How did you manage
  • I think a friend of mine would be delighted to have his children play video games.

    They are only consuming [tiktock, yt, other social media].

    I think he rather wants his children beating Red Alert campaign, than cpnsum 10s tiktocks.

    Modding your first game, opening condigs ans inis, because key-remapping wasn't a thing...all the gateways to interact with file system.

  • CD Projekt boss pushes back on 'conspiracy theories' against diversity in gaming: 'We live in times where anyone can record complete nonsense and make a story out of it'
  • It's impossible to regularly be the bad guy if you are not regularly an acting participant of the story, or even in a position of power.

    Do you actually believe Princess Peach is "women are better" propaganda? Nice stats you got...

  • I'm tired of every game being live service
  • Resident Evil series? Survival Horror games... Boomer Shooters... Pathfinder games... Everything from Larian studios... Totalwar Games...

  • Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"?
  • An example of the u|v mixup people can look at the Slovenian language.

    They have the v where other languages have a u, but they say it like a u.

    example: automobile vs avtomobil

  • To give another example people can look the Slovenian language.

  • Which one is you?
  • I am superficial. I care for the interface, instead of the core....aka KDE and Windows.

  • Are there Cozy shooter games?
  • Hedon would be an option. It has actually calm moments, is cut scene free and gives you time to explore, whil still having cool combat moments.

    It although has a pretty good difficulty mode.

  • Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun
  • Push Notifications, Mediacontrol with locker screen..

  • How should I continue learning?
  • I am going out and say you like computer games. Visualizing computer game information is, imho, a great target.

    Making a UI for inputs and information or gathering information puts you on road to learn different, interacting aspect.

    ideas:

    • crawl info from wikis
    • display system mechanics in graphs and images
    • create UIs to interact with above data
  • Shower thought, traversal in open world games have turned from game mechanics to loading screens
  • Holding forward during the loading screen is not better than being free to do anything.

    Noone is against background loading. This is a given. People are against pseudo interaction.

  • Army Testing Robot Dogs Armed with Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Rifles in Middle East
  • GC is for war and soldiers are combatants and not criminals by default (switching can happen easily). As an example Hollowpoint against criminals is okay as it can protect surrounding bystanders.

    It's a bit weird, but for countries war is different from domestic problems.

  • Telegram is exposing their users privacy.
  • Guys like you see privacy as a monolith, that it never is. Unusable privacy is meanigless as email had shown. Privacy of communications does not mean privacy of communicators and usable authentication can be more important then anonymity.

    And all this has to be realised on real-world servers, that are always in reach of real world goverment.

  • I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.
  • Maybe look out for single player games?

    Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.

    Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.

    Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.

  • Making GUIs, how do you pick?
  • If you only need something like buttons, sliders and other simpel, non-user-account driven stuff, than Streamlit.io is an option.

    A simple requirements.txt and shipping your Python app with an .bat or .sh that just does:

    open venv start main.py in venv closr venv

    should be a hood intermediate step from cli script to gui

  • Yup...i can confirm that
  • You then see people making scripts that take days to run, but it's fine, they're only going to use it twice and are busy enough to be able to wait

  • How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?
  • My current focus:

    • hall effect sensor to avoid stick drift
    • i prefer the xbox layout for sticks
    • abxy button layout, because not all pc games support ps buttons
    • cabel, cuz lighter and no sudden loss of input
  • It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation
  • Isnt Icefrog one of the lead devs? I guess he likes this style of game. How many Total Wars, 4x and CoDs were released while Valve made one more Dota-like. Valve has some cool people working, vut O don't see a Suda51, a Raphael, Swery or Co, who has the focus to develope such a single player experience. If the flat structure with 'at will' project focus is still a thing, than sp games have probably a problem getting devs.

  • Real examples here?
  • The OG solution was to use stretched 4:3/resolution, nyt Arx Libertatis allows easy casting with modern resolution.

  • Banned governing body that's fueling outcry on Olympic boxers has Russian ties and troubled history
  • The IBF, headed by russion dude, came up with this undiaclosed "test" three days after the algerian boxer beat an undefeated russian boxer.

    The IBF was so openly corrupt, that the IOC kicked them and 20+ national boxing feds left IBF and created a new organization.
