“What is the overall compensation package?”
This should be discussed as part of salary expectations. In fact talking about the overall compensation is a recommendation to avoid giving a specific number when asked what salary range you are expecting. (“That depends on other compensation factors such as how much time off I get in a year and medical benefits coverage.”)
Doing this got me an extra $1000 a year as my starting salary at my previous job when their medical benefits were not as good as what I had at the time.

Toxic bosses need not post job offers. I would rather work at a McDonald’s…
Oh you sweet summer child…
As someone who spent too many years in fast food the bosses there are extremely toxic, largely due to the fact that it is one of the easiest places to find some nieve replacement for the person who doesn’t want to be on call 24/7 and work unpaid overtime.

They’ll ask the AI what to make then ask the AI to code it and use AI art.
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 5 days ago:
Nintendo bad for making QoL console releases? Again, Nintendo is not the only company to do that. PS4/PS5 Pro, the recent Xboxes, etc
Nintendo has a history of doing something different each hardware generation: Snes had the 4 button + shoulder buttons controller. N64 controller was designed for someone with 3 hands, DS had 2 screens, 3DS had 3d without glasses, Wii had motion controls, Wii U the tablet controller, Switch is a console and portable… Every system had something that made it unique. What’s unique about the Switch 2?
Nintendo is not able to compete with other consoles on power, it’s the unique hardware that gives a reason to own it over something else.They’ve put basically zero effort into shutting down emulators for consoles they don’t sell anymore.
Technically correct. If they hear a whisper of a ROM for Mappy Land on the NES they have their lawyers on speed dial. ( Me typing that sentence means someone from Nintendo is now watching this thread to see if anyone links to a ROM.)

People have built wands that can teleport you to parallel worlds, and the developers did not intend for that to be possible.
Alright, this has convinced me to give Noita a shot.

Seconding Inscryption. Excellent game. Read nothing about it and explore it on your own.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 1 week ago:
I’m thrilled that Into the Breach is available on Android, massively disappointed that I cannot purchase it. But at least that means patched APKs exist…
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 1 week ago:
A couple weirder Rogue-lite suggestions:
Against the Storm is a Rogue-lite City Builder, which sounds like 2 things that shouldn’t go together but works surprisingly well. It has a generous demo on Steam that lets you freely play up to level 6 or something in the standard biome, so give it a try
Shape-Hero Factory is a Rogue-lite Factory Builder. Another weird combination that is surprisingly effective. It’s in Early Access so there’s a lot of features that are still planned, but you can do full runs and go up to I think Ascension 6. It had a demo during nextfest, not sure if the demo is still there.

It’s possible to find APKs with the Netflix login patched out. I’ve been playing Into the Breach recently.

This is like renaming the Gulf of Mexico; The US starts qualifying as a Third World Country so now they want to change the term.

here in Canada on holidays they pay double time and a half
Maybe in your industry. The legal requirement is time and a half.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 3 weeks ago:
You don’t own anything on Epic either. Epic is actually significantly worse for people losing their accounts and having no way of recovering them.
If for some reason I lost access to my Stream account I would just pirate copies of the games I’ve already purchased.

“Fuck” can be translated to “disregard”: "Fuck that.’
- Comment on Behold currently! 3 weeks ago:
What is the entertainment from the meme? Is it that “Auto-translate did this”? Or is it “This is All Star as if it was a passage from the Bible”?
If it’s the latter (which I personally found amusing) then why are you getting your panties is a twist that it wasn’t a computer that did this?

It’s not just a matter of avoiding it, I have been signed up for prime on days I didn’t eve use Amazon. The system will sign you up on its own.

Also you have automatically been signed up and charged for Prime.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun! 4 weeks ago:
Fair. I have quite the backlog of games to play, so if something on my wishlist is on sale I don’t bother if I currently have something I’m playing. The sale will come around again.

If you like ARPGs I’d recommend checking out Last Epoch, I found the customization and skill trees much more satisfying than Grim Dawn.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun! 4 weeks ago:
I ignored the autumn sale because I knew the winter sale would be right behind it and assumed it would have better deals

Tetris is Russian propaganda that teaches children doing good work is pointless as it will just be taken away and you’ll be forced to do it again until you do it half assed.

You forgot about laws.
No I didn’t

You literally just break up grocery store companies and stop them from merging in the future.
Oh, so you mean LAWS?
