I’m online and I don’t really play as many games but I watch reviews and stuff about the gaming community every now and again (I just bought a Steam Frame 🤦 though …). The number of these damned gaming commentators complaining about “woke in games” is exhausting. So you have to see what these guys consider “social topics” and it’ll unsurprisingly show you their (right leaning) world view. By the way, these commentators just forgive death threats online and say things like “it’s all apart of the Internet” but hey … The new Wolverine game isn’t any good because of woke and DEI though.

I remember seeing it in school and having it explained to me so many times and my brain just refuses to understand it.

I saw a clip of Primeagen saying that Casey Muratori said that Pirate’s stuff was fine?
Like, I hate Thor’s stance on SKG for sure. However, I steered largely away from this drama because I think a lot of criticisms feels unrelated. I didn’t see the tantrum but people were going after him quite a lot and if you told him you don’t think he belongs in the industry maybe that’s a reason to throw one?
I generally don’t care. I have a few friends in the industry and they say a lot of the code is shit in general for games – so I don’t particularly care. If Pirate was a guy saying that you need to follow clean code and all that jazz then that’d make sense, I suppose. Which is why I’m on Uncle Bob’s case :P but I’m not jumping on the bandwagon for this one against Thor.

famous YouTuber who reckons that he’s a programming genius
Is that true? I’ve seen a lot of his shorts and he’s always been like: “just make games” – “stop worrying about code quality, some amazing games have shit code”

on Don't paste the AI. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
We were having an urgent issue at work and my coworker said he had a solution and I said what was it and he sent like three paragraphs which I read through and I said, “what the fuck does this even say? did you even read this?” he said, he thought it was a solution and I asked why he bothered to even send it and he said he wanted to send me the “source”. I was like, I don’t have time to deal with the core of this issue but if anyone sends me AI shit without checking it themselves, I’m gonna flip.

on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
Yeah, no jack no thanks …
Not a deal breaker for others but it is for me. Their rationale saying that the USB-C is more resilient than the jack is weird because I’ve never had the jack fail and even if it does isn’t that why you’re selling a repairable phone to me …?
Anyways, I see they’re selling earbuds so I’m going to assume that that’s their main motivator.

he’d let claude do everything and he didn’t actually care how it worked.
😱
I hired someone that recently put up PRs and when I asked what they were for, he had no idea … he hasn’t ran or tested a single one … just vibing everything.
When I saw his Terraform PRs … I was like, “show me how you run this”. I shortly found out he never had Terraform installed and didn’t know how to switch AWS profile at all. He let’s AI do everything. Also, he kept sending me AI convos and I was like, “if you send me another one without reading it first and summarizing it for me, I’m going to lose my shit”. He said, “I wanted to send you the proof” … I said, “you sent me half a page of nonsense where you didn’t respect my time enough to read yourself first”

I much prefer conversational style interviews. I also like having them tell me about shit and then getting into the weeds of what they’ve been through.
I’ve been through so many stupid quizzing type interviews. I remember one where they wanted to ask about covariance and contravariance and I roughly stated I learned about it when writing my own compiler and it’s about types and how one can follow the typing direction of typing, for let’s say parameter/return values and the other can go the other way but I forget which is which typically. The guy was like, “guess which one is which?” I said, “why? it’d just be a guess, I thought I demonstrated that I’m at least familiar with the concepts”, he said, “I can’t mark down you got this question is right unless you get the right answer” … I said, “let’s skip it then”.
Another one was where he asked me if I knew “WPF” which is a Microsoft framework to write desktop apps. I said, “it’s not on my CV, and I’ve only used it at home a few times but you can ask me questions if you’d like”, he then said with a smirk on his face, “if you want to answer the WPF portion, and you get it wrong then you look bad, but if you get it right then you look good, so what do you want to do?”, I said, “I think this is up to you as an interviewer – I’ve told you where I stand”
There was a lot of that … like based on THEIR questions – I don’t know shit … but they’re not quizzing my experience at all.

doesn’t really imply anything except something about the json being turned into a string
yeah that’s basically it, I know you’re leaning into your existing knowledge (of likely C-based stuff) but your line of thinking is about right about how you’re inferring things … naming and stuff gets a bit “different” or less serious when you go into JS land sometimes.
What’s funny is if this were a real job interview question and you answered in the way that you did … the way you answered it told me more about yourself and your qualifications than just getting it exactly right

I refuse to believe you couldn’t infer what this is, you’re way too smart and you could definitely just guess.
“but why are there so many people concerned about getting diversity in an X-Men game?? why can’t it just be fun??”
It’s really annoying because you know none of this is grounded in reality. They think The Wolverine game isn’t any good because they hire someone with a six figure salary to count genders.
