  • Yes i played area 51. Both of these games are made by midway and continue within the same continuity but the only thing that really connects them is the alien virus and thats about it.

  • No thats the previous area 51. This is the lesser known sequel that is honestly so much worse than I remember it being

  • I already made such a framework and it was a glorious mess but everyone had a dependency on it. Ran that con for 4 years until the lead engineer said it has no value now all the users are sitting on a rotting codebase that our leads refuse to support. Now the thing is they didnt axe support because they were intelligent and saw i was inventing work they did it cos they legit dont understand the job we do. Outcome was the same I suppose so it doesnt matter. Now im part of a different wider spaghetti mess effect hundreds of people that im not allowed to do anything to but watch burn while getting flogged for not adding features to it fast enough while they say no to me fixing anything ever.

    It was a good time though. I was the genius and everyone loved my garbage.

    The fixing is supposedly the responsibility of our outsourced support team who doesnt actually do anything but sit on incident tickets for months then get us to unfuck it. Or if theyre bored break things on purpose.

  • Dont think for a second adding in qa and code reviews makes it better. Im over here with all the supposed quality engineering processes and its just more oversight more micromanagement more reviews from people who shouldnt be working here at all and it doesnt actually release better code it just makes the job slower and more miserable. I actually wanna go back to qa free cowboy zone because id at least get my autonomy back. Now all i do is make uml diagrams and argue with security teams most recent batshit take that makes me want to snap my laptop in half. Oh and our lead admitted that if theyre in a bad mood they just reject our requests as catharsis.

    Otherwise very much the same. Crunch time but not even sure what for or what were making. Just gotta make sure we’re looking miserable because making things isnt even relevant anymore its just a suffering mill thats perpetuated by having too much money and being too big to fail.

  • Well there’s nothing particularly special to wait for. Its fun for about 20 hours then it gets repetitive. Nothing they add is really an evolution its just the usual live service mill.

    Its balanced in such a way that the default set of weapons is good enough for everything and all the new paid ones released dont really add much. The content is largely the same except for some seasonal event or mission type that turns out to be mid af.

    There’s nothing really to get in to you just enjoy the spectacle for a bit, have fun blowing up your friends. Then quit because the game isnt actually any fun and more of a platform to grind battlepasses that dont contain anything worth grinding for. And then the bugs, terrible performance, constant weird changes and balancing patches to remove any and all fun.

    The most fun we had was the stratagem bug that let you throw them down over and over due to some animation bug so we could drop so many bombs the game would crash. And it was honestly great but the core game has nothing like that in it. Just grinding and occasionally the devs will invent an exceedingly bullshit enemy like flame shotgun robots that can shoot you with pinpoint accuracy from miles away but they have shields so theyre impossible to kill at range. Or the underground tentacle bug that instantly kills you and can seemingly tentacle from the other side of the map so is impossible to locate and kill. Or the flying dragon bugs that were just boring to kill with huge health pools but could melt everyone in one pass. General fodder enemies having too high health because the game is unstable and the devs had to reduce enemy counts so made everything tanky to compensate meaning 1 mag of ammo kills like 2 enemies. I think some of this is now resolved but it doesn’t make the game enjoyable.

  • The most nebulous meaningless job on the planet right now… software engineer. Also devops as well, and a scrum master, and a lead, and whatever other ridiculous role they decide to assign to our skeleton crew of needless torment. The job is trying not to kill everybody

  • My first job i worked at small company with some old boomer ceo but margins were razor thin and products had to succeed otherwise the company would collapse. Even though he was a massive asshole he actually did and enjoyed doing a lot of the companies work and knew what the product should be, then sold it and managed all the customers. Did sales did marketing shaped everything relatively well. So other than the pay being utter dogshit the job was actually quite fun cos i made actual products that got sold and used.

    Now i work in big business the leadership genuinely have no context or understanding of what the job we do is because they slipped in from consultancies where just lying and sounding clever is the name of the game. All they do is sit there and smugly repeat some buzzword or soundbite and look really proud of themselves while giving no direction at all. But they still love to micromanage? So they have no holistic view of anything but will make ridiculous demands of this small insignificant part of the work making it take months longer just to feel useful.

  • Yeah I think im gonna start doing that. I have the privilege to not be physically watched all day so i can work on other stuff in a corner somewhere. Problem is most of my day is useless calls and useless questions
