No before and after shots, lazy writing, bad article.

DrLupo. I watched him a bunch when he was on twitch, but he got kinda arrogant and negative over the years. Now I watch the people he used to play with before he changed 🤷‍♂️

lol no, fuck X

…what? Yeah, 30% is the standard when there are higher costs and higher risks. Why would it not follow that Steam using the same percentage - with lower costs and none of the physical-based risk - is simply greed?

The issue with either is from the risk of popping/leaking: if your pillow leaks, your entire mattress might be fucked. The risk vastly outweighs the improvement

I’m not a weirdo, so I don’t. My friends don’t have to buy into my version of wasting time

But they swipe left on a whole… 3.5% of people! Super picky, that’s probably why

long term, it’s cheaper to just play games online on PC

The companies are clearly coming to terms with this, as well. I’ll be avoiding Sony games on PC for the foreseeable future - after the Helldivers debacle, it’s clear that Sony is looking for ways to monetize PC players.

You’re kinda both right - Dead Cells was developed by Motion Twin, who spun off a smaller team called Evil Empire to support it after release. Rogue PoP is developed by Evil Empire, while Motion Twin proper is working on Windblown.

When you realize your streaming services cost more than cable did

Someone never actually paid for cable, huh? Maybe if you had a basic plan with no channels and you’re now paying for all of the premiums, but that’s not really a valid comparison.

Eh, games have been $50-60 for literal decades, despite inflation and the massive increase in expected content. Everything else I can get behind, but games should be more expensive than they were.

Anyone releasing a roguelite last week or even this week is fucking braindead. I don’t care how good your game is: Hades is the undisputed GOAT of the genre, competing with its sequels release could literally only have negative results compared to delaying.

Yeah, at this point “Engineer” and “Developer” are 100% synonymous in the industry.

Smart. I’ve got at least a week’s worth of Hades left to play, and I literally hadn’t heard of this game. Now, I’ll probably check it out when it drops.

Ehhhh, depends on how your titles work, and I would argue that’s at least a little odd. Most senior engineers I know are ~50/50 code/oversight, at worst. Once you get to Principal or Staff, though, you’re lucky if you write 50 loc/week.

Senior rarely translates to something like architect anymore, it’s at least a level or two up from there.

Okay, I’ll just go back to suffering in silence, since I obviously cannot be on the spectrum without major suffering in every aspect of my life.

Fuck off with your gatekeeping.

Constant urges to nap and trouble getting up afterwards are both common (but in no way definitive) symptoms of depression. Definitely above Lemmy’s pay grade - you need to talk to a doctor/therapist. Absolutely do not take antidepressants without consulting them.

Being suspicious of people in hoodies isn’t racist 🙄 if you only got nervous around black people in hoodies, then sure, but there’s nothing wrong with being cautious of people who are concealing their identity. They might not be wearing it for that reason, but that’s still something it does.

Ehhhhh… I enjoyed V Rising a lot, but I also feel like I’ve already experienced everything that the base systems can provide. This trailer didn’t really show us anything new, just more of the same. I’ll probably get around to it at some point, but this really didn’t excite me.

I’m with you… after the first week or two, I’ve encountered literally 0 major bugs. A little thing here or there, but nothing that prevents me from completing a mission or picking up loot
