Oh absolutely, I’m not denying any of that. But Stack Overflow is also filled with incredibly snarky people, whose feedback is less than productive. That’s why I understand many beginners preferring LLMs over SO. Calling out bad practices is a good thing, but it doesn’t mean people should be straight up rude.
I had to google what XKCD is so I have absolutely no idea whatsoever lmao
Not surprising. Not only is it easier to ask stuff from AI chat bots, the responses on SO can often be so condescending and outright mean that it further drives people to ask questions from the yesmanning LLMs.
This Watkins person sounds like the kind of person who’s just so bad at every game she now wants to ruin everyone else’s fun. It’s a known fact games of all kinds can be good for you in different ways, and having a playful side is often seen as a green flag in most adults too.
Thank you for the response! I did read the other comments your post has received too. While it’s fair to assume an account that solely post one specific agenda is a bot or whatever, your specific described situation also makes a lot of sense. Not only that, your responses in the comments are very civil and informative, which I do appreciate. I do hope WMF gets their shit together. A lot of people rely on them.
Oh I absolutely should start reading usernames here. Didn’t notice that…
That was a very interesting read. I hope we get some follow-up on this, and maybe other such reports as well. It does sound highly problematic, and like a very toxic work environment.
Most key talent left or was forced out years ago. Ubisoft execs are fucking clueless.
I hope they stay open mindeu
Milk that company for all it’s worth. I love it.
A lot of awful AI art
We already have a pretty good LotR MMORPG. Sure it’s dated but works fine imo
My top two are Dota 2 (1520h) and CS 2 (800h), but since I have quit competitive games, I’ll mention the third place: I have 598 hours on Fallout 4.
Back in my day console prices went down with time…
Wrong place to post this.
Minecraft, The Sims and Minesweeper. Minecraft specifically on Peaceful Creative settings so the kids can do creative stuff without scary monsters. Trine Enchanted Edition could also work, but with parental supervision.
Guess pirating for personal use is on the table now, boys!
No beatings happened in 1989 at Tiananmen square, I hear /s
I’d recommend checking out the Far Cry games, from Far Cry 2 onwards.
Also, while not necessarily exactly the thing you’re looking for, the Sniper Ghost Warrior series offers a lot of good stuff. especially SGW3 and later are really fun and have pretty decent gunplay and the games can be played pretty nicely without focusing on the sniper aspect.
And if you feel like doing even more snipering, Sniper Elite gives you some NICE slow-mo X-ray closeups of your bullets destroying your enemies, but the gunplay besides Snipers isn’t that fun.
This is actually insane. There are so many other platforms that should take priority in “child protection” before Vinted and eBay.
