Yeah. In my experience when people complain about being banned for “no reason” from a platform but don’t post the actual comment that got them banned, it’s because it would be blindingly obvious to everyone why they were banned if they actually posted it.

What was the comment?

Criminals will be required to work social services for the common good. High-risk criminals will also be put under constant surveillance either by automated systems or, in extreme cases, Human guards to stop them from reoffending.

Maybe look into being self-employed. There should be some opportunities there for a computer engineer. Working remotely for a company in a different area or even country might also be an option, depending on whether that’s legally possible in Cambodia.

Learning-wise, I’d say starting on PC makes much more sense. You’ll have a much easier time developing and debugging the game, as you can test right on the device you’re using to create the game. In terms of it being profitable, it’s very likely that your first game won’t be. I’d look at it as a learning experience first and foremost that will enable you to make profitable games in the future.

Yes, it is. If they’re in a flat, probably flour moths. Your friend should check any containers with food, especially grains.

I agree, awesome work! I don’t think the site has ever been so fast and snappy.

In theory, yes. Only problem is that we need a dev team willing to develop one. Mozilla won’t do it if it’s just for Europe apparently.

It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it’s fine to do so. At this point, it’s probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn’t write a fantasy novel and name a city “Minas Tirith”, as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, “Dragonstone” is just fine IMO, even though it’s a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).

I have a perfectly capable gaming PC but more often than not, I choose to play on the Steam Deck instead. I already sit at my desk for work most of the day, so it’s nice having a dedicated gaming device that I can take with me and sit in the garden or on my sofa. And of course I can take it with me when travelling.

I think it’s exactly those stories that give people a false impression when they come here. It’s not that they are false, most of the time you’ll certainly find people who can speak decent English. A tourist probably won’t need any German, but when it comes to living here long-term, dealing with bureaucracy, finding a job or making friends, knowing German is pretty essential.

Time to learn a new language, unless you’re moving to Ireland or Malta I guess. Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.

Anyway, I think you’ll get better answers if you specify a country. The EU is quite diverse, so I don’t think there’s a ton of advice that’ll be true everywhere in the EU.

It’s not shielded properly, so the surrounding electronics cause crackles, buzzing and similar noise. AFAIK this was the case for all OLED models on launch. Might be fixed for newer ones, I’m not sure. Apparently it can be fixed by opening the Deck and sticking on some eletric insulation tape.

I mostly use the built-in speakers. Sometimes my IEMs, using a USB-C dongle as my OLED’s headphone jack is pretty noisy (I know it’s easy to fix, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet).

It’s a pretty normal thing in Japanese, yes. You’d know from context which meaning it is based on who you’re talking to.

It’s also a problem that’s getting worse. When I was in school in the 2000s, like 80% of the kids took the bus and half of the remaining ones (like me) came by bike. Now my niece goes to the same school and she’s one of very few kids still taking the bus there. The schoolyard turns into a chaotic mess of SUVs every morning. I guess it goes hand in hand with helicopter parenting becoming normalized.

There is an article about him on Know Your Meme. Apparently it’s just a character some guy on Twitter made.

I don’t actually know, but in my mind the audience most likely to watch those cruel “pranks” and find them funny are kids or teenagers themselves.

I’d love to get another singleplayer game as well, but I’ve accepted that Valve is just unpredictable. I’m sure they haven’t given up on Singleplayer and we’ll get another singleplayer game… at some point. Their previous game was the fantastic Half-life Alyx after all.

Also games and console collecting for me. Just not fun with today’s prices. I guess on the upside my collection is now worth way more than what I paid for it. Not that I’m planning to sell.
