I miss xfire too.

So that’s what happened to them

I think at this point maybe Embracer should try replacing Lars Wingefors with ChatGPT instead

It is very doable.

Take a look at https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun - it’s what I use for this.

Getting flip flopped around like that on a timescale of weeks fucking sucks (I’ve been in that situation but not in game dev).

Just… being totally used and owned by an executive team that simultaneously wants to harness/abuse your passion, while also callously making snap judgements like this without any regard for respecting their people… it’s like “how to destroy morale 101”

Nah it’s “hehe his handle sounds like bussy”

The real “hate” here is anti-GNOME developer hate lol

Speed of light says no

Hnggg crenellations

This is hilariously silly, putting that on my Steam Wishlist hahaha

And it’s your fault if it happens to you, because we sent you EMAILS telling you it was going to happen!

Microsoft and Apple are both privacy-disregarding monopolistic megacorporations. The difference is Microsoft is slowly degrading in competence and their PR machine is no longer able to compensate

That was a good game, I used to destroy everyone at local split screen

Hopefully one day they remaster it in high refresh rate, 4K, on PC… but I’m dreaming, that’ll never happen

Mass media kinda already does this. Paging Edward Bernays!

Laptop form factor is very ambitious! Huge respect. I would love to give one a spin

That would be cool.

I guess my AMD Bulldozer TV PC is gonna have to go in the ewaste bin though. Its already stretched to its limit running Linux Mint, Firefox, uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock as it is

Much flatter in the northwest (Amazon Basin?) than I thought

Where you’re at now sounds particularly bad, but having worked fully remotely for a few years myself, it definitely isn’t guaranteed to be better for your work-life balance. It’s difficult to separate the two spheres for one thing, and you can still end up in a situation where you may get requests, messages and pings come through at any time, constantly.

I’ve worked for roughly half a dozen employers so far. In my experience an employer may SAY they value employee work-life balance, that’s no guarantee they actually will. They may also genuinely believe they prioritise it, but still fall hugely short of what other employers can offer.

Fuck burnout culture though. Also fuck teams that celebrate “heroes”

Yes and in fact I do. Unfortunately it doesn’t help with the sense of “rigidity” of the schedule and how draining it is

Yep, my experience exactly. It’s mostly because I can define my own hours when working for myself. But also - When I’m working for someone else there’s also a nagging feeling that I’m pissing away my life force if I go as much as a single hour over.

Yeah, that reminds me. I should take my stuff off it
