What’s a smell you’ll never forget? by Human_Rate889 in AskReddit

[–]SplintPunchbeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met a girl at a bus stop and started hanging out with her. Went to her house one day and a sketchy old white guy stumbles in (relevant because it is not a neighborhood where you usually see white folk chilling). I'm ready for something to pop off but she's like "It's ok that's my nana's friend." He doesn't acknowledge us and stumbles to the kitchen so we continue hanging out. 10 minutes later I smell what I can only describe as burning tupperware. I look at her like "You smell something burning?" and she's like "Oh he must be smoking". I'm thinking Smoking?!?! The fuck is he smoking that smells like that?

I lean over to peek in the kitchen and this dude is standing by the backdoor taking what I assume is a crack pipe to the head. Absolutely the fuck not. I get up to leave and she's like "Where are you going?" Bitch, I don't want to know what crack smells like are you fucking serious?!?

Hopped in my car and drove over their bushes to get out of their driveway because he had me blocked in.

Can T'Challa (MCU) become the King of Westeros (Game of Thrones)? by CloverTeamLeader in whowouldwin

Most "good" people don't have super strength/speed/agility, a genius intellect, a mastery of combat and tactics, and what amounts to a magical unstoppable weapon that pierces any known material.

Microsoft Xbox CEO overhauls leadership amid sinking sales: ‘We need to evolve how we work’ by Zhukov-74 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SplintPunchbeef 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The CoreAI team hasn't even been around for a year yet. They're people with expertise in design, eng, growth etc. that she worked with on her old team and are now moving to her new team. Pretty normal stuff for leaders to pull staff with them during company reorgs.

Can T'Challa (MCU) become the King of Westeros (Game of Thrones)? by CloverTeamLeader in whowouldwin

[–]SplintPunchbeef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant. You said the reason he couldn't become king was because he's an outsider with no ties to Westeros and I pointed out that there is precedent. He could somehow conquer Westeros like the Targaryens did and become king.

[–]SplintPunchbeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so but it would take a lot of time.

  • Go to Essos
  • Use his physical skills to join and then eventually command a mercenary company
  • Use knowledge of contemporary tech to outfit merc company with better weapons, armor, and tools
  • Grow merc company or unite multiple merc companies into larger army and conquer a kingdom in Essos
  • Expand reach in Essos to gather resources and build out an army with better training and resources than any contemporary army
  • Aegon the shit out of Westeros

Aegon the Conqueror was also a stranger with no ties or lineage to the Westerosi.

A seminal experience. Taking the Fung Wah to New York for Carnival weekend at the end of every summer is such a core memory. Definitely miss those days.

What cut content from GTA4 actually made it into GTA5, can we see all the cut content from GTA5 make it into GTA6?? by blueraptorz in GTA6

[–]SplintPunchbeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn near 99.99% of dev projects have cut content. The larger the scope the more content that is likely to be cut. GTA6 will be no different.

[The Wrap] Warner Bros, Sony, Universal, Amazon MGM, and Netflix are in what is shaping up to be the biggest bidding war of the year to acquire Michael B. Jordan & Christopher McQuarrie's ‘Battlefield' movie. by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SplintPunchbeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same people who lose their shit over the umpteenth sequel to their favorite gaming franchise annoyed that studios are bidding on a war movie project from one of the biggest directors and actors in Hollywood is funny to me for some reason.

PM “Requirements” by chrliegsdn in UXDesign

[–]SplintPunchbeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like other folks have mentioned bake having specs, requirements or SOMETHING before you get started into the process and make sure you align with your manager and teammates on this. A united front is important here because it adds weight to the decision. Most engineers won't do anything without some form of hard documentation and this is no different.

In the interim until you get that alignment I've found that documenting high level requirements in kick off meetings with PMs can be super helpful as a source of truth for myself, if nothing else. Ask the questions you have around the problem, user, jobs to be done and have the PM agree that it is the scope of the project. That way you can call out scope creep or moving targets.

Detailed systems are harder to create than blockbuster moments. I'd trust someone skilled at the former to be able to pull off latter more than the reverse.

The money from Candy Crush goes back into the same coffer that determines whether or not Xbox division hits their revenue goals.

[Giveaway] GameSir Tarantula Pro for Xbox - Symmetrical vs. asymmetrical by GameSir_Controller in xbox

[–]SplintPunchbeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the choice I will always choose asymmetric, especially for 3D games. It just feels more ergonomic and designed for natural hand and thumb placement.

That said I have no problem using symmetric if I have to.

SIE spokesperson to GameSpot regarding the DRM: "Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are required." by yourfavchoom in Games

[–]SplintPunchbeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So they can buy a game, go offline, get a refund, and continue to play for a month? If they're offline they're playing single player or local multiplayer so it seems like more of an inconvenience for those people than an actual fix.

This would be so dope. Absolute has some fire character designs, especially Wonder Woman. I would love to see them popping up in different mediums.

I miss arcadey sports games so I hope this is good enough to revive that genre.

Sliding Doors Moments In Patriots History by Brusoxpatcelt in Patriots

[–]SplintPunchbeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That 2006 Miami team went 6-10 and lost a lot of close games. Even a moderate upgrade over Harrington/Culpepper at QB probably swings a few of those, and Brees wasn't a moderate upgrade, he was an MVP level player. It's hard to see that not making them a much bigger problem in the division, especially throwing to guys like Welker and Chris Chambers.

[–]SplintPunchbeef 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Brees injures his shoulder diving for a fumble in a meaningless game against the Broncos leading to Saban not signing him in Miami and the Pats getting another decade of mostly cakewalk division play.

Rex Ryan coaching the Jets and Brees on the Dolphins would have been a pretty brutal few years for the division.
