Baseball throw it at the backboard with your best fastball every time you touch the ball.

Or even better, do the double play turn where you're throwing it without any kind of grab first.

If you're at the point where you're hiring an outsider to investigate, you effectively have an obligation to let them do their job. That means staying out of the way, because anything you do poisons their inquiry.

If you weren't hiring an outsider and were investigating internally, you still wouldn't talk about it in a fucking meeting until you know what happened. You talk to each person individually to get their account. "Interrogating" witnesses in a group both violates the privacy of the (alleged) victim and lowers the quality of their recollection of events because they get shaded by everyone else.

The fact that people weren't aware of the appropriate method of elevating complaints is bad (though not as unusual as it should be). The rest is pretty standard.

Oh yeah. I do have my og switch in the living room for this and occasionally play this.

Maybe if I can't emulate a switch game well. But realistically I'll probably just not play it. The switch isn't actually meaningfully smaller once you put controllers that don't make my hands want to be amputated on it. And even then the inputs (especially sticks) are way lower quality than the steam deck.

The game's great, but they should fix the inventory (is a complete mess, seems one from a game in the '90), the font size of the UI and they should let me see the cards/stats of every member of my party, even the ones which are in my camp, so I can decide what items or enhancements are best suited for them.

This is basically my only nitpick, too, playing with a controller. D:OS2 was better. I don't need the character stuff taking up half the screen of inventory management, especially when it isn't done in a way that really enhances your information on the utility of equipment to your character.

Inventory should be its own section, so you can use the triggers to hop between tabs of different types of gear. I'd also like it if they took inspiration from Elden Ring for what it does display on the characters. It's also not perfect, but letting you cycle which info sheets show in the extra panes provides a good balance between making a lot of information readily accessible without making it a chore to find.

That sounds like proper security to me?

For casual consumers, I guess. But for power users being able to download, modify, and execute code is core functionality. Shit doesn't work without it.

Really great article on the importance of UX to software development.

Digitization genuinely can be amazing. It means that (with proper practices) nothing critical is ever lost, key information can easily be accessed and communicated without risk of loss or duplication errors, and additional analysis can be quickly and easily done (minimal cost per extra set of data analyzed; it does take appropriate design and investment to design the algorithm), and a variety of other benefits.

But if you don't have a very clear picture of how the data will actually be used in the real world, none of those benefits matter because the whole thing is a pile of shit.

But besides that, what’s wrong with steamOS?

As a desktop? The immutable OS is a pretty damn close to insurmountable limitation. Flatpaks are fine for casual stuff, but they're pretty limited overall. Not having the option to genuinely install real software is an issue basically the minute you go from dedicated gaming device to full time PC.

Eh. This is part of why we got a guy with that talent, plus pick, for Smart and change. I'm not worried about them being conservative about basketball he doesn't have to play yet. I get that playing for your national team is a big deal to a lot of people, especially smaller countries, but you get paid a very comfortable 8 figures to play NBA games and that comes first. I think that's all it is.

I don't think he can still play.

The Celtics series this year was a great example. He did have one great game to keep them in the series while Embiid was out. But the consequence of that was so much fatigue he couldn't make a layup the rest of the series (and while they played good defense overall, he had his share of good looks that he just missed hard)

If they can find evidence of that, Morey should be banned for life and Harden should be banned for multiple years (only because they probably can't actually ban him for life with the CBA).

I sincerely give zero fucks about teams making promises about future deals in other sports, but the way the NBA is set up with the entire roster construction being about gaming ways to go over the cap, future promises are straight up cheating.

But yeah, I doubt you can prove it.

I agree with the point, but US-wise, especially if you aren't even the site actually as the source of truth for the community, you almost definitely don't go to court unless you counterclaim. If you get a claim and nuke the offending communities in response (assuming you don't have tools to block specific posts in the communities, but that would also work), you have protections built in.
