just testing in prod, business as usual

implying code can be ran elsewhere

Go green, only run one environment, production

[-] BudgieMania@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

You can say that again, at this point of my career I'm convinced that the concept of pre-production is a myth.

[-] SuzyQ@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Pre-prod is equivalent to the state of Schrodinger's cat. Both there and not there at the same time.

very valve of them

[-] Marcumas@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago

I don't care if it makes me sound like a grumpy old man, but I really miss the old sales where stuff would be steeply discounted for like an hour and then would go back to a normal discount. All the sales now are basically Black Friday bullshit type sales

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 15 points 11 months ago

Yeah, same. 90% discount is really a steal back then, but then i guess it makes sense because these sort of flash sales is only advantageous for people on one side of the planet and the other side will never get to see any sales.

[-] silentknyght@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I agree to a point. I also miss the excitement of those flash sales, but they were probably predatory--like gambling or FOMO--and I greatly prefer the modern game return policies---arguably what killed off those flash sales--which I can enjoy all-year round.

I remember running to the bathroom at work constantly to check the flash sales

Is the winter sale better than the sales happening right now? There are some games that I’m eyeing but I don’t know if it makes sense to wait to get them now. For example the devil may cry HD edition of the ps1/ps2 era.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 10 points 11 months ago

You can check with steamdb for the past sales:

https://steamdb.info/app/631510/

Here it says the discount is always the same for the past year, so you can expect the price for this sales will be the same as the next. Though for some game they will have discount for one sales but not the other, and some only join in for the big 4 season sales. If the price is right for now, just get it.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

Not usually. Most games have a regular price, and a sale price. That sale price is the same every sale now that flash deals are gone.

But nobody can truly predict the future.

[-] silentknyght@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

If you're patient, many games' sale prices slowly get bigger over time.

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I've been holding off on the most recent sales just in case something on my wishlist is even slightly cheaper during the Winter Sale.

I, probably like most Steam customers, still have unplayed games from previous sales. I definitely don't need to add to that even though I'm itching to try Dave the Diver and more. I can wait 12 more days.

[-] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

I really love the steam sale's artwork

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago

Bought the Witcher 3 @ 75% off this week. That'll have to last me til then.

[-] abobla@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

if it doesn't, just start the new game+

[-] NabeGewell@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It was a short winter

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago
