I audibly gasped when the trailer announced it will come out on the Switch 1. Got it on day one

Soma Assetto Corsa mod packs were only available to download through Discord, it was awful

There are companies that offer RaaS, basically radar rentals.

I’ve been using wgetip.com for over a decade now

growing up in a 3rd world country, it has always been, specially when considering the language barrier since games were not translated into my language back in the day

I’ve noticed that most people are pretty bad at explaining board game rules, and some outright refuse to fully read the rules, which leads to confusion, which leads to frustration.

Also, when playing a new game with kids, play a few rounds thinking out loud and explain why you are doing what you are doing. It really helps them understand the game better.

I did reply “yes, 1500 divided by 3 is 500 and divided by 2 is 250”. No acknowledgement of my commentary tho.

I literally had an argument with a coworker over the implementation of an ISO standard. I had a report issued by the government and a book on said standard, plus several up to date online resources from ISO itself.

Without going into much detail, my workplace sells a product that’s makes use of an industrial computer that has two regular off-the-shelf hard drives in it. For some reason both hard drives are similar, but were sourced from different manufacturers. We got a notification from the provider that manufacturer B would cease production and proposed us to use two drives from manufacturer A instead.

I had the genius idea of giving my two cents and suggested we accept as it will work, they are just standard hard drives after all.

Now I became the hard drive expert at work, got dragged into endless meetings and being asked the dumbest of questions regarding this change. It’s been a year and the change hasn’t been approved by higher ups yet.

I check and lurk HN almost daily, what surprises me the most is how the AI discourse changed almost overnight. There must be an astroturfung campaign going on and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all LLM generated.

our company renamed out ML team into AI team, just to please investors, they been around for over a decade and never touched an LLM

I had a friend who was a true believer in Stadia, he even sold his gaming PC as he was gaming in Stadia full time.

When Stadia shut down he told me “at least I get to keep the controller”
