    Halo was great but looking back on it that shit was a downgrade from Quake in the 90s. Gameplay wise anyway. We then got more than 20 years of chest high wall shooters.

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

    One of the junior engineers asked me for help on something. I noticed that he was cloning the repo over and over. I asked him why he isn't just branching. Dude tells me that he doesn't like "branch clutter." He clones the repo every single time so he only sees one branch and master. We have 7...

    Its more of a rhetorical question. The reason is the lack of engineering chops. You needed to be very cognizant of memory management and lean programming because systems had far less resources. Now that resources are much less of an issue you can yolo everything. But after doing that for 20...

    I played Rogue Trader the past few weeks. Great game and a fine addition to CRPGs. It did have glaring problems with the engine, quest triggering (such as missing swathes of quests because of out of sequence failures), combat breaking, and numerous other problems. Something kind of common with...

    The long term effects of that were catastrophic. Maybe game metrics weren't as advanced then but they had to know how many people actually raided to begin with. I'd bet both my balls the majority of players in Vanilla and BC never raided anything. They probably didn't even do Heroics in BC.

    This is definitely a big rabbit hole on game design philosophy. But all AAA games have adopted it because they love "metrics." Most of this revolves around the following principle. If you spend $500k in dev time on your cool hidden dungeon, but only 1% of players ever touch it this was a wasted...

    I'll remain skeptical. Game design these days is just getting worse by these studios and I am not sure if this will be an exception. Skyrim was great in 2011 (god damn) but Skyrim was derivative compared to Oblivion and even moreso Morrowind. I think it is very likely to expect the game being...

    I think this game needs a pressure point. Outside of weird scenarios nothing exists in the game to put pressure on you. Heat, O2, and resource squeezes happen slowly sure but you never get attacked by bandits or something. This compels you to do and try stuff to make it work like in Dwarf...

    You must take a leap of faith here and provide someone you want to help you get a job with your actual resume. I thought this was obvious.

    Operation New Career

    Are you being a dumbass? It is implied here that someone can use the internal referral system, official or unofficial, to submit his resume. This bypasses the immediate filters as most companies have a policy to actually call anyone referred by an internal FTE. I've done it for several on here...

    What are you playing?

    Started playing Bioshock after you reminded me. I haven't touched it since 2008 or something. This is a damn good game. Really puts into perspective how much slop there is out there and how shitty game dev is these days. Endless early access slop, microtransactions, and things just being shitty...

    Okay I mean that the CGI parts actually look good even when mixed in with the actual animation. Most animes that try this suck dick at it and it looks like shit.

    Been a few years since I picked this up. Haven't messed around with the cyborgs but the oxygen masks and stuff make the Swamp biome way less gay. I am realizing how much of the stuff you can build is just totally unnecessary traps now. I kinda approach these games as build whatever and figure...

    I would have just demanded he file a ticket for it. Then demand that he has an approval for the HR db from the HR team.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    It does annoy me that I missed the Genestealer patriarch because progressing that quest is behind a stupid dialog option. I had just finished like 3 hours of back to back fights and the moment I got to the bridge the Vox guy was all "we have some reports from the lower decks. Wut do?" I said...

    I mean its $5. A beer you drink in less than 30 minutes is like $8 today. Mass refunding here is quite gay. The game being super short is also quite gay.
