This is my new answer to the "what super power would you like" question.

Why do you want to put harddisks into an air purifyier?

For a time i had a black document suitcase as a school bag because i was cool. (somehow no one thought that was cool)

Throwing out my stuff that i was saving is a marriage-ending event.

The good thing is, they only need to put water in the top third, the bottom 2 thirds are lubricated by vomit.

your username shines in a new light after reading this.

not sure, but I do know that "flat design" is absolutely the fucking worst.

5 days too late; was setting up a new PC for a 10 year old, and we had to jump through all the hoops in the world in the terrible microS. family thing just so a kid can play minecraft bedrock edition.

If you think the new Porsche looks shit, do you blame the Mecanical engineer who designed the brake mechanism?

If your new manga body pillow gives you a rash, do you blame the graphic designer of the manga?

There is not a single thing listed in the meme above that is actually the fault of the actual developers working on the game. Don't even need to talk about the first picture.

game size is studio management related. They want to stuff as much (repetitive, boring) content into the game as possible. Plus a multiplayer mode no one asked for.

Optimizations don't happen because the CEO decides to take the sales money of the game this quarter, and not next, and ships an unfinished product.

How will twitter end? Will he sell it to someone else? or just fire everyone and close the doors?
