Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?English
14·3 years ago“Do something that you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Bullshit. I worked in the video game industry in a field I’m very passionate about with great people who were all talented. But the industry burned me out and almost killed my passion for games as a hobby with the endless unpaid overtime, constant crunch and deadlines, fairly low wage and all that investment was rewarded by eventually being let go along with all the less senior staff because our studio was bought out and the parent company told to cut expenses.
Don’t work for the video game industry, people. Make indie games by all means. But stay clear of the big names.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?English
4·3 years agoBeans, lentils and rice are highly nutritious, can all be eaten cold or at room temperature and won’t spoil if you make them the day before and keep them in a closed Tupperware.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there any plugin or way to block forced registration
10·3 years agoThat’s what I do, use uBlock Origin to filter the pop-up. Then most site disable scrolling and that can usually be countered by finding the “overflow: hidden;” and turning it into “overflow: visible;” (you can also use uBlock Origin to inject “overflow: visible !important;” into the page for it to stay persistent.
Yes I wish there was an option to disable lateral swipe controls. The back arrow does the job just fine.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What generic products do you swear are superior to the name brand?
15·3 years agoCanned and processed food. Store brand os usually much cheaper and tastes the same if not sometimes better than the big brand names.
Things I want but don’t need like a beer at the store on Friday evening or a tablet of chocolate for the weekend or a game on Steam. So I try to minimize such purchases.
The school computer were running Windows Vista, poor things didn’t need to be messed with.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a single player PC game you can't get enough of?
4·3 years agoTotal War Warhammer games. I keep starting new campaigns to play all the races and subfactions.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What operating system do you use on your main computer?English
2·3 years agoWindows 10 Pro on my main desktop but I do have an old laptop now running Zorin OS Lite which I use mostly when I’m on vacation or taking a long train.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your niche hobbies you’d like to share with other people?English
8·3 years agoAlthough the overlap seems to point in that direction (and also the fact that I do enjoy the Witcher books and games very much) it’s rather coincidental:
I actually prefer fully acapella, white-voice songs (but I do enjoy instrumental ones too) And regarding leather I’m more into making gear like chokers, cuffs and whatnot (though I’m not trying to make any money out of it as I don’t sell)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your niche hobbies you’d like to share with other people?English
25·3 years agoI like traditional slavic folk music and leatherworking (which is misleading what I do is more like crafting rather basic things out of leather, I don’t tan or work the leather myself)

Jerboa@lemmy.ml•Will there be a multireddit feature in the futureEnglish
3·3 years agoI hope it will be added soon to Jerboa (but also most if not all other clients) because it feels counterproductive/annoying (especially for new users) to subscribe to several mostly-identical communities but each on a different instance.
Being able to create a sort of group I could name “XYZ” for example where I could gather the contents of xyz.instance1, xyz.instance2 and x-yz.instance3 would make fragmentation much easier to deal with and reduce the risks of communities deserting due to low population/engagement.

Absolutely nothing. Except for a small shelf that’s technically nailed to the wall but it’s painted in the same white as the wall so I’m not sure it counts.
