It's both, designer/engineer should have known but a good QA team would have caught it.

Oh no, anyway...

Ah yes for sure, Russia Today, probably not propaganda 🤣

For real, it's a bit insane that there's no air base on our country's border... Makes you wonder what would happen if we were attacked...

Mmmh, I don't not like it but calling it wholesome is a stretch

Damn... Now I want to play it...

Yeah that's the first thing that can make it confusing but my specialty is core gameplay on AAA games so it usually goes something like this:

  • Oh so you draw the characters? No I don't really draw, those are artists. I help make the characters move though.
  • Oh so you animate them? Er not really, those are animators, I help with the logic
  • Oh so you're a programmer? No, I do use scripting languages but I'm no programmer ... and so on...

I usually end up saying something like that if you were to make a board game, you would need an artist to draw up the assets and a game designer to make up the rules and they both work together so that's basically what I do but on a larger team and in a more micro scale.

I'm a game designer. Most people have a very hard time understanding what I do

Considering that FDA approval process takes years, I wouldn't say it's from the current administration.

That show was so good. Sadly it's not streaming legally anywhere, at least in Canada. I had to get the Blu Ray to watch it and honestly, it holds up. I wish they didn't cancel it...

 

!xenials@lemmy.ca

For the generation between Gen X and Millenials or anyone that's interested about it. Come share your music, memes, nostalgia or anything really.

 

Xennials is a portmanteau blending the words Generation X and Millennials to describe a "micro-generation" or "cross-over generation" of people whose birth years are between the mid-late 1970s and the early-mid 1980s.

Good magazine has described Xennials as "a micro-generation that serves as a bridge between the disaffection of Gen X and the blithe optimism of Millennials."

Xennials dated, and often formed ongoing relationships, pre-social media. They usually weren't on Tinder or Grindr, for their first go at dating at least. They called up their friends and the person they wanted to ask out on a landline phone, hoping that it wasn't their intended date's parent who picked up."

Basically, our childhood was internet less, we experienced the rise of internet during our teens and we learned to live with social media during our early adulthood.

We experienced the cold war, the rise of terrorism and are very aware of the impact of the west on the world. We were in college when the towers fell, we were part of the workforce when Facebook was created. We used IRC, ICQ Yahoo, Google, Netscape, Napster. Most of us didn't have a computer when we were young but started using them in High School.

We often identify with mix of Gen X and Millenials traits. We're often a a bit cynical but want to be hopeful and believe in people and society.

Obviously, generations are not fixed in stone and don't dictate who we are or how we think but as a group we often feel different than Gen X and Millenials. Our older siblings are Gen X, our younger siblings are Millenials, we're something in between.

 

Post your xenials playlists!

Here's one I made on Tidal because I couldn't find anything decent (suggestions welcome!) https://tidal.com/playlist/5a2e2d77-69c0-4134-9f8c-0f1e3fee221b

 

Trying to find a way to be able to chat at a distance with my kids when playing Minecraft together online.

I'm having a really hard time finding a privacy focused video/audio chat that isn't American or aimed at businesses.

Something like Signal would be perfect but they don't have a phone so yeah...

I tried to set up Jami but it's too difficult and it needs to be simple for them since the oldest is 10 :/

 

The package is basically the same as Stack TV with few additions and the ability to add Hollywood Suite.

It is owned by VMedia < Freedom Mobile < Videotron < Québecor

Not too sure why there's so many levels under Québecor but all the levels are Canadian owned and operated.
