Wait, wait wait. Enterprise wants me to pay $99 to enable the GPS in my rental car?

Really?

I knew about Cho, but the other one is... wow. Yikes. Many yikes.

GitLab has been reposting these two jobs for at least six months. With all of the talent on the market right now, it's odd they still can't find anyone. I'd say they're ghost jobs and they've got a candidate going through LMIA in Canada or equivalent, but they don't offer visa sponsorship.

Weird.

I made a separate account for all my author stuff (books, writer geekery, giveaways, etc.) so if y'all could give me a follow over there, it'd mean lots 💙

They're squeezing us for everything we can give 'em, that's what (:

Epic curbed unlimited PTO in the US and reduced PTO elsewhere to the absolute bare minimum because we weren't cranking Fortnite sh!t fast enough, instead of setting a manageable content schedule. Completely delulu.

Portrait illo of a woman holding her hand up to her chest. She has yellow tinted glasses, smiling with a deeply sincere gaze on the viewer. She is wearing a sheer turtleneck, black tank top, black pearl necklace and gold hoops. Her hair is a framing Afro. She is broken up from eyes to corners with gold slivers with bits of stardust in the darkest areas. Drawn by gdbee art in 2024 with paint tool sai

Fragmented, yet flawless

She has a what now? Who's the dude? I've pushed everything HP-related out of my mind around the time she came out as a raging TERF.

I can relate to this so hard. My new place has a 15-day vacation policy, and you get another 5 days after 2 years of service. Meantime... my colleagues in Europe are laughing at all of us.

Nought quite so satisfying as seeing a fella try ing to pick a fight and, instead of giving in to the urge to tell him to go feck himself, block and get on with your gaming session 👍

Russia will not win. Evil will be crushed.

I’m still having trouble getting conversations started here compared to that other social media app, so if you have questions about our game, Ghost, or our studio, FPC, hit me up!

A Unity advertisement that says "Avoid depending on fragmented services or specialized expertise that can increase overhead or compromise your vision."

Can anyone decipher this #Unity ad? 'Cause my tired-ass brain can't.

"Avoid depending on fragmented services or specialized expertise that can increase overhead or compromise your vision."

What.

DOOOO IIIIITTTTTTT

Ah, Dune II... the granddaddy of them all.

I'm doing a SC2: Wings of Liberty replay right now and man, I forgot how good that game is. Even the gimmick missions feel nice. Don't think I've ever found that kinda feeling since, not even with the other two SC2 games.

cops just do not understand how the. the Internet works lol

Fellow gamers, I need your help. Gimmie your favorite #RTS games to play. Could be old, new, 2D, 3D, don't care; I just want them to be fun.

My all-time faves are the Blizzard OGs: #Starcraft, SC2, #Warcraft trilogy. I've also finished They Are Billions on 800%.

Anyone have recs?

Oh they still haven't banned that guy? (it's the k**i f*rms human sh!tstain, right?)

Glad I'm not the only one noticing that. I've found myself holding back from belly-aching about small, inconsequential things AND doomposting. It's almost a reflex at this point, like, I write the skeet, then go, wait... and go do something else.

the popular-er bluesky gets the more it becomes a place people share really grim news for no reason. like not awareness-raisy or anything, just something fucked up happened somewhere, hundreds of shares, sorta thing. once again yearning for cohost

Genuine question, though -- why would they make a bot that does that? It feels a little too personal... unless the guy was into shady sh!t and there's something I'm missing.

Hell's Kitchen meets StarCraft 2.

"The zergling stew is raw!! It's RAWWW!!!"

100%.

SUPPORT. INDIE. GAMES!

Full stop

Hi my name is Dani Lalonders, I am a Chicago based game developer and the CEO of Veritable Joy Studios and I created this lil game called ValiDate! 😁💗

brag* (we need an edit button, dammit)

Anyway, this thread brought to you by nostalgia and too much coffee on a Friday morning. I miss the days before gaming was an "industry", but at least we're still here and still trying to make the best of it despite living in late-stage capitalism.

And sure, we need to live with shitty "games" like Royal Match (where the devs use some really fucked up psychological dark patterns in their advertising, then brags about all the money they made).

BUT, at the same time, we still get to play gems like BG3, Elden Ring, BOtW, heck, even Astro Bot.

Video gaming was a culture created by nerds for nerds. Then, the suits came, threw the doors wide open, and ruined it for everyone.

Thank fuck there's still studios keeping the magic alive for us OGs who put the fun, gameplay and story ahead of making a handful of corporate asshats even richer.
