This is so hot for them

I don't really ship Lae'zel and Gale but learning magic from him is legitimately cute, as is staying up to watch the stars (and may wonder if those same stars shine in the Astral plane) while Gale talks about going out in a blaze of glory for a deity they love.

Like yeah, Lae'zel relates. It's pretty cute.

does this resonate with ANYONE

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I really tired doing bullshit for the money and ultimately I learned that the money is never enough, I just couldn't do it anymore.

Is it important to you when applying to a company that they're not making bullshit?

specifically, like maybe there's a job for building autonomous flying sky taxis. you don't believe there's any chance they can pull that off, so this company is doomed in the long run.

like, it's not hazardous or wrong, they're not specifically bombing orphans or anything, but you definitely don't believe the company is gonna achieve anything.

Please remember this is the actual definition of Enshittification.

What Musk is doing to Twitter is just wrecking a platform thoughtlessly and without a plan.

True Enshittification is meticulous: subsidize the price to keep it artificially low, push out or buyout competitors, aggressively create a monopoly, and then jack up the prices while offering less now that people have no alternative.

Apple and Google and Amazon and Meta all made their fortunes this way.

I read this is Kotallo's voice and I think that voice actor would slay as Durge

What if the Dark Urge was a companion?

I love all the companions in Baldur's Gate 3 HOWEVER, I would've loved to see Dark Urge as a companion! Imagine the sweet angst and spicey scenes!!!!

What happens to him if you choose Tav over his origin makes me sad. So, I'm making this a thing!

that was fast 😳
