I wouldn't be sure about that, Venezuela is shown in the eggs search and that is a spanish speaking country.

Same for me, although I would also say that the level of polish a game can attain helps a lot. Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldurs Gate 3 come to mind as games that were meticulously worked on to the smallest detail.

If you haven't tried it, play The Case of the Golden Idol. I liked it as much as Return of the Obra Dinn and it was one of my GOTY last year.

This reminds me about a couple of famous fics that each have their own fics inspired by them: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality [0], and The Arithmancer [1]. The first has it own wikipedia page and its from the creator of LessWron

I have about 150 games in the backlog that I buy in sales to play later, when I don't like them after 30 minutes I just refund them. Steam has been pretty good with this, doesn't matter if I bought it months before, they will stil

I feel like you are talking about gacha games and didn't say so, would make more sense than children physically going to casinos.

Some of those jobs are already in lower cost countries but some can't be outsourced because they rely on military contracts (can only be worked on by US employees). I once worked on an offshore company that did staff augmentation for a

I usually dream when I have slept really well for a few days. At least for me when my mind is tired I fall into dreamless sleep in a few seconds, instead of several minutes with a soft transition to dreaming.

QA normally do everything manually, with 0 automation I can see some games taking more than 500 testers to go through all possible paths. Especially in live service games like Apex. I worked briefly on a AAA game and my team had 2 dedicated

Does someone know if this is official at a global scale? From the little I know they were asking people's opinion on it, not mandating it per se. Disclaimer: I don't work at Salesforce.

Putting aside some time to do non-tech stuff is a good idea, things like going to the gym, reading books, going out and walking around, etc. Also as an experiment I deleted Twitter which I used to mindlessly scroll, put HN on no procrastina

Sorry I don't have a recommendation but this seems hard, symbols in math can mean different things depending on the context (the field you are looking in) and at least while I was in undergrad they seemed to change between professors a

I hope they start distributing it to more countries at some point, I really want to get my hands on one. For people with big steam libraries it's a no brainer, lately most games come with controller support out of the box, and for ever

Sounds like the worldbuilding behind Cyberpunk 2077, it has major corpos and finding yourself among the unemployed leaves you in very bad shape.
