This one will still be playable offline after the fact, so its offer is way better than the games that are the focus of the Stop Killing Games movement. The games they’re targeting are completely unplayable after being killed.

Screenprinting. I also did work as a quality tech for machining. Manufacturing jobs in general do not seem to get any public recognition even though they can be some of the most engaging and can cater to a lot of people that don’t enjoy the employee-customer relationship.

That being said, finding the sweet spot for management can be a challenge.

It’s a career path that’s practically ignored in schools and I wish math classes used more examples from engineering and manufacturing to answer the age-old “Where am I ever going to use this?” question.

There’s a movie called Unhinged where someone honks for too long at Russell Crowe’s character and the rest of the movie is him angrily chasing the main character. It’s absolutely hilariously unrealistic and it’s super fun to laugh at.

I’ll pitch in since no one’s mentioned Reelgood.com yet. Justwatch has been inconsistent for me in the past.

It would be hilarious if we finally figure this out and all our pets are like “Nah, man. I’m not that interested in talking. Just leave me alone.”

I think about how many times things like this happen to individuals that don’t have the weight to warrant an article where their entire collection of online data just gets wiped out and Google responds with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don’t trust your data to the cloud, folks.

Exactly. Some of my favorite movies are not at all masterpieces but you can tell the whole cast and crew are enjoying their time on set. I’m hoping this is that.

This could actually work if they go the way of the Need for Speed movie and try not to directly tie it to any one game’s storyline. Absolute banger of a game universe with plenty of potential for fun.

I can speak to this. I did phone support for 6 years working with VoIP (internet phones). In my experience, it’s much less their ability to learn and much more their willingness. So many people I worked with never wanted to go off their beaten track of what they already knew how to do.

They would do it often because it was a management decision and they were stuck with calling support. Even just training a group of 4-5 people how to transfer a call could take 15-30 minutes of explaining all the details. They don’t want new phones. They just want to get back to the work they know.

There are certainly exceptions and occasionally they will even find it fun to learn something new or get new features, but this was definitely not the rule.

I’ve always considered the perfect technology to be one you never realize you’re using. Linux, as broad and powerful as it’s utility can be, is anything but seamless to someone who doesn’t already have years of experience with it.

Because [buzzword here]!

Nope. They were just trolling and fucking around. It was obvious sarcasm:

If this is true, please let there be a story sequel, too. I want more BT, dammit!

Probably because this is just a poor implementation of one. Here’s an example from ChatGPT:

Sure! Here are some motivational four-word quotes:

1. “Believe in your dreams.”
2. “Never give up, ever.”
3. “Success is the journey.”
4. “Live life with passion.”
5. “Dream big, achieve bigger.”
6. “Push through the pain.”
7. “Stay positive, stay strong.”
8. “Embrace the unknown journey.”
9. “Hard work pays off.”
10. “Rise above the challenge.”

It seems like every time I see a bad example of an LLM failing, people seem to associate it with every LLM. Like most things, not all LLMs are the same quality.

Yeah. Maybe one about Noah’s Ark or something. No way that could fail.

Old Boy is a movie that constantly has you on edge because you can tell something is going horribly wrong, but you’re not sure what it is. Once you find out, the whole thing is fucked six ways to Sunday.

Thanks for the summary. I started on PS1 and we haven’t really seen many fan projects for anything in that era just yet. I’m hoping this type of stuff makes it to PS1 and above at some point so I can enjoy this type of nostalgia.

Now I know to look out for this sort of stuff if we ever do make it to that point.

I guess I get it a little bit, but do these get custom labels and a box? Being limited run, it’s probably cost prohibitive to press them. On top of this, unless you go digging, does this make any difference to how the game runs?

Just seems odd to complain about this. Maybe I’m missing something.

Edit: looked again and missed the fact that these won’t run on the actual hardware. Now I get it. Yeah. This would annoy me, too.

The thing that always gets me about these theories:

Okay, it’s revealed the Earth is flat and all of our modern science is a coverup. How does this affect me in my day to day life? I still have to go to work tomorrow.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a great way to break this metric as well. Fantastic emotional rollercoaster of a story that’s over in about 2-3 hours. The original Portal also fits here. Probably about 4-6 hours for most people, but hits hard on quality and impact.

Huh. I’ve been a fan of pretty much everything they put out. I’m curious what this album had that the others didn’t for you.
