  • Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf Mod for L4D2 is essential.

    So many people just open a game and play it, ignoring the settings.

    The default controls in StarCraft 2 set you up for failure in custom games. Turning off simple command card and allowing the selection of enemy units helps a ton.

    When playing interactive story games like until dawn, try to pick up everything in each room before continuing. Be nice to the animals!

    Breath of the wild is more fun if you do the major dungeons in reverse order.

    When playing with emulators let the game go through its idle intro card and listen carefully to the sound if it distorts or pops then your game is likely to be unstable try changing more options. Such as enabling interpreter mode for the audio.

    When playing Super Mario World, don’t be afraid to explore the stages esp the boo mansions.

    When a game offers Vulkan/dx12 mode, try it.

    The Nintendo switch allows you to control the MTU of the wifi connection, adjusting this can help in poor connectivity situations.

    Changing your DNS to a public provider such as Quad9 can help.

    Investigating if you can enable ipv6 on your network can offer you some boons.

    Confirming port forwarding is working for your games will help immensely in games that rely on that. (Also resolve any double NAT issues)

    Do not attempt to game on a wifi repeater, only sadness follows.

    Unless you are playing fallout 3 or New Vegas on era correct hardware there are mods to make it more stable.

    Everyone needs to play hat in time.











  • I don’t want to spend hours making shitty bloated proprietary software but 99% of jobs seem to be like that.

    It sure is. :(

    I really don’t care about applying for jobs

    Unfortunately that’s not going away in any other profession. Unless you’re a unicorn and best friends with the hiring manager.

    I hate just about every one of my classmates.

    Sadly, that’s the biggest boon about going to school is networking with people that can provide you an easy in at their workplace and hopefully life long friendships.

    Your certifications aren’t going to be all that helpful beyond meeting the checklist HR is following.

    Is it possible to actually make a career in free software

    People do make money off free software just look at Patreon. But they are the exception. Kernel development might be a in as well.

    I just ditch out of tech and pick something else

    You’re in it too deep now in my opinion.

    Fortunately database developer roles are in high demand if you can stomach SQL and whatever unique cloud solutions they are invested in.

    Also, if you want to tame a beast COBOL developers are in high demand too.

    If you think robots are cool check out embedded systems.
