Valmond,

Don’t forget about the advocado toasts!

Valmond,

Oh, the old every game is worth 50€ so a drive with 4.000 roms is … 200 grands of course !

Valmond,

Me:

Shows a demo function just to show how it could be done.

Manager: (looking in his manager book)

-“So it’s already implemented!”

Me: no it needs to be programmed first

Manager: but it already is, i can see it on screen!

Me: it has to be implemented correctly.

Manager (looking in book again)

-“How much time if you implement quickly as quick as possible?”

Me: it will take X time.

Manager: Starts to call tech-lead and chief boot-licker to “convince” me it doesn’t need that much time.

After 3 hours of painful meeting I say okay okay okay and pushes ‘best I could do’ to production in the same evening. Reinforcing the idea that I’m a lying bad programmer and that Manager, tech-lead and chief boot-licker are correct.

RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it angielski

Runescape is jacking up their subscription prices next month, going from like 12 bucks to 14 bucks a month. The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency. Players are PISSED about it especially since the company got bought out by some investment firm earlier this year, and they see it as a shameless cash...

Valmond,

Thanks!

I played it a looong time ago, mined a lot lol.

Tried it later and it was more 3D-ish and I didn’t like that very much.

Any idea which one I should try out?

Cheers!

Valmond,

Runescape is nice and all but it’s not WoW IMO.

Valmond,

Isn’t it a pseudo rogue like? Like you (have to) upgrade your ‘village’?

If it’s the game I found it quite tedious(haven’t voted up or down).

Valmond,

Audiophiles loathe that crap. It’s not making better sound, just adds loudness and other shit. Surround? It’s like when groups long time ago started using stereo and made the sound Left then Right then LEFT etc. After the first experience its just a nuisance.

But gotta sell the crap I guess. Good they just didn’t care about big corpo :-)

Valmond,

If you don’t have more or less a listening room with the loudspeakers very well placed, you won’t notice a difference. Mono with a good setup will give spatial clues as good as stereo. Yes you might get the left-right mixed up I guess but does it matter?

There was some mp3 matchbox shaking sound clip that really felt like it went around your head (popular maybe 10-15 years ago?), a simple mobile phone produced the effect very well, you just needed to close your eyes.

Valmond,

It’s not only video game studios that got bought up and then dried out during the “quantitative easing” period.

Money was so cheap it made sense (business wise) to buy and kill competitors instead of beating them by being better.

Valmond,

Will check out thanks!

Valmond,

Wow now that was a feeling I havent felt for I guess a quarter of a century, those graphics 😁.
