Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
.
It’s partially a function of how we’ve raised them. Many grew up hearing how “special” they were.
It turns out that most kids aren’t really special.
And, following their “passion” is a fast-track to a lifetime of making caramel macchiatos at Starbucks. Because no matter how special your kid may seem, they aren’t likely to be the next Tom Brady or Taylor Swift.
I’m #lucky enough to #work in #academia for 15 years now, with a permanent position since 2016. My job is nothing less than my #passion.
Still, today, after one week of #holidays, I’m NOT eager to go back to work. I know many people also feel the same after holidays, because their job is somehow painful. For the very first time to me, I’m like them.
I’m still extremely lucky to be in a group with talented young #researchers, for whom I want the best and do everything I can.
The respect and admiration we have for our idols and industry greats comes from our sometimes oblivious realization that they put in the work to get there
…AND made it.
Her Interactive is about to release a banger, on 7th of May! 🤯 After temporary fall from the most unfortunate entry, they rise from their knees and fly very high. Welcome 34th game in the series:
It's a HUGE upgrade, when you compare these cinematics with other ND visual novels. Can't wait to get a feel of the gameplay that they, most likely, improved in accordance to general feedback as well.
There is so much to do in and explore new locations: in 3D, no less! Essentially, you can have a ride to Prague as the detective Nancy Drew in this game and play brain crackers, haha. :blobcattea:
Despite me being positive about #ND34, the newest entry for #NancyDrew videogame series, there is a merit in finding how we've got here in the first place and if #HerInteractive is a trustworthy studio.
Right of the gate, we see the drastic difference in how previous, #ND33 game performed after successful 32 inclusions... It's darn #MID, if you ask me. :thisIsFine: So, it was being developed after the big #layoff in Her, where most positions got bestowed on a new crew. Only that it was going hand-in-hand with new CEO's delusion of a #passion mobile project. Add here a camp of the #fanbase which insists on a regular ND release schedule, #hustle culture, and you have a case of rushed development, #crunch and leaving everyone with a subpar ND game. If anything, I guess old crew was spared nerve cells in expense of new blood being under equally subpar direction - lucky to be fired, unlucky to be hired? Oof.
Hi, @searls. Since you linked to an old Medlum post of mine in your @testdouble blog, I checked out the archived version.
I must have been really drunk when I bashed that out. It's got dropped words and typos everywhere. Nevertheless, I meant it and I stand by it, so I've posted a cleaned up version.
In light of the news that Authy is discontinuing their desktop app in August of 2024, we want to let everyone know that Tuta supports all major authenticator apps & U2F keys. 🔐
No need to worry about compatibility when making the jump to a new authenticator app.🤹
