This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

Today: "Billionaire former dev whose engineering firm has been mismanaged to the point it has to vibe-code a launcher takes offense at AI-critique of popular developer that every developer that started since 2015 or so adores; Elon Musk gets involved to support the side that is obviously wrong."

Cleaned up this Dolly sketch from a few years ago, mostly to make her hair twice as big, because she deserves it.

Stuff like Napster and CD burning "escaped containment" because it was genuinely useful (and fun!) for normies, whereas I believe the average person may have played with DALL-E for a day?

Whenever a publisher says "We want the next Balatro" what this would literally mean is "We want to give money to someone who has never released a game before, and also it has to be a kind of game that has never been made before", and then not looking at any metrics or data because those don't exist.

I have quite literally been told by like 3 publishers that they want "the next balatro" in those exact words.

Most GameDevs leave the industry after 5-6 years. AAA games take 5+ years to make. This means most Devs in AAA games have never been there for a game's full dev cycle. Meaning most JRs are learning from mentors that haven't experienced it all. That's an institutional problem. #GameDev

Our legal system consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: It is illegal to make a rich person angry

Despite how I post / retweet, I feel like I've been successfully holding back all the feelings I have about *gestures to all of it*. But gutting Id was the last straw for me. Nothing's ever gonna get any better in my lifetime, isn't it. Nothing's ever gonna be enough, isn't it.

Only ghouls and stooges work in HR

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.
