I thought the same. Everything else worked, but for whatever reason, only GOG didn’t. I actually still have the photo saved from it. I find errors about it dating back at least 2009. At the time I was looking into it, I found it was a common thing from some example code. And it wasn’t even new to GOG; the old installer had the same problem. Example, https://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher_2/cannot_install_internal_error_failed_to_expand_shell_folder_constant_userdocs
I hope they win the lawsuit.
I have a feeling it was the oh-so-popular “0 tolerance” policy that she was punished and he wasn’t. Because the policy didn’t cover what he did. And schools these days love to avoid accountability or being adults when it matters.
I believe this is their third VR headset.
God damn prediction text keyboard. Mapped! (which this time was almost married… fucken Gboard)
It’s saddening to me how many times I’ve actually come across this in production.
Just because the code works doesn’t mean it should ship.
Fuck GOG.
Might be different, but when they launched what I think is their current launcher, it was still using example code from pre-Windows Vista days. This was 2020 I reach out to them, because my user files were mapped to a NAS, and the legacy example code they used didn’t support this. Steam has no issues. Epic had no issues.
All the people wondering why they don’t support Linux… Well that’s because they use outdated Windows code for their launcher.
I’m not going to apologize or feel bad because of your weak blood. I’ll wear shorts until it’s actually cold.
I played this with two friends. The progression system is just awful. So we got through the full campaign once and it was fine honestly. Then we were kind of hyped to try going through it again, it was all right definitely harder. And then the third time around we just gave up cuz it was clear that they’re just wasn’t that much game to play, and the enemy is just become bullet sponges and you either grind endlessly to try to level up and gain unknown amounts of power if its power at all.
Intermultiplayer sessions we did have a few epic moments won’t lie. But the cost just wasn’t worth it. And those thin offset the issues that we had.
Did you play it solo or with people? I found the game to be fairly dull solo. It was better with people but the loot system still allowed a lot to be desired especially if you played with greedy people.
I was going with Beetleborgs
I’m not going to act like slang back in the day was top-notch all the time. But the “slang” from the last 5 years has been just extra lazy. It really feels like a sad, sad attempt to get like a “viral” word to trend; it seems really social media forced and not natural like it used to be. There’s a reason slang stuck around so long (and some survived) compared to this. To what end, I’m not sure, but idiots still post “first” on youtube videos… so, idk, a race to the bottom, I guess. That is to say, this “slang” is gammy.
Honestly, fuck Ansible.
It’s the dialup of automation tools. It was probably amazing 10 years ago.
It’s YAML is awful, it scales terribly, it’s so fucking slow at literally everything, it gives people who have no clue what they’re doing a false sense of confidence.
The number of times I’ve seen app teams waste the time of support groups and engineers because something went wrong and they didn’t have the knowledge to know why and need to waste so many man hours having other people solve it for them. I (the engineer) was added to a chat that had 15 people in it because they, after running ansible, saw errors in their server… So clearly there was a problem with the server… At no point did they question there Ansible job.
Of the various tools I’ve used, I prefer Salt. The YAML is slightly less ass and it’s so much faster while also seeming to scaling better too. It by no means is perfect.
I hate this mentality.
“You did a thing, you knew what was going to happen” is victim-blaming. It’s increasingly hard NOT to buy a device that has some bullshit tech pushed into it, or AI pushed into it. And I’d bet there was nothing on the sales floor about eventual ads.
