I haven’t deployed new code since last Monday.

In this house, we do not take chances.

Although one of my team had an unfortunate incident with a live customer database and the SQL standards committee’s long running practical joke of not requiring a WHERE clause as part of an UPDATE statement… So that was some Thursday morning excitement for us.

If they even try that it will look like that car chase scene from The Blues Brothers.

“I’ve only got a few hours left, I’m not talking to that pudding faced prick”

Quelle surprise.

Full raytracing (path tracing) might be.

I think they can do it for very basic looking games like Quake 2.

That said, I doubt you’d actually need full RT for visuals like Toy Story 1. Or indeed on most things.

They got pretty good at faking most of it. RT can basically just be used for reflections, shadows and global illumination and most of us wouldn’t notice the difference.

Don’t worry. Chronic underfunding of education coupled with social media means we can save money on expensive lead!

You leave them.

The Lizardman Constant.

2000 ish, apparently.

The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.

Nah, he just purchased the world’s biggest megaphone from which he could propel his ketamine fuelled opinions into the deep uncaring void of the internet.

The half price games on various platforms (“Platinum” on playstation, can’t remember what they were called in other platforms) were great and made me get into consoles.

Feels like the PS4 gen when that stopped happening. Shame, because it’s not like you can magic your customers into having more money to spend. They’ll just buy fewer games.

Listen pal, I was fine with invading Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark and the Netherlands, but I draw the line at France!

I know someone who is pretty good at chess but also thinks vaccines are fake, Musk is a genius, and Ukraine belongs to Russia.

So not all chess players are smart.

We DoN’t NeEd VaCcInEs We’Ve GoT aSbEsToS!

Fake Fediverse is fake.

Fuck Turkey and fuck however they want it spelt.

Sure, if you redefine “Mars” as “that mysterious pile of ash that’s inevitably going to appear behind one of these detention centres”.

Each one dashed out with the stroke of a marker pen and a goofy-ass signature.

It turns out mass graves are a lot cheaper than prisons, and honestly, who’s checking?

They’re getting concentration camps at slave labour prices.
