„I Hate This Place“ im Test: Ein spielbarer B-Movie mit 80er-Jahre-Flair
Der Survival-Horror „I Hate This Place“ überzeugt im Test mit 80er-Jahre-Charme und netten Ideen, stolpert aber gelegentlich über die eigenen Ambitionen.
"Technical communities provide software businesses with an audience, a test bed, and eventually, a customer pool for their products and services, but this only works if the products are good enough to begin with. This insight was clearly defined by Guy Kawasaki, arguably the person who invented the field of Developer Relations, during his tenure as Chief Evangelist at Apple from 1983 to 1987."

All worry is laid to waste.
The endorphins rushing wild from the freezing water,
the music pounding through my body,
the caffeine,
the fucking ducks and the God-roiling sky
– no what-ifs,
no yeah-buts,
no what-abouts,
no caveats, at all.
I am made happy,
and that happiness is entire and incontestable.
And all the way home, I go
— to my beautiful waking wife

Still, even before this the only reason I didn’t refund this game is that I left it open while having lunch and when I thought about refunding it was already 1 hour past Steam’s 2h limit
Like, from the very start of the game you’re told to “uncover the code” of the revolution and then “the code” is a fucking huge blue arrow. I’m all for making things clearly visible, but at this point just use quest markers?
So here’s a little JavaScript initialisation order quiz.
Take the following code:
```js
class A {
constructor (parameters = {}) {
Object.assign(this, parameters)
}
}
class B extends A {
foo
constructor (parameters) {
super(parameters)
this.foo ??= ‘no’
}
}
const b1 = new B()
const b2 = new B({ foo: ‘ok’ })
console.info(`${b1.foo}, ${b2.foo}`)

Hummm.
So I was thinking about how with a couple of caster-boards and straps, the bed could be upturned and stowed in the studio. Probably? I should have figured for a fold-away really.
Still. Could work...
Then, without a bed in there, the place could turn into a dining room.
I was thinking about a shape of a table for a dinner party in there.
Oh my god.
This semi-circle table curve of wood and attachable table-legs and fold-able stools might just fit, like, under the bed normally?
Looks perfect for a card-game or a Dungeon Master setup.
Could that table and it's legs and it's chairs all fit under the bed? Probably not at it's current height. But I want to raise it a bit anyway.
🤔
Oh my god, look at this though. The projector is pointed at the wall behind the throne surrounded by the seats for the council of seven.
This could be built.
Not right away, but eventually?
Once in a while, when watching a video on my TV, the audio stream fails to start on the sound bar. Nothing shows that this is happening, but there's no audio.

I’m compiling my BEST ALBUMS OF 2025 list and I’ve put my fave track from each album on a playlist. I loved 91 albums this year.
As ever, this year has been a great year for music but dull year for chart music. Which is what happens when everything is under the thumb of only three companies.

This week's theme is songs that made you realize why others liked an artist. As a young adult, I was perplexed by Björk. I dated a few women in the 90s who loved her and I was slow and uninterested in listening to much beyond my usual selection of punk and ska. And then I heard this song and my opinion shifted radically and has never gone back.

This is what BBC news articles look like nowadays: Every single sentence is its own paragraph, and I absolute cannot stand this “style” at all. I suspect the editors only care about making articles look nice in the mobile app.

I'm... very confident DEC has never built an ARMv8 CPU core.
Is this just copy-pasted from earlier docs because DEC had an ARM architecture license in years past? Or is this license still valid and held by DEC's successors (I think DEC -> Compaq -> HP -> HPE, does HPE make custom ARM cores?)
