It's kind of funny to see how people here are reacting to the world they built when it finally comes to them

I had some rough spots in 2008-2010 a good 3-4 month or so gap in steady employment and what I did get afterwards wasn't great but it was ok

I learned the importance of saving during the good times so I'm less worried now

but it would be foolish to pretend the growth of many was stunted during bad times

Yeah, in Chicago at least google maps tends to go into a panic attack, it's distracting and has nearly caused me a few accidents

Are you sure it isn't the design of the GUIs in tools HNers have vague insights into?

Honestly they just didn't have any content due to their technology choices, I use GFN all the time because it has most of the games I want to play already

they put themselves in a position where they were stuck acting like a psudo-console-platform thing needing to get developers to support thier platform

They are still pulling off big projects and pivoting well though though steam proton/steamdeck which pivoted from the initial failures of the steambox push

they may not really be in the AAA game business as much but I'm not sure that's a bad thing

Eh, most people want to work for Google for the cash these days it's reflected in their hiring where they don't even know where they want to place people half the time

that's one of the pirmary things for me too even as a guy with usually large pockets i find it annoying to walk around with them in my pocket espcially in the summer

plus on the bus or train I usually use a book or my kindle so it's easy to forget the phone
