    When Kojima announced Death Stranding 2, he joked about rewriting the entire thing after the pandemic because he was trying to avoid predicting the future again. The guy has some k…

    So this isn't replacing the main implementation? They just funded a new project written in Rust that is compatible?

    I love fish. Switch from ZSH+Prezto to just plain Fish and I'm not missing anything and it's way faster. All the servers have bash and I still write bash scripts, but for day-to-da…

    Super Mario is also a kids game and those games run flawlessly with nice graphics and innovative gameplay. Kids like to play good games too.

    Don't you just level up as high as possible in bioware or bethesda games? Not what I would consider "minmaxing". Skyrim is fun because I can get everything to 100 at whatever pace …

    As a lifelong rubyist, this is definitely what I would say "useless". Maybe it's just because I've been stuck in Ruby 2.6 ~~hell~~ land for so long but I remember seeing a colleagu…

    Minmaxing in almost any game is excruciatingly unfun though, it's not unique to Pokemon. I can't think of a faster way to kill the enjoyment of any game than to try to minmax.

    Another christmas approaching, another depressing realization that I'll probably be stuck on ruby 2.6.9 and Rails 5 until I change companies.
