Half a teaspoon of sugar is probably a lot better for me than taking red bull 🤷‍♂️ there’s nothing wrong with sugar in moderation.

I drink coffee to stay awake at work not because I like it. I’ll take any amount of milk and sugar to make that coffee bearable.

Yakuza zero has been great on the steam deck for me. I think it kinda straddles the line between immersive sim while mostly being a brawler.

Game developer (software engineer) We get paid less than conventional software but it’s very rewarding work on its own.

What’s your average working day like?

All my aussie friends who’ve been to the US mentioned the fast food there is really gross and the portions are concerning. Food quality difference maybe, I’m not sure

Checking my blind spot has saved me from driving into cars several times on the highway.

Outer wilds if you enjoyed subnautica’s sense of wonder and exploration. Not replayable but a unique once in a lifetime experience.

Helldivers 2 if you enjoy halo firefight and it’s expansive sandbox. Very replayable.

Teardown is very replayable and will run great on your rig.

Curious why you went for 64gb of ram instead of 32, because the extra dosh could have gone to a better gpu. Always use the extra on the gpu or monitor.

Not sure about the egulf, but the Volt in Australia is a Holden badge and I am pretty sure is a hybrid. The cheapest you can get here is a Nissan leaf, which I honestly had no idea existed until now.

Regardless, all manufacturers are adding electric to a lot of their range, as the years go, they’ll be cheaper second hand and I bet that’s when adoption will sky-rocket.

I like to think most people, at least where I live, know cars burn up the planet. Problem is most can’t afford a $50k AUD EV, even on finance, but a 2011 Hyundai shit box or a 2005 Toyota hilux is less than $10k.

Oh also, cars are being made to be replaced within a few years. Cost and build quality of modern vehicles pushes me away from buying an EV. Hopefully in the future, they become more ubiquitous, cheaper, and we can solve the problem of handling old batteries and stability.

That’s unfortunate. A few of my co workers have keychrons and they disabled/set their back lights to a static colour and they’ve never had issues with it resetting.

My ducky keyboard has DIP switches and it’s nice to be able to swap what I want from there.

Any decent keyboard saves the rgb profile on the keyboard itself. My ducky, nuphy and any keychrons I’ve used never reset their rgb or macro settings.

Nuphy boards use QMK which is configurable through VIA which is open source and web based. Pretty convenient. Otherwise you can just configure it using button combos as per their instructions.

Ducky keyboards and most rgb mechs let you define the keyboard just with fn combinations. The software is for convenience

You would only be awake for 30s after sudden decompression

The queer community has been known and active for a very long time. The stonewall riots occured in 1969, making it prime time to make media about the LGBTQ community.

I’m not disagreeing that it’s different. It’s a more fair comparison to compare it to embedded software development, where you are writing low level code for a specific piece of hardware.

I’m just saying that abstraction in general is not an excuse for the current state of computer software. Computers are so insanely fast nowadays it makes no sense that Windows file Explorer and other such software can be so sluggish still.

Abstraction does not have to imply significant performance loss.
