  • Game devs get paid shit wages, so honestly it could be a good thing that those jobs are “gone”. Just feed the marketing and management people their slop and take the paycheck home.

    If you really want to be a game dev and not sell your soul for no pay then being an indie dev is really the only way to go. But that also requires having a good idea, beating your soul to death for a few years, then maybe you can cash out.







  • Docker requires hardware virtualization so kinda but not really. Apparently it runs inside of a VM so that’s a no go.

    Honestly I think you’re asking way too much for a VPS, or even a full blown server. If you want to run CAD software you’ll also want a remotely capable GPU and you won’t get that in a server unless you’ve explicitly put something in it. The built in GPUs in servers are like radeon 3450s that are 15 years old and are basically just video adapters and not actual “graphics processing units”. If you have your own server I’d throw a GPU in there and try running your software there. But honestly any remotely modern laptop will probably run faster than a cheap rented server.




  • If reinstalling windows didn’t fix the issue then you most likely have a hardware issue. You could always make a linux live USB and see if that works. The live USB won’t touch your HDD so if the HDD is the problem you won’t know until after you’ve installed linux.

    Before you do that download a program like hwinfo and look at your temps. Specifically CPU temp. Somewhere towards the bottom it will tell you stats about your HDD as well and it may include what SMART thinks your HDD’s health is.
