apparently some bumbling buzzy body beelined to beeing unbeelievably grumpbee over the buzz beehind this thread.

I could drone on about their crabbeeness with honeyed words, beecause it’s beezarre they don’t beehive themselves, but beevity is the soul of wit.

imagine playing a slot machine, knowing, on the next use, you have less than a 1% chance of winning big, but 5% chance of dying an excruciating death. or hell, imagine knowing beforehand you had a 5% chance of dying if you leave the front door of your house on a specific day - 5% is insanely high for the risk. or your family is in a group of 100 different families, and 5 are chosen at random to experience the most brutally agonizing period of their life that leaves a lifelong emotional scar from losing someone they loved.

I’m agreeing with you, but I feel equating the end result to a tabletop game just doesn’t communicate the appropriate gravity of the situation to others that may be reading through our inconsequential leavings in this digital void.

Captain’s Log: It is now minute two of hide and seek. Hunger is starting to set in, and I don’t know how much longer I can last before succumbing to starvation. I can only pray the others can find me in time.

sometimes there’s also the dev team prioritizing some reported things over others, within the same class of bugs, that might not result in a better end user experience (either from lack of foresight, or external pressures from sources like the publisher), but they definitely know most of the complaints before they became complaints after release.

my ancestors watching me open my contacts list because I can’t remember a single phone number (they’re really invasive ancestors)

when you get pulled in deep, no build ever feels perfect, and you keep chasing that dragon

“We napped uphill. Both ways.”

to add to this, ironic jokes where the irony is inside the context of what’s being parroted will mostly get people to jump in with the joke. One where it’s outside of it will get people tired of seeing others pretend to be dumb on purpose, and people that believe they legitimately are, to dogpile on it.

and communicating that irony on edgecases between the two is like balancing on a tightrope

and when they do, another will step up to take its place. such is the cycle of enshittification

and worse on top of that, they’re intensely motivated and well-equipped to hunt people

just get some good drugs thought encryption

but then I would be all out of fish

this is the type of comment I was looking for ITT. most of the others are just shy people that don’t realize most people would love to have conversations about niche hobbies someone can communicate any passion about.

if you bring this one up, the inevitable followup is either they awkwardly disengage from the topic, or they awkwardly ask to see what you’ve made

spite is a great motivator

the idea of a smuggler physically hauling contraband copies of Firefox into France just tickles me
