This is a US website no?

Ditto! My mum would jazz it up a tad by making an apple sauce to go with it. To this day it’s so memorable for me as a delicious desert but for some reason I’ve not attempted to make it myself

Hate to be that guy, but the federation exists in a post-money society. No one gets paid, they do what they do for prestige, pride, adventure, and the good of humanity. Maybe the management believe they can inspire their minions to do better, or maybe the SME’s are so used to that shit that they under promise and over deliver.

SME: “oh no, our defences are down” Captain: “How long do you need to fix them?” SME: (hmm, captain will cut the time in half, it takes about 15 minutes…fuck it…) “Two hours” Captain: “You have one” SME: (Like candy from a baby)

I had to turn the music off as it got repetitive, but the rest of the audio stays on. The sound effects are so satisfying as everything is counted after playing a hand and you’ve got a bunch of jokers and cards triggering and then flames begin to build up.

To add to this, get yourself a USB-C nubbin to protect it going forward.

I’m guessing the top management didn’t learn that crunch is perceived negatively and doesn’t always yield quality results. I’m so glad I never backed this game all those years ago.

Dawn of War 3 was absolutely ruined by them trying to make it an eSports. I find most RTS doesn’t give that same feel we got when WC3 first came out or later on when Company of Heroes was released. They were solid games that brought something new to the genre.

I’m still in those early cautiously optimistic stage where I hope I can make a positive change that will help those who come after me. How long does it take for the pessimism to set in? 😂

Thanks for this. As part of onboarding I have been trying to update where I can. There are times I wonder if I am adding to docs what others may perceive as fluff as it may be something obvious to them. I like to work with a “If we’re all on a bus that goes over a cliff, does someone new have everything they need?” mentality.

At present the team is using GitHub Pages, which almost feels like a hurdle itself in updating the documentation quickly and keeping it organised and consistent. Being a junior I personally prefer a WYSIWYG. From your experience is there any pros/cons in using a WYSIWYG vs Markdown?

Thank you for those links, it has given me a great place to get stuck into!

After the first film I didn’t subject myself to more of it

That’s nice. Maybe one day they’ll make a Dawn of War III.

I quite liked Zack Snyder’s works regardless of what people would say, even thought Army of the Dead was average but watchable. After watching the first Rebel Moon I realised the works are all style but barely any substance and I just can’t see myself getting invested in anything released under his name in the future.

I feel like if he was paired up with a great writer and someone who could reign in his use of slow-mo we could be on to a winner

Scary Movie 2…

I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They’re putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it’s too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses… if they exist.

As adults we are dubious of the results that AI gives us. We take the answers with a handful of salt and I feel like over the years we have built up a skillset for using search engines for answers and sifting through the results. Kids haven’t got years of experience of this and so they may take what is said to be true and not question the results.

As you say, the kids should be taught to use the tool properly, and verify the answers. AI is going to be forced onto us whether we like it or not, people should be empowered to use it and not accept what it puts out as gospel.

Oh damn, I did not know about the allegations of sexual assault. Definitely makes sense companies now backing away from working with him.

I thought the first season was alright, had some good moments and an interesting premise. I’m not surprised it was cancelled however.

It’s also the switch from : to - that gets me
