    Most skilled engineers, and even mildly skilled engineers don’t use slopgenerators to write code. Some of them use it sometimes to do some menial tasks, although I’m not convinced it actually saves them time. It sure doesn’t every time we measure it.
    There is however a plague of low skilled people who convinced themselves that they’ve found a shortcut to being an engineer. Those people are producing bad things at a fast pace, and the only reason we’re not in an unsolvable crisis yet is that their slop isn’t hitting prod very often on account of being bad.







  • That is only there if you geek out about it. For a casual gamer, all of that doesn’t exist. You’re buying as nice “gaming PC” as your budget permits, you’re pressing “auto” in the settings, and you enjoy whatever picture and/or whatever framerate you paid for. For some years, most of the games run smoothly, then most of the new ones don’t look and feel great anymore, so you either buy a new computer, or play older games. It’s basically the same with the generations of consoles, it’s just if the game isn’t for your “generation”, on console you don’t get to downgrate the picture quality and try anyway.





  • If you don’t have enough technical skill level and experience to install a game via steam, gog, or (bleh) epic games, you don’t have enough technical expertise to do the same on any console, including ones that require you to just put a cartridge in. Pressing “install” button and waiting for a while to then press “play” button might be less complicated than figuring out which side of the disk is up. And that’s exactly what is required to play a computer game.
    It is not like-for-like experience, because a general purpose computer allows you to do a bit more than playing a game, but in terms of actually doing it, let’s not pretend it’s some kind of rocket surgery.

    It is a perfectly natural thing to do.

    Didn’t say it was unnatural. Eating each other is very natural. Brain eating amoeba is natural, cancer is natural. Hot shower and antibiotics aren’t. We recognize however that cancer we don’t like, despite it’s naturality, and medicine we do like, despite it’s artificial nature.
    Your weird, what I assume attempt at gotcha with religions out of nowhere, I am not touching with a gloved pole, it’s between you and your therapist.

    I know you’re probably not doing it for real, but I will answer as if you’re actually that alien that dropped out of parallel universe where suffering doesn’t exist, and trying to understand our customs.
    Killing animals for food and clothing in a world where alternatives exist, is bringing unnecessary suffering in the world. This can happen either because you don’t care about bringing unnecessary suffering, or because you don’t recognise it’s existence. Both are kind of the definition of bad.
