Yeah I will never understand why discord has replaced both forums and subreddits, the form factor doesn’t fit the discussion style.

I feel like there should be, imo, it’s against the spirit of liminal spaces to use things that don’t actually exist.

Quality is an optional feature that gives marginal gains. It’s cool and great for min maxing, but you can ignore quality and still get everything out of factorio

Use a pomodoro timer

Nice.

I like the idea of the concept behind star citizen. I also like not getting scammed.

For that reason they will not see a cent from me.

That’s the joke.

TIL Groupon is still a thing

Building our my computer factory to finish T3. Still need to do heavy modular frames

When playing space exploration I would build systems to measure the delta from my system in orbit and what I need to keep 100% up time to load my rockets appropriately. This is going to be a nice QoL for systems like that

As someone who thinks we are in an AI bubble about to burst, this article has “old man angry at the kids using new technology” vibes.

It’s impressive how many Ls one man can take while still getting media coverage

They were closed, they don’t owe you shit.

Or he went back by choice and someone captured the moment? You don’t have to be outraged about everything, you know.

This is the interview. I don’t have a timestamp but the whole thing is compelling.

Basically David brevik said that there was no story and the cut scene on the end was added by blizzard south. They had no intent to add that.

I stand corrected though. Metzen is credited as a writer on Diablo. But not Diablo 2.

I suspect Metzen wrote the ending that was tacked on according to Brevik, since at that time blizzard north was a completely different team at the time.

There was no story for Diablo 1. At exile con the creators of Diablo talk about how there was no story and the execs at Blizzard tacked one on. Chris Metzen had nothing to do with it.

Blizzard is dead. At the time they were Activision. Now they are Microsoft. The blizzard that existed to make StarCraft, warcraft and diablo only exists in name.

The spoilers are pretty light, if at all. If you want to go in completely ignorant, id say to just skip it. There also isn’t a ton of content there that you will miss if you do skip it.
