Trying to get things lined up for the Dawntrail expansion for Final Fantasy XIV next week. When first announced I wasn’t very excited, but as it gets closer I’m looking forward to it more and more.

Also dispensing libertea in Helldivers 2

“Labour will also remove the discriminatory age bands, so all adults are entitled to the same minimum wage, delivering a pay rise to hundreds of thousands of workers across the UK.”

I like this change, shame it wasn’t in place when I was younger!

My concern with this is that for a lot of young people retail is their first job, and so I suspect retail is predominantly young workers. What kind of impact would this have on the economy? E.g. if Morrisons hires lots of younger people and they now need to increase all their pays, I’m guessing they’ll need to cut staff numbers or increase prices? Of course they are going to avoid cutting into their profits. Now times this by however many retailers there are. I can only guess there is the hope that people will buy more.

I’ll be glad to see the backs of the Tories, but I don’t have high expectations for Labour. Every time the Tories fuck up Labour simply suggests “we wouldn’t do it that way.” Hindsight is a pretty powerful thing and I don’t know if they’ll be able to make the right decisions either.

Tories definitely shouldn’t win, but I don’t feel labour deserve to win. I feel like I’m voting for the lesser of 2 evils 😞

Have production costs increased or has marketing/publishing costs gone up dramatically as gaming attempts to get a greater demographic and introduce predatory monetisation methods? Tools and techniques for game development surely improve over time making development easier and more cost effective.

I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I’m still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn’t be able to explain why it worked 🤣

Removed double quotes, added single quotes

It’s nice to not be on the hype train for every major game release, because ultimately they will have the same shitfuckery shoed in, likely because of publishers. BG3 was a genuinely fun game and I’m glad Larian has done so well. You can really see a difference in games when it’s made from passion rather than the drive to make as much money as possible.

If anyone genuinely feels this way and wants to get started in coding, I highly recommend doing one of the mooc.fi courses. Codecademy is fine as a taster/refresh but don’t waste money on the premium when something like mooc is available for free.

I’m hoping something occurs to retcon the Discovery future, because it’s not a future of trek that I’m excited to see more of.

Once you’ve cleaned it out you can buy USB-C port covers. They are so cheap for a bunch of them and prevents the issue from happening again

I really wish Titanfall 2 had been more successful. I loved the mech gameplay and it really fulfilled that fantasy. Here’s hoping we eventually get a Titanfall 3

I’ve only recently joined the dev world and I saw this post in the morning. Late this afternoon I’m doing a deployment that fails, couldn’t determine the cause as I’m a noob, before bothering a more senior dev for help I run it again… It worked.

I have to disagree with the Windows key being useless. Win+Shift+S for selective screen grab to clipboard. Win+E to open a new Explorer window. Win+D to show the desktop. They were my go-tos. Now I’m forced to use Mac I use the Win key all the time too, Win+C, Win+V…

Life is hard. You may not feel like talking to people about it but you’ll be surprised how understanding people can be. The situation you are in right now can’t change if you don’t make a change. Easier said than done I know, but you’ve got to get a bit uncomfortable to improve. If that means talking to someone and admitting you’re in a bad spot, so be it, for all you know that friend of yours may know of an opportunity for you.

This is cool, I didn’t even know there had been 62 before this. Is there anywhere we can see any progress of the participating teams?

I can see the writer’s point with regard to Encarta being a much more interactive experience that you don’t get with the likes of Wikipedia, but you’re right, it’s not that unfortunate that knowledge is being shared by Wikipedia for free

Charge people to go ad-free. Keep increasing the sub price over time, then provide a lower cost version with minimal ads.
