What a weird place for it to fall into the ocean.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well at least better then a fire at a sea parks.

I mean, if she has said that her parent are drowned, I'd be the happiest man in the world. But, a fire?

If only they have called emergency services.

They have such a memorable new number.

For non-Americans, Fort Wayne is very, very far from the ocean. Like a long distance, then over a huge mountain range and then another long distance.

If it is a package from China it wouldnt change anything right?

I would think that no matter where it's coming from, falling into the ocean in Fort Wayne would be a neat trick.

clipped through the terrain and fell to the bottom of the map where the global water level is set at

Thats what happens when you cheap out on map designers and have one old guy do everything that grew up in a time before computers were a thing even. Oh and of course he is also the only guy programming and maintaining the engine, has to do all the character conception and management demands some immersive sandbox experience with particle physics down to quantum level.

No wonder the updates just get shittier and shittier.

Nah, they didn't grow up before computers: they were programing mainframes in the 60s. Those programmers can write you an absolute masterpiece of software ... in COBOL. Also, they don't bother with documentation because they're intimately familiar with every line of code considering they created the whole system from scratch 40 years ago.

The point at when you're "screwed" is when they retire and some poor bastard inherits an inscrutably complex system, written in a 60 year old language no one uses anymore, and with zero documentation.
