From what i’ve heard of the game industry, being a gamedev is already survival horror.
I had a friend doing mobile gamedev, making near unheard-of money for their then city of residence, had everything going well for them… except the job was soul-crushing and draining, eventually giving them severe depression.
When I was getting my first dev job, they said I’d be really sorry about doing outsource, and I just thought that out of us two, I’d be the really happy one, even making much less than them.
Not really visual anymore innit
Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don’t know how he did it.
Programming happens in the mind. Whats on the screen is a pale and lifeless polaroid devoid of the moving, complex soul of real code.
Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.
Albino? There was an albino in my IT and the poor dude would literally be like 4 inches from the screen at all times. I guess that must be pretty close to his experience, yeah.
Yeah, I worked with an albino like that who used a handheld magnifying glass. It actually inspired me to write a magnifier application for windows (which didn’t have one at the time, this was in 2006). That then led me to write little windows apps every day for a month, which got a lot of attention.
Yeah so you gotta buy the lumafly lantern before you go in that area
But I have an LCD display
non-AMOLED devices spreading misinfo by enabling dark mode by default on low battery and it’s consequences…
