Unity is canceling the Runtime Fee
  • I'm a little surprised that unreal is the next choice after unity given how much hate Epic seems to get. I thought about switching to unreal but then I learned that you have to download the epic store to use the unreal engine, and I refuse to do that after the "scan your whole PC and upload your game list" thing they pulled a few years ago.

  • Should I buy fallout 4 goty from GOG?
  • Last time I checked (and it's been a few months), GOG hadn't updated their version of FO4 with the "next-gen" update that came out early this year. That may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective because supposedly the update breaks a lot of mods but also is supposed to increase performance.

  • I have a milk problem
  • This is so weird, I used to NEED to drink milk every day. Like I would feel bad if I skipped out on my milk fix. Never got it looked into though, and I don't get the urge anymore now that I've really cut back on milk.

    I wonder if milk addiction is a real thing or if it is just the sugar content or something...

  • Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" doesn't feel good and isn't satisfying?
  • +1 for sleeping without an alarm. If you really need an alarm to get up every day, you might not be getting enough sleep to begin with. Some of that is unavoidable (noises, light waking you up at night etc.) but a lot of people think they can get by with like 6 hours or less of sleep and just get by on extra coffee.

    Taking a week or so to just let your body wake up when it wants (even if it means going to bed early, ugh) will help you figure out how much sleep you need.

  • I remember hearing somewhere (probably some podcast) that it used to be normal for people to sleep for 3-4 hours, then wake up and do stuff for an hour or so, then go back to sleep for 3-4 hours again. Maybe to help keep watch while you sleep or something similar?

    It's about 50/50 for me. Sometimes getting up and reading for an hour or so will let me fall back to sleep instantly, other times I'm just wide awake at 2AM and then magically get sleepy at 6:30 right before work.

  • The US federal loophole that allows food companies to decide what's safe for you to eat
  • Yep, bread isn't necessarily in the ultra-processed category but most of the common brands are.

    Doesn't mean you have to stop eating bread. Reading those NOVA guidelines and comparing the foods you eat will give you a lot to think about though.

  • Ok you might be a little crazy for using vim in 2024 :D but it depends on the context. Editing a quick config file from command line? Sure. Working on a big project? No way, give me an IDE with real navigation and auto complete functionality.

    I think part of the reason is just that the barrier to entry for software development continues to drop with IDEs, dependency/package managers, etc. It's really easy to get a working knowledge of your tools without knowing how they really work under the hood, which is good and bad.

  • GitHub is many things nowadays. Some people use it sort of like a blog where they can easily post long pages of text, sometimes it's the first thing that shows up in the search results when you search for a computer/phone problem.

    I'm gonna sound old here but the younger generations are in general less computer literate than they were back in my day, and a lot of people have no qualms about downloading and running random exe's from discord or mediafire.

  • Ten years on, Alien Isolation’s biggest problem is its runtime
  • Yeah the beginning is a bit rough because apparently the alien is specifically programmed to not leave you alone in the first level or two that it appears. My initial experience was similar but after the first level it got a lot better.

    To me the game either works great and you get a legit scary experience or the alien pops out at the wrong time and you have to briskly walk through the rest of the level or die instantly.
