Every single person with a working brain has been complaining about making cars more and more “connected” and reliant on software - it makes the cars LESS safe and less repairable. Heater or AC won’t work? Sorry, you gotta subscribe to unlock that. Any customer who looks at that and says “That makes sense, the company can’t give that out for free” is a fucking idiot who deserves to be scammed out of their money

Meh, not gonna happen and we all know that

Clearly what the world needs, more fucking spam

Marcin Paczynski told The Game Business he could “write a book”

Please do

He didn’t even know that he owned the rights because this was just a package with his inheritance … we have a lot of stories like that.

Wow, no wonder the dude wasn’t aware. “Oh, just a box with papers. Meh”

stories like developers whose physical documentation of IP ownership was torched in a fire

It’s always interesting to know which games’ rights might seem “completely lost”, just so we can 🏴‍☠️ in peace. Say, wasn’t this strategy something GOG did originally? Just sell and see if the current rights-holder shows up?

No no, it’s totally meritocracy, see, his son worked real hard for that!

Not as l33t as All Yor Base

The client asked for this last Wednesweek!

It’s not like QA would’ve caught these problems before it went to production anyway

Too much overengineering there as well. Just copy the entire database into a google spreadsheet

twenty twenty five, august, five

two thousand and twenty five, february first

Also, Gearbox only got involved like last year

Used to*, it was fixed in some version or another, where the procgen no longer evaluated how far you were from the origin

You sure that’s a tutorial and not the “about” page of half of github, where you have no fucking clue what the project is about?

Just you wait until latin languages need to throw áccênts and çedils around

It was an internal system for keep track of several projects. That still used 600MB more javascript than it actually needed for what it ended up doing anyway; purely static pages could’ve done everything needed, except maybe the animated graphics, but the create/edit forms were a fucking pain to even test, because not a single fucking element had an id and the date picker was literally impossible to target with Selenium

I’ve once worked on a project where the compressed .JS shit was ~27MB. Uncompressed it was ~600MB.

Sounds kinda kinky

My dumb ass found out that FLIF “became” JXL after posting. So…

A little format’s jrand adventure
