    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    This. Granted, I only played TotK but I assume it's the same in BotW, but pausing the game to scroll through an item menu during combat? Completely breaks any flow. What kind of retarded game design is this?

    Yeah, I've never used Cowork. Just Claude Code CLI and, for work, we're stuck with Copilot CLI.

    I can't say this has been my experience, but it may be due to my workflow. I follow a structured process: I first have the model fetch the ADO story and write it to `story.md`. The story already includes Given-When-Then scenarios, which provide a solid foundation. It then reads the story...

    That's the problem I have is that there's no good way to judge which model is appropriate for a task other than feels. So I just crank it up to the max.

    I think the same about BotW.

    For our team, most individuals were unaware of AI coding agents until quite recently. There were no mandates requiring anyone to use them. Instead, only a small number of people expressed curiosity and experimented with the IDE plugin. Then, a few discovered the CLI and enthusiastically began...

    So, some asshole exhausted our credits, and now we're having to code like cavemen for the rest of the month, I guess. Is anyone else having this problem? As developers, we have zero visibility into how many tokens we're consuming, what the limit is, or if we're approaching it. Not only that...

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    Born in 72. I watched He-Man but was never my favorite of the animated shows. I favored GI Joe, Transformers, and Thunder Cats. Now, Thunder Cats I would *love* to see a version reimagined for now adult viewers of that 80s cartoon. Just stop trying to make this stuff appeal to newer audiences...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yeah, a lot of those loot mods just make you way too op. The game isn't particularly difficult to begin with.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Bam! Published my first BG3 mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/23291 Something that has always annoyed me is how the Disguise Self illusions always look the same. I initially wanted to create a mod that could truly randomize individual illusion features at runtime, but this...

    It's obviously not your type of film. Move on.

    Scary Movie (2026)

    I only ever found 3 and 4 to be funny, and that was because they were directed by David Zucker. I much prefer the Airplane! humor.

    Watched this the other day. It's very strange, but hard to understand what the hell is going on. Great atmosphere.

    Guild Wars 2

    I get what you're saying. Guild Wars 2 progression is horizontal not vertical. I hated it at first, but once I became more casual I loved it. Once I got ascended gear I didn't care anymore. Just do whatever I want.

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    Yeah, I have a dedicated Windows gaming PC. The Linux box is basically a workstation. And everything has been perfect until this recent ALSA update. This could also be something funky with this MSI motherboard. I see a few posts out there of people complaining about it but nothing has been...

    After updating CachyOS, my audio suddenly stopped working. Upon investigating, it turned out to be the same god damn problem I had encountered before with other distros.. a failure to properly configure the ALC-whatever audio on this MSI board. I remember looking into this in the past, and no...

    Backrooms (2026)

    Yeah, I watched this earlier today. As someone noted above, Backrooms is well suited for a home viewing and does not require a theatrical experience. Hoping to support the independent film makers, I chose this over Masters of the Universe, though the latter now appears to be in more need of...

    Yeah, running with a duergar war priest, tempest, light, and knowledge as controller/buffs/heals. Steamrolling everything so far. Also running the extra enemies + mini bosses mod.

    Stargate SG-1

    Oh, it'll go away when they realize no one is watching the shit. Again, they are trying to make "content" for an audience that doesn't exist.

    Stargate SG-1

    The newer audience they're desperately chasing doesn't even watch long-form sci-fi shows. They're glued to 15 second TikToks, Instagram Reels, and YouTube shorts. So while they're busy alienating the older fans who actually kept this franchise alive for decades, they're left with nothing.

    Stargate SG-1

    Probably for the best. SG1 went on for 10 seasons. What more could they do in this universe?

    Your Friends & Neighbors

    I only watched a few episodes of S1 and got bored waiting for more thievery. So you're telling me they dropped that completely? Then what's the hook?

    Anthropic showed off what looked like a desktop environment that built apps on the fly. So, yeah, certainly possible but would be super expensive to run.

    I mean, didn't they just contaminate Titan? Good job?

    Does it give sort of a Lovecraftian vibe?

    Widow's Bay

    Yeah, this came out of nowhere. I didn’t expect much, but it’s written, directed, and acted by some genuinely talented people. Also, no wokeness at all.

    Widow's Bay

    IMDB shows 10 episodes for the season. So, 3 left. Got some Lovecraftian horror up in this. Still loving it.

    Awesome double feature! 5/5

    The cynical take assumes that the current pool of human developers, even seniors and architects, are consistently making high-quality decisions. From what I’ve seen in our own codebase, that’s often not the case. We have multiple examples of questionable design choices and technical debt...

    I am betting that your typical human coders will 'fuck' things up just as much or more. The difference is that when AI does it, we can iterate and fix it stupidly fast and at almost zero marginal cost. Humans? Good luck getting them to even admit the bug exists, let alone ship the fix before the...

    For All Mankind

    I mean, getting to Titan, landing, etc is an extraordinary, extraordinary effort. There is no freaking way they could do that in the timeframe the show suggests. I'm not even sure why the writers went there. Ganymede or Europa would've been *maybe* believable since it's "next door" to Mars.

    Dating

    No where did I say having a conversation with a female is torture. I talk with women all the time at work, a couple are good friends. Even they sometimes rib me over why don't you get a girlfriend. Not interested. The torture would be actively trying to find one to enter a relationship.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Right, I was thinking Death or Tempest would definitely be in there. Not that I totally trust what either model spat out, but might be interesting because I've never ran a light or knowledge cleric. Will give it a go.
