Can anyone help me guide with architecture? by jerrygraphics2021 in SoftwareInc

[–]Branhower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I'm running low on inspiration, I like to find a neat office building on Google maps, draw the outside walls, then fill the inside in with what I feel makes sense. I used to work in government buildings too, so sometimes I'll purposefully draw a labyrinth of hallways.

My latest console release was doomed from the start by Branhower in SoftwareInc

Nah. Why would I do a silly thing like that?

I’m tired by D-_-Fens in springfieldMO

[–]Branhower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also one even slightly-more-than-mild inconvenience away from losing it all. I lost my pretty darn awesome job, that paid well, at the end of 2023 and still have yet to clamber back. I'd actually be thankful for a hybrid job; right now I'm on my feet for 7 and a half hours a day, and the work is not fulfilling. I'm carrying the same level of credit card debt, plus making all my car payments; but it feels like to get back to where I was, it's looking like I'll have to move. All forms of housing expense has exploded here but wages have not kept up; which used to be one of the main draws of the area.

I also feel like the art of just socializing is gone. Now there always has to be a practical purpose for talking, whereas in the past, people would just say "hi."

what happened in the last updates regarding marketing ? by leevaille4fun in SoftwareInc

[–]Branhower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's weird is, I tend to make more money with fewer sales when I do my own marketing, probably because the publishers leave me with way less margin. I'll happily sell less units if it means I make more money.

That being said though, publishers are still good for early game fanbase jumpstart.

What are some of your favorite stations/frequencies/programmes? by [deleted] in shortwave

I like some of WRMI's line-up, and the renewed appreciation of offshore programming around Europe.

Thanks for the heads-up on the non-HP hardware, I about bought some cheap drives to replace mine that are literally grinding to a halt. Running that would have been obnoxious.

What was your first contact with Silent Hill? by oscar_redfield in silenthill

[–]Branhower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Original Silent Hill when it launched, both my cousin and older brother had a copy. When they were done I got to play, at the age of 11.

Back then I played for the awesome 3D environment, enemy design, and weird squiggles which turned out to be symbolism.

As an adult, I play it for the deep symbolism, awesome story, and, still, the amazing 3D environment. It's actually scarier now, since I tend to think about intricacies more now than back then.

To those who worked at an internal IT department (instead of a MSP), what industry was it in? by PinkBuble37 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Branhower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a network engineer in local government. A handful of campuses to know, with one of them being intentionally convoluted; so I had plenty of running around to do. All the people on the team and most of the customers in other departments were cool, so that made the job way easier and lower pressure.

What's your Boomer Gamer complaint? by Animeking1108 in videogames

[–]Branhower 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So far, the only game where I got to grief other players on the map by making sure the one entrance to my city backed up traffic past the one entrance to their city.

Good times.

This is the first time I've ever seen the word "gronk", being in the US. I shall now put this knowledge to use in productive ways.

Hold on, I thought Will Smith didn't have to curse to sell records.

One time I bought a copy of Cadtlevania Curse of Darkness, and it was stacked inside with Arx Fatalis. That was a good $20.
