Read my post again carefully. They used to require a facebook account, which they no longer do. A Meta account is just an email address and a password, not automatically connected to a social media profile.

Meta devices no longer need a facebook account FYI. That requirement was scrapped over 2 years ago.

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.

The smaller community can be a selling point. On reddit, a single voice pretty much gets drowned out by the masses. Lemmy feels much more personal and like an actual community.

I work as a software developer, making 3d, Virtual- and Augmented Reality applications for industrial and commercial customers. For example I make trainings where you learn how to operate certain machines in VR or tourism apps where you can explore the history of a place through phone AR. Basically, I do the same thing as a game developer, often using game engines like Unreal and Unity, but not making actual games.

I work from home, so a typical day is just me sitting in front of my computer for 8 hours a day. Sometimes I have to visit a customer or a trade show for a few days, so I'll take the train and stay at a hotel somewhere. It's generally a pretty interesting job where I get to use a lot of different tools and hardware. It's also not very stressful, in contrast to actual game development.

Didn’t Willie Nelson out smoke Snoop Dogg at one point?

Probably. They even did a collaboration song together, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die". Pretty funny hearing Snoop sing a country song.

This one for example. Don't know whether it technically has internet, but the smartest function it seems to have is FM radio.

Old-school "outlaw" country music is great. Like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and the like.

There are totally still working dumb phones that use 4g. Just be prepared for giant buttons, as the target group is mostly elderly people.

Riding my e-bike is still a physical workout, just one that takes me further than my regular bike. I can take bike paths or forest paths and don't have to always use the roads. E-bikes are quiet.

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.
