I worked in retail in drug filled neighborhoods.

Customer: “e ga thebythin”

Me: “Haha you know it. Have a nice day.”

I can explain!

AWS is ridiculously complicated. I had to study AWS to learn data analytics and the entry level test was overwhelming with just learning like 10 services.

The best way to learn of course is to sign up for an account and actually play. But, its really easy to spend $10k because you didn’t set it up correctly.

That story is actually pretty common. People waking up to $500 bills because they left a server on and some hacker took it over. Or they activated a dozen services and didn’t know how to shut them down.

If the repost keeps getting upvoted and rising to the top, then isn’t that a sign that people like it?

Also comments!

I don’t post much but I like engaging with people.

Okay that’s pretty ridiculous though.

But also kind of funny. They should pick a new common word to ban every day until it’s just remove remove remove.

I love a good match 3! Thanks for the recommendation!

Because they knew they’ll get bombarded with people shitting on the epic version and recommending the steam version over and over.

What a positive spin!

Im so used to hearing stories about some slop company stealing game ideas and being the first to market, especially after flappy bird and 2048.

To hear it was a coincidence makes me happy and that you two came to a middle ground. That’s awesome and hoping the best of success for the two of you!

I knew a guy who begged for honest feedback. Like kept complaining about how people would ghost him, and wasn’t able to get a date or anything. So when he asked me directly, I pointed it all out.

And here’s the thing: he didn’t really do much after learning that. He didn’t try to change anything for the better. He just took it in, got real defensive for a while then agreed and accepted that “this is who I am”.

And maybe that’s okay. But he seems dead set on attracting people who hate it.

Learning to read the room is a skill set.

Im happy that the games who are pushing the cutting edge aren’t really games that have much longevity beyond their release. Where games that cater to the Steam Deck (and by extension, older gaming PCs) continue to be talked about for years and still getting sales and support.

Idle games! So many idle games.
