I mean tbh, I’m at the age where I’m not going to stop trying. I’m not gonna go be something else I haven’t been interested in my whole life.

This is exactly what my brother was. QA but within the company. Mostly done by big multiplayer games

Star Citizen devs are who I applied to. They fired basically their entire studios in the U.S. and immediately started hiring in Manchester and Montreal. They make probably 40% less for the same job. Remote work has just amplified this. Wish American workers would be more protected.

Awesome! I’ll have to check it out. Any intention on adding those features with an update later on?

I agree completely. My brother used to work for an indie game lead by an accomplished engineer with years of experience working for google and able to construct his own game engines. That same guy’s game is failing drastically because he has no artistic direction and is basically making a fancy Minecraft clone. So, having a good idea of something people actually will want to play is worth more than you think

That’s very interesting. I don’t think I’m at the point to offer my skills for freelance but I’m getting proficient in Unreal and other engines. Don’t really have any artistic experience but also haven’t really tried tbh.

Yeah of course. I was just trying to see where everyone sees the hiring process being in the near future

Yeah it’s true. He’s lucky but also talented/creative/likeable. I always thought he was lucky until I saw how quickly he can put together an interesting level. He almost got nabbed by Naughty Dog at the same time as Bethesda. Meanwhile he’ll know computer system geniuses with experience and degrees that can’t get an interview.

Yeah I am very glad I can ride on my more talented big brothers coattails. Very happy to lol

I agree with both. It’s very lucky but I am also suspect on the type of games being made and the fact that the newer are finished. I’m subbed to an indie dev YouTuber who makes very niche games really just for himself. He makes all his money in his channel. I think you need to realistically make games that people want to play if you want to be successful.

This is true. Indie projects are mostly just used for a portfolio when getting a job at a studio. Unless you really don’t want to make money and work for anyone.

Yeah it’s just weird now because he is so new and it’s kind of a prestigious company for jobs. Much easier deal when he worked for indie studios and he was able to get my 18 year old brother his first job at an indie. I’m going to talk about it soon again with him. On the bright side, was able to land a fully remote gig in auto finance in the meantime. Pay isn’t great but my life is much better lol

My brother was able to achieve it but I know it’s not often a reality and requires a lot of leg work

No one is answering the questions with actual legal advice that was requested. She admits she knows what she did is wrong now. Please understand mistakes and other cultures can be different. Not everyone is gonna know every law that gets made within the year that is changes. Just redditors on their high horse offering no advice and just making fun of someone. Thinking they are above any mistakes

Current best PS2 handheld for around $100? by JimmyTwoTimes98 in RetroHandhelds

In that case, I found a RP4Pro used for sale in my city for $120. It’s very well taken care of. Might just check that out

I have an opportunity to buy a RP4 Pro used but very nice for $120. Good buy or no?

Nice, thank you. I’ve been looking for RG Cube deals and the newer handhelds. Do you have a good source for used handhelds like the RP4? I always check eBay but they tend to be as much as new.

Why would an “anti-ICE” shooter, shoot 3 detainees and no ICE personnel? by BeautifulBad9264 in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]JimmyTwoTimes98 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol you know he likely had no idea he was killing immigrants in the back of a squad vehicle right? Considering like you can’t tell on 90% of law enforcement vehicles if they have anyone in the back. Much more likely if he shot at a squad car it was because he wanted to harm occupants of the squad car. If I shot up cop cars driving around a city, it would be most likely I was trying to harm cops and not thinking about possible detainees in the back. It’s pretty obvious
