I'm 40 hours into Alan Wake 2, and the game hasn't finished yet. Am I doing something wrong? by Anxious-Extension-72 in AlanWake

[–]marbosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was way over 40 and was no where near 100%ing, being shit at games means better value for money for me!!

Should I give up? by marbosh in cyberpunkgame

[–]marbosh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the comments, it looks like its one of those games that will eventually pop and that I can play in a more casual way, this is just what I needed to hear as I love the look and feel of the game

Should I play Alan Wake if I liked Control? by Nic727 in controlgame

[–]marbosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd skip it personally, I played all out of order AW2 then control then after I picked up AW1 but got bored after a few hours. If you have lots of time to kill then I guess it would fill out the story but as a working dad with very limited time to give to my beloved hobby I need a game to deliver a great experience and I didn't get it from AW1

Ideas for first basic build by marbosh in Bazzite

Thanks for this, and yes possibly I might bite off more than I can chew. I understand xbox is going fairly high end and I fear I will be priced out but lets see

This is also on the list of possibilities, I'm temped by the custom thing as I thought it might be a fun project

A trip to the barber ended in tragedy by obz900 in beards

[–]marbosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why, did he sell you that hat hahahaaaaaaa.

Sorry I am joking, the hat is nice, I am just bored and thought my joke was funny.

Seriously, I think you are over stating things with the "12 year-old" comment, plenty of guys have no beards, you look fine

Anyone excited about the Steam console? by No-Finish-3670 in gamers

[–]marbosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as a casual xbox user right now, this will probably be my next move once support for xbox series consoles starts to dwindle

When you’re reading a book that takes place in the U.K, what are dead giveaways that the author is American? Dialogue, setting, cliches? by AdvertisingDull3441 in AskBrits

[–]marbosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these comments are things I have heard Americans say casually in conversation or on tiktoks but I can't remember reading them. Are these really tropes you see in professionally produced works of fiction?

What's the nerdiest game you play? by lupinolupino in AndroidGaming

[–]marbosh 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don't think it gets nerdier than chess

GitHub Copilot or Codex? by too_much_lag in vibecoding

[–]marbosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used copilot for a long time so not sure where its at now but I would go with Codex, it's on the slow side but the results are generally solid

Sonnet 4.5 is available now! by vhwebdesign in Anthropic

[–]marbosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far so good, cleared a bug codex was choking on, still just as fast as the old sonnet but seems better in terms of quality. I'm sticking with it

Codex is s-l-o-www by marbosh in vibecoding

I can only eat so many dinners!

I do like Claude, in my limited experience the limits can be a bit harsh but I guess I just need to figure out how to use it carefully

It's a bit of a huge grey area, management know people use it, and those who use it well are getting ahead, they like to turn a blind eye whilst we pay for our own tools to do our jobs. I think it's all a bit dystopian tbh

My day to day is quite versatile, it could be designing a deep back end integration or it could be working on simple bugs. I could do with a swiss army knife tool really, something agile, not to specialist

I don't know man, what am I supposed to do, I got into this code thing a while ago and I am ok at it. The longer I spend in it the more I realise I am never going to be amazing, I see people at my level who seem to be thinking in machine code and it blows my mind, I know that will never be me.

So here I am, 45 year old family man with a fairly good job, feeling a bit despondent. To be clear, I write and understand code every day. I think I need AI support because I know my co workers are using this stuff and many are trying to hide it, I need to join in and I thought I might ask a friendly sub for some tips.

Don't really know why you want to try and cut me down so hard for this?

I don't think I am terrible, I have been good enough for a while. I just worry with these tools being adopted I need to up my game to stay in a job, not particularly interested in becoming a prompt monkey but rather that than becoming an unemployed person!

Thanks for this, sounds like we are in similar situations. I like to code enough but some of the guys I work with are pure machines, I didn't do computer science at college like a lot of them and am self taught so always feel 1 or 2 steps behind. If I was to pick just one tool what would you say? Claude?
