That was what I thought five years ago. I was on the verge of removing it, and the android Facebook app killed my phone’s battery, so delete it went.

And suddenly all my family drama stopped and if someone needs to get in touch with me, how surprising that they still found a way.

😢

The first law of robotics never said the pain couldn’t be emotional.

Girl is doing her best and changing what she can reasonably change within her locus of control.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Oooooh Jesus Chriiiiist!

I was at a tech conference job fair and chatting with a bunch of former game programmers.

I absolutely messed up when I asked one guy who worked on a famous game why they decided to do X feature, and if that was the reason for the game’s failure.

He looked me in the eyes and said something like, “I get orders from the business execs. So even if their ideas are obviously bad, if I don’t do it, I get replaced. After the game is released, good or bad, I get replaced. If the game doesn’t even get enough funding, I get replaced.”

Gaming industry seems so toxic.

Nah Skirt Deku is work related.

I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.

Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.

Saved games can go:

• My Documents/
• My Documents/Games
• My Documents/My Games
• <app>/saved-games

Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?

My favorite part was when Trump said nobody died on Jan 6..

Her death was so useless not even the guy she was supporting gave a shit about her.

Missed opportunity to send them a link to this post.

Harebrained games made the very excellent Shadowrun games.

I’m not familiar with their other offerings. Honestly I just wished they made more Shadowrun games.

They shut off the Crew 2 and even planned on deleting the game from people’s libraries. They’ve added micro transactions to (I think) every single Ubisoft game in the last decade. They were pro NFTs and wanted it rolled out to games. Their Ubisoft launcher. Toxic and sexist environment.

Every few years, they make a better Assassins Creed or Far Cry that moves the open-world genre forward. But that’s the only positive thing I can say.

Doing minor “crime” in school was how I became a programmer!

Then if this game is compared to Skyrim, be prepared to hate it?

Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.

I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.

Envious. It averages 15-30 mins

Losing their jobs? Uh what?

This is a very rude question, but on this subject of being lean, I looked up your 990, and you pay yourself less than … well, you pay yourself half or a third as much as some of your engineers.

Yes, and our goal is to pay people as close to Silicon Valley’s salaries as possible, so we can recruit very senior people, knowing that we don’t have equity to offer them. We pay engineers very well. [Leans in performatively toward the phone recording the interview.] If anyone’s looking for a job, we pay very, very well.

But you pay yourself pretty modestly in the scheme of things.

I make a very good salary that I’m very happy with.

That’s pretty cool. But knowing the number would matter.

I have pets so an exposed dangling sausage can lead to bad results.
