I'm glad they've been able to do this, looks like a huge improvement for HD2 on PC.

I've been on PS5 since launch and aside from Baldur's Gate 3, it's been the best game this gen IMO.

The negativity I see towards the game (especially on Youtube) is weird. Some of the critiques seem legit but a lot of feels like rage bait, which appears to be a lot of YT videos around gaming lately.

Anyway, a big improvement for a great game. Seems like less of an incentive now to uninstall if you only play now and then.

I’m 48, started as a web dev at age 30. I’ve been at a non-profit for quite awhile so not big tech and not big tech $ but I like my job and coworkers.


LinkedIn does this and it’s gross.

I’ve unsubscribed from at least 3-4 different types of emails from them already.


Typically 0.5 to 6 (max) in a single workday unless there's something urgent that needs fixing.

I also have meetings during the day, learning I want to do, etc., that takes up my 8 hrs/day.

I rarely max out all of my hours in a day purely programming unless there's crunch happening for a feature release, which is not a good sign. If I'm in crunch mode more bugs than usual are being created.

I program less time now when I first started. I am more efficient and I take more time to think of the proper solution before I even start.

If I were job searching, I'd probably be doing a lot more programming and learning to brush up before any interviews. I am not interview-ready. lol


I heavily agree. It’s something I had at my first office job. I had no email address, no messaging app, everything came through my PM or manager. Ive never been as productive as that job. Straight to work with no distractions and had clear goals.


Can we stop seeing their job postings on HN every other day now?

I don’t know how you don’t get blacklisted after something like this.


The way the job postings are abused around here is a bit of a joke, there’s another company who has been hiring their third employee for over a year now, either they have someone and are lying as their first interaction with people or they can’t hire people or maybe they keep firing employee number 3 before they get any shares.

Who knows which one it is but I wouldn’t want to work with people like this. An easy solution is just let people comment on job listings, it will soon prevent abuse and allow people to get clarification and learn more about the work environment.


This rang a bell, so I went for searching. Said company is Meticulous [0]. Their most recent job post was on 2023-08-27. Their oldest job post that I could find was on 2022-06-07 [2].

They're on the front page again today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37463864

Not a great look for anyone who read these comments...


At it again today.


They are a YCombinator Company.

https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/flexport

The takeaway for me is "Yes, YC has a nice forum, but they're not a reputable organization."


They're a ycombinator company. All of the job postings are.


Why don't the job postings follow the karma system?


It’s a “perk” of Ycombinator investment. From what I understand the exposure is supposed to be the same, probably to help boost early stage companies.

I’ve wanted to comment on job listings many times, but it’s part of the deal of being on HN. This isn’t just here for fun, it’s here to promote Ycombinator and further their goals.


I do wish those posts allowed commenting. Would love to get clarification on the kind of role being offered, and see discussion around the company itself. Without that, they feel like an ad and draw similar amounts of interactions from me by default.


They don’t just feel like an ad, they are an ad. You might not interact with ads (I’m usually similar), but they may still get enough interaction to be worth it to YC.


Ah, so ultra-whitelist that crap behaviour then.

More constructively, it would seem the perfect time to demonstrate model behaviour.


If HN wont block it maybe someone can tell how to block these Flexport jobs with a ublock filter.


I'd personally be OK with hybrid or (near) full-time back in the office if housing wasn't so expensive near cities.

WFH has worked well for me but I can tell some of my coworkers really need to go back into the office now and then to help them focus. lol


I'm fine with my co-workers going back. I'm not going back, as long as I can avoid it. I'm certainly not doing so for their well being at the expense of my own.


Remember EverQuest?

Maybe I'm just old, and I don't get it, but I feel like EQ was way more addictive than Fortnite and explicitly developed to be so. The intermittent reward structure, the social aspect of it, etc.

Like someone else said, the OG of hardcore engagement maximization. I guess I don't have too much to add to the discussion but I think games have become _less_ addictive over time. Social media seems to have taken over in that regard.


Depends on what you mean by games. Do you include mobile games? Because those have the most revenue according to the Call of Duty maker. Also I kinda agree.


Chicago is a good choice but a lot of people wouldn't be able to tolerate the winter.

It can be brutal to get through. The bonus on the other side of it is that the summers are amazing with all of the public beaches and summer events going on.


You can’t have affairs and avoid your family if you’re WFH.
