“game dev” is a way to put it

I just love how the Elliot is like “I’m so lonely and depressed” and has like 8 close friends and gets a girlfriend and immediately gets intimate.

I would think it a bit more immersive if they made his depression about something else entirely from the start.

Yes, I barely if ever drink alcohol. I’m not social and hate talking to people or crowds, I’m also pretty ND so I can’t fake or pretend I give a shit about what other people are talking.

Alcohol helps a lot, if I have to meet whoever and their friends and they’re asking me about work or how I would design an app that does blah blah I definitely need to be like 4 beers in to tolerate that conversation.

That being said I don’t drink for things like school presentations or other events that require me to speak, like conference stuff. I just bite the bullet and it sucks, but I’d rather be sober and speaking coherently than feeling like I am.

Oracle can fuck off

TL;DR: Smart sibling ahead of the curve told me in 2011 that tech jobs will be the future and naturally I didn’t listen, fast forward to 2016 and my contract job laid me off so I started learning Python (as advised by smart sibling)

I start making all sorts of stupid stuff mostly CLI programs, beginner alg problems. beginner alg console games and so on.

Suddenly I realize I probably know enough to make something real, start slowing learning new things and always think “hmm a real software dev probably does x” and then try x.

Went from CLI stuff to web APIs, then full stack websites, then platform specific gui programs, then learning C++.

And at some point it clicked that this stuff is a lot easier than I thought (I had literally no concept of what programming was before)

I apply for an associates in tech program, just before starting I decide to use Linux to get more familiar with dev technology.

I picked Arch Linux btw, had some issues btw, overcame issues btw and then I landed a job during school as a dev and I kept using Linux as dev.

So it was mostly about getting to understand dev landscape more

I use CachyOS on my desktop (I game), and Arch Linux on laptop (by far the best laptop user experience with tiling wm)

I’d say CachyOS there is a learning curve but if you know these windows terms: registry, batch, sfc /scannow … then you already have enough technological know how to get started with rolling release.

My advice for gaming on Linux is to have a seperate hard drive where you store things you care about (including games) so you are able to wipe everything in case something goes wrong.

EE is absolutely fascinating for applications of calculus in general.

I didn’t give a shit about calculus and then EE just kept blowing my mind.

I’m on x11 so I guess I’ll have to find out tonight if it works or not

as of when ? using what method of using discord, browser or the electron app? ? under x11 or Wayland?

I know there’s dozen ways to screen share but I mostly care about discord and discord screen sharing doesn’t work on Linux, curiously enough if you get obs to create a virtual camera of whatever you want to stream it will stream it flawlessly. Use the default way of streaming anything and it craps out

Yes, but CS2 is cheater riddled and deadlock announced an AC that to my knowledge we don’t know much yet.

Sc2 is also cheater riddled. Valorant has kernel AC.

Which games are those ?

Oh yeah, I don’t plan to spend my savings on 2k rent a month

Yeah, hard pass on that. I think I’d retire early and then jump off a bridge once the funds run out.

yeah, ain’t no way I’m working for 30 years. I don’t know what I’ll do but it’s not working.
