indie gamedev is spending 3-5 years working on a game with probably at least a couple other people and then you release it and if youre fairly lucky you gross like 20-80 thousand US dollars which works out to $5000 a person a year before tax. it's a very cool and sustainable industry
Software developer: "This task will take at least three months."
PM: "If one engineer needs three months, then twelve engineers should need only one week. I'll request additional staff. We will deliver the project on time."
@JoshGrams@lritter the reply from @\[email protected] has the privacy setting set to "followers only", and every reply thereafter as well, so no one but the mentioned people (or people who in fact follow those people) can see those posts
this type of thing is probably going to keep being a source of confusion, I honestly don't have a good solution there
“Karim Khan’s decision to seek arrest warrants for five people for grave international crimes committed in Israel and Palestine since October 7 in the face of pressure from US lawmakers and others reaffirms the crucial role of the International Criminal Court.” - Balkees Jarrah, associate international justice director, Human Rights Watch
“I have instructed the immediate establishment of a special command center at the Foreign Ministry, with all professional entities, aimed at fighting against the decision intended primarily to shackle Israel's hands and prevent it from exercising its right to self-defense.” - Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz
@nixCraft There is also, at least in win 11, other way to stop task-manager to update non-stop. Hamburger menu, Settings, and select Paused at real-time update speed.
@nixCraft MS once had great engineers/developers. So good that some system tools haven't fundamentally changed for more than 2 decades. Too bad they replaced them with marketing engineers
I'm at this stupid stage of the project when I can't randomly prototype anymore kuz I have specific plans, but I don't have a solid foundation to work with yet, so I have to invent it on the way, and it's hard.
Still, I'm making progress. Here's some grass spreading mechanic :)
@w7voa I bet the lobsters are happy, tho. One time my mom made me cry, when I was ten, by telling me about lobsters who visited the restaurants of Disney World. She explained to me that when they were being lowered into the soon-to-be-boiling water that they would exclaim, in small, cute, voices, that Disney World was supposed to be fun, and this wasn’t very fun for the lobster. Do not worry. I was radicalized before this conversation occurred 🦞
