just refreshed my browser and it loaded up the most hideously badly designed interface, which was clearly designed by someone who wasn't hired for their design skills...does anyone actually like that mess?

Thankfully i'm back on the old design...but every time i see the new layout I shudder as to why they think it was a good idea to force that on anyone...

Normally I would have gone and put this in one of the archive sites, but this article deserves the views, and maybe if it gets the traffic they might start doing better.

It slams it, beautifully.

some highlights:

A hauntingly bad new trailer for the studio’s next live-action remake promises a nightmarish procession of CGI dwarves

Several decades after shaping the animation industry as we know it with exquisite, characterful, cutting-edge feature-length fairytales that are still rightly regarded as classics, it has decided to squeeze out a hot fat turd.

More pressingly, though, there is the fact th

This past week I think I have had less than a handful of games where someone hasn't quit mid game...either during or just after the laning phase...do people really think that because they died a couple of times in laning the game is over?

after the outcry, i'd have thought they would have mixed it up and shown a different mc...but nope, seems they doubled down...

Seems to happen mostly when they realise their arguments are shallow or invalid, but are too stubbon to admit they are wrong. One final stupid comment and then a block. It's what the woke do. probably think that means they won as the other person can't respond...really just means they lost.

I'm not much of a life skiller in game, but for a bit of variety, and the extra 2 tickets i decided to take the random boxes on the event. I was able to do the fighting one in around 20 minutes, the fishing one got done when I went for a meal break, but i've spent a few hours and several million silver and i've barely seen any of the 20 Witch's delacacy I need for the quest. I leveled cooking from beginner 4 to professional 7, crafted 500 beer, 532 Vinegar (based on a suggestion I got while trying to google, supposed to make pickled veg with it) and over 2000 data palm wine (including crafting the essense of alcohol needed to make it) after a guildie suggested that is what they make and it d

anyone else receive a message from RedditCareResources? since i've only posted on KIA in ages, I can only assume it's someone being an arsehole and was wondering if anyone else has been hit by it as well.

Hope you all have a merry day.

I thought it was bad before, but now it's all over the place, and they have sourced over 300 opinion pieces as evidence to support their claims...apparently gamergate was a 'trial how much pushback a decentralized hate movement" would receive from the video game industry'

I find it hard to believe anyone could read that twaddle and think 'yes this seems accurate'...

On tuesday I started playing the new expansion for cyberpunk. a few hours in my screens went black, had some vague blue outlines, red text, of the world in game and the outlines of the windows on the other screen, locked up for a few seconds and then rebooted.

On the event viewer I get this error: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0x000000000000312c, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff8050800581d). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 4baf70ec-c898-4f21-a94a-1a48705bddb7.

so far i've tried updating my graphics drivers, running an sfc /scannow (there were a few corrupted files, but its still crashing even after they were

heard that song when in the supermarket on the way into work and it occurred to me, this is just Women Going Their Own Way...for men that is considered sexist...for women empowering...double standards...

So, I'm sure you have all heard of Chat GPT? if you haven't its an experimental chat system which uses quite an extensive intelligence model to be able to quite accurately respond to users queries. Its been able to generate code solutions that people have been saying its going to replace stack exchange. Its able to put together quite accurate answers to questions that a lot of students have been using it for assignment work. it also seems to be able to produce lessons plans for the teachers. And while its limitatations mean both these things aren't coming out perfect, it takes most of the work out of it reducing the time it takes...all in all, its definitely an interesting look at the potent

apparently an hour after getting an email, company devices started wiping themselves.

"The exodus of talent from this lay-off will reshape the whole technology industry as we know it.

somehow I don't think much of the talent will actually do much exodus, its the unneccessary fat which will be excised...
