Half life and HL2

It wasn’t all that fun to me, and gave me motion sickness. It didn’t get into either of them

Look at what we did in Cambodia and Vietnam.

This unfortunately tracks.

We’ve always been the bad guys.

Because in a sea of massive uncertainty and chaos that’s around us today, China invading Taiwan in the middle of this makes the most sense out of anything that’s happening right now. It makes so much sense, that everyone has collectively realized it would be stupid for China not to invade Taiwan right now.

I mean, it’s really, really bad for the world, but it would be stupid if they didn’t do it and take advantage of what’s happening everywhere.

International law was never binding.

You mean a police surgeon?

It’s like this in England at least.

We should help build an action/workflow that checks all PRs against common AI slop/tropes of code posting and flags any that are AI derivative as “WON’T MERGE” until the PR submitter can prove that they submitted it without the use of AI.

Godot should have a zero AI tolerance policy on this stuff. No AI anywhere near the game engine. The Godot devs should start enforcing that.

Edit: Editing my comment to include some resources that could help with this in case people were interested:

https://github.com/peakoss/anti-slop

and

https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch

are two approaches to try and combat this.

Also it looks like Github is aware of the issue and possibly doing something about it: https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/03/github_kill_switch_pull_requests_ai/

But it remains to be seen if they’ll actually address it, given that MS is their parent company and they own OpenAI…

Hell yeah Portugal.

Now, pass some laws that are going to make it hard for PT MAGA to gain a foothold again.

Or don’t, and watch them come back with a vengeance next election.

Agreed.

so hot right now…

It is projection. Peter Thiel is the closest thing to the anti-christ alive in terms of his impact. Trump would be a close second purely based on his personality, impact, current, and past deeds.

TL;DR; the people who are doing anti-christ like shit, are the ones worried the most about the anti-christ.

Jetpack Cat was the original name of the cat though. It’s a tough corner they’ve backed themselves into there.

It was originally the model for Pharah, before they decided (Jeff Kaplan) that it should be more serious and not include actual animals in it (you have Winston, but he talks and acts like a human).

So they reworked the Jetpack Cat into Pharah and released her as the daughter of Ana.

Jetpack Cat is owned by Brigetta and is one of her emotes that she picks it up and cuddles it.

If they had named it anything else, it would have ruined the 10 years of lore they built up around it, so I understand why they did it.

The issue for me is that it’s a support character.

I first heard that one over 15 years ago.

Not a chance. Not even remotely possible if they have automated testing (which they do) and qa staff verifying features (which they also do), and smoke/regression tests after deployment (which they do).

I’ve worked in this industry for 30 years, and the chance that that’s what happened, immediately after a takeover by people who really don’t want those terms searched on, and the feature was released in that state, and stayed in that state without a hotfix or patch going out and it wasn’t caught by their own testers, is practically nil.

Lol, that’s not how it fucking works.

Key words like that don’t just accidentally get filtered out with a “bug”.

People need to get their teslas branded with a fucking swastika, Tarantino style.

Thats how its supposed to work.

That is absolutely not how it actually is working.

Heh, thank you. It’s usually not so bad, but figuring our all the assembly redirects needed is always a nightmare job.

Can’t wait until this this is on .net 8+ and we can use clean configs.

Or you work in an environment that’s still using Full Framework and ASP.NET Webforms.

These places exist, and they are unfortunately not rare.

Json configs read much cleaner to me since .net swapped to them a while back.

Xml is incredibly verbose when there’s a 12k loc web.config.xml
