Wouldn’t it be easier if a bunch of people paid a dollar every second, and one of those people was randomly selected to get every dollar submitted?
Oka@sopuli.xyzto Gaming@beehaw.org•Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union15·2 months agoOr, just stop games from selling in-game content?
Every skin is a texture or model swap, every “exclusive” always exists in the files, every in-game currency is fabricated.
Games try really really hard to make you pay for something that is copy and pasted
Oka@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most deceptive thing that you’ve experienced?24·2 months agoMaybe not by definition, but in terms of operations, yes. If it wasn’t operated like a private company, it wouldn’t need a union.
And guess what union is probably the largest in the US?
National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC)

Oka@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most deceptive thing that you’ve experienced?98·2 months agoMany “government” entities in the US are private for-profit companies: Postal Service, vehicle licensing, electric companies, water companies, which control the very infrastructure of everyday life.
Capitalism.
Genuine opinion: Who cares?
Who cares if what we enjoy is changing, at all. It’s kinda like if you go to a bowling alley, to go bowling. Do you show up and decide to bowl if there’s other people bowling or not? I’m gonna go bowling regardless, that’s why I went to the bowling alley.

Oka@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What opinions about the tech industry do you feel comfortable expressing here, but not in public/at work?10·5 months agoIve been programming as a hobby before I got a degree in game programming last year. I applied to as many companies as I could, for 6 months, before my funds ran dry. I was forced to go back to min wage.
I’ve seen people program, and I’ve seen people “program”. People who “program” do it 10 times faster than someone who takes the time to solve the problem and build a modular solution that scales.
Who is the company going to hire, the person who fixes it fastest, or the person who fixes it right?
I’m using my degree to seek a new career. I love programming, but I can’t fight the industry.
Not exactly. There is a web-based game called GeoGuesser, where users are given a picture and guess where the picture was taken on a map. You get a higher score the closer you get.
One player I follow called GeoWizard makes YouTube videos of his games, as well as challenges himself to find locations of fan photos and such. Your situation sounds like the ladder. :D
On a different note, he also takes on real life challenges, such as crossing European countries in a (nearly) straight line, or traveling as far as he can with just 10 pounds in his pocket. Recommend checking out a series if you’ve got time.
Maybe a GeoGuesser community
