+10000 commie points for PUSA reference

The easter one doesn’t even make sense lmao did they glue them together???

I couldnt find it referenced as anything but labor day anywhere, but who knows I suppose!

Sweden definitely celebrates it as labor day, lots of marches and stuff

Do you have any sources for these? And is there any data on how the working conditions are in terms of safety, stress, etc? I’d love to have this post as something i can show libs, but as it is it’ll just be handwaved away :c

Yeah it was just an open goal of a joke, didn’t mean to be an ass 🙈

You wouldn’t happen to think of yourself as a world-class programmer by any chance?

Do you have a source for this? I’d love to read more 🧐🧐

Lethal Company is genuinely a great game too. Theres a lot of attention to detail in many aspects of the design, insanely impressive for a solo project

Friendly reminder that dota 2 has amazing native linux support and valve is recently taking direct actions against cheaters and smurfs without resorting to intrusive anti-cheats cccc:

Incredible post, thank you!

Is it hard/expensive to get started with an aquarium? I love the idea with it but it’s scary to get started :c

I enjoy his aggressive “please be normal” energy towards any church vibes in chat too

NL is the one good lib we will spare him once the revolution comes

Wtf rare hexbear NL mention???

Agreed on all points but why you gotta do video games dirty like that :c If you’re just mindlessly grinding wow or playing cod (or whatever other awful slop) yeah that’s definitely not a hobby, but there are many more ways to engage with and express yourself through the medium.

In my case, it’s one of the primary ways I hang out with my friends when we can’t meet in person, and I’ve many people who I’ve known since I was a teen through games (and related communities).

This isn’t even getting into the whole thing of making games, modding them, and otherwise using the medium for actual creative fulfilment.

Sorry for the Ted talk I didn’t mean to. As an indie dev I just react strongly to the notion that video games are mindless toys no functioning adult should ever take seriously.

It’s canon that fallen knight set is full of piss

True true it’s funny either way

Yeah more or less. It’s used like cracker but for white swedes and it’s really funny (disclaimer I’m a svenne)

I think it’s worth trying an “if if not for you, do it for me” angle. Her getting burned out doesn’t just hurt herself, it also hurts you (and others close to her). Just like the two of you probably have boundaries in your relationship related to giving each other space and so on, she needs to set boundaries in her relationship with her work.

From your description it sounds like she might be neurodivergent which I understand can make it trickier to “just stop doing bad thing lmao”. Once you’re in that place mentally it can also be hard to really see the damage you are doing to yourself. It might be easier for her to see the value in being a little “selfish” (as in not vending over backwards for her employer) if it is framed as a way to make someone she cares about (you) happier.

Of course I don’t know the specifics of your relationship or her as a person, this is just my take. Much love, comrade!
