Honestly terrible, the Vita’s WiFi chip is lousy so even with a wired PC and sitting right next to the router the lag is pretty poor.

Also the lack of additional triggers really causes problems for a game like Zelda where you’re expected to use them a lot, you can use the touch pad but the lack of feedback makes it pretty unplayable.

Its a fun experiment though!

I stripped the exif data from the image… that’s enough right?

No, but seriously - I posted this to /r/gaming and the mods took it down in 15 minutes…

Take out is probably OK but as OP has experienced, you won’t always get the freshest food.

Dining in and you’re basically just annoying people.

Too late then, I’m afraid you got the crew who were more concerned about getting home at a slightly more healthy hour than giving you fresh food.

Never go in to any restaurant past 9pm unless it’s in a busy metro area and there are other people about or you are getting food that caters to drunk and high people that can be taken away.

Honestly, it’s 9pm so unless the store is 24 hours (and even if it is) then they’ll be trying to close down a clean up and get things ready for the morning shift which starts early.

When I worked at McDs years ago a few big orders deciding to sit in the restaurant around 9pm could mean the difference between getting to go home at 12:30 and getting an OK nights sleep vs getting to go home at 2:30 and getting a terrible nights sleep before they might have to come in at 10am the next day.

You could argue that if they didn’t want customers at that time then they shouldn’t be open - which I would agree with - but obviously the low level grunts making your food don’t get to make those decisions.

Quick PSA: they don’t currently block VPNs, so you can sign up for an account in a cheap country (I picked Nigeria) and use a foreign currency debit card (I use Revolut) to get Premium for like £1.50 a month for my entire family.

If they close that loophole then I think I’ll be done with it, the ads make it basically unusable these days.

If you want to move them elsewhere(or even just get a csv export of them) there are apps for that.

https://freeyourmusic.com will let you pay a one time fee to do it to as many services as you want, it’s a bit slow but it’ll get there eventually.

As a Brit this seems like such a ridiculous attitude to have.

When you go out for food you are paying for:

• Quality ingredients
• The knowledge and skill of someone to take those ingredients and make a nice meal out of them

If you’re dining in you also get:

• A nice place to sit with good lighting and a nice ambiance
• Someone to bring your food
• Someone to clean away your dirty dishes

If you are getting delivery you instead pay for someone to bring it to you.

The food itself is like 40% of what you’re paying for, the rest is just convenience and atmosphere.

I’m curious as to the last time you tried it? Apple Maps is a heck of a lot better than it used to be.

I think expectations have grown astronomically since 2004, budgets have ballooned, graphical fidelity and animation quality has skyrocketed, development team headcounts have gone through the roof and many games just have more systems than they did before.

Games are less frequent because they take a lot longer to make, I read the other day that Halo 2 was apparently churned out in 10 months, these days even games building on other games foundations such as Tears of the Kingdom can take 5 years to come out.

98 was incredible, besides all the ones OP mentioned they missed:

• Metal Gear Solid
• Sonic Adventure
• Resident Evil 2
• Sonic Adventure
• Grim Fandango
• Caesar III
• Unreal

Surely one of the best years, only possibly beaten by 2004:

• Half Life 2
• MGS3
• GTA: San Andreas
• Ninja Gaiden
• Halo 2
• World of Warcraft
• Doom 3
• Killzone
• Fable
• Burnout 3: Takedown
• Lumines
• Far Cry

So many amazing games!

Sounds like a good use for the Bee Movie script

Because job hopping is scary as hell (especially for developers who struggle with imposter syndrome) and job hunting is generally shitty.

What if I don’t like the new place? What if I can’t feed my wife and kids? What if I’m actually terrible at this and my current place is so stupid they haven’t figured that out? What if the economy tanks in the next couple of months and I’m out on my ear with no severance pay?

Better to stay put, accept slightly less money for another year and look at it again when I’ve got the time and energy to cope with it.

So is DuckDuckGo but with a few tweaks here and there

They’re not, I have a social group I speak to daily in discord, weekly over zoom and in person every couple of months.

My commute is only 20 minutes each way so it isn’t terrible, I would probably have a worse opinon of it it took any longer.

I’ve not been asked to do overtime so far, I’m not really too sure how I would respond if they asked me to do it.

I recently left a tech job that was 100% remote for one that requires 2 days a week in the office.

When I started the remote only job it was good, I had people I talked to on a daily basis, we did all our ceremonies (bi-weekly meetings) over Teams, we were pretty productive and there were few distractions.

Over time though they pushed for more people to be back in the office, but as someone who lived the other end of the country this wasn’t really an option for me. I gradually felt more isolated, I started dreading the ceremonies because everyone else could have proper human interaction and they often forgot about the one or two guys at the end of the Teams calls.

I don’t love my new commute - it takes too long, there is too much traffic - and eating out in the city is expensive, I’m often distracted because of office chats that really don’t need to happen, and I don’t get to take my kids on the school run every morning.

But I don’t get forgotten about and I get to talk to adults who aren’t my wife and kids a couple of times a week.

So far it’s working and I’m pretty happy, but I really hope they don’t start wanting more than two days a week in person.
