Just curious what issues you’re having with the Epic store. I’ve bought a few games now and thought the process was pretty smooth.

I hate that I read this while taking a leak

On GitHub, after you make a PR go up to the URL. Right after the pr number add .diff

This will give you a full pr diff. Paste that into what LLM you’re using. I usually prompt with something like

“You’re a senior web engineer. Give this PR a review being aware of modern code practices and syntax. Try to uncover possible bugs. Give 3 to 5 actionable suggestions.”

There’s probably a way to do this in the tools, I’ve just found this works.

These people all work for what seems like huge (video game) businesses. It’s a pretty entitled position to say results aren’t the most important thing. The fact is, they are. If you want the freedom to do things your own way at your own pace, go make your own indie game. I guarantee these “journey over results” types would end up with feature creep and never ship a finished product though.

On the coding side, I’m a senior dev who has been in the industry for 20 years. Not video games but for the web. Easily 40% of the code I ship now is AI written. I’ll use a different AI to review my PRs saving my coworkers time catching the little mistakes I overlooked.

I’ve cut days off my workload over the past year and to say all AI is slop is being intentionally obtuse to the tools. Basically we’ve all been promoted to manager roles and LLMs are the mid level workers we oversee.

This article is trying to paint a picture that these tools are without value and I can feel your finger hovering over the downvote button but the fact is the genie is out of the bottle. They’re not going away and today is the worst they’ll ever be. People that say they’re slower with these tools are going to get left behind by people who are proficient with them.

I was thinking the other day, imagine a plane went down in 2015 with Kanye West and Elon Musk aboard. It would be like “ah man, there go a couple legends”.

Redemption events at shoppers turn 200k into $300 or 250k into $400 on Black Fridays. Last year they had an event to double your entire point spend which was the best redemption yet (500k became $1000). I’ve used these events to get my PS5, PSVR2, Xbox, switch, Sonos speakers, Apple Airpod Max, sim race wheel. Of course starting this year they’ve stopped carrying all the cool electronics.

All this being said, you can only redeem a max of 500k in any translation so keeping anything more than that doesn’t serve much purpose.

Both regular and Kinder

This one had a fair bit of success in America, they had popular cartoon in the mornings in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it was my first exposure to anime.

Make no mistake, this was also years in the making

Yup! Also the other host Christian appeals to the Sega kid in me. He’ll uncover gems that evoke the Dreamcast era.

People are more likely to go online and complain than to compliment. But why take internet comments so seriously. I have a handful of trusted sources that I use to get my opinions on games. DLC Podcast for example is a favorite of mine. I’ve gotten to know their tastes and where they overlap with mine so when they get excited about a specific thing I’ll know if I’m likely to enjoy it based on our shared interests.

When you get a handful of voices that have a strong overlap with your own taste then you can get outside of the tribalistic bitching of the hive. Comments don’t even concern me anymore.

Incase you missed it or didn’t finish the article they’re looking for support (I suspect they won’t be getting any from the government)

MySpace mail when?

Coolio was a part of a group called WC and the MAAD Circle. Hard to tell but it might be them.

Edit

They were also featured on a track from the same album. I’d say there’s a good chance it’s them.

Blast Corps

Not aware of a Payless comp to this. They did have a campaign where they put their cheap shoes in a luxury pop-up store and had influencers gush about the high quality products which was pretty funny.
