Shows what you know about Satanists.

Satanists don’t believe in Satan. They call themselves Satanists because it annoys the Bible bashes who likes to hide behind religion as an excuse for being terrible people. You know, the types that like to say “we are good Christian conservative god-fearing family” and leave you to fill in the missing pieces.

Satanists advocate being good people and helping each other precisely because there isn’t a god to enforce this stuff. Satanists aren’t Christian and they don’t believe in God.

Their website barely even works it honestly looks like a scam organisation. I can’t find any description of what it is that they actually do which makes me believe that they don’t do anything.

I honestly don’t think anyone does listen to him. He’s just shouting into the void at this point.

I would be genuinely interested how many industry professionals actually bothered to subscribe to him vs other studio bosses. I’ve never heard of him post anything industry related, it’s always just ranting like this.

Generally speaking if people go out of their way to tell you how wonderful they are it’s usually because they’re not.

Look at Ellen, and Oprah.

You know Tim Sweeney really could do with having his social media access taken away from him. It’s not like he has anything of value to contribute.

He should stick to just announcing Epic releases and otherwise just shut up.

If China has managed to do something that scientists genuinely thought was impossible why are there several nuclear fusion research facilities all over the planet? If it’s impossible that seems like a bad use of resources.

I think maybe that scientists thought it was entirely possible, and that’s why they were trying to do it.

I remember trying to set up an Instagram account ages ago and not being able to do it because the app didn’t work on Android. Gave up after that.

I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. Currently basically nothing runs on it, even most Linux kernels don’t support it. I’m sure that will change in the future when CPUs become available.

I don’t think it’s the consumer market because I’ve seen basically nothing with that system architecture. Actually that’s not true I know of one product that uses RISC-V, and that is a development board that you can drop into a Framework laptop chassis. Which is the development purposes only in barely works.

I have not seen anything marketed as just a general device that uses RISC-V chips.

Inflation is the measure of how much buying power your money is worth. Wage stagnation is wages not keeping up with inflation. They are not the same thing.

Wage stagnation isn’t a result of inflation because inflation happens first. So yeah when working out the equivalent price of a product inflation needs to be taken into account but so does how much money everybody has.

If $1 in 2005 is worth $15 today, but I still only get $6 an hour then it isn’t correct to say that a product that cost $15 today is effectively the same as a product costing $1 in 2005 because it’s not taken into the fact that I don’t get more money.

Also even for people who want they can just get a gaming handheld and then gain access to a bunch of games which rarely cost $80 even when they’re brand new. Buying a Switch 2 just isn’t a financially sensible decision for anyone regardless of how much money you have in your bank account

Yeah that’s the problem there’s nothing really compelling for it. Plus they’ve done their classic Nintendo thing of take a great product and then just add a bunch of gimmicks and claim innovation e.g the mouse mode thing nobody cares about. Also them being tight about the controllers and not putting decent hall effect even though they know they have a problem. It just proves that they don’t actually care about their customer base.

Gee could it possibly be because there’s absolutely nothing compelling about the product? Everything about it is just crap.

It’s overpriced for what it is, pretty much all of its features are gimmicks and do not demonstrably improve on the original, everyone knows their games are overpriced and never reduce in price, and if you breathe on it in the wrong way Nintendo will sue you for 1100 quadrillion dollars. What’s not to love?

Yeah I never understood why anyone would create an account. It’s not like you need one to watch the videos.

It’s not that developers are switching to AI tools it’s that stack overflow is awful and has been for a long time. The AI tools are simply providing a better alternative, which really demonstrates how awful stack overflow is because the AI tools are not that good.

Yeah my company is going through this at the moment. I’m super duper hoping I get fired because I’ve worked for the company long enough that I’ll get an a bit over a year worth of severance. That’s just about long enough for them to realise that they actually need us and then they can rehire us back at a higher rate. As per established process.

It’s going to be excellent.

No I don’t. I’m sure C suite executive think that’s the case, but every time they’ve tried it they’ve always had to back pedal and hire the human staff back.

Could be worse.

Could have been “gamers dessert Intel in droves”

I’ve always thought it’s a super weird place for them to have a fab just in general. It’s never been the most politically stable part of the world and surely you don’t want your several billion dollar infrastructure getting blown up, so why would you put it somewhere where that’s more likely?

The CGI in that movie is just awful. It would have probably genuinely been better if they had just stuck to practical effects and just lend into the cheesiness.

Does a scene where one of the characters picks up a sword for the first time and honestly I’ve seen better quality Minecraft props on Etsy.
