Oh, get off this dead horse, will ya. Like anything else cannot do this, only capitalism can

Yeah, good luck reading 20+ pages of interlinked rules of what is what, what does what and in what order, then comparing that to how system behaves after your changes

Lol just kidding. No business rules are harder than five lines of text

My hero in shining armour (not a sarcasm, just a form of appreciation of someone who did what I would never have done)

Fuck. Sorry to hear. Though that means all this ai bullshit won't drown you, since you are after actual knowledge and skill. And if this makes any difference, I for one wish your life to be as sparing as it can possibly get

Hey there. Of course, I am in no position to say "do this, and it will be all right", but I will say that if there is any other way to live that won't put this kind of load on you - do it. You being happier is way way more needed in this world than you getting those certificates

Obligatory: so... not everyone is welcome there. Roger that

Yeah... The abstract (sorry, will read article a bit later) is bunch of nonsense to me (in respect to what is written, no offense to you):

• online experience commercially viable? The fuck they are talking about? Yeah, I know what is meant, but they would get fucking F in school for expressing thoughts in such a nonsensical way

• protections against illegal content would not exist on private servers? Really? Like only your company's servers can run that? What, you write them in machine code directly? Or is it all done manually? Anyhow, just release source code and it will be up to community to find a way to make it run

Developer choice, ha-ha, very funny. I am not familiar with the industry and still feel safe to bet most of them (edit: actual software developers making games) just want to get enough money for doing what they can do without too much stress/disgust and also most of them don't have a desire to see their work die just because some manager decided it is time to make some other games instead

Well... for one, empathy tells me that whoever ends up there after having voted for this, this is ok. Sute, it is cruel, now how about empathy for those people who did not want this and will still end up there? How about empathy to people who happened to be around those idiots who wanted this and got shitload of crappy attitude and worse from them? Or does anyone think for those millions supporting these atrocities - this very support is the only ugly thing they ever did and ever will do?

Yeah, I just knew Blizzard had to be on the list

The studio has done a great job. You most certainly have heard it already, but I am willing to say it again: the game is worth playing with whatever quality you can afford, save stutter-level low fps - the story is so touching it outplays graphics completely (though I do share the desire to play it on ultra settings - will do one day myself)

I wonder if I will still be alive when this whole "security" bullshit finally implodes
