@douginamug Wait, you mean to tell me that the book with a main character who’s a ninja pizza deliveryperson named Hiro Protagonist is actually *not* especially well-written despite certain prescience and cleverness?

It’s always been my hot pseudo-take because I could never get into the book once I realized it has the narrative maturity of a 12-year-old’s Trapper Keeper doodle.

@chocobo13 @ZachWeinersmith The first time I played Metal Gear Solid 3, I had an obsessive pragmatism toward stealthy gameplay but cautious progression. So I’d go around non-lethally disabling all the guards, then once I’d safely cleared the area, I’d just be like, “welp, time to get to work,” and I’d calmly, and very much like a serial killer, go from one unconscious guard to the next, murdering them so they wouldn’t wake up and thwart me later.

When I got to the river of souls, HO BOY.

@dinozombie Fair enough. But if you do end up with a PS5, it’s pretty great. The experiences tend to be very smooth and well executed.
@dinozombie on its own, no. In USD, I think they’re about $550 and $1000 (still), respectively. So if you have a PS5, go for it.
@dinozombie It’s a lot more expensive, but the PSVR2 is a fantastic and very friendly device for getting into VR, and there’s a good chance they’ll have it working on PC officially before the end of the year.
@dinozombie Meta does not have any qualms about changing the terms of service required to use a device long after you’ve bought it. Plus the Quest 2 is already four years old and will imminently be two generations behind, same as the Quest 1 which just lost most of its viability as a usable device forever. I don’t think it’s a purchase you can justify with “doesn’t require a FB account anymore”. I’d never use a Meta device even for free, much less one with All the Sensors on it.
@cvennevik Happy to help! Ping me if you have any more questions!
@cvennevik But the best thing would be to find a mentor who does the work and can help you directly. There’s a lot that can differ between, for example, a student choosing their major versus someone who’s been working in accounting for 15 years and wants to change their career. Finding someone who can tailor their advice to a detailed understanding of your circumstances would be the gold standard for guidance. But I’m happy to do what I can toot by toot.

@cvennevik That said, books are getting a little dated and online is getting a little, well, garbage. You might want to start looking for communities instead of sites or articles, though there’s risk there too.

One idea might be to look up job postings and use that as a jumping off point to do some research on terminology and responsibilities, which can help focus your searches if you set out to try and understand the ask from each post and learn more about what you don’t know.
