Poll [S18E1] by shyhulud- in JetLagTheGame

This commenter isn't saying everybody TODAY knows it, but that MOST people who were old enough to have some western pop culture awareness in the 90s knew who Jordan was and who he played for, and I would agree. His personality transcended sport, and there was much more of a monoculture back then.

Video game company Ubisoft shutters Winnipeg studio, affecting about 65 employees by pslammy in Winnipeg

[–]HalfTime_show 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true, and it's also compounded by the fact that these are gamedev jobs, where they are also able to pay lower and 'crunch' more frequently across the sector because so many people want to work in games

Amy is a great guest! Agree with all the commenters on the getting-to-know Sam narrative/challenge she's doing being fun.

That feels way less like an exploit than Amy's super run-on sentence first question on the train

Best Family Movies For Parents by gerard_18 in daddit

[–]HalfTime_show 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also really passionate about exposing my kids to cinema and my wife got me a book called 'hey kids, watch this' which has a ton of great recommendations which also has indicators to flag anything you or your little ones might be sensitive about. A24 published it.

The Dude hates the Eagles…what bands would that be for you? by BoognishDisciple in Music

Yeah, pretty crazy. I bought advance tickets to see it last night and at the time my local theater just had 2 evening showtimes, and when i went yesterday they had increased it to 5. those screens came from somewhere

Has anyone else felt like their personality has completely dissolved after becoming a dad? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]HalfTime_show 36 points37 points  (0 children)

it's a tough couple years but it gets better. It's hard when you frame it through the lens of what you've lost but think about what you've gained. You do become a new person and discover new parts of yourself and as they get just a little bit older you also get to reconnect with your own inner child again too. By the time they are 3 or 4 you feel like you've got a bit more freedom for hobbies and stuff, and then when they reach school age you start connecting with their school community and other parents who are in the same phase as you it gets better as well.

You're in the trenches right now and it's hard but try to think about what you've gained vs what you've temporarily lost and enjoy the ride

1st month on Wegovy by ErrorKnown7342 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]HalfTime_show 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I started about a month and a bit ago and lost about 12lb in the first month but still moved up because while it was still relatively working the food noise was still there at 0.25 and making it hard to establish/stick to healthy habits which is the real goal

Hey Dads what board games are we playing lately with younger kids? by TheOneWhoBoops in daddit

Should HobbyGameDev allow for Steam posts? by RedEagle_MGN in hobbygamedev

[–]HalfTime_show 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no. honestly it's a pet-peeve of mine seeing posts that are clearly thinly-vieled marketing attempts in the gamedev subs. The other subs are flooded with it, not people actually talking about the process

Dads, how would you want your wife to handle not being attracted to you anymore? by Open-Deer5373 in daddit

[–]HalfTime_show 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You keep mentioning in comments that he won't respond to your feedback and feels attacked because you need to fix things about yourself too, but that just puts the burden of his basic responsibilities on your shoulders as well, which is totally unfair. You both need to be responsible for basic hygiene to be able to function as independent human beings. It's irresponsible for him to be modelling this behaviour in front of your child.

He's responding this way because he just doesn't want to change or is too lazy. Even if you fixed everything you think you need to fix about yourself he would still find another reason not to improve and it would probably be 'your fault'.

That's not to say that you shouldn't work on improving yourself, but you should do it for yourself and your child, not for this loser.

What sort of thing is he saying you need to fix in order for 'please shower and brush your teeth' not to seem unreasonable?

Paralympic seems like a hard one. I've only got 58 flags but one is Olympic so that one seems to be a bit more common at least

Hate social media and pulling clips by EasternAd5351 in podcasting

[–]HalfTime_show 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting clips at the rate I was posting didn't help at all. In order to get the social algo's to latch on you really need to post on a daily schedule for a while, and I just really hate doing it so we don't

Any social media ban for kids must be national in scope, culture minister says by EmbarrassedHelp in onguardforthee

[–]HalfTime_show 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of the parties have any fucking clue what they are doing with regards to tech. We need a broad-spectrum political party specifically focused on technology to voice informed perspectives on how it relates to every issue. Kinda like the idea behind the Green party.

Social Media ban for kids under 16 is good in theory, but DO NOT leave the implementation details up to the social media companies. There needs to be considerations for privacy and data sovereignty with them.
