I have been working for a consulting firm since early last year. I’m a programmer and this is basically my first “adult” programming job I’ve had since graduating and briefly working part time as a coding tutor....
Thanks for saying so; it’s easy to believe this is just how it’s going to be in any programming job and hearing how unreasonable this is from folks on the outside but in the field is encouraging.
Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...
I beat Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines for the first time on Deck. KBM controls bound to the system really did it for me and since it was a low spec game it ran flawlessly. And the game’s reputation holds up (well written and engaging but janky lol)
I subscribed and I liked what I’m reading so far! I liked their Alan Wake article and how it celebrated the cheesy elements of Remedy’s work…listened to all the Alan Wake songs and Take Control on my train ride this morning :D
My spouse and I have been doing some restructuring of our finances now that they have a new job as of a month ago. We’ve been doing an equitable split of our finances based on income which involved us taking inventory of everything we’re paying every month....
I don’t doubt many people have transitioned into the industry without one (judging from my time helping to teach a free coding bootcamp) but many jobs, including the one I have and the ones I’ve been applying for, do require a “Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or similar field”
I’ve said it before on beehaw but I work pizza delivery. You’d think it would be an easy job, just drive around and drop off pizzas and enjoy music, but holy shit the amount of pure hatred I’ve gotten from customers over the dumbest little thing is just insane. I had a guy call me, a white-male, a racial slur because we...
This hurt to read :( so sorry to hear! I don’t want to tell you what to do, but I’m glad to hear you’re making enough money that you can save it. Hopefully that can give you some freedom if you need to distance yourself from this job or this company in the future. Fuck, I wish people weren’t so awful to service workers
Well I only played Pikmin 2 before this and it was when I was a teen. At the time I didn’t finish it because I got intimidated by the mid to late game difficulty.
The way Pikmin 4 introduced elements over time it felt like a new start. The first credit roll wasn’t too hard to reach and now I feel like I might end up committing myself to 100%ing the game.
Also Oatchi. Oatchi is everything. I think it will be hard to go back to playing without the dog because it is so convenient. You can carry your Piks over obstacles, he can be an initiator tank in a fight, and you can divide and conquer by sending him to another location to guard or dig up treasure while you and your Piks do the work elsewhere. Plus he comes back to you on his own. He’s a good boy.
It says the records were destroyed; there were a lot of them
Furthermore that they kept the records for longer than they were legally required to which reads as an excuse for not having them
And also that they found some duplicates of the destroyed records, which reads like they chose which of the records they wanted to keep
There is a line at the end about how many records the department processes annually, but that figure is unrelated to this case and reads as an excuse for why they are unable to investigate themselves, but really, why would they?
I built a fightstick the other week! Mostly for Street Fighter 6, though I have played some other 2D games including Hades and River City Girls with it as well....
I don’t have videos yet, but I’ll post something soon!
It feels awesome. The action buttons have a great feel that’s between clicky and mushy and they don’t make a ton of noise when I mash them.
This was my first experience with a Korean lever. The stick actuator pushes on a silicone grommet which pushes the four directional switches. The result is it feels like the gate is a big circle while I still hear a click confirming when I press or release a direction. I find this makes special move inputs easier. The caveats are you need an adapter for the cables to work with a Japanese style stick, (which I bought with my joystick for an extra buck) and you need a 35mm hole for the “collar” and horizontal holes drilled in the mounting plate to accomodate. Fortunately Eternal Rival took care of all of that when I put my order for the kit together.
I like them a lot. Good action but not a lot of noise when I mash them, which was why I picked them (as well as for the look). Sanwa Denshi buttons are the gold standard, they’re installed in the classic MadCatz fightsticks and they’re pretty affordable. The Gravity buttons were about twice as much but they have got swappable switches for extra customization and I like the feel. I don’t think you can lose either way!
I got an enclosure kit from here with a multiconsole PCB (brain for controller). I did research on what buttons and joystick I wanted and ordered them from focusattack and arcadeshock. I liked that I didn’t have to solder everything and they gave me a useful guide for how to set everything up. I linked a build manual in another comment.
But you don’t have to go that way! Depending on your patience and engineering skills you could make a controller out of nearly everything. You could get a cheap PCB from a working controller from a game system you like and a joystick and or some buttons and stick them in an Amazon box if you wanted!
Or, you could do what my buddy did and pick up a kool-aid covered broken street fighter 4 stick off the street, clean it out, and put a new board and joystick in it! It’s up to youuu
