@villesepp AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK YOU IT'S AMAZING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@wendynather not a poke at you, just love the modern web.

@hohokam great point! I think #IdSoftware has reset gaming and we are still paying the price. I wanted to mention pre-90s gaming in my rant, including #Infocom, but there was not enough space on the margins.

@Elena @eniko #Undertale! Probably the fan-made expansion. #Braid may be one, but the jury is still out. I didn't see play-throughs and I didn't complete it, but the inter-world book snippets are super fucking eerie.

@eniko please links to all of it. I know for you it's mildly traumatic, but I would loooooooooove some good fun.

My take is the opposite of the hypothetical authors. The fact that I have only like 1.5 games to play — #Undertale and #InvisibleInc, and maybe #DeusEx and #Thief (?!) is the legacy of white cis male fetishist #IdSoftware company and their senseless #DOOM (nb! I love #doomRL, I don't know what's wrong with me. nb! I've completed #DOOM, and I kind of liked it. But it actually contributes to the point).

The logical continuation of this were horrible, misogynistic #DukeNukem and racist #ShadowWarrior (I **loved** #ShadowWarrior as a kid, because I didn't see racism behind the veil of diversity, nor could I understand English enough to "appreciate" main character's "jokes").

Of course, certain people would miss this descent into the circles of hell (no pun intended)!

I want to live in a world where none of this have happened and Carmack was at most a hippie, not a filthy libertarian.

@eniko I keep rerolling stylix but that may be 16.

@ferricoxide I'm super-humble! After hiring toxic "leaders" it takes a painfully unaware person to be one.

@MAKS23 ho ho ho

Wow, I was rejected only once in my life. And I already got rejected twice in the last two weeks. 😃

Are companies suspicious of a business owner applying for a work as a sr. dev?

(Should say "beyond that", obviously).

@laund fair enough. It reminds me of the issue we had in #GHC where basically throwing cores at compilation worked up till you had like 16 cores, but below that the bottleneck was the module dependency graph building inside the compiler so parallel compilation speed-up was non-existent.
