  • I am speaking from experience.

    The latest example of that I encountered had a blatant logical inconsistency in its summary, a CVE that wasn’t relevant to what was discussed, because it was corrected years before the technology existed. Someone pointed at it.

    The poster hadn’t done the slightest to check what they posted, they just regurgitated it. It’s not the reader’s job to check the crap you’ve posted without the slightest effort.


  • Every now and then I see a guy barging in a topic bringing nothing else than “I asked [some AI service] and here’s what it said”, followed by 3 paragraphs of AI-gened gibberish. And then when it’s not well received they just don’t seem to understand.

    It’s baffling to me. Anyone can ask an AI. A lot of people specifically don’t, because they don’t want to battle with its output for an hour trying to sort out from where it got its information, whether it represented it well, or even whether it just hallucinated half of it.

    And those guys come posting a wall of text they may or may not have read themselves, and then they have the gall to go “What’s the problem, is any of that wrong?”… Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it’s wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up, and have only brought automated noise to the conversation.

    Using joy-cons, it works for me. Are you sure you’re holding A? That is, whatever is mapped to NES A on your controller (the “jump” button).

    Edit : also, if I remember correctly that only brings you to the beginning of the world, not specific level. So if you were on 1-4, you’re still going to 1-1.






  • I did not read the full article, but the first advice is what I did, and I don’t regret it. I’ve been working in a public institution’s dev department for 3 years, after a dozen working as a contractor for big companies. It pays a fraction of what I could get elsewhere, but I got benefits I value way more than that.

    A lot less stress, concrete work on services that have immediate and beneficial impact on people, colleagues that don’t consider everyone else is competition, and somewhat flexible hours with generous annual leave.

    I am not sure that kind of job is available everywhere, so I got “lucky” I found this, I guess. But it’s not like I had to fight for it either. Our team had vacant positions for years because nobody was replying to the job offers. And I just had my contract renewed. I was the only candidate.



  • It’s not a very notable thing, and we don’t see who the hands belong to, but it just seems like what they went for IMO.

    Cadence of Hyrule is pretty good, more forgiving and more of a connected map with item-based puzzles compared to Crypt of the Necrodancer. The map is reordered between games, but it’s mostly designed rather than fully procedural. It’s fun.

    It borrows heavily from a Link to the Past visually, but has references to many episodes. You’ve got enemies from Breath of the Wild, Gerudo, Goron, even a full Majora’s Mask inspired DLC.


  • I am more familiar with Forza Horizon, which is my own comparison point, but, yeah. It’s like they missed why those were fun.

    Also, those button missions. They’re slow to set up, they interrupt the flow of driving, they’re mostly easy enough you can still beat them while messing up completely and they don’t incentivize breaking records.

    Compare that to speed traps and danger signs in Horizon. You see them, you speed through them, you do stupid shit. No pause, no slow as hell camera move showing you the obvious thing you’re supposed to do. It’s all organic.
