This seems like something you shouldn’t advertise at the office

So what does Steam’s revenue share look like in comparison?

Really unlikely it runs well on steam deck specs anyway. Plus there’s usually a significant lag between their console releases and PC releases.

I wish I didn’t.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal if you’re wondering.

I’m starting to think that Kanye might not be the most stable person.

I’ve actually wondered about this. Given how many games a) have existing PC ports and b) are built using things like Unity that handle the input layer I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a lot more games that just work with m+kb than you’d think.

Yeah, I used a mouse for a bit on FF14. They’re plug and play, although they may not support extended buttons and such since there’s no installing additional drivers. Keyboards are also supported for any time you need to enter text! Pretty essential for MMOs.

Pretty sure that this will end up being integral to like…2 games, probably first party ones. Did you know that you can plug a mouse into a PS4/5 and it’ll work fine? Most players don’t care about that, either.

What is the strict topological definition of a hole?

Number of holes beneath the waist.

I predict that that will be…unpopular.

Yeah, waterfall would be “you collect requirements to build a rocket to Mars, 2 years later you have a rocket to Venus and it turns out they didn’t think oxygen is essential, they’ll have to add that in the next major release.”

Sure I’d rather face off against one lion than one tiger, but with lions it’s not gonna be just one.

They make it sound less like a bug and more like apple made a breaking change in how IAPs work.

Power dynamics is definitely part of it, and I’ve found that I have much better luck in interviews when I treat them as a conversation rather than just being grilled. It’s easier to do in your 40s than in your 20s though.

On the one hand the way corporations expect loyalty and devotion all the time in return for a very small percentage of their profits being paid out to us as salary sucks. On the other, having to work if you want to eat is just kind of…life? Not saying we couldn’t work on something better as a society, but there’s been very few people at any point in human history who didn’t have to work hard to survive. I’m glad that I get to at least do soulless work in an office which is mostly just boring instead of hard labor or something actively dangerous.

A lot of people with poorly developed social skills like to pretend that poorly developed social skills don’t make them a bad coworker. I don’t think I agree with that. Your job isn’t just the stuff you like. Organization, prioritization, collaborating and interacting with your coworkers, attending meetings and making useful contributions, just generally not being a dick…all of those are your job. Interviews often take place after they’re already convinced that you have the required background, so they’re largely interested in discovering whether you’re a good chemistry match for the team.

Can’t really speak to grueling tech interviews though. That’s a whole different category of thing.

In the 80s it was. Nowadays you’d have to pass a background check.
