  • When I was in highschool we installed StarCraft on the school network drive and played it fairly often. One time we were in the design class which has 1 set up with a CRT (I’m not sure why)

    Naturally, I launched StarCraft on it and that game fucking came to life on a CRT, the color vibrance was much better, and there was a higher fidelity and depth to the graphics.












  • basically where I work right now. our John sadly tried their best but the company did not hire any more engineers. he was the sole engineer for about 7 years and everything is built from the ground up by him. John came across weird issues and used a very stinky legacy language to fix those issues.

    about 9 years into his career they hired Andy and Andy tried to make as much sense of John’s code but it was challenging and for the next 5 or so years millions of dollars ran through an application made by 2 developers.

    anyways now I’m getting paid a lot of money because John does consulting and Andy found a way better job, but I also get the “house of cards” questions a lot.

    I think management thinks they can replace me as well because I came in here and things seem to be running after Andy’s departure.

    But if I quit or they fire me the entire company is going under as the next engineers in line will simply quit


  • To put it into perspective the player model shown when high level players play while have flashier animations which not only look cool but make the player look extremely nimble, it’s hard to explain but you just look way better with skins on to a point where players do make weird associations like “karambit is an awp skin”

    the reason why in the aforementioned association is because after firing the awp (bolt action sniper) players will draw their knife instead of waiting for the bolt to be reset.

    the draw is animated and on the karambit, the draw is exceptionally flashy, since this is frequently done as a legitimate technique (you move faster with knife drawn in cs) then people see the flashy karambit animation very frequently
