I just played your game, it is extremely fun but I think there is a lot of missed potential and to be honest I would never buy it in its current state. It feels like a tech demo rather than a full game. My unsolicited advice is as follows:

Agreed, I just dusted off an old laptop with 14.04 ubuntu (or maybe it was 14.05) and tried to run a webgl app I'm making off of local host and the whole computer nearly locked up (after updating firefox too). Chrome ran it at 60fps ea

Easy mistake to make, there is a reason they call it 'pre-history' :-)

I think you are failing to differentiate between computer science and programming. In my mind computer science is to programming as fluid dynamics is to plumbing. I know next to nothing about computer science, I don't think I've e

You aren't focusing on the right skills. Until you get good at aiming, know how to move around the map, know how to read the minimap, know how to round a corner, know how to prefire, know how to place your aim ahead of time, know how t

It is extremely difficult to maintain a caloric surplus in the wild with primitive technology. This is dependent on your environment but the places where this type of survival would be easier are also nicer to live in so they've almost

And you'll only be bottlenecked by the GPU if you want to play AAA titles at high settings or at a resolution beyond 1080p. I'm still using an ATI Radeon HD 5770 and I haven't seen a compelling reason to upgrade my card.

The Palantiri don't inherently corrupt their users, they were only dangerous because Sauron had captured one of them and was feeding bad info from the other end.

Pretty much everything I know I've learned from the internet or from books I found on the internet... but for some reason I had not found your site until just now from this post! It looks really nice so I'm going to start reading

If by staying out of our elections you mean stop participating in political speech then I don't see how that is going to happen or why it should happen.

Well.... did they say anything untrue? Our media stations are propaganda outlets as well. I get my 'news' from many different propaganda sources because I've found that it is very easy to tell when they are outright lying so

Nintendo has rightly identified that their biggest potential competitor is themselves. They will never release SSBM with netplay because then a large portion of people would never buy another Smash Bros game again. You can't even buy t

Is that really tolerance? All you've done is expanded your in group. You could still be just as intolerant of your now slightly smaller outgroup.

Thanks, right now every game tick I check a sort of register to see if any keys have been pressed, held, or released and then immediately call the associated functions to implement the controls. If I'm interpreting what you said correc

Nice, I implemented something very similar, except in my game not every controllable entity a) implements every control, and b) implements controls the same way, so I store what a control would do as a member function of each object and sto

Once you've played a ton of video games you can easily judge most games by their game play aspects within 2 hours. The exception would be with highly competitive multiplayer games, and even then you can quickly get a very good idea.

The scammers do tell me something. In my view Bitcoin has some real utility and 'value' precisely for the same reason that it attracts so many scammers. As long as people want some form of digital, hard to track, irreversible way

The government already grants monopolies on lifesaving drugs that causes the price to go up more than 10000%. Although it isn't a tax I don't see how type one of law should differ from another in this scenario.

They do? People have actually sued the government because their taxes were too high for their particular circumstance? I'm not trying to be facetious, I just don't know much about this topic.

You wouldn't invade and occupy a city of over 10 million. An insurgency would threaten the city and the region and you would be invited in to help control it. Imagine 1% of that 10 million joined an insurgency. That is 100,000 people.
