As a non European working for a European company, it is an interesting experience with non work times. The laws around working more than 8 hours a day are incredibly strict, and the company and all the managers will never ask or expect an employee to work more than the 8 hours. Even if you are on call and end up having to work, you have to then take time off during the week to “make up” for the time you worked while on call.

Yet I’ll be on call over a weekend trying to fix a problem at 2am, and my colleagues who aren’t on call just drop in to help because they saw the alert and felt like helping out.

It is like people want to actually positively contribute to the well being of the company when they are able to, because the company doesn’t try to drain every bit of will to live from their employees and respects that they are real people with lives.

You don’t need to hack anything, you can use Binfmt_misc to tell the kernel how to load windows binaries

Yeah but then Pterodactyls bring that number back down again

Imagine the mess trying to torrent using IP over Avian Carriers

Which signals to investors that there is little to no expected growth. If you aren’t attracting new customers to grow your user base, then you only have the option to milk your existing customers to increase revenue.

That may work short term, but long term it signals a death knell for the company, since as the old customers retire or the studios close down, the new crop of game developers would have been trained on or adopted a different engine so aren’t going to switch to Unity. Eventually they just run out of customers.

If it wasn’t for the eBay reference, I would assume we lived in the same country

If you boot to an Ubuntu iso, you can use arch-chroot to set up everything you need correctly. Done this many times when I borked my Arch boot process

What the company likes about the old timer is that because he has been there for 10 years, he will likely be there for the next 10 years to support the complicated system he is creating now. If a younger team member creates something using a modern approach, there is the risk they will leave in a years time and no one knows how the system works.

While watching this there were a few times where I thought “Hey, this actually looks really good”, then I realised that was the RTX off shot. The RTX on shots just didn’t do it for me as much as they did for games like Quake 2.

I think that HL2 just already had great baked lighting that adding ray tracing doesn’t make it feel much different.

This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.

There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won’t work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store

I’m jealous of that download speed. Took me an hour to download and during that time my wife decided we had to go out for dinner. So now I don’t get to play until after work tomorrow 😔

Give Hive Time a go. It has been a while since I played it in its early days but it was a fun bee hive management game.

The author is quite a fan of bees so I imagine he has done them justice.
