Definitely, but they did well for themselves and their family. They moved between big name studios but have found a comfortable career not tied to any big name studio
I haven’t kept in close contact with them but it’s pretty fun hearing about, or even playing, games they’ve worked on (every once in a while I check up on what they’ve done)
They eventually got into the sound side of things and occasionally would do recordings when family got together. One time in particular I remember, we went on a walk and they brought recording equipment. Recorded the ambient sounds while we were on the trail. Sometimes we’d be talking and other times we were walking in silence. Recording us approaching and departing; the sounds of our footsteps on different terrain: gravel, dirt, grass, pavement. Got some closeups of a small creek that ran next to the trail. Would record the sounds of a field of wild grass, or a stand of trees. I wonder if anything they recorded ended up in some game… That would be pretty dope
Tl;Dr What I can say is, they genuinely loved their job no matter which shitty big name they worked under. And they got to do some genuinely fun things in the pursuit of bettering their work
Sorry for the wall of text, idk I just haven’t really had somewhere to share that. I’ve never heard someone mention infinity ward , like literally ever. Any time I’ve said the name I’ve been met with blanks stares until I say “Call of Duty”

I have a family member who worked for IW on CoD but left shortly after the merger when they saw the writing on the wall. Granted they left for a company just as bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They like moisture. They’re crustaceans like crabs and shrimp so they need high humidity at the very least to survive. Bugs also like to find shelter in shade so a big shady place that also happens to be damp is paradise

And when I’ve tried it numerous times I’ll let them walk me through the process while I browse the internet for a couple minutes while I “wait for the light to turn green”
Nope, it’s still flashing yellow, like it has been, and has been after the last couple resets of everything between me and the wall
Oh you’ll send a technician out? Thx.

It’s hard to get over “that”. It feels good but vulnerable to let yourself out. But literally no one cares
This scene has resonated with me for a while and I love it and embrace it

Oh that looks so fun! I’ll definitely check it out. I feel that I might be able to scrounge together a group that would enjoy this

I recently had an rfid scanner immediately rma-d back that had just been returned to us. The new issue was caused by a setting and not by a defect. I asked our IT/help desk if it WAS a setting that could be changed
“I don’t know. I get the thing, I check these settings, I check those settings, that’s all I know”
😑😑😑
So me and another person are out of our equipment for another couple weeks while the scanner is sent back for “repairs” and the repair people will go “😑 tap tap tap idiots”

I appreciate this!
Generally oc forward subs are very stringent about it truly being OC and if caught posting something that isn’t theirs will face consequences
Blurry pics of a cat’s right up on the lens is low effort. Any pictures you see posted in a place like lemmy.world/c/astrophotography will not be low effort because those are removed. They also require the submissions to be OC
- Comment on What is piefed? 3 months ago:
Excluding OC communities, right? Like you’re not discounting people who put a lot of time and effort into their photography? Or even if they’re not great photographers sharing pictures of their plants and gardens and hobbies, and pets, should have the same allowances as text only posts

I advise not to go “cheap” and make sure you get something body safe. (Cheap toys could be made with harmful materials.) Honestly if you go to a sex shop and explain what the need is, they’ll be more than happy to guide you to toys that have the vibrations you need. There’s buzzy or rumbly types and come in a huge range of strengths and textures
Seriously, they’d be ecstatic to help! And you would absolutely not be the only one
Unsolicited recommendation?:
I’m not sure what you need specifically, but something like this might work? lovecrave.com/products/vesper It’s small and you can use the tip for pinpoint or the length of it for a larger area. It is rumbly, surprisingly so for such a small device, and has different strengths (and patterns), and doesn’t look like a sex toy - Comment on riders on the storm 4 months ago:
I don’t know why this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Something about it gets me right in the soul. Also I didn’t know the artist or song name so thanks for the link, that is a beautiful video; I haven’t seen it before and after a bit of an emotionally taxing day I got a happy cry and I feel a lot lighter inside
💚 Thank you for brightening this stranger’s day

Thanks for posting these! I’ve caught nearly every one since you started and have given me motivation some days to start up something and play for a bit. And I’ve never regretted it because I do enjoy gaming. On those blah days seeing someone being excited about a game lifts my mood enough to do it myself and end up feeling pretty good and having fun
I hope you don’t forget anytime soon! I appreciate your enthusiasm for your games and following along with your progress is very wholesome as well

I was actually thinking of these exact guys the other day. I haven’t had a tank of anything in a couple years. But as I’m getting my life and place back in order I’m yearning for another aquarium
I know the basics of these guys. And I find them absolutely fascinating! And even being “zero maintenance” doesn’t negate any feelings of accomplishment. I have a plant that has curly leaves that I’m over the moon about
Where’d you get your guys? Do they breed in your tank conditions?

That last bit is something that bothers me. My apartment used to pay water, sewer, garbage but years ago they shifted that to the tenants. We don’t have individual meters so our bill is divided up between units and the number of people in the unit (supposedly… Our bills are administered by a third party. I can’t even pay my bill directly to the utility companies)
I try to conserve water (or anything else, but I’m focusing on the water). I don’t like waste. But fuck it, if I’m paying for OTHER PEOPLE’S water usage I sure as shit will make sure I get my money’s worth. But if everyone has that mindset, our bills collectively go up. Oh well
