For most people, working for a game developer likely sounds pretty cool. You get to bring the games that gave you so much joy to millions of people around the world. But, while the job looks fun from the outside, in reality, being a game developer is actually quite rough. For one, game companies are usually able to get away with paying game developers significantly less than market wages. Similarly, game developers generally end up working quite a bit more than traditional software engineers. This can mostly be explained by the fact that most people who become game developers do it out of passion. So, game companies are able to abuse this passion to milk out the most amount of work. This situation is only made worse by the fact that game development skills aren’t easily transferable to traditional tech companies. So, many developers often end up getting trapped within the gaming industry. This video explains the pros and cons of being a game developer and how game developers end up getting ripped off by game companies.

Lyrics:
Uh new drip I just spent some G’s on my attire
These racks just keep on growin but my jeans gettin tighter
Uhh I went overseas with the swiper
Bad bitch know I never seen nothin like her
Uh I bought glock two beans for my snipers
Any sudden move and make it sing like a choir
RIP that chrome sprinter, got Lindsay Lohan
I need some more bandz
Bitch I'm a grown man uh

If you gon tweet it ain't no need to tell me how you feel
My whole city catching B’s, I’m from the 'raq for real
Broski turn into a demon when he off them pills
Ride til i die, I hope that Jesus come and grab the wheel

Uh uh that choppa singin like Clay Aiken
Uh RIP to all my loved ones that ain’t make it
Uh got a bun with the streets and i just can't break it
Run it up now my safe done turn into my safe haven

Them racks in ok ok
On the block I post up, I can’t fade away
Baby I been too turnt, I don’t care bout what the haters say
Dark skin thick bitch, I liked her so i named her bae
I'm in it everyday

Uh new drip I just spent some G’s on my attire
These racks just keep on growing but my jeans gettin tighter
Uhh I went overseas with the swiper
Bad bitch know I never seen nothin like her
Uh I bought glock two beans for my snipers
Any sudden move and make it sing like a choir
RIP that chrome sprinter, got Lindsay Lohan
I need some more bandz
Bitch I'm a grown man uh

TBN Israel’s Yair Pinto brings you “Boots on the Ground.”
Moments ago the IDF launched Operation “Am KeLavi,” a pre-emptive strike deep inside Iran. Dozens of nuclear and long-range-missile sites were hit; explosions are reported in Tehran, Natanz, Isfahan, and even Baghdad airspace. Defense Minister Israel Katz has declared a nationwide special-emergency status and the Home Front Command has ordered schools closed, gatherings banned, and all citizens to stay near protected spaces. Thousands of reservists are being rushed to critical commands, while Israel prepares for incoming missile and UAV barrages from Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria.

Highlights in this report
•⁠ ⁠Opening airstrike: 2 waves, 40 IAF jets, precision munitions on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure
•⁠ ⁠IDF says Iran stockpiled fissile material for 15 atomic bombs; enrichment sites targeted
•⁠ ⁠Home Front Command instructions, nationwide alerts, and Order 8 reservist call-ups
•⁠ ⁠U.S. reaction: Secretary of State Rubio says America “uninvolved” but protecting forces
•⁠ ⁠Iran’s IRGC vows “decisive response”; rockets already intercepted over central Israel
•⁠ ⁠Hezbollah smuggling ring busted in Homs; Houthis fire ballistic missile at Tel Aviv—Arrow-3 intercept
•⁠ ⁠Mati Shoshani explains how collapsed U.S.–Iran talks set the stage for tonight’s strike

Meet Michael Hoffman, a former athletic coach who transformed his life through the vending machine business. Starting with just $14,000 in savings and a sharp eye for opportunity, Michael built his vending company, Modern Amenities, into a nationwide operation generating $75,000 monthly in revenue.

Growing up on a farm, Michael learned early lessons about entrepreneurship from his father. After college, he became a traveling athletic coach, making just $1,200 per month. During his countless hours in airports, Michael noticed something: vending machines were everywhere, but they offered overpriced, unhealthy options. This observation sparked an idea that would forever change his life.

Despite having no prior experience with vending machines, Michael taught himself the industry from the ground up. Today, his company stands at the forefront of vending machine innovation, with smart machines that use AI to track inventory, prevent theft, and even recognize customer preferences. His machines can be found in prime locations across the country, serving quality products that break the mold of traditional vending machine offerings.

In this episode, Michael shares his journey to becoming a successful vending machine business owner. Learn how he identified untapped market opportunities, negotiated prime locations, and leveraged AI technology to build a thriving automated retail empire – all while starting from zero industry experience.
