Games / Re: IT'S OVER - Nintendo strikes down Garry's Mod workshop

I will say it's been super hilarious seeing all the "forget nintendo" reactionaries act up in the workshop in response; nothing says "stable member of society" like wanting to brutally disfigure random Japanese business men you have no true knowledge about because they (allegedly) deleted your Gardevoir OC dupe.

I personally don't wish any bodily harm upon anyone, but lets be honest, Nintendo is a real piece of stuff these days. The switch console itself is a flop in my opinion, it could have been a way better product. It still has the potential to be, but Nintendo is so far up their own ass they can't see the light of day

"Lol that's not loud" ~ Coworker that was in the army, repeated by other coworker who apparently shoots guns without ear protection

lol. I guess it works both ways, some people are deaf as stuff, and some are highly sensitive to sound (or certain sounds)

when I was younger one of my first "taxable jobs" was working in a grain factory and they required you to wear ear plugs even though the machinery in the place was relatively quiet. I didn't understand it. After working there for a while I realized the true purpose of those things was to prevent all the damn grain dust from getting into your ears...

There's a problem in the industry of mature, popular products becoming bloated with unnecessary features and getting constant meaningless UI refreshes.

this is so true. first thing that comes to mind is windows itself. not to mention countless other programs that have done this very same stuff. core functionality should be top priority.

There's nothing wrong with being safe & taking precautions to protect yourself on the job. Now, there are certain things some people can get away with like for example ear plugs - some people dont give a forget because they are already half deaf anyways and the sound doesn't bother them. same can be said about gloves, some people just have tough/callused hand skin so it doesn't bother them to go without.

I've done quite a bit of home and commercial construction/renovation related jobs and 2 things I always prioritize are safety glasses and a breathing mask - a lot of people underestimate how important these 2 things are especially if there are a lot of particulates in the air space, which there almost always are. I've made the mistake of taking my safety glasses for granted and going without them only to end up getting something in my eye somehow that day, which is extremely annoying. never go without the safety glasses, your eyes will thank you later (by providing you the ability to see stuff)

like the ol' saying goes, better safe than sorry

there's a growing movement that opposes april fools day pranks because "they're annoying". google being a big one, they haven't done a prank since 2019.
given that every big tech company wants to copy each other, most of them saw what google was doing and joined in.

even reddit didn't do one this year, and they always have something up for april fools.

evidently google quit doing it during the pandemic and haven't done it since because they are a bunch of snowflakes. even dumber is the verge saying "thank you"
