  • I could pop cabal heads with [insert high impact scout, bonus if firefly] for days. Hell, I pretty much did on D1. Then D2, in addition to all the other bad design stuff to satisfy live service, also decided they wanted to try to dictate your gun choice in certain game modes with all the bullshit seasonal modifiers on untouchable enemies without specific perks.

    All I want to do is run strikes on the basic races by myself. But they can’t milk me for money like that.







  • You can run Python reasonably well with pythonista or Pyto (I like pythonista, but Pyto supports some PyPI libraries). Apple’s Swift playgrounds is pretty decent for Swift. They’re all only up to a point, but you can do plenty of actually interesting stuff with them. I use them on my current iPad (and run the Python scripts on my phone).

    But 4th gen is old, so it’s quite possible none of that works. Maybe web stuff with something like Textastic if you pay for shared hosting somewhere, or a low end VPS isn’t crazy expensive and lets you run code. If it’s consistent power that’s your concern, raspberry pis can be paired with one of those portable USB batteries if it can be charged and send charge at the same time.

    If those options are still too expensive, really no clue. It’s hard with no money at all.




  • The investigation found that Barrett called lower-level female employees attractive, asked them to play truth-or-dare and made references to his wealth and power within the studio, suggesting that he could help advance their careers, according to two people familiar with the case.

    In a statement to Bloomberg News, Barrett said that throughout nearly 25 years at Bungie, “I feel that I have always conducted myself with integrity and been respectful and supportive of my colleagues, many of whom I consider my closest friends. I never understood my communications to be unwanted and I would have never thought they could possibly have made anyone feel uncomfortable. If anyone ever felt that way about their interaction with me, I am truly sorry.”

    Uh…

    That might hold water if it was just casual flirting (though you should seriously be trained at any company near that scale that even that with anyone in your “chain of command” puts them in a really bad spot). But not for (alleged) open quid pro quo.
