I have nothing witty or insightful to say, but figured this probably deserved a post. I flipped a coin between sneerclub and techtakes.

They aren't interested in anything besides "superintelligence" which strikes me as an optimistic business strategy. If you are "cracked" you can join them:

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

“you buffed this because of feedback but maybe a little too much” but I have rarely seen it used to mean other than “this needs a nerf, and I won’t justify my position, but I want to sound like I’m reasonable”

please never let me make the mistake of becoming a game developer; I absolutely would be the guy who closes this ticket with “fuck off gamer” and gets us review bombed by the worst parts of our playerbase
