That is highly possible. I have a few coworkers on my job (software QA) that are on an H-1B. They have to be very calculated about both their professional and even personal life decisions because it all hinges on having/keeping a job.
I have 2 that I can recommend. First is the known quantity - the 8bitdo Pro 2. Primarily because of the dpad placement, it's an excellent controller for older retro games. Well-built, wireless capability, remappable buttons, etc etc. Covers Windows, Mac, Android, and Switch. You know the drill.
But the GameSir T4 Kaleid really surprised me. For a little over $41 you get: hall effect sticks AND triggers, microswitch face buttons, 2 back paddles, remaps, and possibly the cleanest implementation of RGB strips I've seen on an electronic device, ever. There are only 2 downsides for me: the GameSir logo (chickens are cool but just not my thing), and it's wired only. Otherwise it's a seriously awesome piece of kit.
I've never owned an Xbox in my life, only PlayStations, so I thought I wouldn't like the staggered joystick layout, but it is surprisingly comfortable.
What a fucking glowing recommendation and endorsement from an absolutely reputable organization. /s
On the other hand, I feel for those engineers at Twitter. Yeah they are choosing to stay, but one, for those of them who really believe in Twitter as a tool, it's not so easy to leave it behind all because corporate leadership is acting dumb, and two, even though Twitter still looks great on a resume, switching jobs is not as easy as stopping to go work for one place on one day and starting in another the next.
Good insights! Yeah if it gives you a mental/emotional boost then it's pretty worth it, especially since that'll translate well to the rest of your day.
Why I asked my original question is because I'm currently on those meal kit things, and the one I'm subscribed to sends the food fully cooked and ready to eat, you just have to pop it in the microwave. And it's pretty tasty stuff, doesn't look too preprocessed. But it does get expensive. So I was considering the alternative of cooking daily to save money, which sounds funny because 99.9% of people probably do that.
And I'm kinda on the fence about meal prepping because the idea of eating the same thing a few days in a row doesn't really appeal to me.
I guess I'll find out this week which is more sustainable for my situation!
ActRaiser blew my mind the first time I played it. Having the chance to descend into your creation for some sidescrolling action was absolutely a surprise.
This is my biggest hurdle most days. I live alone so that much effort for something that I'll probably consume in about 10-15 minutes, in the middle of the workday, is kinda hard for me to reconcile. Is it worth it? And I don't mean in the "self-care is always worth it" kind of way. 😂
For me, the aesthetics. I've always thought the iPhone 4 looked GREAT with the flat front and back, and the straight-edged sides. The Phone (1) drew inspiration from that, and added transparent glass on top of it. Fast-forward to Phone (2), and although I'm not feeling the grey, I'm happy they're keeping the same ethos.
Good standard features, I like the extra functions on the power button. But it lacks oomph. It just looks... meh, for me.
I'm gonna wait for US carriers to fully support the Nothing Phone (2). I was tempted to replace my 4-year-old Galaxy S10+ early this year with the Phone (1) since I've been hearing stories of it working on T-Mobile, but I can wait a few more months for an upgrade (and a black colorway).
I was gonna say, it looks like the only thing they don't own when you say yes is your image and likeness, but they've probably already extracted that from your IG account too.
Based on what I've read, even though Valve had a real, public launch of the Steam Deck late last year, it didn't particularly sell too well as the Japanese market found it a bit expensive. But that information was early this year so sales probably picked up since then.
