In the start of my career I felt that there was a sentiment around web dev that it's not "real" programming in a way. Not sure if that's the case any more seeing as the majority of modern develoment is for web platforms.
I've never heard the idea that PHP is a language used by web designers who migrated to coding, but it kind of makes sense. How PHP works, where everything is just HTML until the <?php tag comes in, made it so attractive as a way to add some spice to static pages. I cut my teeth on PHP and moved on to other languages later, so it makes sense that it would function as a gateway drug of sorts, also resulting in it not getting the attention from seasoned experts that other languages benefit from.
Calling dislike of PHP misogynistic feels like a massive stretch.. but maybe it's not considering how the designer/programmer divide also has a massive gender disparity. PHP has its problems, tooling being just one side of it, and its nature as a designer-friendly language makes it easy for elitists to mask their bigotry behind "objective" arguments that PHP is bad.
I've tried playing this game multiple times, but just got bored too quickly. The characters are all unlikeable in their own way and the game often goes out of its way to create conflict between them so you have to pick a side and gain/lose relationship points with the respective party member.
It's relevant enough for PC Gamer to be writing about it, so someone must've been asking.
This "dead genre" has been steadily receiving games the whole time it's been out of the zeitgeist. And it's popular enough that they were willing to remake one of the greats as well as its sequel. Things aren't dead just because you personally don't like it.
The links all go to the OldUnreal site, so I guess Epic has just left it up to the community to keep their legacy alive. Not necessarily a bad thing, but hopefully they send some of their Fortnite fortunes over to the maintainers.
I really love his videos! It usually starts with me thinking "I understand some of this, maybe I could do some graphics programming" and always devolves into "I am completely unable to do any graphics programming."
It seems like the AAA publishers don't know what to do with that type of mid-budget game that was the staple of the 2000s generation.
Spend a bit of money (not crazy much), make something fun with a bit of originality, and just put it out for sale. No complex monetisation strategy or pipeline to funnel people to subscriptions. We give you money, you give us game.
There are a lot of small issues with the integrated apps, the most recent one being the search in Apple Music failing if I type in more than one word. Another issue I've experienced that if I plug my USB sound card in I will have to restart any app that is capable of audio playback or they will play the audio too slowly. This bug wasn't there before 14.6 so I don't think it's an issue with my hardware.
In all fairness I've had some other bugs that have subseqently been fixed, but it has sometimes taken years and it's frustrating when the whole mantra used to be "it just works". Then again, maybe it never "just worked" and I've just forgotten about how buggy and bad it was in the past.
PC Gamer also hijacks your back button to show you suggested content when you try to leave. Trash website.
A thousand puzzles??? Man, I am too stupid for a game like this.
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.
Companies using "Got It" to dismiss their invasive popups makes me so irrationally angry.
"Frank feedback" is a diplomatic way of putting it.

What a legacy to leave behind! I hope he was aware of the resurgent interest in the Legacy of Kain universe before he died.
Been waiting for a sale on this. Thank you!
Have you found a viable alternative? I like how Kagi takes my money instead of showing me ads and lets me filter out domains.
NWN is a game I deeply love despite its many flaws. It's great to see that others are keeping it alive and kicking!

Was this the one everyone thought was boring? Or was it The Acolyte? Or the most recent season of The Mandalorian?
I do like me some Star Wars, but it's feeling like we're being oversaturating us with shows.
I loved the first Kathy Rain so I'm super excited for this! The other game from the same developer, Whispers of a Machine, was also quite good.
I really liked this game. Felt like the perfect length for making one introspective about death.

Judging by that screenshot alone I can tell this is too scary for me.
