lol, it’s alright, it’s cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

I mean I think I understand the argument for your distinction. I don’t play either games, I just watched VFX artists reaction and saw Snoop Dogg in it so I was wondering why it’s such a big deal with Tencent. As he does seem to “dance” in CoD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhPvXhXoUM.

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I’m not trying to have a “dishonest discussion”, I genuinely don’t understand the distinction and there isn’t really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

Thanks for your reply on it though it does clarify a bit more to me.

Isn’t he already in Call of Duty?

Cat was the person’s name, come on now.

I mean, if I was gonna drown, I wouldn’t mind hooking up beforehand. Just saying.

try clearing your cookies or whatever on whatever browser and sign in page for that, I need to do that every now and again and I lose my shit every time.

I’m not getting it but those gaming chairs look like racing car chairs. I didn’t think those seats were particularly comfortable either because I thought they kept you in place when things you’re zipping around?

This is a beautiful representation of enlightened centrism.

Oh no they listened, haven’t met anyone that didn’t.

I don’t think they typically want to have a convo? But I can’t say.

lol, I also stay away from asking people that look like they’ll cause me trouble. I could try being extra polite, but I have a very “I-can-whoop-this-kid”-kinda face, lol.

typically they listen and just stay on their phone afterwards

it always gets my blood pressure high after the rest of the ride though :/ and I keep replaying what I said

It takes me a while to see how enraged I get with it. I always have to wonder if I can take a punch from that person.

I once joked, “hey that’s pretty loud isn’t it?” And instead of them taking the hint, they were startled and were like, what’s going on? and I instead I just go, “excuse me, could you turn that down?” now. Direct approach is better.

I don’t know if I’d trust any of the text around it until we see more … the picture doesn’t seem like it matches at all.

I mean, you can downvote me but the text seems utterly ridiculous. If it’s real then you guys are right, but it certainly doesn’t seem like a believable story.

I don’t think we could have made the progress with smoking in the US now like we did back then. Would have turned into a partisan issue about freedoms and all that.

There’s something really satisfying about running a script that you know would save time. Even if the overall time is probably a negative.

I wrote a script that would log me into our AWS EKS stuff. I typically would have to copy these 7 lines and look up which cluster version I’d need. One of my lines just pulls all the clusters and I use fzf to select the cluster I wanted. Takes away all the pain and makes me feel smug. Love it.

It’s important to BE Agile than DO Agile.

Yeah, but I think apparently the tests that “could” have caught it relied on mocks which basically rendered it useless in those cases.

Nah man, I minify it so it’s one line…

wait how many files am I loading again? wait, 6000? nuts.

I bought a nonstick wok and my friends kept using steel wool and chipping it and I kept freaking out on them about it. I’m like STOP IT, I’d rather it be dirty than this!

They used to make fun of me freaking out about it.

I feel a bit vindicated with my freak outs now.

Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) had a walk and talk vid that was awesome: https://youtu.be/sZDARCBm_gg?si=lYyji5hrXVkSSwr7

There’s an example of a game (in the vid) where they can interrupt the dialogue and have them respond. I think it’s Bionic Commando remake and I think that’s a nice touch.
