  • I wish they’d fix their deployment process. Releasing stuff then having to go back and fix it again can’t be helping their schedule, especially since they’re trying to release more stuff.

    • Fixing the mech made its rockets way off and unusable
    • Ship upgrades: half of them didn’t work
    • Stim fix didn’t fix stick sound issue
    • Liberator isn’t the right gun stats
    • Tenderizer isn’t the right color

  • The new warbond, which took up dev team time, is not impressive/has a draw to bring people back.

    I think the release pace could have been fine if they could release without new bugs every patch, address the existing bugs, and stop squeezing fun out with the balancing they’ve done. As is getting a nerfed liberator and being told the final versions of the guns is coming isnt a draw.

    Personally reading the balance guys thoughts on the game, its a wonder the game was fun at any point. I’m not sure his vision but things like not even realizing how people would use the eruptor for its aoe damage is confusing.







  • Couldn’t agree with this more. First few seasons they find their footing, but when they do they have some of the most incredible story lines and pay offs. It has become my favorite.

    If you’re really struggling you can probably watch the episodes rated 7.0+ on IMDb in seasons 1 and 2 and still get a lot of what’s happening in season 3 and later, but you’ll definitely miss some backstory. Deep space nine being stationary generally did a good job with continuing characters and stories over time imo.








  • On one hand it’s a pretty common acronym in consulting-businees work. But on the other you’d think Wired, as a general tech publication, would want to take the two sentence to explain what it is and how it’s generally used.

    It could be a pretty big value to remove humans in this step. A lot of times the rfp contents are known-ish anyway. You’re a tech dev firm, and someone wants a proposal for building an app in a framework you know, you already have language probably you’ve used. In theory this is a great application of AI to speed up the process of building this. The request is “hey we need these things and want this and this”. A consumer facing business might present this information as a FAQ or custom order process anyway, so automating an rfp could be good since it speeds things along.

    In practice, who knows. If it isn’t accurate, if it takes longer to edit than just write from scratch, then that would suck. It’ll likely be another way to “reduce headcount” cause of “efficiencies” regardless of how good it is. I doubt this changes anything for most sales executives job status, for people who work in those departments that support those execs though, probably not good




  • Yea the only thing that didn’t satisfy me with the self replicating is the “they can just… keep replacing themselves? Man replicators really are broken” and how fast is this replication? Like if the dominion wanted to send 1,000 ships through and it could only take out 5-10 before exhausting why not just send the ships through.

    But if the mines were phased and could detonate when the big ships are through, or even inside the big ships, they’d think twice. Again, just weird head canon I had to explain the minefields effectiveness in the show haha
