If you’re serious, study cyber security to start.

Then move towards devops.

Worse case scenario, you’ll end up in a 6-figure job making complaints into the void as you write bash scripts to speed up a pipeline by 0.1 second.

Best case scenario, you take down a massive criminal ring that sprouts back up like a weed a few days later.

I felt like I skipped this. People my age went to pagers, then sidekick phones, then touch screens.

I went from beeper, to flip phone, then palm pilot.

I must have had serious Wallstreet Stock Broker energy as a teenager.

I always have both an appreciation and judge people who do things like this.

I appreciate it because it’s neat that people are willing to go the distance for the fun of it. People who limit themselves to specific tech or libraries. People who code for old tech like those who make brand new “retro” games, or code for Pico-8.

Then the judgement comes in. Just… Jackie chan why.

I still appreciate the dedication!

Accurate.

Was headhunted for a position at Amazon. But the recruiter said “You might be doing more than your usual 9 to 5. (Min 40 hours)”

And I told her that I sometimes do like 30 hours a week and my team plays video games for the remaining 5-10 hours together.

And she actually got mad at me for saying that.

Anything you can share?

The movie Everything Everywhere All at Once really brought a tear to my eye. It ignored a lot of “safe” conventions and just went all in on making a really good film.

Outside of sports games & racing games, and Death Stranding & Monster energy drinks, what other games have ads?

Not being argumentative. I’m a PC gamer and I’m actually curious if there’s like Pizza Hut ads while playing God Of War on a console or something!

I am bottom Shrek.

You don’t watch a military movie and trash talk movie goers, threaten to bang their mom and then do a teabag motion when someone dies?

My wife, kids and I play video games together by sharing the controller.

We were playing classic SNES games together. Like playing Super Mario World or Super Metroid. My youngest isn’t really good at bosses so he hands it off to his older siblings. Where my wife likes to draw various scenes from the game so we can color them later.

It started during the pandemic but we do it once a month now and it’s been a great family bonding experience.

That’s not true. I beat Dark Souls 3.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

I’ve been riding for years but had to renew my license. The motorcycle tests now has a section where you have to find the motorcyclist in the rain.

And honestly, that section broke me. I love riding in dark colors on my dark bike. But I’d be god damn near invisible in the rain.

And I wished this test was forced on everybody (motorcyclists, car heads, hell even bike riders).

Huh. I was taught this for years as a rider.

Did some searching and well damn.

I don’t know the value of sex right now.in this economy.

I’m guessing that’s a lot?

Torchlight could have been great. I’m still annoyed.

Honestly I fell asleep playing the game… Twice.

There’s just something that makes me so bored.

My coworker plays those F2P games on her phone and she has shared that she’s felt guilty that she played this game for like 500 hours and haven’t spent anything, and considers throwing them $5-10 bucks a month.

She’s also the kind of person who has like 8 tv subscriptions.

The game is pretty good as of now. Not great. Not something I’ll play for a long time. But def solid 30+ hours of action RPG.

And absolutely not something where I’d spend any money on a fucking hat for my character.
