While I agree, and am in Washington now in part because of stuff like this, we need to do better about keeping these people subdued or it won’t be much better here. The college towns bordering Idaho/Washington are in the middle of a very successful christo-fascist takeover with plans to foothold into Washington. Spokane has been toying with nationalism and white supremacy for ages. There are a lot of very red rural farmland and small towns who are angry at Seattle for having such an influence on them.

I still feel safer here and most areas of Washington than I have living in other places. We need to work hard to keep it that way because fascism doesn’t stop at state lines

With all our experience from the last plague this one should be a breeze where everyone quarantines, vaccinates, and masks as needed. Yeah we’ll be fine

ArmoredThirteen ,

One of my top 5 favorite movies, such a good one

I’m saving up for the American Dream 2.0™️: Moving to another country

Hey I’m really happy for you quitting drinking ❤️ I’m a few weeks short of two years no alcohol. The cost was unreal it gets so expensive

ArmoredThirteen ,

Omg yes, you’re almost there 9/10, one of the best copy pasta contenders I’ve seen on Lemmy! Unhinged response, off topic statements, multiple paragraphs in length, claiming to be highly educated, and idk what the DOJ has to do with any of this but they like your fingers hell yeah! Just take away a bit of punctuation for that sweet run-on sentence feel and I’d give you a 10/10 but I’m still so proud of you 🫂

ArmoredThirteen ,

Please keep it coming the ranting brings me joy ❤️

ArmoredThirteen ,

In school (US) they taught us about the book burnings but conveniently left out that a lot of the most famous pictures are from this institute being ransacked. The suppression of knowledge continues :/

ArmoredThirteen ,

We were driving through absolutely middle of nowhere western Washington once, forest everywhere, and started seeing signs like “do not stop for teens” or “don’t pick up hitchhiking kids”. We figured it was likely a cult or conversion camp since there weren’t any jouvies in that area, probably we would have ignored the signs and helped someone out if they asked

ArmoredThirteen ,

In my highschool we’d get actively yelled at by teachers if caught holding hands, and brought aside to be given talkings to and possibly detention if caught holding hands when walking anywhere near middle schoolers (the two buildings were right next to each other). Some people and groups really are that uptight

The Unity office in Bellevue used to have beer on tap in the cafeteria. Idk if it still does what with all the fuckery going on… Maybe one day I’ll actually go into the office and I can report back

ArmoredThirteen ,

I don’t understand? It seemed like a fun and relevant tidbit to me. Also there is no bragging about working for Unity anymore the place is a disaster

ArmoredThirteen ,

In about three weeks I get to have a handful of little robot arms similar to these all up in my business! I’m honestly kinda excited I love robots and these ones are really nifty

ArmoredThirteen ,

So tired of companies telling me they know what I want more than I do. It’s all over the place in big ways like this and smaller annoyance ways too. My work mac just did a security update and it decided to change my desktop background

The tire doesn’t have to be perfect that’s why it’s a spare. I’m sure it’ll be fine

Like this but with the spare wheel instead of a no wheel

ArmoredThirteen ,

Billions of queries becoming way more energy intensive for a feature almost nobody asked for, now the default. What the fuck are we even doing

ArmoredThirteen ,

They would look for jobs and housing just like everyone else

ArmoredThirteen ,

Makes me think of the Claw of Shame but, you know, not entertaining at all

ArmoredThirteen ,

I’ve seen how hefty a brussel sprout stalk can be, no way I’m going to fight you when you’ve got a weapon like that laying around

ArmoredThirteen ,

Finally, my home state is mentioned in a headline and it has nothing to do with how fucked the politics there are

ArmoredThirteen ,

The real perk of getting tips in cash is not having to visit an ATM to buy drugs from each other

Not me but I’ve lived with a chef for over a decade lol

Getting into Civ 6

I got into Civilization rather late with their fifth entry. I was hesitant because as I get older I need more time to game than I do new titles. Still I picked up six with all DLC during the last sale. I have to say I am liking the changes. It was good to wait because Civ does need its DLCs to feel complete....

