That’s not how nuclear fission works.

Can you imagine working for this guy?

Dude will have a multiple volume encyclopedia of things in his brain which he assumes you will know, even when he hasn’t communicated them to you.

Go with your dreams my friend!

When I started, we made the very first internet-based games and I could tell you stories but I’m not here to pump up my ego.

Yes, games technology web, it’s all old hat to everybody now but there was a time when we were the bleeding edge.

If you want to do something that’s niche or off the rails or total unique, do it my friend.

Just do what makes you happy.

Also now I’m curious, what is this area that you’re interested in?

Well yeah… It’s why I got out of game dev. Too many complete fucking incompetents flooding the market. Some things never change.

Probably not. Call me cynical, but I think the last several generations of young developers got into the career because they thought it was the fast track to a long lifetime cushy job.

That dream hqs exploded, and now only skilled developers have work. So there’s a bunch of angry, unemployed, incompetent people who can’t develop their way out of a paper bag and wouldn’t be able to realize this plan of yours.

In Canada at least rent payments are tax deductible so you’ll get all tax paid on those monies back

I made the first 3D tennis game you could play in a browser.

Like, professionally, this was when I was the lead shockwave dev for Gameloft wayyyyy back in the day

I appreciate that, I’m not dissing the game, but I don’t think I have the tolerance. I appreciate you saving me some time.

The game is actually pretty cool, I just have never really liked story “getting in the way” of stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation, I gave it a try.

I’ve been playing for almost 2 hours and tapping through endless interruptions and pointless dialog boxes.

Does any of that ever change?

What I want to do is walk through a dungeon and kill things & loot.

Good comment, I’ll read it a few more times before I respond more in-depth.

But I think if this was real it (as currently understood) completely breaks the fundamental concepts of relativity and reference frames?

Probably going to just add more confusion to the blend than anything with this comment but…

It is my sincere belief that most of the quantum effects that are described are actually illusions. For example, short-lived particles arising from fluctuating quantum fields - if they actually existed we would likely observe some form of life harvesting that energy.

I mean hell, this is not outside the boundary of evolution, gecko feet use quantum effects to stick the walls.

I think a lot of this theoretical physics dealing with fields and virtual particles is the same situation, it’s only the presentation of an effect but not “real”.

Gog is if you are married to your philosophical choices, Steam is if you want a platform that keeps expanding

I’m sorry, it’s not a game suggestion, but consider getting a legacy steam controller, or getting the new one in February

I could only come up with three for now because it’s no small task!

• Squarez Deluxe

• TormentorXPunisher

• Quake IIx

I didn’t choose anything with crafting or making, because I can still craft and make things in real life. I chose games that provide something that I could never get anywhere else, and also games that for me are infinitely replayable. I would never pick a story driven anything because if that’s the only game I can play for the rest of my days, I don’t want to hear/play the same story 70 times, and RPG combat systems are easy to figure out and game after a while

Squarez Deluxe to me is the greatest shape packing game ever made, it makes Tetris look like Tinker Toys idc fite me. It’s probably three decades old by now and it’s DOS freeware and I still play it. Extreme mode only, my peeps

TormentorXPunisher is the best twin stick shooter I have ever played, and I have played hundreds of them. It has an infinite skill ceiling. I play every day and have done so for about 7 years. I was number two WR on hard mode until my protegé took me down, but I recently ascended on regular mode by 14 ranks. I’m so invested in this game I actually developed a friendly acquaintanceship with the sound engineer Joonas Turner

Quake 2 is just a granddaddy of all amazing FPS with again, an infinite skill ceiling esp in movement. I actually enjoy the movement of Q1 better, but the mod support of Q2 and upgraded engine makes it a game that goes on forever. Team CTF, rocket arena, etc

I think I accidentally posted to the wrong community anyways no worries

Nice! Must have been fun to make that

This is all a simple thermostat is. A bimetal strip that causes a contact to open or close. That’s all this thing does for a furnace, close/open the “be on” signal path.

Search “CIA jazz” and have fun reading!

Already own, if anybody wants my key lmk

I don’t know how to DM you
