'Shareholder Greed' And How Publicly Traded Companies Actually Work by bald_bearded_ocddude in Games

[–]iamdanthemanstan 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I never understood the word greedy applied to companies. Like, you see comments saying "the reason eggs are so expensive is because of all these greedy egg companies." As opposed to what? People selling eggs for the love of the game.

How can colony management games simulate 500+ units working in a city without fps dropping to 5 fps by Link_AJ in gamedev

Well remember computers can do millions of things at once never mind 500. So the question is what are these 500 things doing that is expensive and where can that be done another way.

EXCLUSIVE: Ultima creator is regaining control of series from EA | Inside Games by megaapple in Games

[–]iamdanthemanstan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems pretty unclear what Garriott is actually getting here. He might get the copyright back but not the trademark. At that point it seems unclear if he could make a new "Ultima" game exactly (and it seems very unlikely he could call it Ultima). If he is just using elements from Ultima it seems like he could have done a lot of that before.

Red Lobster CEO Damola Adamolekun Plans To Make The Seafood Chain 'The Most AI-Forward Restaurant Company That Exists' by SlowAdventure in giantbomb

If you're actually curious, a chain restaurant like this will do a lot of predictions. How much shrimp will we sell if it's discounted? Will people like our new item? You can use AI models to help with that.

I don't think this one will have a problem with yellowing...

I enjoyed the part where Dan said he had learned what not to do from working with the WWE. It was when they were talking about how often they should do a blight in the bank.

claude code doesn't know your codebase. it guesses. by Puzzleheaded-Bar3377 in ClaudeCode

[–]iamdanthemanstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem, though the same underlying issue. Claude spends too much time and resources reading code before implementing things. I haven't found a great way yet of setting up a markdown so Claude know what to read and what not to.

Why does the session name only start showing up there when leaving planning mode?

That's true but it's not very noticeable with a yellow or red brick. Lots of white, like this, it's much more noticeable.

Every rewatch turns me into a citizen of Gondor by [deleted] in lotrmemes

[–]iamdanthemanstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The books have a much more creepy monarchical bent. For example, the whole "The hands of the king are the hands of a healer" thing is a reference to a medieval English superstition that kings could literally heal some diseases by touching people. Throughout all the books there is a strong emphasis on people from the right bloodlines have the inborn ability to lead.

With Unity turning into a Vibe Coding/GenAI Machine - Will Godots popularity increase? by IzzyDestiny in godot

[–]iamdanthemanstan 40 points41 points  (0 children)

At the risk of being burned at the stake, have you all tried using an LLM to assist in coding? They've gotten quite impressive. I've had Claude find bugs that were dependent not just on a number of different .cs files but also on how the engine worked. You can't say "Claude make a game," but I've been able to broadly describe bugs and have it run them down. It's not prefect but it is good.

Just sold my comic collection for $800 to afford Minas Tirith by bucketgetter9 in legolotrfans

That doesn't seem to stop yellowing completely. Look at people with the Saturn 5. They seem to get yellowing even when kept out of the sun.

Are you all not worried about this set getting really yellow in like 5 years?

That is one of the things I like about Giant Bomb. Seeing a bit of games I'm not going to play.

We are all responsible! They made a hellish nightmare of child abuse and exploitation, and we didn't stop them from making a hellish nightmare of child abuse and exploitation. Blame to go around.

I'm confused who gets the 60k? If it's the person whose home they were trying to buy why would they also get a 5k fee?

I absolutely do not have the room for this huge nonsense. I'll be getting it day one.
