IXE. It’s new and fun

I was looking for 3 months each time. I have like 15 years exp!

The article (as far as I read) fails to mention the that layoffs have hit then entire tech sector. Not just games.

I lost my job (iOS dev and actually a games dev job) twice in ‘24. I don’t think it is necessarily a reflection of the games industry.

There are some really nice games this year, if you know where to look. I’m playing Uncle Chop’s Rocket Repair and it’s awesome. So fun, so inventive, great visuals, mechanics and soundtrack.

Deadlock has also gotten a fair chunk of my time. I scratches the same itch as DOTA and a little bit of CS too.

Creeper World got a new instalment, too. Different from the 4 mainline games, it’s new and fresh and fun.

What?!

Wicked is a story about how propaganda and political manipulation can make someone who is trying to do good look like the bad guy.

It’s about not trusting what you are told just because of who is telling you.

Elphaba never actually (intentionally) does harm to anyone.

Compare that with Darth V. How many thousands of lives has he intentionally taken by the end of his life?

So Ciri’s eyes and tolerance for Witcher potions show that she has gone through the Trial.

Given the OPness of her at the end of 3, I think we can presume something or someone has subdued her Elder Blood power and she took up Witcher power to fix things. (We can say subdued, because I think we see a small flash of Elder magic near the end of the trailer)

Hopefully CDProjekt don’t announce the wrong release date this time

Somebody do one with a non-Caucasian character that they change to Caucasian male. But don’t point it out.

You say “open ended” but it’s not. Project Zomboid has one ending.

It’s the simplest solution to get exactly what I want at all times.

“haha”

Is it just me or is that line incredible writing?

Like, can you think of a more Hobbit metaphor?

(Not to say the rest of the writing is bad, this one just stuck with me as Tolkien really got into Bilbos head)

Am I wrong in thinking that the second you start doing something for pay, it's stops being a hobby?

I don't own a Deck, sry baeb.

Pop! was my first choice also. But it's so locked down that if you want to, say, add another HDD the OS makes that a massive pain.

I moved away from it shortly after that.

I went with Bazzite. It’s built on Fedora and intended to be installed on both Deck and desktop.

It’s been working out well so far!

Running Ryzen 3000 and RTX 4000 hardware.

Milk cooked low and slow until it falls off the bone.

This happened to me. I tried to force the issue but it never felt the same.

Try some computer-related past-times. Blender is a great option if you want to learn how to work with 3d models. But it’s much more than that, you can use other people’s models and make digital dioramas or animations.

An alternate route leads you into 3d printing or industrial design. Blender is great for organic shapes, but something like OnShape is better for accurate part sizes.

You could pick up some programming, learnpython.org could be a starting point, if you have zero experience.

You could try digital art. There’s a world of knowledge out there for you.

Or, go do something unrelated to computers!

These things ebb and flow. Don’t force it.

Why do they shift from she/her to he/him halfway through the article?

Ai generated?

Many tvs have microphones built into them or their remotes.

Some are even sending screenshots of what they are displaying to their backend servers.

Not to mention the self image impact such things would have on women with smaller breasts, who (as I understand it) generally already struggle with poor self image due to breast size.

Wait, so I can just damage other people’s property?!
