It's not valid criticism though. You just said: > I haven’t found a single scenario where the game wasn’t unfinished, janky and/or just plain unfun. You could easily find lots of problems even with hugely successful games like

I see this sentiment a lot on Twitter and Reddit, but it's a an overpressured Copium tank You can see a ton of polished, fun games that weren't successful by just skimming over lists of games on phones, Steam, or Nintendo Switch.

I'm with you there. You can sell a condo to collect your $600k or whatever in equity, go buy a normal house in a normal city, and retire on $40k a year between that and your other savings. My guess is that the maligned commenter I rep

Yeah, they just need to put up a bunch of 10 story condo complexes all over the Bay Area. It's insane that Tokyo is so much cheaper than Mountain View

Is there any peer to peer video streaming built into it yet? That's one thing I'm really interested in.. even if you pony up for Discord Nitro, the video stream quality is pretty atrocious. I wish I could just fully saturate my

When I was in college, there were basically two completely separate tiers of people in CS classes: People who knew how to program already, and people who didn't It was pretty nuts. The class was tuned to make it possible for non-code

yeah, I think you're right It seems like investors prefer to have a large (but still profitable) org with a lot of redundancy and clear systems in place than an elite team of superheroes I'm just annoyed that Spez is running a blo

That's true. And each one of those teams is going to need intra-team support teams with a lot of enterprise project managers, product managers, technical project managers, stakeholders, directly responsible individuals. There's
