Some people can benefit from staying silent, fixing things up, and then turning up with results.

Turns out letters were like tweets back then lol

People are still pasting stuff? I thought by now agentic coding or AI in editors would be a norm.

I can say 90% of PRs in my company clearly look or declared to be AI generated because of how random things that still slip by in the commits, so maybe he’s not wrong. In fact people are looked down upon if they aren’t using AI and are celebrated for figuring out how to effectively make AI do the job right. But I can’t say if that’s the case for other companies.

Curious: do the webapps of Office not suffice?

Wow I never really paid attention to new Wolfenstein games but they look much more than just standard fps shooter.

Go ahead, ban it, see what that leads to then.

It’ll be interesting to see them shut a 66B USA industry.

So premature optimization is the root of all fpses?

Every year new people enter the appropriate age to buy these games is the only explanation I can come up with.

Alt history

Like always, Black Mirror has an episode on this.

Dead Space 3 after playing the first two. It starts off as a Gears of War game until a very cool space Uncharted moment. I know it’s the weakest one but going in knowing that makes it easier to enjoy it.

Let’s see how this pans out.

Just finished Dead Space remake and have begun playing Dead Space 2. The remake is really phenomenal. It’s proper horror, with amazing ambient sounds that keep you on your toes, and clever ammo system that kept me switching to weapons that I didn’t care about. The metroidvania touch is a great change from the original, making revisiting older sections rewarding as you progressed in the game.

DS2 on the other hand feels pretty life less after playing the remake. I’m aware it’s a well regarded sequel, but it’s much less scary and almost a different genre of a game. I think I’m half way through and I don’t think I’m able to immerse much into it. It’s probably a great game from its era and seems less exciting in front of the remake.

So now the company will have ~100m extra revenue in the next 3 months? Right? Right?

Classic case of how unrestricted money and a hotch potch of talent doesn’t make a studio. It needs to have strong leadership, vision and some constraints.

Microsoft will never learn that throwing money at the problem isn’t ever the solution.
