    Don't hinge any of your selfworth on dating/hookup apps. Madness lies down that way.

    Although true, the instant feedback of hookup apps can serve as a reminder of where your strengths are. I mean, the silly stupid dates I had gave me more confidence in my ability to be charming than any other social activities I took part in.

    is there a windows screenshotting utility that isn't an enormous pain in the ass?

    currently if I want to snap a screen I have to

    - hit Print Screen
    - open GIMP/Photoshop (wait 2 minutes for this)
    - create a new project and manually type in a resolution because these programs won't just default to my monitor resolution
    - paste, crop
    - export as an jpg or png
    - upload to imgur

    i feel like this process should be shortened

  • bloodyroarxxbloodyroarxx Casa GrandeRegistered User regular
    And these deals are just the run of the mill hotels too they work on our upscale brands too me and ladyroar stayed at one when we went to NYC.

    There is one in Boston but I cant find a date when my friend and family or employee are good.

    In Chrome, yeah. In Firefox it darkens everything, including the page content, so some pages are way easier to read in Firefox - but if there are colored page elements being used as buttons etc, then they are invisible in Firefox (because they've been overridden by black), so I have to open those pages in Chrome. And for popular enough sites like PA, Facebook, Youtube, Amazon, etc, there are dark Stylish plugins that give me the contrast I need without blackening out the parts of the page I need to see. So I basically have to switch between both browsers pretty regularly.

    Oh, no, this is a serious improvement over this time last year when basically all I could read was PA, and that only on my phone.

    Nothing on the internet is really beyond me these days, it just takes some extra clicks and inconvenience. Which, whatever.

    I kinda feel bad for Molyneux, it seems like a basic character flaw that leads to him overhyping and underdelivering, but he's just so goddamned passionate. But kickstarting anything he's in charge of is the worst idea. He literally has an unbroken track record of not delivering, why would you give that guy a pledge!? And then announcing his new thing while the current one is still unfinished is kinda gross.

    Oh brilliant
  • japanjapan Registered User regular
    If my experiences working with the partially sighted guy in our office are anything to go by, accessibility stuff generally blows

    Because of disability discrimination regulations the company periodically pays for the RNIB to consult on workstation setup and their advice has consistently been that almost all accessibility software is awful and you're generally better just going with an enormous screen and sitting close to it, so he has dual 32" TVs as his monitors

    They were also pretty scathing about our multi-million pound new software, which is web based but has formatting that breaks horribly outside IE or with larger font sizes/high contrast mode

    They said "it's like 1997 all over again"

    Some game industry types have kind of closed ranks around Molyneux to protect one of their own from the Big Meanie, and I understand that impulse on a human level - it's no different then when I see bros who "work in Hollywood" as like, studio accountants or set dressers or janitors get bristly about perceived attacks on their tribe - but I also think it speaks to what a soft, compliant press they've come to expect

    I mean, games journalism has never been my cause celebre since before gamergate or after, but some of the GODUS stuff was just so egregious and Peter Molyneux has been serially mendacious for twenty years now and I think with all that in the balance, sitting through a single uncomfortable interview is hardly a bridge too far.
