Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

So seemingly DigitalFoundry is under fire from an indie developer (Redout) for stating falsehoods about their Xbox One X support. The developer sites other sources who state otherwise to DF's claims, and DF has admitted seemingly that they will look into it.

Catch is it's hard to tell if it was deliberate, or simply not doing enough work into it, but I also recall other instances of this happening, and since DF is a source for the tech illiterate, it does have an impact on gamer perception to titles. It's most certainly not up to the standards you would expect of a publication like that, when they fill that need in the industry.

Imagine doing all this work over crunch times in a small team, and some guys you don't even know come out and state incorrect information about your game (If the allegations are true). I'd be fuming too to be honest.

More disgusting is the response from the viewers. Looking at the tweets and comments aimed at the developers, God no. Let's hope it never gets that bad here because man that is disgusting.

I suppose it just shows how while DF seems to do a service for the tech illiterate in gaming, they do get it wrong but as a result of being a source of this info they have (Intentionally it sometimes seems) angled it towards simply fuelling console wars, which does no one any favours.

Turns out accomplishing something as seemingly basic as making a power up to work in a game does wonders for my mood.

On that note the first power up is made and will be tested when fully integrated into the player!

Well, i got an email from a random website i had no idea even existed That wants me to contact them with the link they sent me... Something tells me the link will just download a virus (even though its impossible with the device i have) so i'll just mark the email as "Spam"... For some reason i post everything that go's on in life to this thread... Yep.

this is a better mexican dessert if you ask me.
some people like to eat sand and cactus but i mean hey.

Churros kinda look like cacti, now that you mention it.

Churros are like sunsets,
Beautiful,

I had my first churro at Disneyland in California almost a decade ago. I had no idea the things existed until then. The closest thing we have around here are those hard, annoying bagged ones....

@Meowpheel: I kinda wish you hadn't closed what I thought was an interesting thread, but I kinda see your point.

Surgery delayed by 4 weeks due to power cuts at the hospital...

Bummer. But on the plus side, you should be able to make that open interview now!

Summary of my day:

Oh I get it! You were watching Spongebob all day.... right?

Figured while I'm playing Ultra Moon I'll put my free time to use and enter the competition going this month.

Double Battles, no restrictions on what you can use save the usual suspects and it has to be hatched, caught, or received in S/M/US/UM.

Which means I've got a max stat Gengar ready to go

Well that was a fun interview.

Started with a 15 minute get 13/20 right basic (And I mean BASIC) arithmetic test.

Paltry for someone who studied economics and is a programmer.

Then a brief interview. How'd you handle X situation at a previous job so on so forth. Find out by end of the week.

Ok, this following question will be crucial if you want us to hire you.

4 + 6 = ?

the answer is jello

You're hired!

_{We need new test subjects.}

Wow, that whole interview sounds like it was pretty basic.

I think I prefer the interesting cake question a friend of mine got at one.

What cake question
