Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You've just won a competition and now a major game developer has to make whatever game you want for free. No compromises. Your vision. Period. What game do you make?

In my experience reading is much more efficient than watching/interacting with a screen. It doesn’t need to be something thought provoking, might even be some comics if it suits you more. But written words have power because you make your own rendition in your mind.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you ever reminisce about an old phone you had in the past?
1·13 days agoI remember getting my Nokia 8210, one of the smallest phones ever, you didn’t need to buy a bag or bring a jacket just to carry the phone around… Incredible concept
Three months ago, I quit my job as a derivatives analyst to study janitorial science.
My mother cried. My father sent me a Wikipedia article about “sunk cost fallacy.” My college roommate texted a single question mark.
I didn’t respond to any of them.
I enrolled in the Custodial Arts Certificate Program at a community college in Fresno, where my instructor, a former competitive speed-mopper named Gerald, told me on day one: “The mop doesn’t lie to you. The spreadsheet does.”
Gerald has mopped the floors of three Olympic venues and one papal visit. He speaks about grout lines the way Yo-Yo Ma talks about Bach.
I am currently failing the Stain Identification module.
But here’s what I know: Diogenes of Sinope lived in a barrel and considered it a complete life. He told Alexander the Great to get out of his sunlight. That’s the energy I’m bringing to my squeegee certification.
My LinkedIn connections have dropped by forty percent.
Worth it.
The floors aren’t going to clean themselves. And apparently, neither am I.
Still studying. Still mopping. Still here.

Games@lemmy.world•Epic CEO Tim Sweeney suggests AI could've saved Destiny 2 and will "enable games like Destiny to thrive!"English
16·2 months agoToo bad Epic is kept alive by children buying skins and silly dances who aren’t old enough to care about how sick that company has become
Doesn’t seem to be plagued by the same limitations as mine… The problem must be somewhere else
What motherboard is it? I had problems with a 4-stick ddr4 configuration recently and found out the mobo didn’t have the same specs on all 4 slots 😅

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Epic CEO Tim Sweeney Criticizes Steam's AI Disclosure Requirement, Calls It "Irresponsible"English
15·2 months agoHe was a cool programmer, but just like Carmack, he is not meant to manage a company.
As time goes by, I am also increasingly convinced that it’s rather Cliff Bleszinski’s game design that made Epic what it was.
Indeed he is trying to impress you, and spending his money may be a goofy way of telling you how he feels without the need to speak.
He may not know how to word things gracefully, keep in mind that it could be stressful for him as well.
Maybe at some point telling him that you can buy your own things, and that it is not the reason why you’re spending time with him, could lead to a more constructive discussion… If you’re not afraid to have it, that is

If I were on the market for a new laptop, I would definitely buy from Framework