ArmoredThirteen ,

6 also has a really bad habit of trying to hide a lot of stuff away from you for idk why, cleaner aesthetics? In 5 almost all the numbers are there out in the open ready to be looked at in-game and it makes approaching everything much easier for me

ArmoredThirteen ,

Goodbye wild axolotls 😞 (Among all the other bad from this)

ArmoredThirteen ,

Mustard, mint, and nightshade make the culinary world go round

ArmoredThirteen ,

What do you mean “end”? As long as capitalism is guiding the ship it can’t end the line has to go up

ArmoredThirteen ,

Fun fact: Lockheed uses Unity to make XR training apps and Unity used to (maybe still does I’m not sure) partner with them to help build said apps

I write a world/setting and host all the notes for it on my own little website. I’m kinda proud of how it is set up: I write things in Obsidian, push changes to a repo, and then a build server picks everything up to turn into a webpage and update the host server. From random thought to website is just a few minutes

ArmoredThirteen ,

Obsidian on my local machine, changes get pushed to GitHub, Jenkins pipeline is triggered, I like to use multibranch pipelines with Jenkinsfiles, ObsidianHTML is called and uses a config file in the repo, scp and ssh to send everything to the host server. The order it moves things is a bit specific to try and reduce downtime: New site gets sent to host server with a temp directory name, old directory is renamed, new directory is renamed to be what the old one was, and then the old one is deleted. Getting the build server to actually have the tools installed for ObsidianHTML was kinda a pita had to do a lot of figuring out which versions of Python were supported where and update a lot of stuff without breaking other parts of the build server relying on older Python versions. My build and host servers are two separate droplets with DigitalOcean. ObsidianHTML isn’t being developed anymore so I’d like to replace it with something I make myself one day but I’m not good at web dev in general let alone programmatically building pages

ArmoredThirteen ,

When did you retire? Agile has been around for at least 20 years, more like 30 if you count scrum being introduced before agile was formally defined. No matter how critical I am of agile it is hardly a fad at this point

ArmoredThirteen ,

Yeah but the overly complex one would be perfect for publicly exclaiming how bad someone is at using the three seashells

ArmoredThirteen ,

It’s not that simple but yeah if things keep going this way more people will keep moving away. The ones that remain are likely to get hyper focused on to keep the user base in the same way you have to increasingly cater to whales in a game after the community at large leaves

ArmoredThirteen ,

Or they’re a small team who literally can’t afford to switch engines without killing their studio so a switch has to be carefully planned and could take years. It isn’t just greed and sacrificing morals keeping people using Unity

ArmoredThirteen ,

The cheese is Climax Blue. Going to their site I’d honestly never have thought their cheese was good, it’s basically a buzzword dumping ground. Doesn’t sound like they have much product available currently but if it’s really that good hopefully they can scale up quickly

ArmoredThirteen ,

I’m in the game industry. This is entirely person observation I have not studied this topic so can’t source anything

The people I saw going to early mobile market were a lot of handheld console and flash game devs and companies. They were adapting the closest existing game designs and brought with them a “small game small cost” philosophy. It also wasn’t really known yet how impulsive people are on phones. So it was an unproven market with smaller teams and people making yester era design choices. There also used to be a few bigger games with bigger price tags but people didn’t buy into those because anyone willing to spend that on a game at the time would have had a console or PC and could buy a better experience there for the same price.

The only mobile game experience I have was back in like 2012, smart phones were really taking off, and the market for mobile games was proven. The company I worked for we built a release ready game but it never got released. We couldn’t sell it to investors because the monetization was never aggressive enough for them (the investor money at that point was less about making the game and more to fund marketing and stabilizing the studio as a long term business). I quit when my job stopped being dev work and started being round tables about how to psychologically trick players into paying more. Anyway with so much focus on heavy monetization it stopped being economically worth it for a lot of startups to actually make good games when thinly veiled skinner boxes pleased the investors all the same

ArmoredThirteen ,

Yeah that would be ridiculous. I personally want mine to be me complaining about the quality of someone else’s copper

I mean yes the headline is sensationalized but that still averages to one every 2 weeks, enough to be considered a pretty regular occurrence. Imagine if every other week your work has a power outage that needs a 4-hour manual reset to fix. After working there for a year would you describe it as an every so often problem or “our power is fucked it goes out all the time”?

ArmoredThirteen ,

The original XCOM soundtrack slapped and I’m curious what a remaster would be like

ArmoredThirteen ,

Gotcha, WiFi is a bunch of tiny pianists in a box

ArmoredThirteen ,

I have a 14 year old gigabyte motherboard in my older computer. When I first got it I didn’t know what I was doing and plugged the wrong thing in somewhere and blew up a component on it. As long as I don’t use that slot it chugs along just fine. I wish companies would just keep making things that last I’d gladly pay a fairly steep premium for that. Instead it seems every company that gets known for making good stuff decides to shit all over themselves

ArmoredThirteen ,

Every time I hear about Idaho it gets worse ffs. I hope my nieces can get the fuck out of there when they’re old enough
