@nprofile1q... Back when I played quest a lot more, I had four sweat bands to cycle for the daily music rhythm addiction(I could do laundry every 3rd so one was for my hard mode days). Could be they have a few sets and need to air them out. I know turning my bedroom into other realities/adventures got me through a lot of crunch days. Respect for the hobby.

Having said that mine were always in a special part of my laundry to wash, not outside. A bit of an odd place to put it, I guess?

@nprofile1q... Yes, it can feel terrible. I can only offer virtual gryphon hugs. And say to keep pushing.

I have thought many times these last few years about moving elsewhere just to find work. But we still got support in community/local space here at least. It's just not loud like the news or job markets or ai bros. And sadly, not a way to make "the magical income" like is expected of us for "normal life".

"Look for the helpers", as Mr. Rodger once said. I fall back on that a lot these days.

The hardest part about job searching in the USA, in these modern times, is that it is literal life or death. I am lucky, and am definitely going to be ok, but i can see the bottomless pit below me for...

@nprofile1q... Yeah, since last year I haven't had much if any work (I used to be the unity dev at a previous place before the firm decided making ai rewrapped as tools was the future.) If it wasn't for my understanding parent and their home, me and my brother would be out on the street. Between rent pricing and jobs vanishing, it has been extremely discouraging.

We have been striking out on our own to dev stuff.

I try to remember USA includes the "us" part. And I try to keep hoping, keep creating.

assuming that a blobber (tile based first person dungeon crawler) doesn't have realtime combat, is there any point to including the ability to strafe left/right rather than just turn then move?

@nprofile1q... In most modern ones they allow strafe for s shaped hallways or checking walls, like Etrian. It allows the player to see one direction during movement but step another way. Backwards also usually means "step back from" instead of turn around.

Vampire Crawlers allows strafe too, you can bump secret breakables to the side/behind without turning. It also auto turns to face the revealed card/object if a decision to interact further is needed, which I appreciate a lot!
