  • It can help fill in with weaknesses that slow developers down.

    No no no no…

    You don’t want AI replacing devs where they’re “weak”. That is literally the worst thing you can do with AI. All that does is mean the devs aren’t qualified to assess and debug those portions of code. The solution to devs being “weak” in an area is for them to gain experience doing that task.

    Some programmers use AI to make boilerplate code they can easily check to save time without much issue. That’s about the only thing you can use AI for in software development with little risk without taking up excessive time checking/fixing what it shits out.







  • First game was hot garbage. I don’t get how CDPR managed to stay solvent long enough to make a second game, let alone a third. The stance system was horribly though out.

    Then the 3rd game’s logic for whether you get the good/bad/neutral ending was also terrible, and the main split happens 20 hours before then end of the game. Not only that, to get the good ending you have to completely skip multiple scenes. Completely stupid, and ruins the entire game.

    The way I see it, CDPR owes me at least one full priced game with how much of my time and money they wasted on this bullshit. They don’t get a dime from me until that balance is cleared, and I include GOG in that boycott.


  • Making a reply this confrontational is probably doing more harm than good. Cookie-cutter replies don’t help, you need to actually tailor the response to people’s needs.

    Also, sometimes parents are completely terrible people. I have a grandmother that only sees people as things to manipulate. She doesn’t care about her kids apart from how they affect her image, because she’s a Trump-level narcissist. Making claims that could easily be wrong also hurts your case



  • I think they may have meant that you don’t get to decide on how other victims of depression feel about suicide. Nobody else shares your life, experiences, and values so iyou shouldn’t assert what they should do with their lives.

    If that’s the case they were trying to make, then they didn’t do the best job explaining themselves. Or I could have completely misunderstood their comment


  • Unfortunately, this take often reads like conservative pundits that only “care” about fetuses until they’re born, at which point they’re considered a drain on society.

    A lot of the quotes people repeat when trying to help someone ends up backfiring. You can’t just repeat plattitudes. People suffering from mental illness aren’t stupid or deaf, they’ve already heard the lines before. Mimicry doesn’t help.

    The only generalized thing I can recommend people to say when trying to help someone with mental issues is to just ask: “What do you need?”. If they need space, give it. If they need to talk, listen. If they need something else, be honest about whether that’s in your ability to help with.

    Another important thing to note is to not view them as something that needs to be fixed. And you need to be very honest with yourself about that. Most people will try to “help” because it makes them feel better, not the person they’re trying to help.
