I played a 3 player game of Heat. It was a blast

Yeah, fair enough that might be what HR/recruitment does. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t a difference though.

Also I’m not sure if that is more of a US thing maybe? I see most roles in Australia listed for “developer” not “engineers”

There is a big difference between a software engineer and a software developer/programmer. In the same way there is a difference between a civil engineer and a builder.

A software engineer is the one who scopes the project. They define the feasibility, the limitation and exeptions, the tools to use, as well as costing and time planning and management.

The programmers are the ones who work to this scope and utilise the specified tools and technologies to create the product.

I have a degree in software engineering and all of this was covered. From writing scoping documentation, to time and costing with Gantt charts. This is the actual difference.

I mean we use teams as our phone system, so this is just like taking the general phone calls.

Some of us don’t get to leave work at the door all the time, and this just allows us to use teams like a phone without having to give out a personal number.

The witness is a really interesting puzzle game that can be had for not that much.

Or if you are looking for something more actiony then I would recommend remnant: from the ashes or remnant 2. Described as souls like with guns, but they really change up the formula I found with semi random worlds and bosses.

If you only need it to skip the power outage, I would look at something in the range of 800W to 1000W in an online ups.

This wattage should run your devices for 5 minutes or so, as you have quoted them. The online UPS will always run its load off on the battery, so there is no swap over time. Other types will be fine for a PC or normal electronics, but the hitch in power could cause a defect in the 3D print.

This is absolutely the correct information. I sold UPSs for years and the general consensus is that if you want more than 5 to 10 minutes of power, then you want to go with an actual generator solution

Saying that, UPSs tend to be used in industrial environments to keep machinery running until the generator starts up and can accept the load.

Holy shit, I have not heard that name in many years. Definitely a +1 for reminding me of all the fun I used to have in this title

This is an instant sign for me.

I just wish they would release the server source when done with a game. At least then someone could hack it to work.

Make a shitty live service game and people are going to think it’s shit.

I don’t understand why this is surprising to execs…
