Hmm in that case I'm thinking I could maybe do a combination of chrome remote and a smart plug. Set the bios to boot on power. Login with chrome and then switch to parsec. And hope to avoid bad while loops. Dev on the road.

Do you remote boot your PC? Love the idea of being away and doing this, but the idea of any power loss etc gives me anxiety that I just couldn't work

Afraid the experience is unlikely to improve once you start using the software 🤮

For those hit by the horrendous lay offs at Epic and SEGA today, we're in good shape over at FuturLab and have a growing list of fully remote roles available. Very friendly and talented bunch. Stellar place to work! futurlab.co.uk/jobs/

I'll find you as soon as I'm cool enough to get in. Hopefully before this terrible place burns down entirely

Always wondered why more publishers don't offer a publicly visible 'menu' like this. Here's what we offer devs (porting, QA etc) with a range of how much each will add to recoup threshold and affect rev share. No reason to keep all of this a secret until negotiations imo

“You might lose your mind entirely.” Just completed The Spectrum Retreat for a second time this year, first time on PC. I love this game. My second playthrough took 3.8 hours. @RealEntropy @RipstoneGames #indiegame #indiegames #indiegaming #indiegamer #scifi #sciencefiction

Usually 1-9 are for user defined groups of units/buildings (Ctrl+num maps current selection to number for quick reselection) Outside of groups, just direct left click on building/unit to select

Left-Click and drag to select multiple units (no key needed) Right-Click to give orders (Hold shift to queue instead of override) Hold shift to place multiple buildings This is almost universal in recent years and works well :)

Thanks for guiding me to this harsh realisation ❤️
