my guess is the software equivalent is the architect role - basically someone high level that doesn’t code much but does design the overall way that systems interact (or, to put it redundantly, designs the architecture of the full system)

however i don’t know if this term is en vogue as much anymore except for very large scale businesses (i would bet money that banks employ architects, for example)

hey! i watched him in HS as he absolutely ran over everything on the field!

honestly i don’t know why he did so poorly on the NFL - did he have drug/legal problems, or was he just a flop?

is he required to be in court for his criminal trials?

is this a self-reported number? or should we really take it at face value and believe it’s accurate?

I really just wanna see the judge eviscerate this “no victims” defense BS. We do NOT wait for someone to be hurt to enforce the law. Can you imagine how many speeding tickets would be pled out of if this was a legitimate defense?

Even if you scope it down to the case at hand, we’d keep letting people commit financial fraud until the bank is finally harmed. And guess what happens when banks get fucked? The govt uses the common people’s tax dollars to bail them out.

why does that initiative “only” need 383k signatures when the abortion initiative needs 600k? i’m assuming they don’t already have 220k signatures to explain the offset

one last gift with a final check and a letter congratulating them on making it to the real world. i think one of my aunts was still sending me stuff but i got a letter from my uncle i think telling me i’d made it to the real world. at some point the gifts felt nice but we’re also kinda pointless so I totally appreciated the letter and the congrats.

edit: i also agree with the other comment tho. if you see something that makes you think of someone, by all means buy them a gift! but you don’t have to force something every year

ok i’m in love with the williams livery. anyone know if I can get a model of that?

fair changes, but the ONLY way forward is to fire riccitello. i don’t see how anyone can trust them again until that happens.

removal of the retroactivity piece will likely appease a large number of devs tho (dunno if it’ll be the majority but that was the biggest wtf for me)

there’s already some devious levels from the community :)

i was also happy to see it’s got new levels from the devs too - had originally thought it was only gonna contain rebuilds of existing ones

i usually play with biters off so i can’t remember - are there names for the tiers of biter evolution they could use instead? would be kind of a funny semi-troll way to name them, but i guess they might not like new players not knowing what the names represent right away

even steve urkel would know who did that…

was really looking forward to ONE week where we didn’t hear them talk about max all race long and we could focus on a real fight at the front…but no. 5 laps in and it was already “max is gonna lead the race” and “he has a real chance”

like, okay, how about you wait til SOMETHING happens before declaring that crap

really glad we got to hear about a straight up comparison against space exploration. i’ll admit i was hoping they’d go a different direction (i’ve seen people mention going underwater which i think would have been a ton of fun and a guaranteed differentiator from anything currently available)

all that aside, the most interesting parts for me are the engine changes:

• improved blueprints? how? i can’t say i’ve ever had much to complain about with factorios blueprint system
• better flying robots behavior. this one could be huge, when i built a large base it was hard to properly balance logistics robots and not feel like they were just not working as well as they should

a year away tho! that’s okay, we’ll live, i just got sucked back into satisfactory (playing sf+ which is basically bobsangels for sf and it’s GLORIOUS).

i know all us diehards will pick it up sight unseeen, but unless there’s something flashy, like a graphical overhaul (which i’m not sure the diehards would be in favor of), i do wonder how it will stand out and attract the newer players that have been playing the newer automation games and might only look at factorio skin-deep and not get as excited for.

and i’m okay with all that, but i also want their work to be appreciated by as many people as possible so here’s to hoping they can nail the marketing

ahhh. i thought for sure he was suing the fleshlight manufacturer!

patent: “physics!”. eat it universe!

as another middle-aged person who’s been dealing with a lot of the issues both you and OP mentioned - do you have any tips for task paralysis? that’s the one that has had the biggest impact on me (as a former workaholic in particular)

yeah I really miss the game-specific subs that always crop up on reddit. Been playing remnant 2, and the two lemmy communities I found are empty save for 1 post while reddits remnant sub is thriving :/

also I miss my metroidvania sub. Small price to pay, I try not to touch reddit but I have been peeking in at the remnant sub just to see what people think about the game

can we take bets on what a “tweet” will be called now? my bets on “chi” (pronounced kai)

weird. i totally just see a half-human half-cat with her leg/foot flipped back
