    There's an interesting effect that kicks in when companies named after a person start getting really big

    They either deliberately keep the name to appear smaller than they actually are, and imply folksy small business personal service

    Or they change the name to seem more corporate and carry more credibility with other large organisations

    Or they inadvertently advertise sexual services

    Next up on AGDQ is the Tasbot, (Tool assisted Speedrun) in about 20mins
    That is going to be some crazy shit
    They are also doing a 4 way race of a new short NES fanmade game, where 2 speedrunners have had a few months to practice, a team at ADGQ had 4 hours to write a tasbot file for it, and the internet at large also had 4 hours. That's going to be interesting.

    group member emails him to make sure a hybrid app is okay (so everyone can participate in development regardless of OS), he responds back that nope it should be native and it's no biggie, lots of times people on development teams don't get to compile

    Like, if you want me to Skoopy, I could e-mail your professor and tell him: "As an industry, no. this is a load of horse shit. developers always have accessible and productive development environments which includes the compiler for a particular platform."

    I'm actually specifically thinking of DH Mansfield, who we use at work

    If you're dealing with them on a corporate level, they're Mansfield Group

    Lol, so apparently it is a game about info security, which seems really like an odd thing to exist, so buffer overflowsband sequence breaks will be amusing

    I dunno, I think the point he makes about prospective students maybe being turned off by it is a good one, and you have to talk about Reddit to bring that up.

    I'd like to think that they might already know, but cannot use the reddit group as a credible source. Having non-anonymous folks like yourself explain their experiences and what they felt was wrong is better than pointing to a semi-anonymous venting thread.

    I would just say "the forum provided by our instructor is heavily moderated, so the students have needed to turn to alternative locations to discuss class projects and course issues." or something to that effect
