Yeah. I’m still hanging on. The golden handcuffs are too good.

Silicon Valley felt way too real. What a time to be alive and fresh out of college.

illyay

This must be satire lmao

illyay

lol yeah it gets hard to take dbz seriously when every new threat is even stronger than the last

illyay

Wow that logo reminds me of Medal of Honor

illyay

This was completely justified 🤡

illyay

It becomes a bit contrived after a while in Metroid too

illyay

Lmao

illyay

lol yeah. We have multiple Metroid games. They all have to find some way to accomplish this

This is one of my favorite CV videos.

I'm fucking dying of laughter at the guy's face malfunctioning and his body duplicating while yelling, What the Hell!

And then the weird ballerina dude.

Wow this is awesome and sent me down a rabbit hole of watching those gdc talks which I was super curious about.

I am using Claude to help with coding though but mostly as a research tool and to do the mundane setup and initial scaffolding that I then polish by hand after. The code is still very much mine, and I still have to watch GDC talks by experts to truly know how to do things and learn. We all use ai in the tech industry now so we’re exposed to it at work in some way. It’s kinda like using Google if you don’t just straight vibe code.

I do understand the feeling of joy being taken out of a lot of things. I think I looped back on being able to find the joy in building again.

A quake 2 grunt never dies. They’re only missing in action.

Like I said in an earlier comment, anyone who says they don't use AI gives away that they aren't a professional software engineer working in tech.

It's ironic that people who accuse others of using AI not being skilled programmers are actually accusing the skilled programmers who work in tech of being those non-skilled programmers.

500m is a little short I think. I remember feeling like 1000m is too short a draw distance when working on a renderer in outdoors. Then again I didn't have any nice fog effects to hide things.

illyay

And dark Templar exist in StarCraft 1 so they can’t say, oh we also added them to brood war after and didn’t think of this at the time

illyay

lol yeah

Doom runs on potatoes. People can always disable the dynamic lights too so you’d want to make sure the level is playable without the dynamic lights

illyay

Is that a fucking quake reference?!?! 😳😳😳😳

Did you guys know the nail boxes in quake have the NIN logo 😳😳😳😳😳 omg.

I bet you also didn’t know Trent Reznor made all the music and sounds!

Fuck yes. I’m basically acting like this is a jojo reference.

illyay

You’re not right!

illyay

I would think that’s more because they weren’t as good at animating. Sc2 has more of those jumpy animations.

But you’re right. Things should look different in the suit instead of overly natural.

illyay

You guys are all being obtuse. Why don’t you learn something about triangles you acute motherfuckers.

illyay

This will blow the quake 3 chat bots out of the water

Halflife. You’re just doing science shit, then all hell breaks loose, then you wake up on a train in the middle of an apocalypse.
