Voyager is getting an iOS native version. There’s a TestFlight version out right now, it’s really neat. Definitely scratches that Apollo itch.

It’s a reference to the game Baba is You, which allows you to manipulate the rules of the game by moving blocks around to form sentences like “Wall is win” or “Tree is you.” In the picture, someone tries to make a move switching “Baba is You” to “Baba is Win.” This makes touching Baba (the usual player character) the win condition, but it also means you’re no longer controlling Baba so there’s no way to actually move your character to the win condition. I hope that makes sense, if it doesn’t you can look up some gameplay on YT or something. It’s kinda tricky to explain in words.

I love funny pho restaurant names. There’s one near my office called Pho Khang. Their food’s pretty good too which is just the cherry on top.

Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.

There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.

I picked Driller initially and stuck with it. Progression felt good. Once I got a promotion I tried out other classes, and slowly made them to promotion level. I think the main thing you’re missing though is that DRG isn’t really meant to be a game based around progression. Unlocking new weapons and overclocks helps, sure, but most of DRG’s progression to me is learning how to manage your resources effectively and mastering how to take down different kinds of bugs. Also, make sure you’re doing assignments! Otherwise, you’re not actually progressing beyond leveling up, and so progress will feel glacial.

It’s Deep Rock Galactic, which is actually a really solid game. People just keep turning it into “Deep Cock Galactic” lmao

I think the confusion here stems from the fact that with historical slavery like the transatlantic slave trade, both slaves and slave owners are long dead. So the only parts of that slavery that still affect living people are the longer-lasting cultural effects, such as racial inequality.

Personally, I think we should probably be addressing those cultural effects, and that seems to generally be what these “reparations” are about? But I do agree that modern slavery is something that really needs to be addressed as well, and living slaves absolutely deserve reparations from their slavers.

I feel called out by it on a personal level

Not sure I trust ISPs with this technology. I would say I’d rather just stop using the internet but seeing as I’m a software engineer that’s absolutely not possible :/

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.

Is the dude on the left the same guy from “A dubious little creature getting up to mischief, this is no good”? Kinda looks like it to me.

Man, this is the thing that really gets me about agile software development. Finish all the work in the sprint? Good job, pick up more work from the backlog and we’ll give you an even bigger sprint next time. Falling behind? Mandatory overtime and a disappointed manager.

End result of it all is that you’re encouraged to do lazy work and pad out your time so that you don’t get assigned increasingly immense workloads and get burnt out. For a job where quality should be measured by how well a job was done, it’s instead measured by how much work was done - and that’s a huge problem.
