Interesting. How do you find that out?

Mine is that, except they DON'T complain. Like when someone is showing me a YouTube video on their device and an ad shows up 30 seconds in... I lunge for the mute button while I scan the room for a blanket, clipboard, or other item to shield us, yelling "AVERT YOUR EYES!!" but next to all of my commotion, they're just nodding along placidly like "Oh Coinbase, interesting."

Like... Aren't you affronted that some company paid another company to make it less convenient to do the thing you're trying to do?! Does the gaudy, pushy tone change to too-loud propaganda designed to coax you away from your money not gall you?!

"Idk sometimes the ads are interesting. Free month sounds good."

Jesus christ he's too far gone.

Can we go on land yet?

Yeah, it's really strange. Talking about how it inspired a new generation of developers and stuff, like anyone had time to be inspired and start a game development career in the 3 weeks it's been out, lol.

What in the ChatGPT is this article? It's like someone from LinkedinLunatics paid an aspiring content writer to write a vapid hype piece but insisted that it be about 6x too long.

Here are some highlights (although it was hard to figure out which sections were the cringiest):

This new studio represented more than just a business venture; it was the manifestation of Feng's dream to create games that prioritized player experience over profit.

The team's dedication to authenticity was unparalleled. They immersed themselves in Chinese mythology, reading the classical novel "Journey to the West" over 100 times. They visited countless cultural sites, drawing inspiration from ancient architecture, art, and landscapes.

The impact of Black Myth: Wukong extended far beyond sales figures. It became a cultural phenomenon, bridging the gap between Chinese mythology and global audiences. The game's success inspired a new wave of developers to create games based on their own cultural mythologies and histories

Feng Ji: The Humble Visionary Despite the overwhelming success and adulation, Feng Ji remained characteristically humble. When asked about the game's achievements, he responded with a touch of philosophy: "When you are at the peak of confidence, you are also staring at the valley of foolishness. This statement encapsulated Feng's approach to game development and success. Rather than resting on his laurels, he immediately turned his attention to the future, focusing on expansion packs and maintaining the game's quality

Jesus christ tone it down.

"Why do you have all of these screenshots of this thong witch squeezing some NPC's head with her thighs?"

Oh uh it was for a joke post I made just as a joke. I can probably just delete them now, I just forgot.

Well I wasn't gonna post all 82 but I just wanted to make sure I got the best by which I mean funniest angles. For the joke, you see.

+1 for "it's unusably slow!"

I tried this last year with Linux Mint, and I learned that a normal USB drive just doesn't have the read/write speed to even e.g. operate Firefox smoothly. There are different ways to address that, none of which really did the trick for me, so the best bet is to just get a drive with the fastest read/write rate possible. I've heard that it can run tolerably well on one of those more performant drives, but I didn't try it myself.

Imagine interpreting that as advice on how you should try to design things, lol.

Tbf, I think most of the post is just typical LinkedIn fluff, but I didn't want to take the poor fellow out of context.
