Honestly don't understand this take. I am the "straight-edge" friend in my group, and I've always tagged-along regardless of whether they were smoking weed or drinking. You can always order a soda or a snack.

Cool, so you've outed yourself as someone not 100% against racial slurs. If Nintendo was a black-owned company, would you have done the same?

FYI, leetcode is not a "learn to code" website it is a "practice problems that will be asked at tech interviews" site. A lot of these problems are inspired by (or maybe are even literally from) interviews at "top companies" like Google, Facebook, etc. They are almost completely algorithmic or data structure problems, i.e. "unrelated to your actual work" (well, most of your actual work for most people).

My single ultrawide setup has treated me much better than the 2-3 monitor setup I used to have.

Awesome, so Japanese settings will soon be oversaturated in games. We already got Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima (and will presumably get a sequel), and whatever that other Monster Hunter style game was. We will also be getting an Assassin's Creed in Japan. Sounds like Santa Monica doesn't know what to do so they are following trends. Really don't think Kratos belongs in Japan.

Wouldn't you argue that putting hard restrictions would have the benefit of shrinkjng your recruitment team? To be clear, I'm coming from an extremely anecdotal point of view, but to me it seems like tech is full of imposters jumping from job to job, playing up their experience. Recruiters cannot spot these people, because they know all the jargon despite having none of the skills. This is why these technical interviews exist, but now those are even being gamed by people by studying leetcode. I'd be really curious what a high quality tech recruiter does vs the average.

We do require a BS in computer science

The only scenarios where I'd think I wouldn't require one are

  1. I want cheaper labor
  2. I am really desperate to fill a position
  3. The skills I need in a candidate are incredibly niche, thus I want to widen the applicant pool.

#1 and #2 are indicative of other problems in your company. I get that you can be a good dev without a degree, but from an employer perspective, it seems like an easy way to save time and money on hiring. I am convinced that a lot of money is wasted on recruiters who throw everyone under the sun into the hiring process just so they can justify their existence.

Tbh, this is the first non-From soulslike I have been interested in. Love the gameplay format, but if you're gonna knock it off, at least give of a bit more of a unique flair to make it stand out. There are so many FromSoft soulslikes there really isn't much room for games that try to emulate it too closely, imo.

It's not even that. Most previews/reviews say it isn't even really a platformer.

I've had similar issues, but with a 7800XT and only with variable refresh rate enabled. Don't know if that is caused by the same thing though

I find it funny he thought the resource collection was poorly done. Sure, it's a bit immersion breaking, but getting off the ship to walk over to a resource and hold down a key to collect a resource sounds tedious. I think the problem with some modern games is that they choose immersion over keeping players in the core gameplay loop, and this is an instance where it is nice to see a developer (maybe unintentionally) choose the latter. However I do agree that boarding the ship being limited to a cutscene is disappointing. That was a missed opportunity to expand the core gameplay in an engaging way.
