I’d recommend getting to grips with the fundamentals of python or JavaScript first before jumping in but Godot is a great open source tool for picking up some gamedev after you are used to the basics.

Switch 2 is selling at a faster rate than Switch 1 did at this stage in its lifecycle. The OG Switch is on track to be the best selling console of all time.

I’d imagine that this is entirely happening because xbox has collapsed amongst Microsoft loudly conceding this console generation and heavily suggesting future support for their consoles will be limited. This is catastrophic in an era when many people buy digital copies of games and do not want to be locked in to a dead platform. I bought a 2nd hand Series S as a budget console but will only buy games for it on deep discount or if they have a low sticker price; the result of that has been that it has turned into a retro games platform for me to play SSX3 and the old Dead Or Alive games.

PS5 Pro is too expensive for limited gains while the market for the OG PS5 will be saturated by this point. I’d guess that the release of GTA6 will increase sales next year though.

I believe it is still a criterion for changing gender to use the bathroom of the gender you are transitioning to for 2 years before the legal process can be satisfied. It sounds like the entire legal framework around changing gender is incompatible with requests like this.

For what it’s worth the supreme court decision simply found that someone’s sex could not be changed legally but that still shouldn’t preclude changing gender. Forbidding people from changing gender is essentially what is being asked for by these groups and society at large does not seem to have an appetite for that.

In the immediate future sex based legal protections do have the legal apparatus to trump gender based rights but it’s going to be implemented on an arbitrary, case-by-case basis. For example in the event that a trans person has a transphobic colleague of the same gender then the employer needs to provide facilities for both parties (as seen in a recent workplace dispute in Fife, Scotland). This is going to get messy where the NHS might have certain hospitals with this arbitrary need for extra facilities depending on people having the misfortune of transphobic colleagues.

Not much we can do after giving it back

My pixel 1 phone was fine. Went back to Samsung after that though.

Overton window appears to have shifted from a decade ago

I tend to put work dir under documents but yeah would be the same having a dev or local dir for code.

I kind of got caught out by this by attending A&E with severe uveitis. It turns out there are no eye specialist departments or referrals from A&E so it all needs to happen through private opticians. Personally did not realise opticians could do prescriptions beyond prescribing specific lens types.

My eye was so swollen that it ultimately needed atropine to unstick my pupil from the lens, in addition to steroids to fix the underlying condition.

Curious about the adult figures because I’d guess they are lower but obviously can’t say anything for sure.

Game dev is predatory because people can and will do it for free. Many “dream jobs” have this issue.

It was like 5 years ago but I heard a family friend working there was making 27k as a mid level dev.

It’s a business: They want to avoid controversy and this musician is controversial.

Sucks, because he is probably right or at least not wrong in his views, but this is the society we’ve all built together.

Maybe they are just a company… Idk how people even developed a parasocial relationship with it

Admittedly it is a pretty funny nickname but personally I find it amusing because he’s so non-threatening
