Quoting: GuestSadly another job though where could I do it? Yes. Can I _prove_ I can do it on a CV? No. My recordable work history took a different route.

My impression was there's more job offers than (good) developers, so I guess there might be a chance without prove of work?

Quoting: tuubiAny comments on what we can expect from the game? Is it fun?

It's basically a point and click with an exorcism minigame.

Let's say it's quirkiness didn't resonate with mine. If you like what you see in the trailer on Steam, it might be worth a look. Because that doesn't resonate with me either. :-)

*edit* Not saying anything about it did say something about it, no? ;)

Quoting: GuestTo be honest, i played the penumbra titles because at the time there was not much choice.
Next i tried Amnesia, but i really did not like it too much, next it was SOMA and MAN, what a story.
I really hope it is something like that.

For me, Amnesia was great as the first experience of being defenceless in a video game.
I'm not sure if it would have been that great if it wouldn't have been the first.

I beta tested it and it worked all fine.
One library was used that was not available on my system, but they removed the dependency.

Quoting: 14It seemed hyper-sensitive and maybe missing the point to be triggered on the 1% issue based on this donation news. That is really what I'm trying to understand -- whether I'm missing a simple and obvious connection, or if some of us are conceited.

I was triggered by the following:

The fact that Facebook gave money to OBS does not take away any of your money to donate somewhere of your choosing.

Of course it doesn't, but when looking at the whole... donation industry, people giving literally billions of bucks does take lots of meaning from what you and me have to give. And donating is executing power.

That said, yes, the connection isn't obvious and I'm fine with being called triggered. :)

Quoting: 14So, the OP was Facebook donating money, and that makes you angry.

Not at all, and I don't even have an idea where you took that from.

Quoting: 14I do not understand the point you're making. I mean, I get the point, but it's not applicable. A rich entity donated money somewhere, and that somehow makes it pointless for anyone that's not rich to donate anywhere...?

If, say, the richest one percent of the people got 50 % of the money, and the majority of the other ones cannot donate at all because they actually need their money, yes, donations of the non-richest actually get less and less important.

Quoting: 14It's sounding to me like you wish you could control Facebook's money yourself. Or, maybe your solution would be that nobody is allowed to earn lots of money or not allowed to donate. What is your ideal here?

I don't know honestly, but for sure it's far from 1 % of the people controlling half of the wealth and controlling welfare by giving or not giving their donations. What's yours? You're cool with the actual situation?

Yeah, after the wealthiest people and companies spent their billions, I'm still free to decide where to put my ten bucks. Cool.

Reminds me of the quote: "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt is possible to have the best of both worlds IMO. The likes of Kickstarter and Patreon show the way. First, collect the taxes. Then, give everyone power to assign an equal share of the money--what do you want to fund in Gov-starter?

I fear there's unpopular topics (e.g. therapies for some... disorders) such system is unlikely to generate money for, though they are quite helpful.

Quoting: SalvatosNow if only we could get a similar announcement for Borderlands 3 (announced yesterday to come to Steam on the 13th of March). Come on Feral!

Didn't they do the previous Linux versions themselves?

Quoting: kuhpunktYes, but not buying it now on Steam (for Linux) would make the situation worse, wouldn't it?

I absolutely think so. I might see it differently if I were on Windows. (But probably not even then.)
