Cue gamers being mysteriously harassed by glowies later down the line over things they've been flagged for and being denied mortgages, employment and bank accounts depending on the severity of their actions

Seems pretty mild, I'm seeing a grand vision of 15 minutes cities in which depending on your creds you might get relocated to another city in which you get grabbed on the train in between, with your public communication being replaced by generated text and video, should work to keep the normies in the dark for a while.

No, I dropped the novel around the same point. Doubt the anime will diverge from the source in order to make it better.

What happens if you already were a terrorist after the first GG, do I get to be a leader of the gamer terrorists?

And these legitimately evil employees are paid salaries from the revenues provided by their victims. If you’re a “gamer” who spends big money on cosmetics and pay-to-win mechanics, you are literally paying horrible people to make your existing experience worse so that they can then turn around and sell you solutions to problems THEY create.

This seem to be a recurring theme in modern business and politics.

Still the youth is damned, even here you will barely get push back against those practices, Even when you got indies using a older model of earning their keep, people will just gloss over it.

It is something i'm still pondering on how to solve.

Yea, the southern winter ain't so bad, its worse up north.

Tbh, this fear of winter is not something I have encountered much, then again perhaps its part of the small town behavior.

I will admit that it was incredibly depressing living out in "proper" rural Sweden for a while, when it started to get dark and cold. So I get that bit I guess. That sucked.

Well, it ain't so bad if you got a fireplace, some good books and full pantry, hehe. But more serious yea the winter is the time were people seems to be more willing to stay home rather than venture out much.

Hopefully you find the city winter life to be better and miss the modern new year celebrations xD.

It feels, no offence, but very Swedish, to me. To just assume that a system like this will work, because "people respect each other" and "that's just how it is". And then to sweep it under the carpet when the "system" breaks down, ugh...

Yes, most sweden system operate with expectations of human behavior that I am certain is not followed, although it was more followed before the new culture came aboard.

And as I said before sweden was inspired by and adored the CCP and as you correctly point out such system requires people to know each other which is alteast in the modern swedish culture very disconnected.

I really don't understand why the garbage room is locked up, but the laundry is just open to the whole building like that. That's bizarre, to me.

Most modern communal laundry system ensure that the booked time it is locked for the rest of residents, this does not however improve the situation of scrambling for time other ways to abuse the system.

Sweden doesn't really have personal/private laundries, like is the expected norm in most Western countries. Unless you're very wealthy, you just don't.

Today I learnt that I was very wealthy :D, More seriously though you are not wrong in regards to most apartment blocks got this communal laundry mat. But in later years this has been moving away to some extent and even some apartments due to the problems with modern culture has been upgrade to have it inside.

Still private laundries are nowhere to be found. And yes cash is almost not used by the old people these days and we are pushing the digital ID.

Example of communal laundry there was another video someone linked with example of the system (Government monopoly on alcohol) among other things.

Any country where windowless bedrooms (technically illegal in pretty much all Anglo countries, including the US) are not just legal, but encouraged, is no "socialist utopia", whatever the propaganda may say...

You want to have the privacy to evade the quarrel created by the booking and usage of the communal laundry, it also helps against people throwing nades into your window xD

lol now I think you're just being a major pedant, I haven't thought that far ahead with my post I just think $10,000 is peanuts in the grand scheme of things.

That is fair in regards to me asking for the unreal devs thoughts, the problem is that you do not seem to think at all in regards to this. It is an emotional argument and not a logical one. Which is why I'm not following it.

You have to look at it in the context of the scale that programmers work with, these are not low level paper pushers and they often deal with stuff that affects the entire infrastructure of a company and affect millions of customers. If you don't believe me just ask anyone who works in these field.

Many on this forum work in these fields or at least claim to.... But once more is the question how do you determine the value?

Thanks for the link, tips and tricks on reverse engineering is always a fun read. Even if I rarely get the time to use them later.

haha, that was a good one. Now I'm imagine their wet work division being the same as the modern AI coder.

Please tell how the developers of the unreal engine is thinking. I have not developed the skill to understand thought from code yet.

The point is this guy solved a major bug and I consider $10,000 to be a bit of an insult given the scale of the problem and it clearly was overlooked for years

So a major bug, that the product could live with for years and still be functional (I know functional is always weirdly requirement especially with modern games)? How much should a corporation pay for such a bug fix? a years salary? What incentive structure would you entail that would not make it profitable to create bugs?

Once more, did the devs force the bug hunter to hand over his code? Aka, did they made an offer he can't refuse?

Do you have the source for the source code pre fix? I would like to read this in its entire context.

MetallicBioMeat 7 points ago +7 / -0

I would have at least offered the guy a job for fuck's sake lol I just think it's cheeky they pay him that little given the type of game breaking bug it was and the fact that it was such a silly mistake. If they put him on a proper salary and everything he'd probably find all sorts of crap the previous developers left lying around.

So the role you want him in is QA? In that case the payout was great that he got. xD More serious though, Do we know if he was offered or not?, Were their negotiations about the bugfix pay? Or did the dev release it freely and they then were good enough to pay afterwards?

And just basing his ability to fix a major bug on whether not to employee someone, is a bit iffy, only reason it works todays market is that all other metrics are really shit which means most employees are shit.

I know I'm the one that brought up GTA but terms of revenue one of the biggest things that turned me off from GTA Online was the awful matchmaking. It wasn't even necessarily their design, there were just so many obvious oversights with the code like how to deal with players disconnecting and things like that.

This paragraph is a bit halfbaked, so pardon if something is misunderstood.

The role you want is more dev lead and architect which is once more not something i can determine is suited for the bug fixer.

Other than that it just a rant about the qualitative of their product which I do not understand still why they should be paying more based on their revenue.

As long as the bug hunter got the choice whether to hand over the fix or not and thus be able to decide if the offer was good, I'm happy.

MetallicBioMeat 14 points ago +14 / -0

So you should pay in proportion to your means? As mentioned above that is quite a good price for a bug-fix.

And how would you measure the exact revenue created? I don't know the details on this story but was the dev required to hand over the fix?

Haha, This is hilarious, not even the coders understand what they are doing anymore.

I mean the movie itself got the MAID program in it. So naturally this is perfectly fine, it was after all a documentary on how to solve the coming crises.

Fyi, Yakuza are very likely the same types that are operating scammy night clubs and karaoke bars that drug foreign tourists and take all their money so I'm not exactly a fan of them.

Hey, now that is how the immune system is intended to work xD

Still even the yakuza game had the theme of comparing old Yakuza with modern Yakuza with the obivious setting being that the more modern forsake tradition for money (No idea how much truth there is in that)

That is a shame, but is sadly the reality of normies. They are a reactive force which can be duped until the illusion shatter.
