Surely this is better than the crypto/NFT tech fad. At least there is some output from the generative AI that could be beneficial to the whole of humankind rather than lining a few people's pockets?

Removed double quotes, added single quotes

I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren't relevant to my taste. I don't think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.

I decided to give the gold place breaking video a watch and although these people are skilled, I just don't quite get the "this is the current peak of human physical fitness/skill" that we see from other sports. Diving, Rowing, BMXing, even synchronised swimming were all really impressive. I wonder if Breaking will make a return?

I was absolutely excited for Black and White when I was younger. In school we had to write an article for English class and I chose to write about Black and White's upcoming release. I got a good mark from it and my English teacher was equally intrigued.

The game came out and I sunk a good amount of hours into it. Was it the best game? No of course not, but it gave me great memories. I don't think I'll ever go back and play it again as it won't live up to the nostalgia, but it would be interesting if someone attempted to tackle this kind of genre again.

You'll have to ask the company that eventually buys them out!

I can see the writer's point with regard to Encarta being a much more interactive experience that you don't get with the likes of Wikipedia, but you're right, it's not that unfortunate that knowledge is being shared by Wikipedia for free

Unfortunately it excludes a great deal of gen x and millennials as well who may have voted remain.

It looks like a VR tech demo that they decided to change into a non-vr game.

If it were me I would add a giant creature into it that has a personality depending on how I and the villagers treat it. Maybe change the name to something that rhymes with "Back and Kite" and slap a number on it, the number 3 feels right for some reason.

No one has mentioned it from what I can see but I highly recommend the courses provided by https://www.mooc.fi/en/. It's the university of Helsinki and it's completely free. They offer both Java and Python courses. I believe they have an introduction to programming course that is done in Python.

Definitely chippy chips with battered fish.

If anyone genuinely feels this way and wants to get started in coding, I highly recommend doing one of the mooc.fi courses. Codecademy is fine as a taster/refresh but don't waste money on the premium when something like mooc is available for free.

Now I need to know what it is. My first thought would be Spotted Dick, but then Dick is a name. Maybe Pork removeds? That one I can understand being removed.

I'd also recommend disabling Normandy in Firefox.

I think one of the great things about the WAR collectors edition was that you got some excellent merch with it. You got a metal figure (worth around £40 these days), a really good art book, a mousepad (I used mine for many years) and a graphic novel. Sure the MMO was a failure largely in part because EA acquired Mythic and forced the game out the door, but the collectors edition was well worth its price for people that love Warhammer.

The cost Blizzard are charging for a game with digital assets that cost nothing to duplicate is genuinely awful.

What annoys me is you still have to pay for audio books.

This gave big uncanny valley vibes. I imagine it was meant to feel like a magical advert, but instead it felt creepy.

Charge people to go ad-free. Keep increasing the sub price over time, then provide a lower cost version with minimal ads.

And an entire hospital in Stevenage, England.

I'm a junior dev that has been on the job for ~6 months. I found AI to be useful for learning when I had to make an application in Swift and had zero experience of the language. It presented me with some turd responses, but from this it gave me the idea of what to try and what to look into to find answers.

I find that sometimes AI can present a concept to me in a way I can understand, where blogs can fail. I'm not worried about AI right now, it's a tool to make our jobs easier!

What's the most common type of owl in the UK?

The Teat-owl

::: spoiler spoiler When the leader of the rebellion died in the attempted heroic scene and everyone was distraught and shocked, I was just think "Why do I care? He's said a couple of lines and been on screen for about 5 minutes.." :::

Ah yes, I understand why they remove it as I don't think it's often used in its other contexts. I do prefer to use it to describe a bundle of sticks

I've got access to the game on steam, the game feels very alpha stage at the moment. There's already a good roster of characters to choose from and the style is interesting.

It's likely A/B Testing and when people receive the new layout, if Youtube sees a drop in engagement for their experiment they may just ditch it.

Given the state the last government was run by Tories, I hope it will be a long time before we see them get into power again.

It sucks. A lot of businesses, not just in game development, are getting rid of contractors as they're expensive. I hope those contractors successfully find work soon.

I really enjoyed Travelers, although I'm glad they were able to end it as they did.

A friend of mine was really eager to play this together in co-op so I picked it up. Day 1 I remember shooting a zombie ghoul creature, as I shot it, it merged into the ground and became invulnerable. This happened in a couple of places and everything felt janky. I think F76 was the point where I decided to stop doing day 1 purchases/pre orders. Never played it since, so no idea how much it's improved, either way Bethesda got my money 💰

I tend to watch Clemmy Games to see what indie games are coming up. There are a lot of duds, but then you come across a diamond in the rough. Clemmy does a great job for me, releasing videos almost every day and I would recommend giving the channel a go!

Huge Eurovision vibes from this, have watched it probably 15+ times since it came about.

"It's the anxiety associated with real-time conversations, potential awkwardness, not having the answers and the pressure to respond immediately" - this hits the nail on the head for me about not wanting to be on the phone/teams call in the work place. Being pulled into a call with no context is my biggest nightmare.

Honestly at this moment it's the style they are going for. It's difficult to describe, it's kind of old timey tech noir. The base gameplay feels very similar to SMITE.

I'm still in those early cautiously optimistic stage where I hope I can make a positive change that will help those who come after me. How long does it take for the pessimism to set in? 😂

Set it to UK if that link isn't working for you

Thanks for this. As part of onboarding I have been trying to update where I can. There are times I wonder if I am adding to docs what others may perceive as fluff as it may be something obvious to them. I like to work with a "If we're all on a bus that goes over a cliff, does someone new have everything they need?" mentality.

At present the team is using GitHub Pages, which almost feels like a hurdle itself in updating the documentation quickly and keeping it organised and consistent. Being a junior I personally prefer a WYSIWYG. From your experience is there any pros/cons in using a WYSIWYG vs Markdown?

It would be cool if it included other names for things. E.g. Kubernetes can also be known as K8s. Also not too mobile friendly when looking at more info. Besides that it is an interesting concept!
