This one took me a sec (because I’m old) but then I chuckled heartily (because I’m old)

Other than both being the letter R, I don’t see any similarities that would confuse anyone into thinking they’re related.

You can show the log and see dice rolls.

Neverwinter Nights on my phone. Third or fourth playthrough (first ones were on PC). Absolutely cooks the battery, but entertains for hours while travelling as long as I can plug in. I really wish BeamDog would have spent a little more time optimizing it.
Next will be Icewind Dale and will be my first playthrough I think. Then I might go back to NWN for some of the community quests.
- Comment on why make fan games and projects? 3 months ago:
Yeah, don’t try to remake an active, money-making game like TF2 with plans for releasing it…
As a corollary to what you mentioned, if you want to get a job in the games industry, the number one thing you can do is make a game. A straight remake is great for engineers or artists, and a remake with specific improvements is great for designers. And you don’t have to do anything from scratch, unless you are looking for a core engine type job. Using a game engine like Unreal and publicly available assets and libraries is fine. You also don’t ever have to release or announce your project. The important thing is that you will very quickly learn about the challenges of making a game. If you can start answering questions in an interview and talk about where you encountered challenges, how you researched solving them, etc., you will be that much closer to landing a job.

What instance are you logged into and what are your Jerboa settings (are you filtering by Local/All, are you sorting by Hot?)

Weird, I never see any sports posts (and would be mildly interested in them.) What communities are you seeing them from and how are you browsing Lemmy?
