One year ago, RedLynx was being praised by Digital Foundry for producing "the most impressive demonstration of Switch 2 technology we've yet seen." Now, the studio is being shut down by Ubisoft. I keep seeing the phrase 'do good work, get laid off anyway' and, yeah, I can see why.

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

bisubites 4h
when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.

Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

Stop being scared of gamers, imo. One of the best things about XCOM is the understanding that you can be half way through and just... fail. Game over. Start again. It's thrilling! Give people new things. Challenge them. Stop being soft, it's turning games to homogenised mush.
