  • Often when I ask “why” too many times, it’s because the coder chose the most convoluted approach to the problem.

    Like when someone inherited an entire class just to access a single method, but it turned out he actually didn’t need that method, so he added an extra if statement in that method and a Boolean flag so it can do the thing he actually wanted.

    And this was someone who consider himself a senior programmer.





  • BG3 should have split screen coop on PS5.

    The problem with Xbox is that Larian couldn’t manage to make it work on Series S due to memory constraints. It takes a huge toll on memory if you allow two characters be on two parts of the map at the same time.

    Microsoft wants Series S to be a cheaper 1080p option of Series X. Any game Series X can play should Series S also play with lower visual fidelity. This turns out to be a flawed dream by the looks of it.

    I don’t think Microsoft will abandon this cheap 1080p console vision just because of one game, but they might need to if more games start to drop Xbox support due to this.
