I would suggest trying out the INFRA. It's great and atmospheric puzzle no-gun FPS which gives Half-Life vibes as it uses Source engine. I've had much fun with it.

In my country (Poland) it's not an unusual thing to hear after the interview that the salary from the posting is with some vague bonus which "nobody ever seen".
I don't want to waste my time (hours or sometimes even days/weeks) with some convoluted multipart interviews and offline "coding exercises" only to hear that I would get just a lower/small part of the range which nobody ever gets from the start as they're there only to encourage you to apply.
For example I could just ignore opposing opinions I don't agree with, but I won't be ignoring threats, bullying etc. which are so common nowadays. I remember the times where you could have your opinions and if you did not directly attacked somebody or didn't break the law in your country you could post nearly anything you want and these were the times of the freedom of speech.
You can't have your opposing opinion now in some of the topics because if you do, then you're risking getting cancelled, (shadow) banned, muted or at least having your opinion removed. Or as it's common you would get the badge of being left or right even if you're not. You won't find many people who could support your opinion or at least try to calm down the conflict/argue because most of the people don't care about the "wars" that are happening in the social media, they just want to have a nice and peaceful life.
So, my opinion at the end is that we shouldn't care who creator is or what he did, the only thing we should care about is or isn't his creation, whether it's valuable or invaluable for me, my relatives, society or the environment. And if somebody disagree with some opinion, then he should post his opinion/argument if it gives any value for future on-topic discussion or some unique view, but do not start a flame war or literally try to destroy somebody' life or day because of that. In the end you do you and i do me.
Also, just to clearly point that out, I'm not from the US and I'm neither so called far-left nor far-right as probably no one is.
You wouldn't want to go back to vanilla after playing with them.
- Road Hog [road vehicles + trams, it's from the same author as Iron Horse and FIRS],
- U&Bridges [like in the name, rail/road bridges],
- U&RaTT [road/tram tracks with speed limits],
- U&ReMM2 [rail tracks with speed limits],
- Av9.8 Aircraft Set [planes, etc.],
- CHIPS Station Set 2.0 [very nice station set which has stations with waiting cargo animations]
If you want some updates for graphics in default OpenGFX, then I suggest adding: - OpenGFX+ Landscape [removes grid from the map, modifies snow line, enables snow in temperate climate],
- OpenGFX Trees [like in the name, replaces trees and adds trees at the roadside in the cities],
- Stolen Trees [yes, they were stolen at some point, adds very nice trees to the game]
- HEQS [heavy equipment road vehicles, is also good road vehicle set, I'm not sure if it works with all FIRS' cargo].
Also, author of the Iron Horse, FIRS and Road Hog is making a new mod with the ships, you can track the progress here: https://grf.farm/unsinkable-sam/preview-15/index.html. Also of his mods' changelogs, updates could be found here: https://www.grf.farm/
It's disappointing that it's so hard to convince the companies "management" to switch from chaotic Slack communication to something better for async and organised communication because clients are used to Slack...
The same applies to Discord as it's just the most accessible way, everyone uses and it's just largest common denominator regardless of the chaos in most of the channels, hope the threads will clear some things up when people use them, and not like in the Slack where everyone just paste response in the channel instead of the threads.
About the second one, performance should be crucial everywhere, if some application eats all the resources then I can't have other applications working in the background doing their stuff. That's the problem with i.e. "modern" communication apps (I'm talking about you, slack) where my four core CPU is on it's knees when doing simple things like switching the team or even channel, not mentioning starting the app itself. Another one is when I'm on the Google Meet chat, my browser eats 80% of CPU, I can't do anything reliably in that time, running anything makes chat to loose audio, lag a much, etc.
Going back some years ago, I was able to run Skype, AQQ, IDE, Chrome browser and Winamp at the same time on archaic (in today's standards) i3-350M and 4 GiB of RAM.
