Btw this is a parody account

It’s more of a space for indie games without having the barrier of dealing with Steam and all that set up.

Like if I wanted to make a game about pooping in my neighbor’s yard, I can just upload the game to itch and have it ready for people to play. (Or sell it too).

With Steam, you have a significantly bigger set up. There so many more things to configure, things that a indie dev may not be ready to answer yet. Not to mention, it opens up the door to reviews and criticism from the “general gaming public”.

It’s common for most indie devs to use itch.io to test run their game ideas with a small crowd before launching it on Steam.

Nah. Our stupid ass government only recently started hiring hackers who smoke weed. But even then, there’s too much stupid red tape.

“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”

He points to ransomware actors, mostly based in Russia, who extracted more than a billion dollars of extortion fees from victim companies in 2023 while crippling hospitals and government agencies. North Korea–affiliated hackers, meanwhile, stole another $1 billion in cryptocurrency last year, funneling profits into the coffers of the Kim regime. All of that hacking against the West, he argues, has been carried out with relative impunity. “We sit there while they hack us,” Caceres says.

And also

It also doesn’t help that the Republican Party have outright praised Russia, which means they’re already inside.

Both sides.

I constantly call out juniors who do things like ignore warnings, completely unaware that the warning is going to cause serious tech debt in a few months.

But Ive also unfortunately shrugged after seeing hundreds of warnings because to update this requires me to go through 3 layers of departments and we’re still waiting on these six other blockers.

Pick and choose I guess.

Lemmy folk forgetting that not every person cares enough to switch OSes.

If you ever work tech support even at a basic level, you’ll see. It’s not even boomers or genZ. I helped a grown ass human who was my age at 40yo how to install a Firefox extension.

After the first 100, the other 300 kinda don’t matter.

spanked one 100 times

One 100 times or 1 time, but 100 times?

I volunteered at a summer camp in college and we had a $30 budget to feed 15 kids + 1.

I bought four Little Caesars $5 dollar pizzas, some dollar store big sodas, and had enough money for big bags of chips.

We made it work! 😭

Im from the States and the moment RadioShack went all in on selling Cell Phones, they died.

The tech wizards shared ancient stories around the campfire of being able to buy radio parts at RadioShack. I was not of that era.

He has a new book?

I love John Romero and read all the books about Doom/his life.

Can’t wait to check this one out!

My whole company moved out of windows during the pandemic. It was all forced.

And surprisingly, after a year, it was pretty smooth.

Push your IT folks to do the same everybody. The money saved is significant. And the learning curve is annoying, but not as annoying as managing Windows.

Google One was a pretty sweet deal on paper.

But unfortunately, Google’s superpower of making really cool things and then killing it off continues to exist.

Don’t have to imagine it. That’s most companies too.

I found my Green game boy Pocket and saw the 1989-1996 copyright.

It looks so pristine. 😭😭😭

They’re not wrong.

“Focus on your core,” Murphy said, speaking at an event organized by the Automotive Press Association where he presented the bank’s annual Car Wars report. “And China is no longer a core strategy to GM, Ford or Stellantis.”

Every American brand car in the past decade looks and acts like shit and is wildly overpriced. Foreign cars continue to outperform. And a few years ago, I would have gotten a Tesla until Musk revealed he was bat shit insane.

Users who purchased Redfall’s “Bite Back Edition” were promised additional DLC, which ended up being cancelled.

I am having an extremely hard time that there were many affected.

The moment Musk fired engineers, I removed my account. Then I watched Twitter integration fail for a few applications Ive worked on, and removed that login/access.

From there, I watched multiple services fail. Ive watched spam bots take over. I watched drama after drama, Musk demanding weird choices like his tweets get priority.

It’s such a mess.

Vouching syncthing. Easily synced 2TB files between three computers.

I dunno about that.

Just make it a narrative action game then.

If I see a game with a massive inventory, a bunch of stats, and killing monsters with my sword increases my sword speciality by 1… I’m going to have a lot of other expectations.
