oh man Q3A on the dreamcast with the keyboard and mouse was peak.

this is actually what it should be used for. If companies pivoted their AI use to exactly that I almost guarantee you peoples opinions, i.e. middle manager wannabe techbros on linkedin, would change on it. But this is what AI should be used for. mundane project management style tasks. let your devs do dev work, let your upper management continue to do nothing and reap the rewards, and get rid of the yes men/women in the middle. THAT’s when you’ll see the shift.

JS is pretty easy to learn and there are SO many resources out there that will allow you pick it up easily so why not? Plus as someone who has been a web dev for decades now HTML, CSS, and JS are very valuable to learn. CSS especially as even many none web based stuff in the FOSS community utilize it for config customization. All of which is very easy to learn and then it opens you up for stuff outside of game dev like web development and webapp development.

pretty much every fandom. Doctor Who fans turned me off watching it (the ones on reddit by far being the worst). Star Trek fans are even the same with stuff like Starfleet Academy.

It’s to the point now where if I like something I don’t even talk about it online. except for 40K. that fanbase is hilarious.

TPS: “just leave the keys to your home in front of your door!”

remember kids if you see someone stealing food from sobeys, loblaws, zhers, longos, shoppers drug mart, any of these places then no the fuck you didn’t.

yes it does. i’m using it right now.

doesn’t look like you actually pilot it, just kinda sit in it and let it do it’s own thing.

which you can get on any Chromium based browser, brave is nothing special in that regard. you can have functioning adblock with Vivaldi also.

yeah it’s strange but that’s why I couldn’t get into it. I love reading books, I’m always reading something. But when I play games I want to play, I don’t want to read a book and so I just couldn’t get into Disco Elysium. I wanted to, i really did, and I’ve tried several times now but I’d rather lay on a couch and read a book, not sit at my desk and read one.

I’m gonna play it again. Thanks for reminding me. It’s been decades since I last beat it so I don’t remember any of the answers to the puzzles. I can go into fresh.

this has to be hollywoods longest trend, no? We’ve been having 80s/90s stuff since like the early 00s. I mean hell they just released Mortal Kombat II last weekend. and they’ve been consistently making Transformers movies since 2006.

I mean Timmies is pretty much all sugar and stale food also. For whatever reason you order a double double and they decide to give you a wayne gretzky. you eat like 10 timbits and you need to lay down and let your stomach recover from the dumpster balls you just fed it.

Now if DD can provide the same crap quality at cheaper prices it might do well but then we already have coffee time so…

This is going to work just about as well as Target did. Unless their coffee is cheaper than Tim Hortons AND McDonalds it’s not gonna work. I can get an extra large double double at McD’s for $2. at Tims it’s like 50cents more. So Dunkin is gonna have to have an extra large coffee for less than $2 to be a success here. And it’s not like it has to taste good, I mean hell Tims is just mud in a cup that may or may not get stirred, it just has to be cheap.

It is. I don’t know if you do any development or simply write code as a hobby but you get a sort of dopamine hit when something you’re working on actually works. like a bug or something that’s been dogging you for days and suddenly you figure it out. it feels good. I can’t remember the quote but Linus Torvald said something similar. it’s a good feeling.

Now imagine you get that constantly, consistently, again and again because you strictly use an AI agent. that’s what these tech bros are getting. The problem is unlike actual devs they’re getting that hit because it essentially “works on my machine” as really that’s all the AI turns out. Something that surface level functions. So they’re addicted to it. “oh man that was so fast and easy, lets build something else!” over and over again.

The problem then becomes they’ll run out of ideas or things to build and will naturally have to start trying to maintain what the AI built utilizing the same AI. Annnnnd if you’ve had any experience with these agents you know “that’s where the fun starts” those dopamine hits are going to vanish very quickly. Now these people are “chasing the dragon” so to speak. AI doesn’t know it was the one that built the thing. I’ve seen it first hand with my clients vibe coders when I’ve asked them to go back into something that was built and have the AI start fixing bugs that I’ve found in my review. the vibe coder panics, it doesn’t understand what the agent is telling them, the agent believes the vibe coder built this thing. suddenly it’s not fun anymore. suddenly it’s not churning out semi-working results. suddenly things are breaking.

This is the one aspect NONE of these companies or tech bros or vibe coders like to talk about it. Haven’t you wondered why you rarely read stories of them sending their AI agents back into the thing its built to scale it or fix something? it never turns out well.

So it is an addiction. And they’re all collectively chasing the dragon. But eventually they stop getting their hits and will crash out.

or you can literally just do what is it? something+tab? and it just goes to town without the need for you to confirm anything.

I mean it’s gonna turn out slop that won’t scale and be full of exploits anyways regardless if you auto confirm or not. then just rig it up to ping your phone when it’s done…oh who am I kidding these dudes wouldn’t know how to do that.

he’s a self confessed prepper and his sister alleged that he sexually assaulted her when she was 3 years old. so he’s potentially a pedo as well.

no point. there are much better places in the world and hell even in Canada itself to vacation. I’m not going to travel to a Nazi country and risk being detained at the border cause I want to save $50 on something.

a couple of my parents friends are snowbirds, they all sold their properties in Florida.

really depends and you really gotta research if it’s even going to be worth your time. there’s a site where you can check if your chromebook will work and how difficult it will be: https://docs.chrultrabook.com/

some you have to physically open up and mess with like a screw or two. some use other methods. that site will tell you specifically what you have to physically do to get it working.

Then you have to take into consideration the SSD you have on your chromebook. like will it even have enough space to do anything worthwhile. I put linux on a chromebook and honestly all it’s good for is opening some terminals to do some basic things and maybe stream stuff online. that’s it. And it can be a struggle to get linux installed so again is it worth your time to have something that could potentially be a glorified terminal station? up to you. Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun hobby project but that’s about it.
