it's almost as if churning out a massive "AAA" title every year involves making sacrifices that brutally compromise the primary purpose of a video game: fun.

you mean like that time someone copied the new version of dwarf fortress over their old folder and when they generated a world the playable race could inexplicably shoot fireballs, which sounded great until one of them fireballed a cockroach and set everything on fire and killed everybody? (before magic was even implemented in the game)

procedural magical is the best art

Or the time somebody discovered that cats were dying of alcohol poisoning. Or the fact that all adventurers have another personality that can't do anything but cry. Or any of the bugs from this page. Or possibly the fact that Toady's will specifies that DF will be made open-source in the event of his death, provided he dies by natural causes.

these bugs read like they're markov-generated and tbh that's probably fairly close

the real reason the skate games had such longevity is finding the funniest glitches was at least as entertaining as the main gameplay

It boggles my mind that anyone still buys assassin creed games

the first one? Amazing. Unlike anything else released at the time.
The second one? Better than the first in every way though the annoyances are starting to show (yes, please, playing as the extremely lame people in modern days was fun, lets keep doing this)
The third? Ok the formula has officially gotten old now I'm not going to buy any more of these game

what are they up to now, like, 7 games?

Black Flag is good.

• Inadequate client-side protections. We find that simply copying an Authenticode signature from a legitimate file to a known malware sample may cause anti-virus products to stop detecting it—even though the signature is invalid, as it does not match the file digest. 34 anti-virus products are affected, and this type of abuse accounts for 31.1% of malware signatures in the wild. We notified the anti-virus companies of the issue. Two companies confirmed that their products fail to check signature properly; one of them plans to fix the issue.

while i get the sentiment, this is the most bullshit thing ever. a lot of education doesn’t prep for a job like cso, it’s most down to experience

and then still, a company like Equifax is clearly not aimed at protecting PII, they cared about revenue above everything else, and they’re far from alone. the cso job is arguably the hardest for any c level, since most of the c-suite STILL don’t see the point

the cso of equifax was just some rich white woman who got the job because they're rich and white. they were hired to be a rich white executive and not a security officer. equifax, the company, doesn't see the importance of security so they just put any old rich white person in that position. i can guarantee they would not do the same thing for different executives; i.e. they would absolutely never hire a cfo who only has an mfa in music.
