As a parent myself now, I completely understand this behavior.

I've read that article and I don't see anything that could be considered hilarious. Imagine spending 3 or 4 years at University studying journalism or media studies to end up spending 5 minutes of a Saturday trawling the cesspit of xitter to cobble together 250 words of dross based on the ramblings of vacuous attention seekers.

I cant help but feel this is some sort of password reset question farming...

Anyway,

ZX BASIC SUSE Linux 6.1

Is it though?

Me. I work in video games, and I have kids.

You're not the only one. I thought the Specials plus Church on Ruby Road were all great. Devils Chord has been the nearest so far, but still with issues. Boom...? A bit meh. Lots of Moffat tropes, and having Millie Gibson lie on the floor unconscious for 15 minutes felt typical of Moffat writing for female characters. Could have done with 5 or 10 minutes of trimming, and it wasn't even that long. I thought I was just being cynical (I probably am).

This is exactly what I do too!

Personally, I don't expose the port externally, so I'm not sharing photos via Immich right now. I host locally and it is on a proper domain with a lets encrypt certificate, and I use Gandi Live DNS to update the dynamic IP, but my DDWRT router is set up to only allow access from internal IP addresses and my current WAN IP. It does work externally, but like you I am bit vary of it. That doesn't just apply to immich. I do the same with my Next Cloud.

Immich is great. I very much recommend it as a replacement for Google photos.

As a game studio - a developer rather than a publisher - it's very much hand to mouth. You are paid by the publishers on delivery of milestones. Milestone reviews can sometimes be subjective. You're basically the lowest link in the food chain and can be subject to a publisher's whim, which can often be a bit random depending on your external producer. Keeping such a studio open in the long term is about chasing new contacts, and any gaps between contacts is expensive because you aren't generating any income, but are having to pay wages. One or two project cancellations can easily shutter an independent developer.

In some cases studio owners may simply want out, or they might legitimately see a sale as bringing stability to the studio... Or it might just be greed. But I think it's hard to say whether a studio would have a safer long term future being independent or being sold.

Reddit is Fun is not Reddit.

Most games, especially so called Triple A games, have too much text and NPC dialog. The last thing we need is more of this crap that the developers don't even care about enough to write. How about we focus on making the gameplay good and not how we can fire more developers?
