Worked on a personal game for 7 years nearly every day. Signed with a publisher and gave up on the project the following year.

Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Games@sh.itjust.works•Third-party Switch 2 game sales have started off slow, with one publisher selling ‘below our lowest estimates’English5·24 days agoIs there any third party game on switch 2 that wasn’t on the first switch? Looking at the Nintendo store I can’t even tell.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have “the” or “a” in your language? What language is it?1·1 month agoI was gonna edit the comment to add a similar note right after posting but I was already half asleep and apparently I didn’t do it.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have “the” or “a” in your language? What language is it?8·1 month agoPortuguese, we do and we use it in everything. Even something simple like “for my Father” most of us say “for the my Father”.
“Sou filho do meu pai”
Translating literally becomes:
“am son of the my Father”
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you believe that most people act according to their own self-interest? Is acting only according to your self-interest a good strategy in life?9·1 month agoAutistic people will often do the right thing simply because they were taught it is what they are supposed to do - with no consideration of how they’ll feel about it.
And ADHD people don’t get to feel good about anything they do.
Combine the two and you get the ultimate altruists!

Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?5·1 month agoBottoms.
The script feels terrible and they don’t even try to make you like the characters. But the jokes always land perfectly. It’s a great movie to have a laugh and nothing else.

Phen@lemmy.eco.brto World News@beehaw.org•Reddit sues AI company Anthropic for allegedly 'scraping' user comments to train chatbot Claude25·1 month agoSee, reddit should be happy with users deleting their own comments.
Usually none. I only have an inner monologue when I explicitly want to have one and in that case it works just like talking: I can use any language I want.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?1·1 month agoNot cried, but Trevor Moore’s death shook me as that was the first time someone I enjoyed the work of died while I was still expecting to see more work from them in the future.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Do you actually audit open source projects you download?14·2 months agoI’ve worked on FOSS stuff with very large user bases and seen very obvious flaws go unnoticed for several years, so I guess most people don’t.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Privacy@lemmy.ml•End of 10 — Windows 10 is reaching the end of its support. Time to make the switch to Linux.2·2 months agoIt’s pretty bad at anything with large amounts of both data and formulas.
As an example, if you try to make a spreadsheet for managing resources of any basic Colony Sim game (something with a list of items and recipes to turn them into other items and keep track of quantities), then you’re already beyond the computing capacity of the browser based excel.

Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Technology@beehaw.org•Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites18·2 months agoSearch WAS good when it was a simple search. Sites were indexed by the search engine and if you searched for the words you wanted to find, the results would be exactly that. In that context, it worked perfectly.
But the problem was that most people used search engines in a different way. They weren’t searching for specific content, but searching for answers to questions. And for that, search engines would only show results that had that same question and then you’d need to hope that the question had been answered.
Over time, search engines kept shifting into trying to better support the questions and answers format, making the basic content search worse as a result. Where we are now, neither or them works too well. Google is now better at understanding what people are trying to search, but worse at finding it.
AI is just expanding this with yet another layer: it might make Google better at understanding what you search and maybe even might be better at finding it than the engine is now, but it’ll add the ability to misinterpret the results too.
Honestly I’d be pretty happy if I had a simple indexed search again.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had an experience you can't explain?71·2 months agoUhhh, but the three examples you gave are not inexplicable.
OK, our reality might have a purpose or meaning given by a god - but then what about that god’s purpose/meaning? Was it given by yet another one higher up? You can keep going up layers like this and finding meaning on each one, but eventually there has to be a final one, a reality that was not designed by anyone. But why does it exist?
Some people may say that there’s no proof that we actually exist. And maybe we don’t, but the fact that we can think and experience things means that even if our reality is somehow fake, there has to be one that isn’t. Because if nothing existed, there would be nothing at all. Not a void, just nothing, not even the possibility of existence. So something, at some level, must exist. But why?
“Because God created us” is not good enough for me, because it doesn’t answer anything. If we exist because a god created us, that still means that a god existed before us. Why does this god exists then?
We’ll never find out. Any answer we find will only open things up for new questions. And just like a child that is just starting to experience things, we’ll never run out of questions.
From time to time I get a ride from someone at work I have zero interest of becoming friends with. In those rides I get glimpses of a complete different reality where he and his friend group lives. It is horrifying and it completely matches the description of the parent comment.
For some people it is pretty common. For others, it isn’t. The thing is: the people that treat it as a common everyday thing expect that to be the case for everyone - so if you interact with them routinely, you’d probably think that everybody is out to cheat at all times, but that’s definitely not the norm.
Damn now how am I gonna live without “Change my cursor to Sims 4”?
