Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.

You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn't specced or requested, but you thought could add value.

After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they'd learnt, workshops, etc.

So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we'd do on any normal day. I'd recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.

will likely fix something your players will be asking for

Or they will add Kinect support to your game. You never know.

I've seen a chick playing 2 darksouls games one with ddr pad and one with controller at the same time fighting bosses lol

I truly don't get PMs who themselves haven't done the thing they're now PMing. I like to think I make a decent PM because I was a user, got frustrated, made my own version of the thing that was way faster and easier, that saw some success, I learned a bunch, and now I PM that space after I figured out I had much stronger opinions on what a thing should do/be and why that mattered than then actual implementation.

Hey now, just dance with Kinect was genuinely the best way to play that game format (and was before the onset of their subscription platform to access the full song library)

Although, I'm a real sucker for rhythm games so maybe I'm just biased

For real. I'm dreading the day mine stops working. It's taken some drops over the years but it's still going strong. Legit one of the best controllers ever made. I will absolutely die on this hill.

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

I assume cocaine also has some kind of ballmer peak

Strop removing the barriers. I don't want to accidently become a vtuber.

Huh? It's referenced by name right there in the screenshot...

OMG the leap motion. Ten years ago it was set to revolutionize computer input. Where's now?

I've done stuff for $50 too, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

My first thought was , lol that'd be funny. And my second thought was, oh shit Skyrim came out at that time.

Wiimotes work on PC similar to any modern remote. They're refering to that.
