I don't know what it is, but there is a special joy in drunkenly playing video games while the rest of the family is asleep...

@Powerlord I just want an elvis operator, like Groovy

I think half of the problem is that the Java community is overly verbose. Frameworks on top of frameworks.

Java 8 at least gave us a functional syntax that gets rid of quite a bit of the pointless verbosity

I am living in Java verbosity as we speak

@Powerlord ............neat

I've never really worked in perl, I just hear about it and occasionally cringe

@badp I get the sense that perl is a fun language to write things in and a terrible language to maintain things in.

Seems like a bad idea for a series drenched in camp...

I recently reorganized my Steam categories. It was ridiculous. I wish Steam would stop making me buy all these games...

@Yuuki Oh, yeah, I'm enjoying the game a lot, it's just got the usual Bethesda list of stuff that irritates me

Maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe it's realism vs fantasy, but I enjoyed the graphics in skyrim much more

What really bugs me is that I have FO4 maxed out, but it still randomly decides to use the super low res textures at random times. So you'll just suddenly come across objects that are big grey blurs

Yeah, I keep seeing people talking about how beautiful fallout 4 is, but it honestly doesn't look that great to me. The world design is nice, but the textures are just meh.

@fredley Vegas should take bets on the next JS framework to be declared the "big thing"

@MadMAxJr Angular was only the future for 6 months in 2014

We'll all be writing Java Swing apps in a couple years

@Sterno Didn't you know, it's a fad

@MadMAxJr Necronomicon is in perl I think

Seems like it could be challenging to figure out how to help people without just feeding answers to the lazy

How much of it is people asking for help with their homework?

Stop playing fallout and start playing winterbash

Guys, why aren't we higher on the hats leaderboard? LaTeX should not be ahead of us in hats.

ah, yeah, reading about this now. It started out as real time, and they couldn't leave the first area until they switched to "turn-based"

I remember hearing about that when it was first a thing, and they could barely do anything. Did they change the rules or something?

wait, they beat dark souls?

It's hard to maintain your integrity when your rabid fanbase throws money at every re-release and port you feel like putting out there

We don't need it, but we probably do deserve what we're getting out of our political circus

I think it's actually the other way around

@Unionhawk I DEMAND THAT YOU DO THE THING YOU SORT OF WANT TO DO!

@badp I think "high efficiency" refers more to the amount of water used?

@TimS. We put a little baking soda in with most loads and that does it for us

Even if your pipe is fast, you're only going to get the speed of the worst wire in the route

You're welcome.

Guys, I know you've been waiting for someone to play 24 hours of non-stop Prince music, and I'm here to tell you that it's finally happening. blog.thecurrent.org/2015/12/…

@StrixVaria Heyo. I've been lurking a bit lately

@TimStone The scathing comments on all the big data ones are what make this great.

Completionists' nightmare basically

I almost closed it before I realized how huge it is

Has anyone else checked out today's XKCD?

@twobugs The tower one?

The idea isn't flawed per se. You're trading a long-term large payoff for a short-term small payoff. But when the long-term payoff is never going to happen, then it starts getting morally questionable

Alternately, sell the questionable debt to another company for a fraction of its "worth", and let them take the hit when the person defaults.

That exact thing, happening to thoudands and thousands of people, was largely responsible for the last US recession

But that's what the question is asking, so any answer should probably answer that.

I don't know if that's true.

how about "Companion affinity is the only criteria that triggers these quests"?

Hey, which one of you broke GoG?

I'm sure that sort of stuff will just happen more and more as state and corporate-sponsored hacking gains popularity
