As a long time Bethesda game fan I agree with you on almost everything you've said about Bethesda... But the remaster is a terrible example of your points.

The remaster does exactly what it says on the tin and they've been very upfront about how it was made and why it was made in the launch video.

It's hard to criticise them for cashing in on nostalgia when they've shown time and time again with Skyrim re-releases that do a fraction of what the Oblivion remaster does still sell like hot cakes.

Nostalgia is at the core of their business model. That's why they march Skyrim's corpse out every two years like clockwork; that's why they picked Fallout for a new franchise after ES; that's, frankly, likely why Starfield sucks so much.

I noticed that Arduino are using it for the 2.0 of their IDE. I guess a big part of the benefit here is providing a workbench base for different types of IDE with different goals, similarly to Eclipse.

Not a million miles away from VSC's extension model but it allows deeper customisation which is fantastic for embedded hardware and software houses that need that deep integration without dealing with vendor lock in.

This is exactly what they did to me and it's very apparent that they're not capable of meaningful discourse beyond childish heel digging.

Honestly, you leave Reddit to get away from this paper thin sports-team politics nonsense and yet here we are feeding the parrots.

It's depressing.

Is 51 not a self tapper? Limited experience but it's got that helter skelter look to it

Sure you are buddy.

You have nice day.

First, no it hasn't. No-one would say "have the day you voted for" to someone who didn't vote as it's a ridiculous non sequitur.

Second, I didn't do any of those things. You still not walking it back? Sticking to your guns when you're dead wrong?

Hilarious question to ask at dinner parties with the right kind of crowd. It's incredible watching people find out that their spouse stands.

Also, standers: represent!

Then what is the point of you quipping a line that has been almost universally targeted at Trump voters to me?

As walkbacks go, this is particularly cringe.

I didn't vote for fascism as you're snidely implying. You know what they say about faulty conclusions.

Waits until the guillotine is half way through the neck

Bro pls bro we have to stop this bro

The comment I replied to said "at work", not "while working"

Sure people have breaks, lunches ... It's not unusual to read news or social media during these times.

Iron and Wine do another great cover of this song

Is this the end of the metaverse?

I mean, it was DOA so I guess my question is more: is this Zuckerberg acknowledging that the metaverse is dead, finally?

Else it gets the cord again

There's a reveal trailer and a launch trailer for Clair Obscura that give very different perspectives on the plot, well worth watching both.

Obligatory: thanks for all the daily posts!

Oh I wasn't implying you were! My ire is directed entirely at RM for their mismanagement.

Someone defined the process at some point though, and often it's documented. I've worked at several banks and large financial institutions and have had plenty of people tell me "I don't know how X works" but never "Nobody knows how X works".

I currently work at a bank and I'm yet to encounter anything that someone couldn't at least send me documentation for, however apocryphal.

The problem here is that it's fairly clear that the post office allowed Fujitsu to both define and implement the processes such that they are not compelled to provide the blueprint for them as part of the contract and they are now held to ransom over it.

This is the kind of colossal fuck up that heads should roll for, no less so as it is happening in the shadow of one of the biggest corruption scandals in British history.

Crucial code doesn't exist, all code is disposable mess that tries to mimic a real world process; and it sounds like the post office fucked up by not even knowing how their own processes work in practice.

Their best option here would be to revert to pen and paper until they figure out how the hell they actually make money.

In the meantime, fire the board and exec team for not meeting their most basic fiduciary duties.
