Sure you can become honorary Europeans along with the Australians. You’ll be expected to send a Eurovision candidate though!

From a Non-American perspective: Europe will hopefully become less dependent on the US and finally build a proper unified army. We might get more skilled migrants from the US, who will bolster our economy.

I had stick insects for a while. Very easy to care for. They multiply rapidly, so the main challenge is keeping their population under control. In the beginning I had males and females, but the males died out at some point. Not an issue for their reproduction though, as the females can basically just clone themselves into an egg.

Guild Wars 2. I’m not really into grinding for hours or optimizing my characters, so I appreciate that the game can be played quite casually. That’s also true of ESO, but that one feels basically like a single player game to me, while GW2 feels much more social with a lot of player cooperation just arising naturally through its design. Also love the zone design, having a lot of exploration and things like jumping puzzles. Story is pretty decent as well.

Criminals will be required to work social services for the common good. High-risk criminals will also be put under constant surveillance either by automated systems or, in extreme cases, Human guards to stop them from reoffending.

Maybe look into being self-employed. There should be some opportunities there for a computer engineer. Working remotely for a company in a different area or even country might also be an option, depending on whether that’s legally possible in Cambodia.

Learning-wise, I’d say starting on PC makes much more sense. You’ll have a much easier time developing and debugging the game, as you can test right on the device you’re using to create the game. In terms of it being profitable, it’s very likely that your first game won’t be. I’d look at it as a learning experience first and foremost that will enable you to make profitable games in the future.

The smaller community can be a selling point. On reddit, a single voice pretty much gets drowned out by the masses. Lemmy feels much more personal and like an actual community.

I work as a software developer, making 3d, Virtual- and Augmented Reality applications for industrial and commercial customers. For example I make trainings where you learn how to operate certain machines in VR or tourism apps where you can explore the history of a place through phone AR. Basically, I do the same thing as a game developer, often using game engines like Unreal and Unity, but not making actual games.

I work from home, so a typical day is just me sitting in front of my computer for 8 hours a day. Sometimes I have to visit a customer or a trade show for a few days, so I’ll take the train and stay at a hotel somewhere. It’s generally a pretty interesting job where I get to use a lot of different tools and hardware. It’s also not very stressful, in contrast to actual game development.

Didn’t Willie Nelson out smoke Snoop Dogg at one point?

Probably. They even did a collaboration song together, “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”. Pretty funny hearing Snoop sing a country song.

This one for example. Don’t know whether it technically has internet, but the smartest function it seems to have is FM radio.

Old-school “outlaw” country music is great. Like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and the like.

There are totally still working dumb phones that use 4g. Just be prepared for giant buttons, as the target group is mostly elderly people.

Yes, it is. If they’re in a flat, probably flour moths. Your friend should check any containers with food, especially grains.

The little Polish (formerly German) village my grandma grew up in. She never got to see it again after the war, so I want to make the pilgrimage there in remembrance of her.

The family treasure is also supposedly still buried there, but I don’t think the locals would appreciate a random German digging holes in their village so I’ll refrain from searching for it…

It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it’s fine to do so. At this point, it’s probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn’t write a fantasy novel and name a city “Minas Tirith”, as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, “Dragonstone” is just fine IMO, even though it’s a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).

I think it’s exactly those stories that give people a false impression when they come here. It’s not that they are false, most of the time you’ll certainly find people who can speak decent English. A tourist probably won’t need any German, but when it comes to living here long-term, dealing with bureaucracy, finding a job or making friends, knowing German is pretty essential.

So is Irish, but the point was that English is an official and widely spoken language in both countries.

Time to learn a new language, unless you’re moving to Ireland or Malta I guess. Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.

Anyway, I think you’ll get better answers if you specify a country. The EU is quite diverse, so I don’t think there’s a ton of advice that’ll be true everywhere in the EU.
