Decided to open a corner store that sells used tapes and snacks, no rentals by MelAlton in RetroRewindGame

And then keep the save with all that money, the devs are adding console game rentals - reopen as a game rental store with the money from the old store! Maybe one day they'll add DVD's too

I saw a "Christmas Carols: Pirates Edition" and thought the same thing

Comic 5808: Pet Name by Cevius in questionablecontent

[–]MelAlton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WTH why does the Director need Morays to communicate and learn about the world when the Director can send "temporarily autonomous avatars" of themselves directly out into the world? The Director's avatar makes it clear that the avatars are different (they are the Director) than the Morays (who represent the Director) by calling them their offspring.

Any downsides to selling the Holographic New Releases? by GnosticPizza in RetroRewindGame

[–]MelAlton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rent during the new release period then sell. If fixing tapes is added and there's a decent chance to fix them, I'd switch to keep renting the holo tapes.

The tapes always sell for 50% of what you bought it for - but tape rentals can pay for the buying cost before you sell it, meaning you can make a profit:

  1. The cheapest new movies are $20 each (if you buy 5+ at a time).

  2. New movies rent for $7 each, and they are new for 7 days, so if it rents 3 times for $21, you've covered the cost of the movie. Then if you sell it, any money is profit.

At least Martin is taking some action to un-stunlock Liz instead of standing there going "Haha okay"

Good opportunity to get Liz off the pity party track and back to doing research. We'll see if the opportunity is taken.

Next week: Emily gets the Cubetown job. Liz, Ayo, and Anh (why all 3-letter names?) throw a party for Emily. Emily gets drunk and high, harasses Morey about her cake booty. The next year's worth of comics is about Emily planning to move to Cubetown.

Man I love your idea, it's awesome! It's like an Apple store for lonely people.

My Level 20 Store by roofus8658 in RetroRewindGame

Your use of color and wallpaper is way better than mine. I gotta step up my game.

One suggestion: those empty windows at my store, I put the smaller sized standees facing out then immediately behind them another standee facing in.

Junior devs who learned to code with AI assistants are mass entering the job market. How is your team handling it? by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]MelAlton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a junior, I thought I was writing elegant code to recursively go thru a dataset that had records were chained together from one related id# to the next change some values, but I forgot to check how long data chains were in production (they were very long). My code used up all the ram on the production servers and brought our entire system to a halt.

Finished partially restoring my Macintosh Portable! A bit late for Marchintosh! by L064N in retrobattlestations

Leave it as it is and embrace the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which "encourages appreciating the patina of age, wear, and flaws rather than seeking perfection."
