'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers'

Jump

  • I wish they didn't feel this pressure to push forward the industry with EP3. Full Half Life 3, maybe, but I would have preferred a closing chapter with the tech and features available.

    • There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation

  • Gods do I miss social distance lines

    • The Resistance Is Not Coming to Save You. It’s Tuning Out.

  • Yeaah, but they have a similar response whenever they learn a unisex bathroom opened in an airport. It's entirely unsurprising people lacking two braincells to rub together would look to billionaires to call for an "uprising".

  • Sorry, who's looking to corporate media for "the resistance" ? Seems like a terribly stupid metric to judge this.

  • Optimistic that they'll "only" cut narcan funding, yeah... it's bleak.

  • That's optimistic, I'm anticipating systematic execution of drug users. Republicans have praised Duterte's policies in the past.

  • WebStorm and Rider will have community versions soon, they are going to eat VS Code's lunch.

  • We definitely have plans, big plans. Big massive contingency plans. Well, I can't really describe them right now, because they're so big. It's really more like concepts, but check back in 2 weeks.

  • Ah, actually using Outlook like a normal user.

    Ha, right? I'm keeping my fingers crossed there is some executive at MS raging and it will get resolved before they force everyone off the legacy version. Surely there are people inside their organization with tons more traffic than I see.

  • They're doing their best to "improve" excel too... I can't understand how their AI generated cell fill is worse than the old approach.

    • Microsoft Teams is dog shit

    Jump

  • I've been told the extended time to open is related to how big the outlook database is, I average 200 emails received a day with various alerts and notifications from internal tools and it cripples new outlook in about a week if I'm not diligent with keeping folders cleaned out/emails deleted. This volume wasn't a issue before I switched.

    • Microsoft Teams is dog shit

    Jump

  • The new outlook has exceeded "garbage" and gone all the way to dumpster fire. It sometimes takes upwards of 15, 30 seconds to open an email. The new auto formatting is a hindrance to be overcome by tricking it to act how you want. Trying to schedule an event across timezones shits the bed half the time, resulting in improper meeting times being sent out. Absolute failure.

  • I've never been against self defense personally, but never felt I needed one previously.

  • Feeling depressed, trapped, and abandoned. Going through the motions, trying to come to terms that I won't be a dad because the wife doesn't want to risk a pregnancy under the conditions, and I won't be a homeowner because no ones coming to help build houses or stop corporate real estate. Accepting I won't be starting a business because I can't risk losing healthcare, and will need every dollar I can hang on to. Settling for serfdom. You know, usual shit.

    How are you.

    • Is it expected to tip for furniture deliveries?

    Jump

  • As someone who said "hell no" earlier in the thread, asking for four stories with a fridge is an entirely appropriate situation to tip.

    Check your delivery contracts, they'll usually specify ground delivery or one floor only. Four is very much above and beyond, and worth the bribe if they'll agree to it.

  • In US and Hell no. I paid for the furniture, I paid for the delivery. My side is done.
