@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
Did you load from flash or network?
You'll begin hating it the instant you're exposed to the moronic incompetence that they call the PSN Store.The game doesn't have physical copies. I bought it through the PSN Store, and it was fine. Certainly better than Nintendo's.
-
@AyGeePlus Does your smartphone have screws? Does your Kindle have screws? Does your MP3 player? Your Xbox controller?
No, I'm sorry, visible screws went the way of the dodo decades ago, now seeing one might as well be a billboard saying, "we don't really give a shit about this hardware!"

Oh it's great. The very first thing you see is a "loading" spinner followed by a SECOND "loading" spinner that looks slightly different for no reason.
And if you get any kind of error-- GOOD FUCKING LUCK!

Considering how shitty all of Nintendo's products are, that ain't a high bar.

@blakeyrat I watched a guy successfully top up his PSN account with money and then go try to buy a DLC. It swore his last sign in had been from a different console (it hadn't cared when he was buying the credit) and prompted him for his CC info. Which it rejected. Which it had just accepted to top up the account.
It was not possible for him to spend the credit already on his account. But he could TOTALLY buy more credit. Which it wouldn't let him spend.

I didn't pay that much attention.

I was fortunate I guess. We'll see how it goes in the future.

STATUS:
Cable company replaced the entire building infrastructure. Bye bye internet issues.
They also added a front camera, connected to a TV channel. So I can now perv on the neighbours coming in and out, without ever having to go out or, God forbid, speak with them.
Today was a good day.
-
@blakeyrat I don't know, I just pressed 'buy', put in the needed information, and then went back to what I was doing. By the time I looked back, it was installing, so I closed the store. It wasn't in any way a usability issue for me.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
hard drive is also failing.
I managed to fill the hard drive on the file server at work last night, or as much of it as I am allowed to use, any way. I ran a test suite overnight, and it filled the disk. Not surprisingly, all the jobs failed when they couldn't write to disk, but one managed to write a rather large log file before it died β some 5gb worth. The file contains about 300 lines of "normal" messages. There's a message about a closed socket. Then two lines about something it's trying to do and a broken pipe are repeated more than 40000000 times.

I don't expect he's controlling for the distribution of the religions in the sample population, either.

Status: Support (which has recently been thinned down) has decided development is available 24/7.
We have 3 developers. My manager has his phone on silent at night, and I don't have a work phone to begin with. So last Saturday 5am they called my colleague, who did have his work phone turned on. He was not amused.
I expect that's the last time he'll leave his phone on at night.

Status: It's official, Tim Sweeney has jumped the shark and gone full tinfoil hat.
Slowly, over the next 5 years, they will force-patch Windows 10 to make Steam progressively worse and more broken. They'll never completely break it, but will continue to break it until, in five years, people are so fed up that Steam is buggy that the Windows Store seem like an ideal alternative. That's exactly what they did to their previous competitors in other areas. Now they're doing it to Steam. It's only just starting to become visible. Microsoft might not be competent enough to succeed with their plan but they are certainly trying.
Sorry, dude, but Valve doesn't need MS's help to make Steam progressively worse and more broken.
-
@Rhywden And what does he expect they'll do? Even Nexon games can keep up with Windows. Bloody "The game crashes 2/3 of the times on launch" Nexon of all people!
-
@Rhywden Sounds like Tim Sweeney's been standing under too many chemtrials.
-
@Magus It's worth pointing out that I play this crash on launch game pretty much every day, because despite everything, Vindictus is one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played.

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:

I dare say that there are probably several high-ranking people at MS who are currently looking very closely at the contract details regarding the Gears of War series and who exactly owns the rights to it.

Outlook Web AccessOutlook on the web for office 365 is annoyingly "touch friendly" for running at desktop sizes. I'm so glad to have experienced this progressive interface. My productivity has certainly increased so much that I want to leave feedback even!(included gratuitous portion of the underlying desk due to complaints)

Only acceptable if it is out of hardwood.
-
@Tsaukpaetra My bank is doing that kind of stuff now on their website. It's really frustrating on the funds transfer screen, because the comboboxes to select source/destination account are not wide enough to display the full account name or number. As a result it would be really easy to mis-select without realizing, and accidentally do a $1000 cash advance from a credit card instead of moving something from checking into savings.

Oh it's definitely not:
What's funny is that this piece is the only part of the desk actually made of wood. Everything else is metal covered in laminate (I think).

@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
Does your smartphone have screws?
It has a shitty snap-on cover, and it continuously falls off. Every time you put it on or take it off to replace the battery or whatever it's damaged by the action. I had to replace the battery one time, and that on-off action tweaked the little clips inside and it never went on properly again.
Screws are excellent technology.
-
@AyGeePlus Ok well your phone sucks.
Mine has a single "locking" screw buried underneath the SIM card door, it's completely invisible but completely secure.
-
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
Ok well your phone sucks.
I mean that's also true. If you don't have the budget to do snap-together properly(and it's hard and I think stupid) do fucking screws. It's pretentious and badly designed.
-
@AyGeePlus said in The Official Status Thread:

Snap-on is vital to maintaining a sleek and thin design. Screws are too long and get in the way.

My cat is staring at me and meowing but I don't know what she wants. When I get up to follow her she walks into the kitchen then just stops. Maybe I have a ghost?

Agreed. If you have any, try spraying a misting disinfectant product into the air in that room and see if anything happens. If not, at least your floor will be kinda clean...

gotta swing by Maplin on the way home to pick up a lead for a laptop charger.
And they had it. Excellent customer service too; less than 2 minutes from going in the door to leaving again with it all bought. (Might've been around a minute; I wasn't really timing carefully.) All so that that particular laptop can keep not having an unwanted Win10 βupgradeβ applied to it; the owner doesn't want that because the software he uses for photo editing on it doesn't apparently like Win10. It's shitty software under the hood, but it has a UI that he knows and likes. (The Win10 replacement is the first time I've seen a piece of commercial software get a firm 1- review across a lot of reviews; stuff has to be bad for that to happen.)

To gain access to the Unreal Engine Source code you have to register yourself on their site first and then you'll be added to the EpicGames organization on GitHub.
Now someone decided to fork the repository and give everyone in that organization push rights. All 19k of them.LOL. 19k emails sent and even more for each comment on commits and such as everyone was automatically set to watching the repo.

I injured my right deltoid muscle at the gym a couple weeks back. I've been doing only light workouts since, mostly cardio.
Today I decide to try a few pullups. Hm, not so bad. A couple more short sets... Hey, looks like I'm healed!
Five or so normal sets and it goes "NOPE!" Owww!Fuck, I'm an idiot.
-
@error Maybe a visit to a doctor/urgent care is in order?

@Fox Not that bad. I see a doctor if I need a bone set or stitches/staples; otherwise, life threatening situations only. (I know, I'm the real .)
