I’m with you. It’s amazing how fast ChatGPT has replaced SO for me.

I’m not sure how this will work long term. How will the model get new training data?

But honestly? SO can eat a bag of dicks. It doesn’t matter if you’re asking a question that’s nowhere on the site (or the first 3 pages of Google results). It’s going to get closed and ignored.

I think most people moved to Reddit and Discord a while ago, which is also problematic. We need to get these conversations happening on the open Fediverse.

I have used Boost on Android for years.

Hahaha! Your brother skins awesome 😂 and yeah, the wearwolf fight kicked my ass too 😂

That’s an interesting perspective. It’s nice to hear from someone who actually played it. :)

FOR CARL!

I may have to do that. :) I need to buy a good handheld that can play that stuff.

I didn’t even know this existed! I’ll have to look it up.

Never played the NES game. I came close to beating it but never could get past the boss to the final level.

It’s alright. I’m just glad others remember it existing!

My grandpa was sick a lot so I spent a lot of time waiting for him in the emergency room. I played this to pass the time!

Glad I’m not the only one!

That’s a big thing for sure. I had a lot of fun with Deep Rock Galactic, but would never have tried it if my friend group hadn’t wanted to play.

I’m holding out hope for Starfield. I’m trying to not let myself get excited… But it looks like something that could be so fun. I really hope they get it right. :)

Yup. Glad I didn’t buy it, but hey… If they fix it down the road I’d give it a shot since it’s on Game pass.

That’s completely fair! You’re allowed to like it. :) The internet’s opinion doesn’t have to be yours. Loll.

I think that’s the point of the article. Was it a great game? No. But apparently you’re not the only person that’s getting some enjoyment out of it. :)

All of this is true. :)

Since you asked, I’ll give you a nuanced answer.

PHP is not, in itself, inherently bad. The newer versions are performant and if you are a good programmer, you can produce completely fine stuff with it.

The problem is that it’s flexibility leads to sloppy programming, which leads to projects that turn into a cluster. A good example is WordPress. I’d argue WordPress itself is well written. Once you add a dozen or so badly written plugins though it becomes a mess.

A lot of the criticism is the same that JavaScript gets. It’s a loosely typed language. So “1” is different than 1. The first is a string and the second is an integer. So if you add 1+1 you could end up with 11 instead of 2.

Again, this isn’t a problem if you’re a disciplined dev, but we’re not a breed known for our discipline ;)

When I tried Kbin it was slow, which I attributed to badly written PHP code. However, I didn’t do the research to confirm this was the case.

Eeeeehhhhh… I actually could see how this would happen. He’s not being a dick and he fixed it. Unless there’s more to the story… 🤷‍♂️

My issue with kbin is php. 😂

Same. I manually deleted mine.

Eloquently stated. I expected nothing less from @ShartyWaffles 😂
