I've been playing The Axis Unseen. Framerate can be a bit rough at times, but some patches fixed the worst of it and made it playable.

I'd sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.

Pick things up and put them down, is my guess.

There's a reason my mouse has buttons dedicated to copy and paste.

I was still using one of these in 2008 to play music from my PSP.

I wouldn't say no to another Echo Night.

Oh please... We stopped researching that technology in the 40s. We never perfected it enough to make super soldiers.

3 months ago:

"Can you comfirm that each user account can have no more than one of these entities?"

"Yes. Definitely."

Today:

"Oh by the way, we have some users who need to have multiple entities. Can you fix it?"

We are your friends now. You don't need them anymore.

Did he actually say the words "cognitively impaired"? That seems like a lot of syllables.

I blame Fox "News" more than any foreign government.

Because I spend at least 30 minutes trying to decide what I want to do for the next 3 hours but I can't even find the motivation to play a video game.

Imprisonment for simply saying something that in no sane world would be considered a crime.

My boss is pushing the AI stuff pretty hard lately. I just want to write my own code.

I think this is the only thread where I actually haven't seen any of the games before.

Another game I enjoyed was The Eternal Castle (remastered). It's a remake of a game from 1987. The animation is great and the visual style is really cool.

The Looker was a funny parody of The Witness. Made me laugh.

I didn't migrate yet because I was five years into a project that I can only work on in my spare time, but you can bet that if I ever start another game, I'm looking at a different engine.

5 year old me thought it looked photorealistic.

I always like to give a mention to Your Spider. There are very few reviews (one of which are mine), but the game definitely deserves more attention.

I so very badly want to replace a judge's gavel with one of those.

Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of that site.

Porn starts a surprising number of careers.

My biggest fear is that my office chair might break in such a way that the hydraulic piston breaks through the seat and punctures my colon.

It's 2024, why in the hell is nobody designing skyscrapers with fun slides spiraling all the way to the bottom?

Turning living things into food is technically what most animals do every day just to live.

Kinda related:

I don't know if it's physically possible, but I sometimes think what if my office chair breaks and the hydraulic piston shoots through the seat and impales my colon.

Real Final Destination shit right there.

I got insanely lucky wit my job. I responded to an email that came through my college CS department about a potential job and got an in-person interview with the CEO of a tiny company nobody has heard of. The guy's personality made it easier to talk to him despite my anxiety.

Instead of the bullshit riddles that every other tech job interview has, he sent me home with a simple assignment to make a simple webpage where a user could log in.

After submitting that, I kinda forgot about it until several month later when I randomly decide to check my school email account and found an email from him that was almost a month old (my PC wasn't working before that, and I didn't need to use it much at the time).

I replied just in time. 12 years later I'm the most senior developer.

I sometimes start an email with "apologies for the delay" and just continue as normal.

That's how I felt after finishing Outer Wilds.

I'm kind of an idiot, you see.

Because thin-skinned egomaniacle dictators can't tolerate the free spread of information.

Weird thing I noticed about music is that the more I enjoy a song when hearing it for the first time, the faster I get sick of it.

Often, the songs I don't really like at first but start to like over time are the ones I can listen to longer (unless it's so bad that it's annoying).

I ended up installing LineageOS and have been getting updates almost weekly ever since.

The "Post" button on Lemmy before I finished writing my c

As someone who released a game on Steam, I had no idea what to put in as the minimum requirements. I basically said "screw it" and put in the specs of the PC I started developing it on because I had no way to test it on anything else.

Millenials are struggling because the previous generations fucked everything up, not because they can't figure things out.

My dad doesn't seem to know the difference between left and right clicking, but I installed Lubuntu to give new life to his old 2-in-1 laptop and he was pretty happy with it.

The only downside I've seen is that it doesn't do "tablet mode" anymore, and the touchscreen is much less functional.

Electric toothbrush. The hygenist often says she can tell I tell I take care of my teeth, but really, I usually only brush and floss once a day.

Maybe not that surprising.
