I’ve heard about people being encouraged to use AI-Tools and monitoring how they are used is good to identify if people are actually more productive with it, but forcing people to use it seems like forcing a gardener to use an excavator where a shovel would have been a sensible option.
and atleast so far the experience at work is, that stuff that the AI can handle somewhat reliable, we have determinstic tools for. guess working a boring java job has its perks :D
devilutionx is the best way to play it, but if thats for some reason not an option have a look at dxgl or cnc-ddraw both are replacements for the old ddraw that play better with wine. Used it to play command&conquer before the remaster
who gets fired if they don’t use garbage generators?
knowing where something happens is not knowing what happens and especially not knowing why it happens.
A big import of data caused a specific datapoint to be inserted twice into the database, but that only happened in our shared testing environment not in our development environment, logs made it clear that we tried to insert something twice into a join table but not why.
the fix was easy, we can remove the duplicated datapoint from our data before writing it to the database, and we found an edgecase we can handle further upstream so we don’t end up duplicating it in the first place, but why didn’t we run into this issue in dev?
the data is consumed from a kafka topic with a single partition and read order is allways the same as write order, so our service behaves the same way if the same data is written to the topic everytime, but it turns out the producer does not necessarily write in the same order to the topic given the same input and gaining that understanding was a goose chase with debuggers, logs and combing through code of multiple services written by multiple devs working at multiple companies and thats the true horror of enterprise development jobs, teying to get someone from a different team or even company on the phone who can actually explain something to you with whom you can analyse a bigger part of a system.
emotional dysregulation is a common symptom of adhd, meaning intensity of (initial) emotional responses can go overboard.
that just seems like putting the same work into ‘spec’ i now put into code, but having to hope the ai produces something usable, and not like something that would save actual effort.
my boss is going to love that though…
busybox and uutils from the top of my hat.
no extra manager, EA in this case is early access and you redeem the code on pathofexile2.com
it will be free to play, when it leaves early access. during early access you’d have to buy a supporter pack.
got 3 2 1 EA Keys lying around, whoever sends me a message with a joke gets one. if i get a lot of messages your joke better be funny :)
memes are also acceptable ;)
e: all keys have been sent.
or any other material that the Corporation deems unacceptable to sell in connection with a Mark
which could be just anything.
yes, arcade stuff is lacking on my list. The few i have played where mostly on an atari 2600 and simmiliar home consoles way after the fact and the only arcade i’ve ever seen was in a holiday resort thingy :D
Zelda: yep, was surprised there was no mention of it after i looked over my “finished” list, original Zelda and ocarina of time should probably be there, maybe a link to the past. did not play breath of the wild, so don’t have an opinion on it. But zelda -> altp -> ocarina of time is a nice showcase of 2d games transitioning to 3d, and the item based exploration and progression is found in a lot of games.
halo: i am not a console shooter guy and on pc it felt like a very good game, but atleast to me not ground breaking. through the lense of console shooters it’s probably a huge milestone.
unreal tournament: if i’d be listing my favourite games it would be there. but it did not have the impact on e-sport cs or the quakes had so it would be another technical showcase. the unreal engines became very important however.
sonic: yes, at the very least to show another take on plattformers.
gta: yeah, 3 onwards as blockbuster movie equivalents. don’t ask me why they are not on the list, no idea.
gran turismo: if we include simulators, we should also list a bunch of microprose work, richard burns rally, the microsoft flight simulators and so on. Definitely an interesting section of gaming, but not one iam part of so hard to tell what to include for it.
chrono trigger: yeah, my list lacks non western games and chrono trigger deserves to be there simply because of its ambitious scale and the fact that its one of the greatest games i’ve ever played, what was i thinking?
earthbound: never played it :(
castlevania: the early metroids and later castlevanias for what we know as “metroidvanias” today. I’ve played castlevania 1 and 2 and there is not much of what makes metroidvanias in them. fun games though.
the full book in pdf is linked on the page for free , it’s very much worth the price for a paper coppy however.
the blog is also a treasure trove of techincal details for various games :)
i think that honour might go to total annihilation.
i also remember the final fantasies on the psx having an orchestral pieces jn their soundtrack, but those might have not been performed by an actual orchestra originally.

a more tech oriented book about doom.
great read for anyone who is into programming.
shadow of the colossus seems like a great game, but i’ve never heard its music referenced as pioneer work, what did it different in that department?
oh, absolutely, rogue and nethack, they are the foundation of crpgs and dungeon crawlers.
i just fear we’d need increased security to break up the fight between groups with various definitions what ‘roguelike’ means.
Kerbal Space Program is awesome :)
Videogames are still a young medium, very diverse and changing so rapidly, that i feel like there is no established canon of ‘classics’ or ‘high impact’ works. We’ll probably end up with dozens of lists like this in such a topic, and might end up without a single game that made it onto all of them, besides tetris.
if a simmiliar question was asked in a movies community i’d bet any list with more than 10 entries would include metropolis, nosferatu, citizen kane and star wars, just because those are widely agreed upon movies that had an impact.
yes, you only need a file called “diabat.mpq” which you can extract from the installer or copy from an existing installation.
hellfire requires some mpq-files as well, but those can be obtained in the same fashion.
