How to spot a ‘fake’ gamer

bonerfart:

  • Frequently pronounces video games as “Blideo Bames”
  • Will often say “I need help passing this level it’s really hard” then when you look at their screen it’s running Microsoft Excel 2007
  • They invite you over to their place to check out their game collection and it’s just every season of Frasier (still impressive)
  • Their Xbox One is actually a series of tissue boxes glued together with the word “NINTEMDO” painted over it
  • When you ask their favourite video game they respond by doing a series of skillful backflips, temporarily distracting you from having asked the question in the first place
  • Keeps a secret diary with “I HATE VIDEO GAMES AND I NEVER PLAY THEM” written on every page

HELLO MY FUTURE GIRLFRIEND

THIS TUMBLR ATE MY BALLS

Auto Layout still required after executing -layoutSubviews (iOS 7)

Got this weird error:

NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Auto Layout still required after executing -layoutSubviews. UITableView's implementation of -layoutSubviews needs to call super.

This crashes in iOS7, in iOS8 I just get weird layout issues (zero height and width view).

Turns out adding a subview to a UITableViewController can get weird (not sure why). So instead I added the subview to the UITableViewController’s view’s superview. Probably a terrible idea for some other reason…

JPA Repository using ‘null’ instead of ‘default’

So if you try to use a hibernate.dialect that’s not present you get some weird behaviour when inserting GeneratedValue columns.

I’m more surprised it doesn’t just fail outright. Weird.

Introducing Nihilcurrency

sandhillx:

Sand Hill Exchange is pleased to introduce ӾCoin (IPA /kaɪ kɔɪn/), the world’s first nihilcurrency – a completely valueless currency.

About ӾCoin 

It’s very simple – the ӾCoin always was and always will be worth 0.  ӾCoin is only available for use at Sand Hill Exchange.  

We are minting 21 million ӾCoin, worth a grand total of 0.  One quarter (Ӿ5.25M) are earmarked for circulation as rewards for Sand Hill Exchange users.  As of this blog post there are currently Ӿ18,942 (0.36%) in circulation.

These are the only ways to earn ӾCoin:

  • Users receive Ӿ20 upon joining Sand Hill Exchange.
  • Users may short sell startups to earn Ӿ
  • Users may earn Ӿ by leaving comments on companies.
  • When you hold a position on any startup that exits, you will receive Ӿ1 for every $1B of realized valuation (as determined by Sand Hill Exchange).

The remaining three quarters (Ӿ15.75M) are held in reserve by SHX, stored in offline cold storage for security.  We will soon publicize circulation stats in realtime.

About Nihilcurrencies

Cryptocurrencies have taken the world by storm for the last several years.  We’re eager for the ascent of nihilcurrencies.  The advantages of nihilcurrencies are numerous:

  • Unlike crypto, nihilcurrencies have no volatility risk
  • Unlike fiat, nihilcurrencies have no risk of inflation
  • Unlike crypto or fiat, nihilcurrencies would be persist in value during a zombie apocalypse.

Unlike cryptocurrencies, ӾCoin is centralized.  We believe decentralized nihilcurrencies are theoretically possible, but the mechanics for doing so are left as an exercise for the reader.

Sand Hill Exchange invented the nihilcurrency out of necessity.  Trading on Sand Hill Exchange is very fun.  But if ӾCoin attained even the nominal value of a mere Satoshi, Iranian rial, or Farmville dollar, our exchange would quickly become among the biggest threats facing financial regulators.

For this reason, if we ever learn of anybody trying to trade an ӾCoin for anything of value, we’ll kick their ass, and we ask you to do the same.  Keep nihilcurrencies free!

Vital Stats

  • Current USD : Ӿ exchange rate: 1 : n/a.
  • Inflation Rate: 0%
  • Pegged by:

Can I use nihilcurrency to bet on the size of the next fine that Sand Hill receives from the SEC?

Anonymous asked: When I support Gamergate its for reasons like we are seeing today with Mortal Kombat X. The press has allowed these companies to get away with this crap for years, failing to make them accountable for their shoddy actions. Micro-transactions, broken multiplayer, online servers being shut 18 months after release. Hold these bastards accountable, please.

dannyodwyer:

So Gamergate was set up to rally gamers to put pressure on the press to put pressure on developers to put pressure on publishers to stop taking part in shitty DLC practices. Got it. 

On behalf of the press I’d like to formally apologize for not using our influence to stop a practice, which despite half a decade of widespread vocal criticism from both gamers and the games press alike, continues to make publishers quite a lot of money. If it makes you feel better I made a video about how shit DLC was back in 2010 before I was in the games press, but I guess Bobby Kotick must have missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lgvLxSk9uk


Wow. And people wonder why I think Gamergate is full of misguided, naive, babies. I get about a dozen of these moronic messages a week by the way. Had to reply to this one though, just made me laugh too much. And cry, a bit. For the future of our industry. I’m sure gamers weren’t this dumb ten years ago. Or maybe the internet was just harder to use so we filtered all the botchlings out. Stay safe out there people.

Developer forms group to fight YouTube copyright claims

A new organization has been formed to help streamline the copyright process for makers of Let’s Play videos on YouTube.

WhoLetsPlay is a non-profit group being formed by game developer Lars Doucet, co-founder of Level Up Labs, whose work includes Defender’s Quest and Tourette’s Quest. The organization is named after a Twitter hashtag, used during the recent YouTube copyright sweep that affected thousands of video game based video on YouTube.
