I'm not a fan of review bombing, and I think it's current player score (2.2 / 1-) is an unfair result of that; the over the top backlash to the changes. That being said, I certainly wouldn't say the 86 / 100 critics

It's actually a pretty fun movie. It has references to lots of fun D&D history, including the old cartoon. I enjoyed it, my wife enjoyed it, and my daughter (who knows nothing of D&D and doesn't really like fantasy) enjoye

While I think "everybody" is stretching it... the general idea here is accurate. From my memory, the first two "rounds" of good D&D games on the PC were the SSI games (Eye of the Beholder, Pools of Radiance, etc) and

The low score is not completely unwarranted, though. The game itself is pretty wonderful. But the balancing and QOL decisions made by the developers has been; abysmal, and getting worse with each patch. It sounds like 1.1.1 is going to help

I've used that file before but... it always felt sort of hacky. And every time I want to use it, I need to figure out where it is. It really feels like there should be a more obvious, straight forward way to do it. Admittedly, "us

I'm of the same opinion as you, here. I generally have 10+ "extra" files in my project directory (output files, notes, one-off scripts for certain things, etc). When I add files to a commit, I do it by filename, never "e

Static analyzers are a tool. And peer reviews are a tool. And compilers are a tool. Being able to combine tools together (as I noted we did) helps you generate better code.

Where I work, we have static analysis tools.. plus the ability to "override" (tell the tool to ignore this case) when we feel it makes sense ("I know what I'm doing here"). And then peer reviews to help make sure th

Static analysis tools and peer reviews can catch different types of issues, though. Just like a statically compiled language can catch some bugs that a dynamic language would not; but not everything. I'm a big fan of peer reviews, and

Everyone learns to carry plates while growing up. There's a lot more to being a good waiter than just writing down orders and carrying plates. And there's a lot more to being a good writer than just knowing how to write sentences.

But you're not required, as I understand it, to take any of the jobs offered by the various gig work services. Factory work isn't gig work.
