Have you seen kids? Most of them play games exclusively on mobile devices now.

I did the Pepsi challenge when they were setup at a booth in Vancouver. Ended up picking Coke

Usually they don’t completely flop though, they just underwhelm expectations but if they can stay active long enough with the right amount of whales and fish they can usually break even or make a small profit. Concord is just a high profile legitimate flop that was turned off before it could do anything.

I mean sometimes it works. Pubg was the big Battle Royale in town until Fortnite (as a battle Royale) came along. League of Legends too. The problem with Concord is it took about 6 years to come out so it couldn’t draft on the hot trend.

I can’t find OP in that thread. Is this just conspiracy speculation?

Headlines might as well just be “Ubisoft Reportedly Hit with Layoffs Due to 🤷”

Real poo for my real friends

Phone wouldn’t work for me, I’ve got a strict no phone around the TV rule for myself because I’m way too tempted to just use it instead of enjoying the thing I’m watching. Also wouldn’t really want to put an Xbox controller onto my wife or step mother.

I wish there was some kind of application you could run that would abstract all the mouse and keyboard interactions into a remote control friendly interface.

Anyway to do this without a keyboard. I used to have a PC connected to my TV for this but eventually just bought an apple tv for simplicity.

I’ve made this dish a few times, that’s the exact recipe I use. It’s always a big winner with everyone.

The Venn diagram overlap of senior+ programmers and farmers is oddly large

I just realized I’ve seen the meme thousands of times but this is the first time watching the source. It’s like watching behind the scenes of your favorite movie.

He follows it with low volume but high pitched “oh mommy oh mommy”

I’m out of the loop here

Basically you have to bond over a game, be it physical, like sports or board like regular board games or as many people mentioned here D&D. For sports, regardless of your skill level, there’s a group. Beer leagues and such. Solo sports like mountain biking can work too but you have to be super consistent and really get into the sport where you have common ground.

If physical stuff is out of the question, then you have your board games. Even small towns have meetups.

The important thing is actually doing these. Friends don’t just come to you and you have to be consistent. Most people don’t just become friends in one or two sessions, it takes time and rapport building. And you can’t always wait for others to initiate the friends part. You might have to be the one that goes “hey wanna grab some wings after this.”

There’s a link in their Read Me on GitHub under the title about launching with Docker. Are you familiar with Docker?

Unsolicited messages and scam texts are the lowest of the low. I wouldn’t even put this in the same ballpark as advertising.

Looks like it only has Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League on there for now
