can get away with shunning people just because you don't...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I distinctly remember everyone I knew in EQ and Counterstrike bitching about steam being a pile of shit when it hit the market in 2003 also. Mainly because it took out Gamespy overnight. So pretty par the course here with people bitching about a new comer.

    Better comparison. Do you buy milk from whole foods or public/local grocery store for the shopping experience?

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I was never going to play this game to start with. The entire argument that all titles need cater to the platform I want or reeee is just fucking stupid though.

    Boo hoo. Ponying up cash for exclusivity is one of many ways to make shit happen. You don't have to like it.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I really feel everyone in this thread is glossing over some massive shit here. Let's take a look see! We (people on this forum/PC gamers in general) are invested in Steam because it has been the only game in town for so long that we have potentially hundreds of titles and thousands of dollars...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Say what you want about it. I don't like this Marshmello dude's music or anything but what an impressive amount of innovation. I tip my hat to epic who does constantly introduce radical new elements into their game. I doubt this has every been done before. So that is damn cool.

    So this is kind of what I make already I guess. Just take out ya cai and chili oil and replace it with a small amount of ground meat and gochujang. If any of you are not familiar with gochujang. Its korean chili paste ans basically one of the greatest things ever. The great benefit of korean...

    @Lanx hit a brotha with some tasty ways to make Green Beans. I normally just stir fry them up with Gochujang or Szechuan chili oil, soy sauce and the like but god damn are they tasty that way.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    My coworker had this argument with me today and it's silly to consider it this way. Steam - Comes into an empty room in 2002 or whatever and draws in the developers this way... yadda yadda GOG - Moves in via the retrofitting old classic games for newer machines. Low expenses because Poland, no...

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    The big offender there is the nice roasted spices and sauce mixes for mapo tofu and stuff. Some of them are really really good but often have the completely wrong photo on the front for some reason (lol china) which has given me several unpleasant surprises! I was skeptical about pre-made stuff...

    I also won't drive 45 minutes to get to H Mart from where I live. Hana Market and MT is reasonable close. Although I do have to ask some people about shit at MT market since their utter lack of organization is super annoying. Here's a bunch of bins of shit imported directly from China, hope you...

    And we're back to Quayle. God I hate that fucker. After this shutdown of the passage it is getting more absurd to me how Management is able to run the organization. The Office of Interchange was, by their historical narrative, founded around the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the...

    Hmm, not looking too interesting for my tastes. Where do you find stuff to read? @Ukerric is there a good recommendations list on goodreads I should look for? I don't really record what I read there so I don't make good use of its algorithmic features.

    You actually bought this thing? Seems like it wouldn't be a real efficient kind of device to me. Much like the Hong Kong Automatic Cooking Machine (Stir Fry only though!). With my favorite HK youtube thot.
