I just moved to the Thunder app from Sync myself. Honestly, I still think the Sync UI is better, but I also know it's pretty out of date. I know the dev often takes extended breaks, but I am tired of the complete lack of any communication. At this point, I have no reason to think that they are going to come back and push a newupdate for Sync. If they do, I will switch back, at least for a while.
Harry Enten boiled down Donald Trump’s current favor with the American people to one word: “awful,” saying the only president he’s beating at this point in his presidency when it comes to approval ratings is himself during his first term.
Based on what you said, these are not required for you to do your job, only for you to improve your position. It is not unreasonable for you to use personal time for self-improvement. It's also not unreasonable for you to use company downtime for self-improvement.
This is my biggest problem. I don't like the real-time combat. When I originally played the demo of part one of the remake and discovered it was real-time combat, I went into the settings to change it to turn-based, only to discover there was no such setting. Stopped playing pretty soon after that.
Ghost of Tsushima felt the same to me. Great characters and a beautiful world, but the gameplay felt bland. I was happy to finally get to the end because I didn't have to play anymore.
I'm also a programmer, and have long suspected I have ADHD. I have thought about getting an official diagnosis and trying the meds, mostly because I want to play games again, and I wonder if that would help me focus. I don't have any trouble focusing at work most of the time.
I'm in my thirties, child-free, work from home at a job I love, have plenty of disposable income and free time, have a passion for games and their development, and I still struggle to sit down and play something most of the time. I don't even (usually) play games that expect regular participation. The struggle is real.
God, yes! I don't actually know what any of the numbers are, but I'm convinced that if this hadn't come out during the pandemic we would have absolutely gotten more.
