- ketzo 4y agoLotta games talk today if you include the Diplomacy bot. Guess everyone’s on break this week :D
- nostromo 4y agoIt's a long weekend in the US -- and a time when a lot of folks buy games on Steam or other platforms.
- blueboo 4y agoLet’s get Cogmind and Caves of Qud up here too
- johnsillings 4y agoCaves of Qud is GOATed
- lelandfe 4y agoAs someone who has played loads of roguey games (ADOM, ToME, CDDA, etc), I found Qud to be pretty miserable. I just don’t think it is possible to play it without watching or reading long tutorials from other people. In my opinion that is AKA a poorly-made game.
- Natsu 4y agoYeah, I'm a big roguelike fan, too, but Qud just click work for me. I say that as someone who has ascended multiple times on Nethack, gotten deep endgame in ADOM, etc. I got really bored with Qud and never went back.

- kupopuffs 4y agoTech layoffs be feeling it
- blamazon 4y agoI laid myself off recently so that I can play Satisfactory full time.
- taneq 4y agoOn the one hand, if you’re gonna spend your energy managing infrastructure and repeatedly fixing technical debt you might as well get paid for it. On the other, at least this way you don’t have to deal with personality clashes and stupid ‘culture’ bs.
- srcreigh 4y agoIf anybody has a method for getting paid for this without personality clashes and stupid culture BS, please say something.
- taneq 4y agoA few people here have talked about indie mobile app development as an approach that's working for them, just making and selling small utility apps on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoIt's basically what someone commented earlier on another front page post. Software engineers aren't paid to write software. They're paid to deal with everything else that gets in the way of them writing the software.
