It is popular because the devs posted that they were blackmailed by DEI consultants, and it blew up since most people are also fed up with it.


As always, the DEI bogeyman probably has little if anything to do with the success(or failure) of something.


The game and the story are good but are nowhere near as polished as some AAA titles (eg it has bad English dub). The DEI contraversies around it caused streamers to talk about the game often and served as advertisement (since the narrative was DEI vs Gamers).


there are literally memes about it


Was this blog post written by sonnet?


Critic time. This site is more enterprise-vanilla. Like many others you have fallen to the trap of using any dom api feature, without stopping for a second and thinking, "Do I really need this? Does it actually make my life/code easier?" The answer is no. 26 lines of code to add a single avatar image with alt text? This should have been a 1 liner.

You don't have to use every feature out there. Getters that return 1 element that will never change. Splitting what should have been 1 style.css into 5 different files. Too many "best practices" for "complex" software.


Let's make it 94 then. I think typescript is an abomination forced by java developers that don't want to learn javascript.


Guard rails on a bridge are an abomination forced onto us by government because people don’t want to learn how to fly.


Are you rich? Because you will have 1000 more career options developing server/javascript, heck, even mobile apps.


Why is this flagged? When cloudflare announces R2 there are hundreds comments praising their announcement-ad. Now that we get an actual review of what may happen, it gets flagged?


I wonder how the decline in personal blogs and websites (who even starts one today, when you can just be popular on youtube/twitter/instagram), affects rankings due to lack of websites linking to other websites.


We've fallen into some kind of long-form desert.

I used to read programming books not for a laundry list of features, but to get inside the author's head and start thinking about programming the way they did. It's not as simple as a simple declarative statement. Many times the author themselves couldn't express the value I got. I don't see how you reduce that any and I'm not sure I'd want to consume it if you could.


Blogrolls and Webrings are largely extinct unfortunately.

Even for the big media sites, they mostly link to other pages on their own website.


So, like react.js right now?



Cool website and notion, but, I mean, it's a fucking stone. There are like a billion of them, just laying around, older than all humans. I wish my life was this carefree. I will start my own stone lifting club, everyone is welcome, lift till you drop.


We pour concrete to make Atlas stones for specific weights knowing that these artificial stones will eventually be ruined by accident by the people who have a new interest in stone lifting. We also collect natural stones which may get ruined by mistake so people in the club can get used to lifting irregular shapes.

But when it comes to the historical stones, all the prep work above is so these stones are not ruined. It's a privilege to try to lift a stone that Irish or Scottish men would lift to become huscarls for their lord and breaking one out of carelessness is a loss for everyone in this hobby.


A lot of these stones are important cultural and historic artifacts with hundreds of years of history and culture behind them, and people traveling long distances to see and lift them. Destroying it is irreversible since each stone is unique.

It’s fine if you go out in the forest and drop a random stone, but don’t travel to Iceland or Scotland and destroy a stone with hundreds of years of history.
