iamtherealwalrus,

Content quality is very subjective, as in that’s just your opinion. Other players may think it’s good.

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

iamtherealwalrus,

I develop C# on Linux, but I run the full VS inside of a Windows 10 VM.

Newsflash: Not everyone is a teenager on lemmy, many of us have spouses and children.

What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

iamtherealwalrus,

My wife is still playing this, going on 4 years.

Also Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

iamtherealwalrus,

Sea of Thieves. Revisiting it after several years of not playing it, and finding it just as much fun now as it uses to be.

iamtherealwalrus,

The article states the layoffs will affect the UK division and EU division, I am assuming you are basing your statement on US laws. www.gov.uk/redundancy-your-rights/notice-periods states that you will get paid for X number of weeks depending on how long you have been in your job.

What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?

I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?

I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.

iamtherealwalrus,

Powerline networking is often limited by the fact that a lot of houses/apartments have multiple circuits and circuit brakes are the nemesis of powerline networking.

iamtherealwalrus,

Earlier, multiple sources had indicated that Xbox is looking to foray into third party development, with ports of several first party titles rumored to arrive on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2

So I guess they know more about the next Switch console than the rest of us.
