It took seven hours, but a streamer grape-pressed almost every NPC in Hitman's Winery level at once. https://bit.ly/3Oe6AVx

If you take a job that's too hard for you, don't kill yourself. Wait until you're bigger and stronger, then try again.

I see a fair number of writers make pronouncements based basically on how they feel about their career that week, whether it's going well or in the tank. There's nothing strategic or necessarily accurate about such expressions and they don't much help beginning writers parse info from bullshit.

Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site

We will never get another AAA MINMO or GODLLA: Size Is Problem because this type of work is first on the chopping block in the genAI era. Was checking about RE9, and found an interview with Capcom about using it to concept background/environmental objects. This is my favorite shit so it's tragic

i have to emphasize: these guys are really not very smart. they just know when they can materially benefit from a situation or not, because that's the world they live in. to credit them as having machiavellian plans ignores the massive complicity and infrastructure in place that let them do it.

The stitch one was still pretty close! It was mostly a cosmetic retooling. The original was THRILLING tho. There's a couple videos of the experience floating around on youtube.
