- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 2 days ago:
Based on the OP, they didn’t have the answers to these questions when they accepted the interview. These should be presented by the business along with the job offer, or they’ll come along with the job offer.
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 2 days ago:
I feel like the answer to some of these questions would/should be answered in either the job application or the job offer. I get not wanting to wait for the job offer, but a company not offering that info is a red flag imo. Personally, I’d ask before signing the official offer, and not at the job interview. I’d also probably go for more general questions.
“What does a typical work day look like?”
“What is the overall compensation package?” Though this one can be a bit taboo
- Comment on Chinese Keyboards 6 days ago:
In Korean (and I think some Chinese/Japanese keyboards) you can “build” the character, from building blocks like this
I’d say you’re not building the character, but typing in the characters one by one.
집, as you know from typing it, is three characters in one. All three components are distinct. They can’t stand alone, but that’s not much different than “c” not really being able to stand alone in English. (If we refer to the letter C, we often capitalize it)
In Japanese, people can easily type in Hiragana (their “alphabet”), and the Kanji can be suggested like with autocorrect. The sound is the same, but the visual is different.
Chinese is a different beast because they don’t have an “alphabet” of “letters” the ways that Korean and Japanese do.
(They’re not “alphabets”, but they do have elements that are much closer to letters than Chinese does)
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 1 week ago:
There’s a set story, but it’s discovered. The world is wide open, and the player can go anywhere right at the start of the game. There’s minimal railroading at any point.
Unless I misunderstood what you meant by emergent narrative. The progression through the game requires the player to learn what to do by interacting with aliens and also exploring a bit. There is an in-game hint system (an alien dialogue tree with prices), but there are often multiple solutions to each “problem”. The player can even get through the game being good or evil – whatever they choose!
The game plays very differently than ME, but you’ll probably find the dialogue trees very familiar. And I think SC2 actually does them better than ME.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 1 week ago:
I forgot to mention that part – yeah, the series is still alive, and fans have been waiting for that sequel from the original creators for what, 30 years now?
A game that meaningful should always be given a look, even if it can feel a bit “dated” in some ways.
Thanks for bringing that up!
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 1 week ago:
There’s the game that inspired them from the early 90s, Star Control 2.
It’s free on Steam as Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters, but the best way to play it today is Ur-Quan Masters Mega Mod. So many QoL features!
The game also had some sequels, including Star Control Origins, which is a more modern game, but the story isn’t quite as good.
Star Control 3 exists, but sucks.
And then there’s the series from the 80s that inspired this one, Starflight. That one was too dated for me to get into, though.

So… it’s looking like OP is the dumb one, huh? Lol
- Comment on Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation? 1 week ago:
My brother tried before, but Mouse Trap seems to kind of suck as a game.
I didn’t know Operation has cards…
- Comment on I am creating a new horror game called The 18th Attic where you have to take Polaroid pictures of ghosts along with your pet companion! 1 week ago:
Why would I want to subject my pet companion to being forced to pose for pictures with ghosts? That just sounds cruel!
- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 1 week ago:
Rock Band 2. Bladder of Steel achievement playing with a full band of 4 (locally).
It’s playing the entire setlist of 84 or so songs all the way through in one sitting. Without pausing or failing.
We did it with all instruments on Medium, but we did it! (I could pass anything on Expert, but maybe not all the way through. My friends were borderline Hard players at best, so Medium was the only way we’d ever be able to do it together)
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it is redundant. The things people can say are not always completely medically accurate.
- Comment on how do I show a coworker that I care about her after her mother died? 2 weeks ago:
The best thing is to come up with something specific. As others are suggesting, offering to make food is probably an easy-to-accept offer.
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 2 weeks ago:
You’ve got multiple sources now. It’s good to question things, but you might want to start by questioning the things that you’ve previously learned when encountering new information.
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 2 weeks ago:
As the other commenter said, rhymes would be with visual similarities.
Linguistically, a rhyme is when two words share the same nucleus and coda. In regular terms, that’s the same ending vowel and the consonants that follow it.
In ASL, words aren’t formed exactly the same way, but do have similar components that can be used to make rhymes. Rhyming words could have the same motion, but a different shape, for example. Or the same position, but a different motion.
I don’t actually speak ASL, so I can’t be certain about what looks best as a rhyme, but I understand some of the principles.

I don’t get why that’s not stupid. The result of it certainly is! Haha
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure why you’re crying, but you’re incorrect.
It is surprising to many people outside of the Deaf Community, but Deaf people can often hear. The Deaf are considered deaf once they have passed a certain decibel (dB) hearing loss. Many people who are profoundly deaf can still hear planes, dogs barking, etc. Hearing a sound does not mean that Deaf people can understand speech. A person with a significant hearing loss generally has difficulty or inability to hear speech even when aided.

As well, people with cochlear implants are (generally?) also Deaf, but with the implant, they can hear.
- Comment on Palworld Lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
the way japan acts as if Pokemon invented JRPG battles is simply ridiculous.
Am I missing some bit of context? Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy still exist (and came first).
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 2 weeks ago:
Some Deaf people can still hear, in which case rhymes would make sense.
Someone who’s never heard before probably wouldn’t get rhymes in English. But then again, someone who speaks English probably wouldn’t get rhymes in ASL.
People who can hear would have an advantage though in that they’d be able to learn ASL and pick up on wordplay (like “rhyming”) that’s used in ASL. Unless a Deaf person becomes Hearing, they may never be able to experience rhymes in spoken English.
… it’d be easier if our spelling wasn’t so darned stupid, lol

Wow, Ancient China must’ve been pretty advanced if it had RPGs! Especially video game RPGs!

- Comment on why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person?? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know how it happens, but I agree with you. I don’t know how I’m able to recognize more users on Lemmy than on Reddit by how spammy their genuine posts and comments are.
I’ve blocked more people on Lemmy than on Reddit.

Did the answers you got the last time(s?) you posted this question not tell you what you wanted to hear?
- Comment on We all need Seaman back in our lives! 2 weeks ago:
With improved voice recognition, it could be great.
I’d definitely give it another go.
I also wouldn’t hate a game that connected to an AI LLM for conversations. That could be interesting, especially with a game like Seaman wrapped around the communications.

There are definitely people out there who’d understand your situation.
I think therapy would be the best next step.
- Comment on the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high 3 weeks ago:
I watch a lot of gaming content, but it’s mostly video essay or review style stuff. Maybe that’s what keeps my feed clean.
On YouTube, I don’t watch shorts at all though. And I’m vicious about telling it “Not Interested” when there’s something I don’t want in my feed.
- Comment on the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high 3 weeks ago:
Even better is a split screen video where the bottom half is someone playing Minecraft or some really simple platform game because people don’t have the attention span to learn some dumb fact without also watching some game on half of their screen.
I’ve never seen those in any of my feeds, thankfully. Probably because I tend to watch longer videos and…“original” videos (no overlayed people or other stuff)
- Comment on the amount of slop saying "wait till the end" is too damn high 3 weeks ago:
Even worse is captions saying what happens. Like it’ll be a video of a baby trying to sit on a chair and missing and falling…and the caption will say “bro missed his chair”.
Why does a 7 second video need spoilers?
- Comment on Where is the line between meeting somebody halfway and being a doormat with no personality? 3 weeks ago:
Where is the line between meeting somebody halfway and being a doormat with no personality?
About half way.
Doormat with no personality is all the way. Meeting somebody halfway is halfway there. Always needing to have it your way is going nowhere at all.

No, it’s a comforting “sh” like “shhhhh”, don’t worry, it just works.
It’s only one h for the double entendre.
