TIL: The director of Factorio (shown during Nintendo Direct) has a history of sexism, homophobia and racism; claimed that "statutory rape" is an "SJW term"
  • This article is creatively interpreting everything to be evil, then calling it evil.

    Literal claim from the article: "Then Kovarex defended that women shouldn't be software engineers"

    ..and shows a message screenshot as proof where the first fucking sentence is Kovarex saying "I am not defending that women shouldn't be software engineers".

    This type of extremely dishonest outrage farming is just another form of cyberbullying.

  • How is everyone doing?
  • Researching the rocket silo, 46%. Still on yellow belts and inserters, mostly basic assemblers. Trying to stay low-tech to keep from having to expand a lot until I have full logistics.

    Biters have evolved enough to be a pain in the assembly line.

    Slowly building a wall of belt-fed piercing turrets to encompass base and a few resource patches so I can get some peace.

    Think I'll aim for Fulgora first! It looks so wonderfully weird. Like a dead 70s/80s scifi comic world.

  • The Star Citizen Situation
  • The term "scope creep" comes up a lot, but to be honest that's not happening here.

    They have no scope in the first place. No coherent vision.

    The say surface-level vision-like things and present scope-like plans, but only as disposable tools to get investment. No single person in that company tries to tie it together to a real scope or real vision, or align development with it.

    Smart and capable people work on any random game-like stuff that they find interesting, in the hope that it will all somehow become a complete experience all by itself.

    What talents do you have?
  • Really good at programming.

    I know most programming languages and have so many opinions of them, many angry ones.

    Have made many small games, servers, web apps, desktop apps, high frequency trading code, 3D graphics software, random number generator library.

    At a company I worked for, I solved their programming test with a hand coded printer document: When printing the document, overly complicated document layout rules would solve the problem on the printer's little computer chip and print out the solution. (Obviously not during the interview, but afterwards for fun.)

    Yes it sounds like insane bragging but this is what I do and I am happy about it and proud of it.

  • Welsh crypto bro throws away hdd with key on it, sues council for not letting him dig it out
  • That's an unnecessary loaded headline.

    He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.

  • What talents do you have?
  • Every? None.

    It would help to rephrase or contextualize your question, in order to find better answers. E.g. What motivated you to ask? Do you have any suspicions on ubiquitous talents?

  • me seeing all the content creators playing space age right now
  • If it helps, keep in mind that the game is not in a releasable state yet and they are also beta testing the game. Nilaus managed to run into a complete gamebreaking bug that he needed to spend some time debugging with Wube and lost a few hours of progress to restore to a valid state.

  • Have Kids They Said
  • A plea for anyone having this happen, be gentle.

    It is easy to think a tantrum is because the child wants something and either gets pissed that they don't, or are trying to make a scene to get it.

    Sometimes (often?) it is more of a stress and panic reaction. And it can be hard to tell. Even if the tipping point was not getting biscuits.

    Whether your reaction is to give in and buy them something, remain very firm that they do not get biscuits today and this is not acceptable behavior, or decide to pick them up and carry them to the car, be a safe and calm presence for them.

  • I like your room elephant or romantic partner ♥️
  • Sometimes the compliment itself is fine, but other people in the room feel they deserve it more.

    "Nice job! You really are the best at X in this company by far!" isn't received well by the two, several years more senior, X-ers sitting right next to me.

  • Pain scale mysteries

    47

    Today's mystery: Do I have a cold, or did I socialize too much this week?

    • Saturday: Event in town, with small kids, socializing
    • Sunday: Teambuilding event
    • Monday: Work strategy meeting
    • Tuesday: Held a presentation and socialized
    • Wednesday: Work strategy meeting
    • Thursday: Course w/group sessions, parents over for dinner
    • Friday: Work event, work event
    • Saturday: Museum trip, family visit

    Throughout the week, slow buildup of joint pain, feverish feeling, lack of appetite, swollen throat, buzzing head, torpor, lack of focus. Today I am just broken.

    These are all (for me) normal physical reactions to overextending myself socially or spending time in sensory intense environments for any amount of time. They are also symptons I would get if I caught the head cold that is going around.

    It feels extremely silly that I have literally zero idea if I have a cold or not.

    Anyway, treatment is same either way: Take it easy for a while. Mostly wanted to share my frustrating confusion and maybe hear if others have similar experiences and how they manage. :)

    Fern Brady's book "Strong Female Character"

    This is part strong recommendation and part wanting to know thoughts of others who have read it. :)

    Fern Brady is a scottish comedian who grew up with undiagnosed autism in a very catholic small town.

    It's a brutally honest and personal story, and she manages to write everything in a way that I found captivating. She can describe situations of absolute torture in a way that makes them seem both heartbreaking, and almost funny in their absurdity. Like a scene where she got recommended an app to help her with meltdowns and describes how she is crying and punching her fist bloody against her living room wall, while with her other hand opening an app and seeing suggestions like "think of a puppy!", "count to ten and think of the last nice thing you ate!"

    For me, the description of a years long struggle to push through a medical system with little and outdated understanding of autism resonnated deeply.

    SLPT: No wine glass? Jam a bundle of uncooked spaghetti into the bottle.

    Make sure they stick out a bit on the top. The capillary acton from the tightly packed spahetti draws the wine up so you can drink it.

    factorio.com Friday Facts #413 - Gleba | Factorio

    IntroductionAlbert Making a new world in Factorio is relatively "easy", just create a new set of tilesets for the ground, add some new models of trees, create a bunch of new decoratives, some decals (optional), a new skin for the cliffs (optional), and bam! you get a new planet. Well, to be fair,...

    The Netherlands' track Europapa is one of the most memorable of the show and was described by one critic as "so bad" it will "put you off music forever".

    Angelina Mango - La Noia (Italia 🇮🇹) | PrePartyES 2024

    Contrary to most other performers, I think Angelina's performance sounds much better in the live perfoemances than the studio version.
