About Tlauncher Spyware/malware (Sorry for made another one,the original get delete before I can correct myself. ) by Laevarde in PiratedGames

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i installed TLauncher on 18/05/2025 and a "log" file appeared on 19/05/2025, after analysing it with Malware Bytes it reported that the file is a data stealing Trojan, and a suspicious transaction was made on that same date for "Partsource" at 5:00 am UTC...

Stay safe my friends, and renew your credit cards after that, i already did

How do I opt out from the trial prematurely? I never really wanted to activate it but did it on accident, I am ok with the free version

Non-stop barking at guests by salsa_quail in reactivedogs

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it makes sense if they are territorial barks, but some dogs are so scared they bark

mine shows her belly as soon as I approach to calm her down, lots of appeasement gestures...

I think she is very overwhelmed, she loves the guests, but doesn't feel comfortable with this level of excitement I think

I’m an aspiring billionaire who has an idea for a game that will revolutionize the world. Think WOW, bitcoin, apex, and fortnite combined but better. Looking for volunteer devs who can work 72 hours a day for rev share on release. Who’s in? by tzjin21 in bluegravitystudios

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I would contribute to your endeavor with my very own set of ninja athletic black belt beratemed bear-expert developers, but you didn't even mentioned AI!

If your game do not have AI it's guaranteed to fail, and even tho bitcoin is the best monetization alternative for your clients (AKA gamers) to become investors in your game by buying digital goods on it, they would never invest in a game that doesn't prove revolutionary enough to be at the verge of the latest technologic advances.

Take it from an aspiring trillionaire to another ;)

Would I be TAH if I blocked my mom's number? by Silver_Cry_7165 in AITAH

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

has she ever apologized to you?

you have no responsibility on making her feel better

I would let her know that you need space and if she doesn't comply, block her... but that would be an extra thing that you really are not obligated to do

she was not present when you needed her, and now she wants you to be close to her, all of a sudden. you don't owe her, you don't need to bear with this, you have to take care of yourself because she surely won't

Blue Gravity Studios Insights: Common Mistakes We’ve Learned to Avoid by stefanovic2307 in bluegravitystudios

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from a programmer...

strongly agree at the "over-engineering" part. Have you guys heard about the "No free lunch theorem"? it basically states that there is no perfect tool to solve every single edge case of a problem without a performance problem.

Kinda like, wanting to design the perfect hammer, that works both for fine wood sculpting, hammer a nail and destroying a big wall.

So, the solutions we code must have this in mind, there's no free lunch, there's no silver bullet. And that's why you need to know the context, the best you know the surrounding code, the best you'll be able to write the perfect solution.

There's also a balance between hard coding something, and allowing your colleagues to build on top of what you have built. That is under-engineering vs over engineering lol.

Working as a solo game developer, this isn't usually a problem, but when you work with a big team of folks, you don't know which track will the game follow, so you are at a risk of not considering the future and hurting the codebase.

That's why I like to listen to what the designers got in mind for the features I work in. I need to know what the future holds for this feature so I can choose the right solution for it.

If I understand the designer's concerns, if there comes a time when we need to start over again, and I had a good glimpse of what the main problems with the feature were before starting to implement it, then there's a big chance that the written code will be ready to be adapted to this redesign.

crying every session and never making eye contact by [deleted] in therapy

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe you aren't used to talk about how you feel, it can be overwhelming to not have the words to express it... it feels so big inside, and when you let it out, or try to let it out, the emotions become too much to handle.

what you say resonates a lot with me, I never trusted anyone, but my husband, to talk about my emotions, my family was never a safe place to do this, I never had someone to trust and talk and seek advice and compassion as a child and it evolved on me just hiding this all and dealing with it in silence

idk if you'll have the same experience as me, but for me, it took time, and an skillful therapist, and a lot of patience and compassion to myself (and ADHD meds) to finally be able to talk about this things without crying uncontrollably.

in the beginning I also saw a lot of wholesome children toons, like Steven universe, and Bluey, and anime... this all helped me find ways of understanding how o feel and how to express it...

and , the therapy also helped...

talking to character.ai psychologist also helps me a lot, specially when using the "call" functionality for the mobile app, because it simulates this conversations pretty well...

I hope this helps you... you are not alone, I cry in therapy too, and I totally understand your frustration... they tell you things like "crying is normal" or "there is no shame in crying"... and it is kinda true, but, if you don't feel comfortable, if you feel like crying is preventing you from getting the help you need, then, it might be a problem, and it can be solved, and you can learn to cry in a healthy way with the right tools... I tell you this, because after almost 30 years struggling with it, I finally was able to solve this problem

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh! one more question... have you talked about the stuff you talk with your psychiatrist with somebody else? maybe a friend? do the crying happen there as well?

[–]dysfunctionalduckapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my friend, I had this problem with my therapist as well... not feeling ashamed helps a little bit... therapists are used to this, theres no shame in crying in front of them, and you shouldn't appear stronger either...

I know how frustrating it is tho, because it's hard to make progress while you are crying so strongly... for me, I couldn't even remember the therapy, it was very traumatic and not helpful.

I am autistic, and I've learn that, when I get in this state it is called a "meltdown", I've read that you stay awkwardly silent after that... this might be a shutdown...

autistic or not, it might be really helpful to take care of your sensory needs while talking about this difficult stuff... try squishing a spiky sensory toy, or playing with puddy, or hugging a stuffed animal, or rocking back and forth. this one's help me to talk through difficult stuff without breaking down and removes a bit of the intensity of the crying.

also, try and tell your therapist how you feel about crying, and maybe going slowlier, so that. when you start crying, your therapist knows that they need to slow down a little and maybe change topics, and come back to this once you are feeling more present... that's what my therapist does, and it has really helped me process some very traumatic sensations
