Right of passage for sure (even for me in QA! haha)
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
Epic probably has some (there's a whole bunch of tools to help with syncing/reconciling and whatnot) and BioWare probably got better as time went on. I suppose I probably also just didn't interact with P4 *enough* that it was a huge burden. Or breaking the entire build in DA2 just gave me PTSD lol
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
Which isn't really an answer. More just an agreement that the integrations are so great I recognize that I need to basically interact with both tools (P4 and VS) independently. 🙃
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
Typically this yeah. Basically work with P4V and VS independently. Got burned *hard* on Dragon Age 2 actually by accidentally having a project file checked out (and being inexperienced with P4) in a check in of like 500 .csv files to help out a testing tool. So I am now SUPER sus at VS integration
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
"You know it when you see it" should be fine here right?
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
I just use P4V and VS itself. Because yeah

Running into a lot of this with certainly the Canadian elected government. I can't remember what UK Labour ran on, but if they didn't run on being utter wankers then they also satisfy the pivot to becoming giant wankers that no one wanted.

I think it's also entirely fair for someone to not have a viable alternative for a host of other reasons (it takes time/energy to look into alternatives) while still pointing out "uh this guy is a transphobe that's a no-go for me"
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
I think a lot of people enthusiastically supporting someone with pretty clear anti-trans perspectives conveys a lack of trustworthiness as well.

As long as I remained antagonistic towards them in a non-dismissive way, they would keep replying.
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social) reply parent
Very possible in some cases I'm ignored. Not blocked. But has happened a couple of times in the past couple of days of very loud "It has to be Newsom" people denigrating anyone that doesn't toe the line. I'm sure some people are genuinely like this, but also feels like easy place to foment noise.
Allan Schumacher (@allanshoe.bsky.social)
I'm inclined to believe this anecdotally, as I often get into it with people like this and if I can reframe the conversation to be "enjoy fascism then" (which they will say to me) for obstinately defending someone like Newsom, they stop replying to me but continue replying to others.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

Unless of course you don't actually care about those people and deny the reality that Gavin has been super transphobic lately. Couple this with examples of ostensibly progressive groups like Labour in the UK throwing trans people to the wolves, you'd do well to understand their perspective.

The choice is not Newsom vs Trump/Republican These are people telling you that Newsom may not be a good candidate to run because he won't have the electoral support that you'd want. It's giving a huge head start to find someone better than Newsom (not hard IMO).
