Same here!

Replying as a reminder

Holy shit. All of this reflects my current job... Maybe this is a sign for me to leave...

I have several!

Disco Elysium: I played Disco Elysium at a dark time in my life and seeing the protagonist hit absolute rock bottom and begin to cope with his myriad problems throughout the story amidst how fucked his situation (and the world's) was resonated with me a lot. I could go on a lot longer about this game, but it definitely changed my perspective on life and the world.

Mr. Robot: What starts out as a story about a hacker and the ethics of technology ends up as a look at personal trauma and coping mechanisms. As someone in tech who's dealt with a lot of mental health issues throughout my life, I (and my sister) saw a lot of me reflected in Elliot as well.

A lot of similarities between those two pieces of media, lol

Same here! Most people were very supportive and we commiserated a lot about our majors. And the same was the case for the entire engineering department.

The only anecdote I know about which is similar to the hyper-competitiveness in the top comment is from a friend who was a CS major in a different university but with a heavy entrepreneurship/business slant.

!likeadragon@lemmy.world for Yakuza/Like a Dragon

Apolinario Mabini great. Apolinario Mabini freedom thinker man. Very lemmy. Apolinario Mabini underrated. Goldfish brain connected Mabini and bussy. New name created.

Playing Divinity Original Sin 2 one more time with a couple of friends before Baldur's Gate 3 launches. Aside from that, also been trying out Wildermyth and it's been fun so far.

And now I also want some of that artisanal pizza

lemmy.film is centered around... discussion of film, whether it is about viewing them, creating them, and everything in between.

Currently reading A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark on and off. It's a sequel to a story called A Dead Djinn in Cairo (and others in the same universe) by the same author. The worldbuilding is pretty good. It transports you to this fantasy steampunk version of the world where Egyptian and Arabian culture is dominant (vs just Victorian, as is usually the case with steampunk).

If she has a youtube channel as well it might be Food4Dogs.

It kind of warms my heart to see people of all ages still gaming. If people are allowed to enjoy other forms of entertainment, gaming should be there as well.

Bannerlord! Been sitting in my library for a while now, finally got the time to play it.
