People who say “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole” vastly underestimate the number of assholes
Some of you are reblogging because you think its funny that programmers would talk to ducks. I’m reblogging because I think its funny picturing a programmer explaining their code, realizing what they did when they explain the bad code, then grabbing the strangling the duck while yelling “WHY WAS THE FIX THAT SIMPLE!? AM I GOING BLIND!”
AS A PROGRAMMER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING DO WE HAD TO BAN THE DUCKS FROM MY CLASSES BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD FLIP THE DUCK OR THROW IT AT A WALL OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CODE
so that’s the function of a rubber duck
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you first start working here now includes a rubber duck. We also have a bigger version of the duck for the extra hard problems. Sometimes one duck doesn’t cut it and you need to borrow your neighbors to get more ducks on the problem. One time we couldn’t figure out why something wasn’t working right so we assembled the counsel of ducks and by the grace of the Duck Gods were we able to finally come to a solution. These ducks have saved many lives and should be respected for the heroes they are.
I use this for writing, actually. Explain what I’m doing and what I want to do and the different ways i can get to point B from A, as well as the different problems, amazingly working them out as I explain why I could or couldn’t the different things. I love the Rubber Duck theory.
Former programmer, can confirm. We didn’t have a duck in our office so our other programmer, who I shared a space with, used me as a duck proxy. (For the explaining, not the throwing.)
There was more than one day where I’d casually hear “Hey can you be a duck for a minute?”
I got KO’d after the first the first three words of the first entry
Wow these are so fucking bad, and here I was, self conscious about my sex writing skills. I’m a fucking genius compared to these men, and I’m a virgin ffs!
It’s so bad, what even
What even are these????
I’m Asexual and I’ve written better sex scenes than these.
Bethesda is offering 500 in-game Atoms because of the Nylon Bag issue right now.
THIS IS A SCAM. It’s a Legal Loophole. Because they advertised and promised a CANVAS bag but sent a Nylon one instead, you are entitled to sue them for LARGE SUMS OF MONEY over false advertisement.
If you accept the 500 Atoms (about $5 irl), this is considered “compensation”, legally forfeiting your right to sue. It’s not because they’re sorry, it’s because they need to save themselves from getting sued. “We have no intention of correcting this issue” was their exact answer when questioned about the bags.
If you’re still willing to defend bethesda at this point, you are part of what’s wrong with the AAA games industry. You are telling these companies that you are willing to throw away your money for cheap products at a high price.
Holy shit it’s a fuking bag
A BAG
Calm your tittes and chill
Don’t be a little bitch
It’s not a loophole because when they release a million dollar game they usually can’t determine how many people are gonnna spend $100 on it
Here’s a thought don’t spend your money on a $100 thing if your just gonna complain when you don’t get A FUCKING BAG
Listen up ya lil shithead. BETHESDA BROKE 3 FTC TRADE VIOLATIONS. THEY BROKE THE LAW. The difference in value isn’t the issue, its the fact that they lied and are trying to avoid punishment that is the issue. THEY DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED. it might not be much to you, but it’s a SERIOUS ISSUE because if they get away with this, they’ll continue doing it. They could’ve offered a $10 gift card and gave you a $9 one, it doesnt matter. It’s the LAW.
And this one is because they changed the ad’s WITHOUT notifying the people who already bought it.
BETHESDA IS LITERALLY STEALING FROM IT’S USER BASE AND THESE IDIOTS ARE STILL DEFENDING THEM.
ALSO if you guys want to make a legal complaint and request compensation, whether its about the Collectors Edition or just not being able to refund FO76 at all, PLEASE goto this FTC website and do it 🙂 Dont let Bethesda rip you off.
I’m just trying to follow the whole thing here … I first heard that the game was total unpolished garbage and the issue was that, because it was digital only and Bethesda won’t give a refund for a game that’s already been downloaded, no one could get a refund. Now I’m hearing about the bags (which I agree is crappy). Is the latter being used as more a solution to the former? Was it just the straw that broke the camel’s back?
Either way, this just sounds like a clusterfuck.
I think it is. The Digital Rights thing about refunds makes this a bit iffy, but the bag itself can easily be used as something to hold against them for straight up false advertising and not willing to compensate their customers.
Bethesda has lost ALOT of good will with this shit.
If I'm your savior, then you're mine.
