I figured we were already there when Trump gave that “Tomorrow, a country will be wiped off the face of the map” ultimatum, earlier this year. Figured someone must’ve talked him down from it.

Name would suggest it’s part of the upcoming developer verification feature. The one that will prevent installation of any app from a developer not registered with Google, without jumping through some extra hoops.

I was thinking about saying Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, cause I still rewatch it every year or two, but thinking about what I watch for COMFORT? Like, it’s my comfy thing to put on in the background, way too often? Dragonball Z: Abridged.

The thing I learned when I had dishwasher issues was to always start with the manual. You’ll probably be surprised with how much info is in the manual.

The Samsung dishwasher I had issues with had 50+ pages worth of diagnostics and repair instructions, including detailed meanings for every unique error code that can occur, and instructions for putting the whole unit into a test mode, where you can force each motor to run independently, run test routines for sensors, etc. Gave me everything I could want for DIY repairs.

Can’t say it’s always this nice, of course, but this adivce has served me well for other appliances since.

Groose.

Loooooooooooooool. “You’re not allowed to reverse-engineer this reverse-engineering tool.”

Upvote for recommendation to make a GBA game. GBA is seriously a joy to dev for.

Inarguable China W.

Metroid: Dread. Awful controls, and REALLY awful late-game bosses. Sucks, cause there’s otherwise a lot to love about it.

Nine Sols. With only one exception, every boss started with a good, fun, design, and then felt compelled to escalate to the point that all the fun was ruined, and then keep going. Again, really sucks, cause there’s a ton to love about it.

WTF, we already HAVE Ghost Rider in the MCU. Has everyone already forgotten Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Unless I’m mistaken, this wasn’t written by the folks that scaped GitHub in the first place, someone just wrote a small tool to semi-automate the process of searching the scraped dats, and submitting a GitHub issue to have it removed.

I literally discovered this yesterday when I sat down to look for options to play Halo with my son, which he’s expressed interest in for a while now. $50, no split-screen co-op, and an always-online requirement with third-party account linkage. Yeah, I’ll be dropping that $50 on a used physical copy and a second controller, after digging the 360 out of the garage. Piss off, Microsoft.

Anecdotally, from a programming support community I hang out in…

i’ve never seen anyone promote the values of Clean Architecture in the practical world. The only reason I even know about it, really, is because it’s a pretty popular topic for amateur/beginner developers to come in and ask about, because they read a book or a blog article about it, or are being taught about it in a class. And the response is always, universally, “Don’t use Clean Architecture, use Vertical Slice Architecture.”

I get the vibe that it’s been popularized in the same pattern as microservices or lambda functions: someone at a super-scaled company like Google or Amazon published a blog post about it, and how it works for them for some niche scenario, and everyone latched on to it as trendy, despite the fact that their scenarios are NOTHING alike

I choose to believe this is satire. Also that this man holds no significant position of prominence within the industry.

Initially read this as “Grifting made easier” and was quite intrigued.

My guess would be that it’s geard towards bugfixes. If a consumer discovers and fixes a bug in the original source, they’re obliged to push it back upstream, or at least publish it so others can. Vut they still get the freedom of MIT to add new closed-source features or work it into a larger-scale closed-source project.

It’s not a PvP game, so “getting outgunned” isn’t really a concern. I ceetainly had fun with my time with it, without ever getting any of the DLC (except for Big Bank, maybe? I can’t remember if that was a DLC or not). But had had a friend group to play with. YMMV.

I’d always assumed most cams are pirated by the projectionist, or other employee.

And then I get to watch Abridged lol.

Abridged is just legit better than the original. Not even close.

The dreaded crossover cable.
