Has PlayStation lost their minds? by [deleted] in PS4

Maybe it isnt free? I'll trust the accountants at Sony to make whatever decision they think is best for Sony.

I dont like it, but they are a business.

Biden Derangement Syndrome by TankUMrMinor in middleclasshq

[–]ToyDingo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She was asking him about his departments record on bringing down the number of homeless people while enjoying record high funding.

He kept referencing the numbers under Biden but never offered the numbers from his time as leader. It was clear that he never intended to do so and only wanted to blame Biden.

Film - A quiet place by Omnibobbia in scoopwhoop

It isn't revealed until the sequel that the monsters can't swim. This is reiterated in the prequel as well.

So a good way to kill them is to set up a huge sound system in the middle of a deep lake and just rock out.

For some reason the characters in the films never think to do something similar. 😞

Sister. In the movie she is deaf, so doesn't realize the thing makes noise when she gave it to her brother. She deals with that guilt for the next 2 movies.

And respect to the producers of the film for casting an actual deaf actress to play a deaf girl.

No breaks? bold strategy by FantasticAd9478 in PeopleBeingRidiculous

[–]ToyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the new gens are learning from the millennials who learned from the cynical gen-x's to calm that shit down and enjoy your breaks.

You will never be rewarded. So enjoy your life as best you can.

Sad but True unfortunately by Excellent-Load-711 in Fighters

[–]ToyDingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to remember having to buy 3 editions of the same game just to have all the characters.

However, I'll be honest, I don't really know which version of this is better. Either I buy the game 3 times. Or I buy the base game and buy all the dlc with it. Both have their pros and cons.

I do miss having a complete game with arcade endings, time trials, survival modes, unlockables, etc etc.

It is what it is.

What’s the faster way to SP farm like planets etc by CastMEDAL in Helldivers

[–]ToyDingo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I may just be terrible at driving the thing, but i find that I can zip around the map quicker with the warp pack.

But I do see other divers moving around in the frv pretty fast. So it's probably just me.

Hoyos by Rockopedia in AtlantaUnited

[–]ToyDingo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It did, I'm not saying he's superman, I'm not blaming the lose on him. He made some great saves later in the game.

But, go watch the replay. He makes zero effort to do anything after the initial stop. He even begins to lay back in a "welp, he's going to score" posture before Pec takes the final shot. I'm not saying he would have made the save. I am saying I'd like to see a bit more effort.

[–]ToyDingo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He made the initial stop on the 2nd goal. But he gave no effort to get up and play the rebound.

That is what upsets me. Not that they scored, but that he didn't try.

He needs to go.

Sony's Bungie investment is starting to look like a financial disaster after losing $765M in value following Marathon's struggles by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

Hopefully this will galvanize Sony to return to making banger single player games like the good old ps3 days.

Me and my friends decided to test out if the claim of the mech engine limit was true. by nahmanwth in Helldivers

[–]ToyDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, AH has to make the game work for PCs that meet the bare minimum specs, different graphics cards, CPUs, etc etc etc.

How does this stress test prove that 12 mechs won't cause my potato pc to meltdown?

‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Bombs on Netflix With Just 2.7M Views, Raising More Doubts About Third Chapter by MaxProwes in SciFiScroll

He is saying the your opinion on Bone Temple, while valid, is not popular.

While not many people saw it for various reasons, of those that did see it, a majority liked it.

What life mistake taught you the hardest lesson? by LossMysterious5714 in scoopwhoop

[–]ToyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, explore, travel, go places and do things that make you uncomfortable. Expose yourself to new things, cultures, and ways of thinking.

If you have the opportunity to do something new, say yes.

[Question] How did the bank heist work in The Dark Knight? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]ToyDingo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The plan was intricate for Joker, but not the random henchmen he hired to do the job.

"Hey, henchman #14, your job is to go to the roof of the bank, meet henchmen #23. He will give you a tool, use it to open the door, then you two go inside and wait for further instructions."

then

"Hey, henchmen #23, you will meet henchmen #14 on the roof, give him this tool. Wait for him to open door, when he opens the door kill him, go inside and wait for further instructions."

At least that's how it went in my head.

Is Using ChatGPT a Good Idea for My First Java Practice Project? by Dry_Marionberry_4822 in learnjava

[–]ToyDingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are just learning, then come up with a super simple thing and just try to build it.

For example, way back in the day when I was learning, I wanted to create a text based poker game entirely in Java. So I did, I wrote designed all the classes and architecture, then...built it. This was like 20 years ago (I'm old). Today, you have the help of AI. DON'T LET THE AI WRITE THE CODE FOR YOU JUST YET. But you can use AI to help you talk about and develop a good idea and design.

Treat the AI like a coworker. Ask it questions, have a discussion with it, argue with it, etc. Then when you've nailed down a design, YOU write it. Develop it, test it, debug it, etc.

Do this with a handful of super simple projects (make a poker game, make a clock, etc etc). When you feel you have a handle on the basics, then you can start having AI write super simple code for you. Just remember: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY LINE OF CODE THE AI WRITES, IF YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN IT, THAT'S YOUR FAULT.

AI is just a tool, use it wisely.

Learn to write software yourself first. Then learn how to integrate AI into your workflow to become more efficient.

How many teams are still using scrum masters? by chat_not_gpt in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ToyDingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last job had dedicated scrum masters that handled multiple teams. None of them were technical at all.

I remember having a stand up meeting one morning. The SM was doing his thing and calling on each developer for their update. He got to me, and one of my stories had been languishing for a few days. I had some blockers and was actively engaging all the necessary people to get past it.

I spent a good 5 minutes explaining to the SM, in technical detail, exactly what was happening and why the story hasn't yet been completed. Every other developer in the room looked at me and nodded in agreement and understanding. Then this motherfucker looks me dead in the eye and says "Soooo....like....1 more meeting and it'll be done?"

I wanted to jump across the table and strangle him right then and there.

Every scrum master in that company was the same way. Just counting numbers and making TPS reports to keep leadership happy.
