This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

I’m a software developer of about 8 years, and I do genuinely enjoy software development, but I do not enjoy the “job”. The concept of working on something I don’t really care about to make money for a company I don’t really care about when I hypothetically could be doing literally anything else with my relatively short time on this planet is frequently soul crushing. The pay does keep my family afloat though. I’m hopeful one day to find a field of software development that genuinely interests me or provides some value to my community or the environment. Until then, I struggle.

For Wumbo?

Is HotS included?

This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

The bubbles help with that extra clean feel

This game really was a lot of fun. Honestly wasn’t ever expecting to read about it again lmao

Been playing the beta version with controller support for a few weeks and it’s pretty good! I had a better control scheme already working using the deck controls, but this is really good for being able to just pick up and play the game on deck!

I use a hybrid. If I’m typing with both hands, and I need to be speedy I’ll typically use regular typing, but if I’m just causally typing stuff out or only have one hand I’ll use swipe. I like having the option

Most of my friends jumped off Reddit and onto Kbin/Lemmy for the week of the blackout. I think most of them are using some hybrid of Lemmy/Reddit now. I’m the only person I know that moved exclusively to Kbin, but that’s okay. It fills the same hole that reddit did, I don’t much care if other people I know do or do not join tbh

I’ve been playing Endless Sky, which is a free space sim (lite). Been really enjoying it.

I got stuck overnight at the airport with my Deck and this game saved me from falling in to insanity. Hard recommend keeping it installed in case of emergency

I recently gave up my 6t for a Pixel7 and it was the worst decision I’d made in awhile. I miss it so much, but the newer OP phones just aren’t any good from what I’ve been reading.

Ah man that’s a huge bummer. Thanks for checking in on that. Hopefully it’ll get there!

I’ve done some other xemu emulation for Deck and over all it’s pretty solid. Minor stuttering in Ninja Gaiden Black, but it’s completely playable

It’s been said, but deserves another stating: MegaMan Legends 3

This is my first time playing Freelancer, but I’ve dabbled heavily in Star Citizen over the last many years, and I love how you can see the roots of Star Citizen in Freelancer. It’s got that great atmosphere and aesthetic that you can see he’s trying to expand in his newer work. Too bad it’ll never release 😅

Well, you better go catch it

That’s exactly how I feel about it. This is literally the best quality this card will ever be in. There is no comparison

Does the fediverse need to consume all of the traffic that’s currently directed at other platforms? I think the best thing about the Fediverse is that it provides more options for online social spaces.

If I don’t like Twitter I can try something else. If I don’t like Reddit I can go elsewhere. It doesn’t have to be the exact same thing as those services, as long as it provides me an enjoyable way to consume information in my free time.

I don’t feel like the goal is to absorb all of the traffic from every other site though? Or if it is that seems misguided.

I’m very much enjoying my time on Kbin, even if it is janky and new and imperfect. All of that is actually kind of refreshing
