Cult of the Lamb's latest content release is bringing 2-player local coop

Yeah, I got around to watching this finally. OOF. No thank you ✋

Have you tried contacting either your ISP or the router manufacturer?

I had a similar issue and my ISP mentioned that there was another setting I had to change on my bridged router. I never would have found it without calling them up.

That's really exciting!

What has helped me is to focus less on labels and more on how I'm reacting emotionally to different things. Like, how happy I felt seeing myself in a blouse and skirt for the first time. Or how badly I felt understanding that a conversation about "girls night" wasn't an invitation to me. Or the relief of telling my partner what support looked like for me as I figure all of my own stuff out. Getting "sir"'d at a local bakery.

Like, I can either fall into the self-critical trap and view it as "evidence" of how valid my ideas of myself are or aren't. Or I can chase those things that makes me feel whole, good, and welcome and trust that the work I put into being fulfilled in life is going to make everything I do that much more wonderful to experience.

At least that's what I tell myself. Who knows how good I actually am about it. Being human is inherently messy and full of mistakes and learning from them.

It's experience. There's no such thing as undocumented experience. Training yourself to see your experiences as valid in an of themselves is a process, one I've struggled with myself; but, it's really important as it's expected that from employers that you're not filtering out expertise you have because it "wasn't professional enough" or whatever. Running a Plex server for friends to stream from is valid experience and worth considering if you're building out time ranges on your resume (eg. N years of experience with $technology)

That's pretty cool. I'd be curious to know how the node editor was architected.

Another example comes to mind of a company, General Magic, that designed a programming language with a similar Capabilities system meant to restrict access to functions and code on their devices with the idea of copyright enforcement in mind as a primary use case. There's a documentary about the device if you're interested: https://www.generalmagicthemovie.com

Nanosaur!

Damn, all of this person’s art is incredible

Any company worth working at is going to understand your concern about your parents' health.

Definitely doing something and being consistent with it is more important than having a finished thing at the end of it; like, challenging yourself and having fun with it. Open source projects are just one way to do this, it's kinda like volunteering where you can earn bonus points with people for being invested in collective good and working collaboratively. Being able to effectively collaborate is a really valuable skill to have (and companies know it) and worth finding ways to include in whatever you're doing. There's other ways to do this. For instance there's nonprofits and local communities that look for volunteers to build websites for them.

I also recommend finding community if you can. Dunno where you live, but I've had a good time getting to know the folks at Out In Tech, which has chapters in various cities (more generically, they have a slack that anyone can sign up for).

Also, for me, finding motivation in isolation has always been hard for me; joining a company gave me that external motivation I kinda needed to get started. If your goal is to find a job I recommend not creating artificial barriers for yourself just start applying to stuff. Interviewing is a skill and you probably need to develop that by just interviewing a lot. Try setting a goal for yourself of number of companies to apply to per day (10 a days and you're cooking with gas, but at least 2 is respectable). Volume is kinda your friend until you get your foot in the door.

I hope this is helpful. You got this!
