I have had a tendency since my earliest days on social media where I will get halfway or more through a response, and end up just cancelling it. Sometimes I feel like I’m just being to over the top with snark or otherwise don’t want to be that kind of person, but a lot of the time I’ll decide I just really don’t care...

I set up a test rig with Fedora to see how the gaming went and didn’t have any issues with Steam or a handful of AAA games. Of note though, my test machine has an AMD GPU so I didn’t have to deal with any Nvidia driver shenanigans.

Probably fired em. When you have more money than nearly the rest of the world combined, you don’t need to keep track of things like “finances” and “books”.
Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?...
Going off of what others have said, Google Translate recognizes the bottom line as “mother’s fine” in some form of Chinese, but it doesn’t recognize the top line at all.
I’m in my early 40s in the US. I learned to drive a manual when I got my license ~25 years ago but haven’t driven one since that day. I rode a motorcycle for a few years as well, so I’m pretty sure I could manage if I absolutely had to.
On top of what’s already been said, to your question specifically of what the devs are doing - a lot of the time it’s nothing out of the ordinary as the Ops teams are the ones conducting the maintenance. There will likely be a dev or devs on call, but that’s routine anyway so it’s ultimately just another day for them. Sure, when big patches are pushed they’re typically more attentive to the process - but even then, they’re essentially informed observers.

I lost my grandmother and dad to Alzheimer’s. I feel like it’s probably in my future, as well. It’s a miserable disease that makes me question a lot of end-care practices and my wife & I are absolutely going to have some strategies in place, but to answer your question we already have 3 beautiful children that I can’t imagine life without (pretty sure there’s an Alzheimer’s joke in there, somewhere). I certainly don’t want to put them through what I saw with my Dad, but I also wouldn’t want to have missed out on all the wonderful experiences I’ve had/will have with them on account of a “what if”.
Ultimately, the choice is yours to make but you’re clearly putting a lot of worthwhile thought into it and I’m sure whatever you decide will be the best choice for you. I’m sorry about your dad & sister, and if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here.
I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router’s wifi.

So first Blizz dangled these missions as the whole reason for OW2, then after pushing the new game they announced that “sorry, the single-player game was too hard,” and now they’re selling us the scrapped content they abandoned as a one-off?

Y’know, if he hadn’t fired all of his staff for this kind of thing then someone could’ve told them this is going to get meme’d to “ex” in about 0.06482 seconds. Oh well, time to grab the popcorn!
I am gonna start my last semester in CS so for me it was just generally games. I went pretty fast from the game dev aspiring route over to other professional areas in my HS years. What about you?
Kind of a roundabout answer to your question, but I got into tech bc of my love for gaming and specifically LAN parties. My buddies and I would get together and knew that hubs were needed (this was ~20 years ago) but didn’t know much else, so I ended up figuring out your to build super basic networks. That led to being a quasi TA to the IT teacher in high school and then to a very basic tech support call center job out of HS.
I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years now, and while not every job has been great there’s always more to learn and ways to grow, and I still love what I do. I even came full-circle and for a while got to work for the game developer of one of the games my buddies and I used to play at those LAN parties back in the day!
