The problem (as per usual) is that the legal system is horribly biased in favour of whoever has the most money/resources. When one side has millions/billions to spend on lawyers and legal fees and the other doesn't, then the

Hmm, what's your experience level with 2D platformers and difficulty? Because there are some hacks I'd recommend if you're pretty experienced with tough games, but which would probably be too much if played casually (JUMP&#x2

Oh I agree. I like to link to non Fandom wikis when their available, use that same plugin in most browsers, and support things like the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. Sadly quite a few wikis still use the service, and haven't gone

The main problem I see with FOSS projects using Discord is a misunderstanding of what the platform is, and what it works best for. Discord works fine as a chat room. As a way to have casual conversations about everyday topics, with the expe

Unless I have something meaningful to say about a topic, I won't leave a comment about it. Posting just for the sake of posting doesn't really make for an interesting conversation. And given how niche/technical many topics he

It's worth noting the person working on this remake previously worked on an absolutely amazing Super Mario World hack called A Plumber For All Seasons: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=28856 A

Writing about marketing seems like it's fine, especially if it's about projects that are relevant to you. What's not great is when the blog's sole purpose to exist is to market something, or to get clicks on affiliate li

Unfortunately, nuclear seems to get a bad rep from a lot of people. I suspect this is because of a mixture of things: 1. The rare instances of it going wrong look catastrophic, while the many times it does better than coal/oil/gas

I suspect part of it is because movies and other forms of media are more likely to be 'shared' experiences than consumer electronics are. Like okay, some systems are probably popular enough with the population that this sort of re

Feelings: Depressed and burnt out for the last few months, with severe depression. Reasons: Entire team is being made redundant in a few months, and the job market is a miserable one at the moment. Also stressed out by some issues with my p

From what I've seen, the latter is manageable with bespoke anti spam measures backed by integration with systems like Stop Forum Spam or Akismet. If you then set new accounts to require manual approval if they do things that are clearl

Uh they're not? I don't really remember most of my dreams, but from what I can tell, the technology in them usually matches real life pretty well minus a few exceptions. Smartphones would be about as common as TVs or computers or

This is also pretty good advice for game design/development too. With the added benefit that if you make the first level/area/battle last, then you'll have enough experience with the setup to make a really strong first i

I suspect there will be quite a few people in this situation, but it won't be the majority of people simply for financial reasons. If your idea of a fulfilling career isn't tech, law, finance, medicine or business/management,

AI content licensing for Reddit? This is going to go down about as well as a lead balloon. Like, if AI video and art are controversial on there, AI use of users' content is going to be even more controversial to say the least. Perhaps

I suspect the main impact will be on cutscenes, trailers for games in very early development, etc rather than on the gameplay itself. It's all well and good creating videos in this way, but creating environments that both look good and

The best setup is for the community to use multiple platforms to share information, not just one. So you'd have the issue tracker for the project, a forum for public discussions, a wiki for the documentation side of things and Discord&

Watching large tech companies seemingly just destroy everyone's trust in them has been equal parts fascinating and depressing to see. People actually liked Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc at one point. Sure, they didn't like them al

The feature is neat enough, though I'm still annoyed how much focus is put on shorts with this stuff now. Like, does every platform need to be a clone of TikTok now? The short form vertical video format is simply not the best one for m

Oh I hate the idea of physical media going away. I just worry that various entertainment industries really want this to happen, and will do whatever it takes to force us to only use digital versions under their control. And something like W

Well I guess maybe my wording wasn't ideal. Sometimes it's 'what they want changes significantly through the development process due to outside factors'. Having time to iterate is good. Being able to experiment and figur

This 100%. The issue is that much of the time, project planning is done terribly. The stakeholders have no idea what they want, and will demand extra features/sweeping changes at seemingly random. Lots of edge cases are needed for thin
