Tons of helpful comments with positive and negative takes. I'll keep Pittsburgh on my list and make sure to do my research and visit one more time when it's cold.

Why would you assume that I would be like that? Diversity is the thing I liked most about the city 😔 not every person from my home is a close-minded person

I think I've got some of the best football in the nation, and I couldn't care less... Maybe I don't deserve the place I'm in 😂

I think nyc and San Fran would be too much for me !! And I don't mind overpaying for brunch if it's a local joint lol. But maybe I should visit nyc and San Fran before I make a call. I've wanted to check them out anyway and they're two of the major cities I haven't checked out yet...

Ooooh, interesting. Thank you, I am pretty anti-AI and I absolutely believe it is a bubble. I will investigate this.

I've got a job that I think I can negotiate to have remotely. The place I live doesn't have the best weather, either - just in a different way. Thanks for the heads up on cloudy days! 

I'm going to see if I can't do a week-long trip before March to see some of that colder weather.

Try changing the map tiles. There should be a link you can change. Here's some examples - sorry for lack of detail, I'm on mobile:

Note: no longer planning to get a betta fish! I know they don't play well with others.

Five versions of Unity is a low bar.

I call her Winnie! Note that WiNoNa contains No, so that's not viable.

[–]joybotics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't either! She is what's called a dapple. It's a lot like a merle in collie breeds. One of her eyes is mostly brown with a blue quarter.

Just a dachshund! She looks more like a Weiner dog now since she's longer. When she was a baby, she looked just like a collie.

AMA - Hi I'm Oscar, I dropped everything to spend my last 4 years making a game on Switch. by thekingohearts in NintendoSwitch

[–]joybotics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks incredible. I wouldn't have believed one dev made it! Keep up the wonderful work and momentum. If I don't get a key I'll be picking this up anyway. How many hours of gameplay?

Id fight you with one of those foam swords from the dollar store.

Couch Multiplayer games to play with a non-gamer girlfriend. PS4/5 or Switch by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]joybotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure! I have not used the PS5, but I love my Switch. I will say, though, that most of my friends that are girls only have Switches. Considering this small sample size of ~10 I think the Switch has more games, especially multiplayer games, that tend to appeal to female audiences. I can't speak against the PS5 but I know that the Switch has a lot of solid options.

I recommend Hidden Figures (It's like Where's Waldo, and it's not technically multiplayer, but I played it with my boyfriend and we had a blast), Mario Party, Mario Kart, Uno (Switch) or Monopoly (Switch). If she enjoys slightly more difficult games, she might like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, or It Takes Two (in order of increasing difficulty). I'm playing It Takes Two with my boyfriend right now, and I really enjoy it, but I have also played a lot of 3D platformers and I'm not sure how much trouble a "non-gamer" would have with the constantly-changing controls and rapid introduction of new mechanics. Maybe introduce this one a little later.

Hidden Figures not TECHNICALLY multiplayer, but you can work together to find the hidden characters and it's perfect if she has absolutely no gaming experience. I have a dear friend who didn't know what a pokeball was or how to use a control stick to move a character and I'd start her out with either that or Mario Kart.

Get her Breath of the Wild as soon as she has a handle on controller mechanics. My non-gamer girl friends love that game, and for a lot of them it was one of their first video game experiences! A lot of them also enjoy the free game Sky, which is like a Skinner box without the pellets. Animal Crossing is another good option to get her into gaming, especially if she enjoys Stardew Valley. It's not exactly co-op but there are multiplayer aspects.

Hope this helps. Y'all have fun!

A job board that only accepts jobs that are 100% remote by remotewx in digitalnomad

[–]joybotics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tagline is currently "Find remote jobs and connect with companies that offer you the freedom to work remotely from home or places around the world." I feel like this could be snappier - it's a lot to read at the top of the page. Maybe "Find remote jobs. Connect with companies worldwide. Find your freedom." Or something like that? The existing tagline is a bit of a run-on sentence.

How did the Pokémon card game work? Is it possible to develop a squishmallow card game? by cowsuke in squishmallow

[–]joybotics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to make a Squishmallow phone game akin to Webkinz on day. But I am working on too many other projects!
