PC Gamer also hijacks your back button to show you suggested content when you try to leave. Trash website.

A thousand puzzles??? Man, I am too stupid for a game like this.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

Companies using "Got It" to dismiss their invasive popups makes me so irrationally angry.

"Frank feedback" is a diplomatic way of putting it.

In the start of my career I felt that there was a sentiment around web dev that it's not "real" programming in a way. Not sure if that's the case any more seeing as the majority of modern develoment is for web platforms.

I've never heard the idea that PHP is a language used by web designers who migrated to coding, but it kind of makes sense. How PHP works, where everything is just HTML until the <?php tag comes in, made it so attractive as a way to add some spice to static pages. I cut my teeth on PHP and moved on to other languages later, so it makes sense that it would function as a gateway drug of sorts, also resulting in it not getting the attention from seasoned experts that other languages benefit from.

Calling dislike of PHP misogynistic feels like a massive stretch.. but maybe it's not considering how the designer/programmer divide also has a massive gender disparity. PHP has its problems, tooling being just one side of it, and its nature as a designer-friendly language makes it easy for elitists to mask their bigotry behind "objective" arguments that PHP is bad.

I've tried playing this game multiple times, but just got bored too quickly. The characters are all unlikeable in their own way and the game often goes out of its way to create conflict between them so you have to pick a side and gain/lose relationship points with the respective party member.

Look at the profile pictures.

It's relevant enough for PC Gamer to be writing about it, so someone must've been asking.

This "dead genre" has been steadily receiving games the whole time it's been out of the zeitgeist. And it's popular enough that they were willing to remake one of the greats as well as its sequel. Things aren't dead just because you personally don't like it.

Jim Curry, a writer and marketing manager on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and the Gex series...

What a legacy to leave behind! I hope he was aware of the resurgent interest in the Legacy of Kain universe before he died.

Been waiting for a sale on this. Thank you!

Have you found a viable alternative? I like how Kagi takes my money instead of showing me ads and lets me filter out domains.

 

When I open a post I get an "unknown" error. This happens on every post, no matter what community/instance, whether it has attachments/comments/etc. Not sure how to debug it.

 

I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

 

As someone who is curious about Zig, I genuinely appreciate seeing articles where real code is described.
