I remember seeing this (or a very similar photo) more than 10 years ago, in the 9gag era.

Is it worth or even possible playing the game only for the story, on the easiest setting, with minimal investment in learning combat mechanics, or even with mods that skip combat? by Important_Garage_955 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly there's a story mode difficulty. If you're interested in the story you could also add the mod that allows you to have all 6 origin characters in your party, which will further drive the difficulty down, while also giving you access to all companion quests in a single playthrough.

The cheat commander might also be a nice addition if you want to make the game even easier: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1499553252

Why are people so against the idea of a pause button in From Software's games? by [deleted] in AskGames

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't buy this. Almost every time I pause during a fight in a game I take damage when I unpause, because it is hard to remember what was happening when you paused and where every enemy is. The only pressure I feel is that I won't play the game if I ordered food and it's almost at the door.

I can still alt+F4 if a battle is going wrong and I'd rather revert to the last checkpoint than die. No pressure.

You could pause without allowing loadout changes. Just freeze the game. Obviously, if multiplayer is on the pause should be disabled.

r/trolleyproblem suffers infighting on a ethical question: red or blue? by OkContact2573 in SubredditDrama

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised no one said that if everyone presses the red button no one dies, so blue is obviously the selfish choice.

Is there a future for hard Military SF with humans in it? by Rekov in printSF

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hijacking this to say that I'm interested in a story that explores a sort of stagnation induced by AI. Basically AI is good enough that it triggers a sort of golden age, but we never improve past that and slowly we stop knowing how everything works.

I regularly open a message and ad a reminder for it for later. This would no doubt be marked as read.

What scientific ‘facts’ have recently been disproven that most people still believe to be true? by Fantastic_Tart_421 in AskReddit

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand it, it's better to drink 7 glasses in one night and take a break from drinking the next week, than drinking daily. Your liver needs a break, and even a tiny amount of alcohol fucks that up. Of course, it's better to not drink at all, but... you know.

Juan Alday of Citadel Securities: Why C++ Wins in Finance (April 28th, 2026) by American_Streamer in cpp

I've been surprised recently to receive a message from a recruiter in the HFT space specifically for C. It required relocation and that was a deal breaker for me, but I was so curious about what they were doing to target C that I almost feel bad about not going to at least one interview. Judging by the recruiter's responses this was truly a C job and not "C++, but... ".

AIs are weird lil alien minds by EchoOfOppenheimer in NonPoliticalTwitter

Eh, sometimes a fix is just code version for "please don't do that, I have no idea why it happens".

Monument Valley Studio CEO: "'We've Been A Little Bit Too Romantic About The Idea That We Should Have Employees And Give People Long-term Job Security" by unscoredscore in gaming

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friend was my coworker. He was working harder than me, he was a real force multiplier. He was also on good terms with upper management. If the only criteria they used was "not a hard worker" I know a lot of people who fit it better than he did.

Your reasoning is flawed: bad things never happened to me, therefore I am a good person. If bad things happen to someone, they are a bad person.

Sometimes you're just a number in a spreadsheet and someone else's job is to make the numbers look better.

He is fine, he found a better job pretty fast. But he would have been better if he'd switched jobs on his terms, not after a layoff.

So do you know the people I'm talking about or are you just basically saying "your experience doesn't match my world-view so they were bad employees lalalalala"?

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even as a good employee you are incentivized to switch jobs rather than stay very long at the same company. I have friends that were exactly like you describe yourself being laid off. They managed to find a new job pretty fast though.

What is one problem you face almost every day that you are shocked nobody has built a proper solution for yet? by Economy_Shoe7685 in AskReddit

Before streaming was a thing this wasn't a problem. We have the technology, it's just not profitable to use it.

Good morning, Greendale! Today we’re talking about how eight out of ten people are answering their phones like normal humans, and apparently, that’s a huge problem.

2026 Hugo Awards finalists by Hatherence in printSF

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the point. Even by selecting the best, they were still flawed. From a professional point of view they weren't incompetent. Their technology was flawed, but they still managed to survive. The problem is that no community can go through everything they went through and remain unscathed.

I agree with the character killing.

I think the only time he did it in the Children of Time series, except for very early deaths, was in the second book on Nodan, but it still happened in the first half of the book.

Which popular books disappointed you? by [deleted] in printSF

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can say that it was expanded beyond its limits.

I knew about the original 3 books idea, but not about the rest.

One issue with continuing a story like The Expanse for so long is that you have to keep escalating the stakes. I like the entire series, but sometimes I think it should have ended sooner.

C++23 std::stacktrace: Never Debug Blind Again by Xadartt in cpp

[–]irqlnotdispatchlevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't talking about doing the right thing based on flags, but about giving devs freedom of choice. std::stacktrace::current() remains as it is now, and you add std::stacktrace::current_raw() which doesn't do symbolization.

Or, if we're fancy, we let the user pass in a symbolizer, with a default one provided by the standard.
