Can you not just create a local social club account and use it to save your game progress? Iirc that how it supposed to work at least

Well, that’s an absolute exception and no one should even consider such an occurrence to be a new standard ever

/s (just in case)

In the end the people who ran the hegemony of cable TV just got their hands on the TV streaming services and turned it into the hegemony of TV streaming service.

Nothing have changed the goals people at the top had - they just needed time to adapt

DAO+Awakening is just a chef kiss, nothing is perfect in this world but as far as games are concerned DAO is an amazing experience.

DA2, huh, I did finish it like twice I’d say and I don’t remember much. Can’t say much but I guess this fact is something in itself.

DAI got a joke for a story, from the very first minutes it’s just laughable. I did enjoy the crafting and fighting in DAI but even those have a fair amount of flaws (limited number of abilities cause of console support and so on)

“DAO does have some age” sure thing - it’s in the name

Uhm… What should I be seeing exactly?

Well, that’s probably a wrong kind of ‘open’ to what FOSS means by ‘open’ yet I’m not convinced. With the whole 'anybody can make an instance and collect all the data they wan’t it’s kind of awkward and messy. How much of the said data you can obscure/encode without losing the openness between instances?

Because if one instance can’t verify actions of another then you have an issue dealing with bots and overall the platform becomes way more obscure and less reliable as a source of information.

And like if the buttons themselves had an ability to openly show who upvoted/downvoted a post - how much of a difference would’ve been here? I don’t feel like it’s such a concern.

The point about deletion/edits - it’s not about removing your info from the internet, it’s about correcting what’s wrong for the sake of providing correct. If it’s on the internet once it’s there forever. I don’t see people complaining about weyback archive doing their thing. Yet it’s doing exactly the same thing possibility of which upsets so many people here.

If you monkey brain posted you home address and where the keys are - it’s on you, not on the internet for storing the info.

The only real point I see here is corporations/governments scraping all this data for their use. Yet as long as they can federate there’s nothing much to do and if you try to restrict federation then it’s just a bunch of forums with extra features.

Well, if you can smell something for days and stay alive then the smell becomes neutral (as in the source doesn’t actively tries to kill you)

Well, Twitter is a mobile game now… Is there something to consider it a gacha?

Go back to Africa to protect gold mines there?

I don’t think it has anything to do with being a programmer or not, it’s just about being a human and that’s basically how human are in general.

So yeah, I think if a person is ‘meant’ to be mean and arrogant they will be mean and arrogant no matter the job.

Overall you can make many mistakes in almost any field before mastering it. The only things I can think of that are kind of specific to programming (not exclusive though) are that you don’t have to be nice to people(which is kind of a requirement for sales, for example) and access to feeling of accomplishment that you have created something possibly great.

Plus being slightly more disagreeable is generally a good feat for a programmer (depends on the company and position) which also may contribute to the cause.

Yeah, overall I don’t think I really felt any correlation between being a programmer and being an asshole.

Edit: On the second thought I think there’s a possible correlation between being a programmer and how much of an asshole they could be…

It depends on the data you have to work with but SQL is quite capable in itself. Yet SQL might be tricky for some specific tasks (like unwrapping dimensions from a plain table when you have to partially rotatate the table, building multidimensional datasets) and for those cases more traditional approaches tend to he far easier to grasp and use.

Like… Can you use it? Yes. Should you? If you’re highly skilled and proficient in SQL then sure, why not… But would’ve you asked the question in the first place if that was the case?

I don’t have to do such tasks often enough (once in a month or two) to be brothered and when I need to I’ll just smack my head against the table (ha-ha) until I make it (remember that part about being skilled in SQL - I’m not skilled enough lol)… Maybe I’ll polish the result with some script or a bit of Go. But that’s not an approach I’d recommend to use on regular basis.

Well, I prefer not to put a “\n” in dates but you do you mate
