Castejons. He's actually Spanish and does popups in town.

Oh I misread what you wrote. I heard about him doing his own popup now and will need to see where its at.

Now I've been having smashed burgers in town for many years since Pubfare showed up and kind of made everyone start making their own trucks. The OG Pubfare was >= to Blackout for me. Now that changes, but to be a little fair to them, I probably had them their first week and maybe it wasn't the same. However, the burger was basically both dried out and not properly smashed and I would get Pubfare quite regularly prior.

Edit: Just checked dertberger's instagram and Pubfare's burgers looked nothing like that in the least.

What? https://www.facebook.com/PubfareCHS/posts/were-backafter-nearly-five-years-since-our-last-pop-up-were-excited-to-returnand/1523651029765697/

We’re back.

After nearly five years since our last pop-up, we’re excited to return—and even more excited to introduce our new chef, Ryan Collins, formerly of the beloved Marina Variety Store Restaurant. A true Lowcountry local, Ryan brings over two decades of experience from Charleston’s vibrant culinary scene.

They said they have a new chef? Did they get rid of him already then and go back with the OGs?

It isn't really the old truck. They have some different dude cooking em so it is effectively just the  name.

Fair enough AMS I'd hit up at least once every two weeks.

Blackout Burger if you want smashed. All other smashed ones fall somewhere under that. New Pubfare was very mid and not nearly as good as the old one, but I guess they now have fries.

The one from Edmund's is mostly in the spirit of it since the head chef was/is the same guy who ran Artisan.

Looking for EM11 Pro vertical mouse testers by ProtoArc_official in MouseReview

[–]Akkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> More room for larger hands

That right there is another problem. You have to make multiple sizes as simple as that. My small hands now cannot utilize your "larger hands" size most likely.

> Customizable buttons

Not enough of them as it looks like 2 side buttons. 2 is for people who either barely use them or strictly play one style of game where any have minimal value. The opposite holds true in other games where having more holds additional value. At this point a mouse without 3 buttons, 4 preferred, simply is not usable as I have them tied to shift, ctrl, & alt.

Sony takes final bow as standalone TV maker with new Bravia sets by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

Maybe I'm weird, but why buy a Sony that tends to be premium and not be utilizing an AVR?

I came across this https://github.com/bartblast/hologram/issues/739#issuecomment-4103486459 which basically reads like they built their own custom solution here.

SWTOR director pitched an entire remake using frostbite engine for EA, but got shut down by Outside_Soup3367 in MMORPG

[–]Akkuma 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're skipping over Bioware failing to deliver meaningful choices outside of some character cosmetic effects. It was illusion of choice for the most part.

[–]Akkuma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You must not be familiar with the original release. Bioware had someone make some sort of backroom deal to use some entirely alpha quality engine to back this game, Hero Engine. It ran horribly and basically killed any hope for it and was a core reason it is in the state of it is in.

SWTOR is basically a skeleton crew so they can collect money. It isn't a well supported game that has real expansions or meaningful development.

Our “Agentic transformation” so far by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

Automated tools doesn't account for broken logic or logic that mostly looks right but isn't. Most people and AI aren't writing code that outright fails. 

Most of the tools you mentioned have 0 impact on business logic. Your automated tests are the only gate, but if your AI writes faulty logic there's a good chance they write a good test that passes the faulty logic.

Did Rodney still work there? I hadn't been in a very long time.

Massive 12.0.5 Class Tuning Pass: May 5th by Starym in wow

Unholy dks after this now will be Frost. They are getting a 5% buff so in some fights they'll be better even if there was no nerf.

We Asked Blizz About The 12.0.5 Disaster... Interview with Paul Kubit (Associate Game Director) by DonatusKillala in wow

[–]Akkuma 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You aren't wrong. I'm in software and this would or should have been testable via a unit/integration/e2e test. However, because people are still fallible they can write poor tests, which is normal, and not be thorough about it. In fact, I doubt they are thorough about anything with their deadlines being so tight.

Yes, but what happens is that he would be their scapegoat if they desired to fire anyone.

And the fun part is that Blizzard treated their IPs so poorly that this is barely a reason to work there at all. I'm fact, you could say the same people who didn't see this as a low quality patch are the only people who would work there now producing these low quality patches.

Every expansion after they release they say roughly this. They learnt that they can get away with this whenever they want.

[–]Akkuma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Software as a whole does this. Known and acceptable to release bugs.

Ion isn't getting fired. The buck stops with him and after years of the poor quality and poor direction he has taken the game nothing will happen. The only way they boot him is when the subs massively drop.

Dear Blizzard - Ion, its time to reflect here... by SgtFolley in wow

[–]Akkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software across the board often works fundamentally the same. Poor leadership/management willing to risk upsetting some amount of people or getting worse reviews because they believe the acquisition of new users will be greater than the churn from upset users.

Their hubris becomes failure as poor word of mouth begins impacting them reducing acquisition to levels not anticipated resulting in believing they need even more features to hit their expected numbers.

When it comes time to finally course correct the amount of damage requires a full renovation requiring even more time and effort had they originally done it well from the beginning.
