I'm in the second group.

Nah. Just basic Azure stuff.

Awkward is trying to talk about an amazing life-changing video game you just played to someone who's not into video games.

Indie game development. Except more full time instead of just on weekends like I do now.

I just tried to do a certification exam with these pricks a few hours ago. It was my first time and I was not expecting the degree of privacy-violating photos they would need of my workspace. I work in my bedroom and my desk wasn't clean enough. I think. I could barely understand what the guy was saying due to his thick accent. I think I got disconnected twice and just gave up. Fucking scam. All for a worthless piece of fucking paper to prove I can do the same job I've been doing for the past 13+ years.

The Messenger is also good if you haven't tried that one.

I didn't see anything in the bible that says you shouldn't smoke weed.

Worth it.

What I fear more than the tech is the idea that when most jobs are replaced with it, people will still be expected to find work somehow.

"Well it's not hurting me so it can't be that bad."

My cat showed up at our back door as a kitten and my sister was able to catch her and get her spayed. We kept her in the basement for a while away from the other cats, but I would spend time playing with her and sleep on a futon to keep her company (or maybe that was for my sister's dog while she was at college, but I think it was for both of them). Anyway, she was generally pretty shy around most people, but she was my best buddy. She spent well over 90% of her time in my bedroom.

She liked to cuddle with me, but usually only for a few minutes at a time.

We had to put her down less than a year ago. That morning was the first time I actually cried in over 25 years.

Just played Ori and the Blind Forest (and holy shit, emotional damage right in the prologue), and now I'm playing the sequel. No idea why I ignored those games for so long.

I loved the time I tried to copy something on StackOverflow and a fake ad popped up for a SO-branded copy/paste device.

I've been on three different ADHD drugs over the past 30 years. I don't know where I'd be without that, but I think I'm much better off than I would be without it.

I was on adderall for a little while back in school, but they took me off of that due to the weight loss (It was a good time for me though. I had hobbies and I was thin. Now I'm a lazy fat-ass).

Far Cry 3 was the game that got me to stop buying Ubisoft games. I enjoyed the game, but when someone invited me to an online match (something that almost never happened for me) I found that playing online required some U-Play account or whatever they called it, and it cost $10. I tried the free account code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So at that point I was pissed. I didn't play online often, but it would've been nice to play with one of the very few friends I had without being expected to pay more money for the game I already paid for.

Fuck Ubisoft. I hope that company burns.

La-Mulana would have to be one of my top picks. With the catchy music, the "fuck you" difficulty, and the classic adventure theme really makes it stand out in my mind.

There's !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world.

Too much paperwork.

A coworker once started a conversation with "I wonder how much it would cost to purchase a child".
