Games@lemmy.world•Day 547 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish
2·2 days agoWoden resembling Odin (along with the name)
Just some additional context, Woden is the Anglo-Saxon name for the same god, worshipped in England prior to the arrival of Christianity. Not too different from how the Roman version of Zeus is Jupiter.
The English word “Wednesday” also etymologically derives from “Woden’s Day,” like how Thursday is also “Thor’s Day”

Games@lemmy.world•Forza Horizon 6's release date was briefly accidentally leaked in Forza Horizon 5English
3·2 days agoThere’s an Xbox Developer Direct next week that will feature Forza, I’m assuming they would have announced it then.
It never hurts just to start tossing out applications and see what you get. The best way to get better at interviewing is to do more interviews. Even if you think your odds of landing something are low, just go into it with the mentality of getting more practice until it feels comfortable. And who knows, you might be surprised by a good offer.
But I would also recommend being selective with where you apply, too. Basically don’t sell your skillset too low, and don’t apply for the types of open-ended jobs that will attract thousands of applicants and only waste your time. It can be absolutely soul crushing to send out 100 applications and never even get a response from 90 of them, but a good opportunity will come along eventually and you can develop a sense of which listings aren’t worth your time.
I just assumed they were the weird emphasis quotes people do for some reason
I had to look up his bio (where I learned that he had just died, this post makes more sense now) and found that he actually had no biological children, so he would actually be eligible for a Darwin Award.

91·4 days agoYeah, that’s what I tried first, but it was basically a game of whack-a-moe.
I don’t like the nuclear option of outright blocking people, but blocking a single person is easier than blocking two dozen communities, and it future proofs it when they continue making new ones.

World News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump 'orders army chiefs to draw up plan to invade Greenland': US President emboldened by success of Maduro capture operationEnglish
139·6 days agoNot to say this shouldn’t be treated with the gravity it deserves, but are there any media outlets reporting on this other than the Daily Mail? Not exactly known for being the most reliable rag out there.

Why did this immediately start playing in my head as soon as I saw this picture?

21·9 days agoFWIW, Amazon bought the James Bond IP last year (and also owns MGM Studios as of 2022). The relationship between this game and Amazon may be nothing more than that.

Games@lemmy.world•Xbox Developer_Direct Returns January 22: Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Beast of Reincarnation to be shownEnglish
41·9 days agoPlayground is planning to fill their games with AI slop, so I can’t say I’m overly interested in anything they have to say or show off.
That just leaves Gamefreak, which simply cannot make a good game if a gun was held to their head, so I don’t have much interest in them either.

Games@lemmy.world•World's Best-selling Video Game ConsolesEnglish
6·14 days agoI count it as a handheld because every switch can be used as a handheld, while not every switch can be used as a home console.
So I guess why wouldn’t the Switch Lite be counted in those sales? It’s the same device, sans detachable controllers and docking capabilities.
It’s like calling a phone that you can plug into a monitor with peripherals a “desktop”

121·14 days agoSwitch has a good chance of overtaking PS2 before the end of its lifespan. The Switch is still selling and still getting game releases.

The updated Forerunner architecture designs seem directly lifted out of Tron. I can’t imagine it’s a coincidence that Halo 4 released just 2 years after Tron Legacy.
