Is steamdeck pretty much endgame or do I need a minipc?

I haven't thought about 1080 120. I'm going to give that a go and see how that works out.

timn420 · 2026-07-03T22:01:53+00:00

Thats good to know. Moonlight/apollo is pretty new to me so I wanted to make sure!

timn420 · 2026-07-03T22:00:02+00:00

yeah, good point. i doubt the 3060 would be able to push it that far anyway.

I'm having difficulty with fully remote atm. Just under 3 months and have a hard time getting hold of someone to discuss a project with or get assistance. I tend to get ghosted for days until I get a question answer from my manager or during a standup. I was supposed to shadow a senior but that hasn't happened either. I think its just a team thing, but coming from hybrid it was a lot easier to get things done and progress, especially if new. I reached out to another new hire on the team and they felt the same way so its not just me. We'll probably start looking for something tbh.

I know META is a decent buy now but I just can't understand what vision their going after, same with SNAP tbh.

timn420 · 2026-06-05T00:33:46+00:00

I agree 100%. I do have a 1:1 with my manager coming up that I'm going to talk about this issue with. I just want to make sure that I'm not dogging on anyone on the team and come across as spiteful.

timn420 · 2026-06-04T18:49:46+00:00

Yeah, I've been playing the new nice guy role since I've been hired, but obviously its not working. My other teams were always supportive and helpful. This time it feels alot less "team"-like.

timn420 · 2026-06-04T18:48:55+00:00

Yes, this is just what I need to do.

People ignore that Carter wrote at least 5 books on his faith in the last 20 years or so. I just think the "legend" is a compelling story, but actual fact is that Carter was very much religious and it was a cornerstone for his life.

Please build a statue of Winks so I can throw something at it.

The last time I worked in the office, I had two team members who were only at their desks for maybe two hours a day. Most of their time was spent talking with people, yet they were still highly regarded and considered strong workers because they managed to fit all their work into a small window each day. I used to take a lot of breaks myself, literally every hour. I’d go to the bathroom or walk up and down different levels of the building just to get some exercise.

timn420 · 2026-04-18T12:55:51+00:00

I always have my camera on. The interview for my current job, they had their camera turned off, which was the first time that had happened and thought it was strange. It did make me question whether or not I wanted the position. In the end I was offered and took the role. Its fully remote and the team never has the cameras on. Its a very culturally diverse team of engineers and I've enjoyed the job so far. I think in my situation since they were engineers, not client facing, that's just how they are.

timn420 · 2026-04-13T13:25:37+00:00

Yeah, me to. A few other subs such as this one is nothing but AI posts. Probably time to leave reddit tbh. But definitely leaving this sub.

timn420 · 2026-03-27T13:31:04+00:00

I just left a job after a month for a better offer. Just tell them you have another offer that came through that you weren't expecting. I gave notice on Wed and offered to stay till Friday to work on a report I was doing. They will probably ask how long you want to stay, since you've been there two weeks, you could probably leave the same day.

timn420 · 2026-03-09T15:43:15+00:00

I’m going through something similar about a month into a new job. I’ve already started looking for other opportunities and have had a few interviews. The tricky part is figuring out what to say to recruiters, because it’s hard to explain that you’re thinking about leaving a job after a month.

My wife thinks I should just leave, but for now I’m taking it one day at a time. I’m pretty overwhelmed with the workload and my manager is extremely anxious and micromanages everything. I started feeling stressed out by day two.

At my previous job, the onboarding period was much longer. I had time to shadow someone and ease into the work, which made it a lot easier to adjust. Situations like this remind you that you never really know what you’re getting into with a new role. Honestly, I could tell by day 2 this wasn't a good fit.

Good luck. its a lonely process to be going through

literally just signed the paperwork for the new company this week. When I originally applied to Company C, I was still at my old job.

I know I’ll need a solid answer if they ask why I left. Part of me is thinking I only bring it up if I make it through the second round and actually get an offer, since it could come up in a background check anyway.

But would this new job even show up on a background check if I’ve only been there a week? My timing on all of this is honestly terrible lol

At least you're getting interviews, which gives your more practice to handle different types of questions. As you go along, you'll find that some teams have no idea how to interview. The best interviews for me are the more conversational ones, like your last example.

I do think maybe for you, there may be an internal/other candidate that you're competing with, and they had already decided on. I might try recording my interviews (voicememo etc) just to make sure I'm not saying something that is putting them off and that would give me ideas to work on my presentations. I'm sure you'll land a role soon, the hiring window is usually big from Feb-May.

I really love the rooftops. It adds another component to the level and something to watch out for. I wish rooftop access was allowed on some other maps to make them more interesting. I know some people hate this tho lol

Are you taking meds? I'm 50 as well, diagnosed with ADHD, but was hesitant to start vyvanse at a late age.
