@GossiTheDog "Programming is so hard"

@GossiTheDog launcher is just a start. they're reportedly developing an entirely vibe-coded videogame https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-12/epic-games-delays-disney-project-asks-developers-to-use-more-ai?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc5MTgyOTQ5NCwiZXhwIjoxNzkyNDM0Mjk0LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUTVQ0SDVSS1YyVEQwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.rC824FbXuutjticK4TKijZtWW-ewDWvg6AIoVnPo5IA

@GossiTheDog Fucking skill issue. If you're a programmer who can't program then you're just a loser.

[theorangetheme@en.osm.town]

@GossiTheDog "Waaaah! Programming is hard!" Yeah, it's a skill. Some of us bothered to learn how to do it. Some of us even ENJOY doing it. Some of us don't treat our craft with contempt. Can't stand the heat? Get out of the chassis.

The only hard part about making a games launcher for linux is persuading linux users not to bypass it to run the game directly without being subjected to all the ads that are the main reason for the launcher existing.

The new vibe coded Epic project is great

10/10 slop

[distinctdipole@tech.lgbt]

@GossiTheDog Sloptastic! ‍️

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog I love that this shit makes it out into the world.

It makes me feel better about my "skill."

[clayfoot@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog What was wrong with the old launcher? It still seems good to me.

[nullagent@partyon.xyz]

How the actual fuck is shit this bad being shipped???

Corporate has completely lost the plot

@GossiTheDog

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog but hey, it starts up faster than steam

LMFAO.

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog Already gonna lol

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@maxsec2022 @GossiTheDog I do 100% organic, artisanal, white-glove, IT and Infrastructure work. Zero vibes. All organic.

[nosirrahsec@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @GossiTheDog I take shits faster than Steam boots, but I wouldn't ship my shit to people.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog is it functional? Who cares? We finally beat Valve at something that matters not fucking at all

[monkeyninja@10base2.dev]

@GossiTheDog I've been using the Heroic Launcher for a while now to access games from Epic since I game from a Linux system. To my knowledge they don't use AI in their code pipelines at all, and the launcher is completely open source. So for folks who maybe gave Epic their money once upon a time and want to continue to play said game without an AI monstrosity as a gateway, I can say that my experience with Heroic has been pretty excellent.

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@NosirrahSec @da_667 @GossiTheDog now come on, I think we all would ship our shit to *some* people.

[cyberquixote@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @GossiTheDog meanwhile gaben is like "im taking up throat singing"

[james_inthe_box@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @GossiTheDog And PSA you can still add their free games when a good one comes up to your account via their web site...just so you know

[jo@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog "Programming is hard" well yeah, thats why you pay your devs to do it…
