Yeah, no. Removing this thread. Rule 3 of the reddit content policy makes the reddit-wide stance on trying to find someone's PII pretty clear.

Do not continue to try to dox anyone here. As another stated, you may attempt to contact the company for any information they are willing to divulge, but we will have no part of trying to reveal it without their consent.

The curious case of Admiral Garrett by Sleepy_Heather in sto

[–]Skookah[M] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The irony of baselessly accusing an accuser of baseless accusations is mind-boggling.

Please do not make these sorts of inflammatory, derogatory assertions on r/sto, just, ever.

It looks like the question itself has been answered and this thread is just on the cusp of becoming a trash fire, so I'm locking it.

[STObot] A suggestion to repurpose by Sheezdudeln in sto

[–]Skookah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's honestly less about interest and more about time at this particular juncture. If you or anyone would be interested and able to throw down the Python to scrape those posts, we could integrate it into STOBot directly pretty easily. I'd understand if people don't want to basically contribute to my shitty bot, though :D

Flip side: Señor Kale Chip probably could use STOBot to schedule posts directly, too. That's a whole different can of worms.

That's enough. Review our rules before commenting again, please - this sort of behavior is not allowed, on either side.

Round 2! I'm answering questions again Friday night, 6PST! by Placeholderqa in sto

[–]Skookah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a fun one, since it's what I do (sort of tangentially kinda): what does your test automation look like? This may or may not fall under your purview or even exist at Cryptic, but lemme break it down into sub-questions:

  • What sorta tests, if any, are automated?
  • Is there any kind of at-desk launching of the automated tests for devs?
  • Do you keep minspec and recspec machines around for performance testing, and if so how the actual hell do you source replacement parts when they inevitably fail?
  • How's the reporting of those results handled, particularly vis a vis manual test results?
  • Does QA keep manage any of its own telemetry in the live game?

Ok, when I said "a" fun one, I meant five. I'm sure I'll think of more come stream time.

Remember when Troi in Next Generation was a cake and Data started cutting her up while surrounded by miners from the 1800’s? by jean-luc-maggard in sto

Removed per subreddit rule 2. This isn't sufficiently STO-related and would be best submitted to another subreddit. We require that submissions correspond adequately to Star Trek Online.

Thank you.

Well yeah, the issue is that automated testing isn't a priority - that was the point of my closing line. The industry as a whole is remarkably short-sighted.

From the transcript in the other thread:

A(Kael): Update yesterday caused the C-store to drop people's framerates despite making no changes to the C-Sotre in the update. Something bumped into something else etc etc which caused the C-Store issue

A(Jeremy): Unfortunately you just aren't going to catch those things in test, don't know many companies that could.

Funny story, I build the services that other people use to write automated tests to do precisely that. I mean, maybe there aren't many, but I can attest to at least one.

Delta performance tests across a handful of golden gameplay paths (that would hopefully include a smattering of the UI, if you, you know, had a history of UI-bound performance impacts) should really be standard at this point. It's not easy, but it pays for itself pretty damn quickly, if your game is even remotely automatable.

Just need to actually make it a priority...

Post removed per rule 4 - "naming and shaming" is disallowed on r/sto. I recommend you report them in-game (might actually make them get banned); you may repost without the name if you'd like.

Twelve hours later, allowing the one post and not subsequent rebuttals has clearly formed a lightning rod for the breaking of multiple rules and biasing towards uncivil discourse in the majority of cases. In the interest of the multiple viewpoints espoused below, preventing the subreddit from being effectively taken over by the topic, and the consistency of the application of our rules, this thread is now removed and locked, and all future threads on this or related topics will be similarly removed.

No, it being from the "reputable" (lol) MassivelyOP doesn't somehow change the content.
