Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

Direct message

As a dev who does the client talking, sometimes it’s really hard to avoid calling the client stupid. One time, while trying to confirm some stuff for a system, the following exchange happened:

M - Ok, so is this field mandatory?
C - Yes!
  * Shows off other stuff, comes back to that first field *
M - Alright, so the user will fill this field, which is mandatory
C - No! That field shouldn't be mandatory!
M - ? But you said it was?
C - No, I didn't!
  * Rewrite my notes, which the client saw me writing in the first place, stating the field is not mandatory. Proceed with the flow, come back to the field *
M - Alright, this field, is it mandatory, yes or no?
C - Yes!

There was also a different client that asked for a number of changes to a system, we did them, then, once he was supposed to test them give the final Ok, he came with “oh, we won’t use that flow anymore, everything changed” - My boss chewed him hard and left his request at the lowest priority.

Coming from their director of monetization, all I hear is “waaah waaah booo waaah”

All this nickel and diming is super profitable and it shows. Just because it makes them fuckloads of money doesn’t mean we should applaud it, because it awful for the customers.

but there’s usually only like 10 people on at a time lol.

That’s expected from a quiet “launch” and still needing old accounts. I don’t even remember which email I used for mine

Then just make a new kid yourself, mister/missus, and show you daughter how it’s done.

I suspect there’s a ripped version of Daggerfall that removes some or all of the FMV and that would give a significant reduction of space (much like AoE2 at only 170mb). The GOG installer comes at 176mb, so I’ve probably alloted too little space for it either way. Good thing there’s enough wiggle room in further reducing the size of either Worms or Doom mods

Also, the fun thing about going with FreePascal is that I could, in theory, make new GBA games to run on the emulator!
