Gabe Newell on why game delays are okay: 'Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.'

  • It's an oversimplification, but first impressions do mean a lot. A lot of people will forever remember No Man's Sky as being a terrible game, even though they did do a lot to fix it later.

    • Tax time

  • I mean it's not really. Lobbying. Lobbying is the reason.

  • In general I agree, but users should be able to make that decision themselves. I do not understand why you can't turn off telemetry, when it would be trivial to offer that option and so few users would bother to use it.

    • New cars are great...

    Jump

  • I'm kind of surprised that car technology is so awful. How the fuck am I paying $35k for a car and they're still like "lets run the UI off a potato via the least responsive touch screen possible"? At some point I'd rather they just gave up on providing a UX themselves and just ran everything through Android Auto.

    • Modern consumer logic

    Jump

  • Yeah, and shopping locally is so hit-and-miss. Some smaller stores are great, but there are also plenty that seem to act like serving you is such a fucking inconvenience. Oh I'm sorry you have to get off your phone because I want to buy something. You have to make change from £10? Sorry it's inconveniencing you that I have to bring fucking cash just because you want to dodge some tax by not taking cards.

    • What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?

    Jump

  • Huh? Is that a new thing? Last time I used Windows I could and did just turn off real-time protection in the UI.

    Granted, it's annoying how you can't actually just uninstall it, but I'm pretty sure you can turn it off.

    • Google is charging its employees $99 a night to stay at its on-campus hotel to help "transition to the hybrid workplace."

    Jump

  • Whilst it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was the case, I've seen similar things at other companies, it's a completely brain-dead strategy. The people who leave are the most qualified and capable employees who can easily find a job elsewhere and you're just left with all the people who the company swept up in the boom period where they were hiring anyone with a pulse.

  • Yeah, that seems like it would be a problem for a bunch of sites. Anything with rich text like Google Docs or somewhere you paste images to upload them seems like it could be broken by disabling all clipboard events.
