The smaller community can be a selling point. On reddit, a single voice pretty much gets drowned out by the masses. Lemmy feels much more personal and like an actual community.
I work as a software developer, making 3d, Virtual- and Augmented Reality applications for industrial and commercial customers. For example I make trainings where you learn how to operate certain machines in VR or tourism apps where you can explore the history of a place through phone AR. Basically, I do the same thing as a game developer, often using game engines like Unreal and Unity, but not making actual games.
I work from home, so a typical day is just me sitting in front of my computer for 8 hours a day. Sometimes I have to visit a customer or a trade show for a few days, so I'll take the train and stay at a hotel somewhere. It's generally a pretty interesting job where I get to use a lot of different tools and hardware. It's also not very stressful, in contrast to actual game development.
Didn’t Willie Nelson out smoke Snoop Dogg at one point?
Probably. They even did a collaboration song together, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die". Pretty funny hearing Snoop sing a country song.
This one for example. Don't know whether it technically has internet, but the smartest function it seems to have is FM radio.
Old-school "outlaw" country music is great. Like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and the like.
There are totally still working dumb phones that use 4g. Just be prepared for giant buttons, as the target group is mostly elderly people.
Yes, it is. If they’re in a flat, probably flour moths. Your friend should check any containers with food, especially grains.
In theory, yes. Only problem is that we need a dev team willing to develop one. Mozilla won't do it if it's just for Europe apparently.
The little Polish (formerly German) village my grandma grew up in. She never got to see it again after the war, so I want to make the pilgrimage there in remembrance of her.
The family treasure is also supposedly still buried there, but I don't think the locals would appreciate a random German digging holes in their village so I'll refrain from searching for it...
It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it's fine to do so. At this point, it's probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn't write a fantasy novel and name a city "Minas Tirith", as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, "Dragonstone" is just fine IMO, even though it's a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).
Die Bahn hat ja mehr als genug Probleme, aber die Bahnhöfe sind wie ich finde vollkommen in Ordnung. Ähnlich sauber bis sauberer als in anderen europäischen Ländern und besonders unsicher habe ich mich auch nie gefühlt. Die Zugangskontrollen die es in manchen anderen Ländern gibt habe ich als eher nervig empfunden. Vor allem wenn es dann so läuft wie z.b. in Großbritannien, wo man als Interrail-Nutzer nicht einfach sein Ticket scannen kann sondern es immer einem Mitarbeiter zeigen muss um durchgelassen zu werden. Das jetzt wieder bei uns einzuführen wäre meiner Meinung nach absolut rausgeschmissenes Geld das die Bahn an anderen Stellen bitter nötig hat.
Learning-wise, I'd say starting on PC makes much more sense. You'll have a much easier time developing and debugging the game, as you can test right on the device you're using to create the game. In terms of it being profitable, it's very likely that your first game won't be. I'd look at it as a learning experience first and foremost that will enable you to make profitable games in the future.
