cake and icecream is on its way
It's frankly unacceptable that 343i launched Halo: MCC on PC without an option to disable in-game text chat entirely, let alone an in-game report function to report racists in said text chat.
Game studios be like "hey guys, we got skins now! report function? what's that?"

And this has nothing to do with the abilities of the populace
Literacy has fallen since 1993

I found out today that only 16% of Americans can read at a high school level or above.
36% of them read at most at a 6th to 8th grade level. 34% of them read at a 4th to 5th grade level.
I am almost certain America's educational system is to blame here. The way we teach middle and high school is severely broken. The system has failed us.
tired: buying more steam games
wired: buying more arks cash to fuel my real addiction
this has the added benefit of making it easier for people to translate your videos for a broader reach
video creators: please add subtitles to your videos. autogenerated subtitles is not enough to serve everyone who needs them (though they're better than nothing)

It's wild to me how white developers can have like, 6 different gigs in the span of 7 years. That's extraordinary.
But then again, maybe it isnt.
It's easy for white devs to go from gig to gig b/c white-run companies will take a chance on them whether they suck or not.
Meanwhile I've met black people in tech who've been clutching the same gig for YEARS, b/c being out of work means searching for another job for-fucking-ever.
I'm honestly surprised that Rust's async stuff is as ergonomic to use, if not more ergonomic, than Kotlin's coroutines. The lack of intrinsically scoped tasks leaves a little to be desired, but Rust compiles everything down to something so much smaller and more concise, and the compile times so far haven't been offensive at all.

Alan Turing bday, suicide mention
Alan Turing was born today
He was gay and neurodivergent, famous for 'Turing machine,' a model for modern/general purpose computers
he was also chemically castrated by his government for being gay (instead of prison time), and later committed suicide at 41
Rest in Power, Alan 
I mean he was terrible and did terrible things. But he was the best antagonist for sure.
Emet Selch was the best.

So if Gearbox screwed up the lightmaps for Halo PC, what's stopping someone from importing the lightmaps from the Xbox maps into the PC maps
i mean it's no secret that ARK is a poorly optimized mess, but dear god, this is embararssing for such a high profile game
good lord, ARK on PS4 is a hot mess isn't it? these cascade shadow maps stop 5 feet in front of your character
