I find the classic take that Tom Bombadil was intended by Tolkien to be god persuasive. But he is definitely creepy

Some may be uncomfortable with a company that has access to the most private data of so many people being ready and willing to cooperate with the police state, but voicing your support for this policy is actually a great way to demonstrate

No doubt...it's a big part of what makes games so fascinating and perennially relevant and fun to talk/think about

I'm no GM but I'm decent (USCF 2100+ peak) and that is a chess novice take. The game's ideological subtext is much more complex and nuanced than that
337.
by wly_cdgr 4y ago
Very true, and it does. But there are fortunately still plenty to enjoy (as well as plenty of pleasures outside of games!). I mean, just chess and Geometry Wars are enough for a lifetime. Also, it's easier for me to stomach/look p

And if I realize those opinions don't align with my own, I am now faced with the choice between failing at the game or succeeding by doing things that I think should fail. No thanks. I'll take my strategy abstract, please

I've never been able to enjoy these kinds of games because whenever I play them I just feel like I'm trying to figure out what ideologically dubious and half-informed beliefs and assumptions about urban management the developers b

Well, that jumped the shark quickly

Great stuff, but I really wish the author would have the decency to charge money for it

Why would you go back to Chrome? Everyone knows that the best desktop browser these days is Edge

Build apps and play Zachtronics games

Doubt much has changed in the industry as a whole, although maybe the identity of the worst offenders has shifted around as the shame spotlight has moved around over the years.

Sure, but there IS such an ecosystem. For example, for 3D, there are sites like TurboSquid, which shows up on the front page of a Google search for "3d model asset store"

Yes. This is the main and only major thing that is holding Godot back from mass indie adoption. I would choose GMS2 or Unity over Godot for a 2D commercial indie project even though GML is worthless on a resume and Unity has all the Unity p

by wly_cdgr 4y ago
If you're just talking about some models or sprites, can't you just buy them wherever in any file format Godot supports and import them? Ok, you might have to spend a bit of time wrapping them in Godot's nodes, but it seems l

Same old story of a company overraising its expectations for future revenue/success after a freak hit, only to be brought painfully back down to earth

Weird and way creepy

So what you're saying is, Linux sucks?

90%+ of transitions to microservices occur because the developers involved need to give the impression they are doing something in the absence of being allowed to build something new like they would prefer, and want to put "microservic

I like how something that used to be a trick for hiding draw distance limitations has become a rendering engine selling point, heh

How do you go through a whole job interview process and not realize that the company you are applying to is fake and doesn't exist?! ...Oh wait, this is crypto

Gonna be a nice aftermarket for mods to disable this garbage bullshit

UI programming is much harder than going to the moon. Do not confuse danger, scale, glamour, etc with difficulty

How can a bank get off the ground without using fractional reserves or relying on the founders putting their own money at risk to start the business? No giving out loans until you've created enough of a buffer? But how to build that bu

I think this is a pretty good way to do layoffs because it gives people more agency over whether they get laid off and more runway to make contingency plans
