Dont care what games or executables i wont be able to run

Between Wine and Proton that's basically a non issue anymore, go ahead and make the switch. The era of windows exclusive software is pretty much over.

More like, you know damn well that Jim keeps passing code reviews without reading a line in them, he's been talked to, still does it, and you need something actionable to prove it so that you can get someone's ass in his chair who does their job.

Will be interesting to see where it goes. Mostly I'm just happy to see anything escape the clutches of Embracer Group.

Some of those I understand complaining about but honestly Sets & Logic is a great class for a programmer. I wish that was in the standard math path so that everyone got a little of it in high school, the closest I got was doing proofs in geometry which while that is a sort of logic training it doesn't really teach you how to make use of anything.

Also, depending what you're building exactly, advanced Calc and Numerical Analysis may be very useful and/or required to perform. Especially if you're trying to accurately model something that happens in meatspace.

When you hit phase 2 of the fight and the boss pulls out a crack pipe

Ah, glad you asked. Let's talk about mate-in-omega.

Just collate them based on edit/deletion date... Each post will have a last-edited attribute that can be used for sorting. Even more so once the AI is bootstrapped enough to start recognizing the standard protest edit messages. At that point you hardly even need human oversight anymore, because the bot will be able to recognize "that's a fuck spez edit, ignore that; this post looks good; that's a Shreddit/PowerDelete edit, ignore that" and so on. Can even have it fetch the previous edit automatically when it comes across something like that, to a point where a comment removed by a PowerDelete tool is nothing more than a cover letter that states "there was once a real human-generated comment in this location".

That's an important distinction because an average person will not die from capsaicin intake.

I have a feeling there is a very large number of people just waiting for the shoe to drop

Sekiro is a lot more lenient on its parrying than Souls is. Whenever you see an attack incoming just mash the hell out of the block button for 1-2 seconds, more often than not you'll get the parry. It's the only Fromsoft game that allows that without punishing it.

For some later bosses you'll have to actually get their timing down but that'll carry you far enough through the game for you to get your feet under you.

Truly it boggles the mind.

I lost a run the other day to a series of events, one of which included me (in-game) finding and eating enough psychedelic fungus to trigger a shift in reality, which transmuted all smoke in the universe and any created thereafter, into acid. Like carbolic acid, not the fun drugsy kind.

Acid, naturally, eats through all creatures and materials in the game world, including many things you'd consider otherwise invulnerable, until it evaporates - into flammable gas.

Therefore any time an object or material caught fire (which is often, with or without player interference), it would quickly consume anything below it for several meters while feeding itself with flammable gas and spreading to any new flammable materials it uncovered.

The world very quickly became a very large mess.
