I would also like to add that 30 years ago devs had to write the engine and devtools from scratch. Player hardware and optimizations were also massive pain points that needed attention.

I would argue that cost of development has gotten CHEAPER than it was 30 years ago, even when taking the scope of today's games into account. Not to mention the market is also orders of magnitude bigger.

Any schmuk today can take Unity/UE5/Godot and make something playable in a matter of days. Barrier to entry is practically non existent. Look at Palworld, Vampire Survivors, Among Us, Balatro, Terraria. For studios with AAA-level scope look at Larian studios, Warhorse studios, Eleventh hour games, Hello games.

Large studio execs with 0 substance who don't know what they're doing are spouting this inflation drivel as justification to raise prices of their already failing games as AA and indie teams run CIRCLES around them.

I am 5 comments deep in a thread asking for TL;DW and not a single mention of what was actually said in the vid, let alone direct direct critisism of it.

It isn't, at work we're in the process of evaluating how useful it can be and a bunch of people received Cursor licenses to test it out.

If you're trying to do something common it works great as long as you are concise enough. The moment you try to get it to do something obscure it starts failing miserably.

It is perfectly fair in the context of "fuel", a resource used to produce energy. Whether energy is generated via chemical or nuclear reaction is irrelavent in this case.

Paying somone else to advertise for you. You yourself holding up a sign promoting yourself is fine, paying someone else to hold up a sign for you is illegal.

And since Arch is rolling release it's python-lib, not python3-lib. :)

Problem is that distro1 has req-lib2.5.3 while distro2 has req-lib2.7.8, but your project was developed on distro3 with req-lib2.9.5 so you have to deal with every distro having different lib versions and compatibility issues that come with it, not just different packaging formats.

Didn't know about that, how exactly is that implemented?

No problem, just makr sure your system has the exact version of libraries the application needs. And oh, you will only update those dependencies when the application update updates the requirements.

Oh what's that? Another application you want to install uses the same lib but different version? Tough luck, chump!

Seriously it's either flatpaks or the multi-version dependency management that openSUSE has, and you're not saving much more space here either.

Dragon age 2? Sure. Inquisition? Not really. The unspeakable one? Hell no.

Yup, it's something I myself recently started to realise and have been forcing myself to read things that actually interest me.

While in elementary and middle school every 2 months we had a specific book we had to read and then would discuss it in class and would be graded based on our input.

Reading books and writing essays has been cemented in my mind as a boring chore that is forced upon me. It took years before it even occured to me that reading might be a fun activity, and a couple more before I actively started trying to read again. It's difficult to break away from the mould I've been set to during my childhood, but I'm slowly chipping away at it.

Children SHOULD read, but how can we get them to WANT to read?

I am a young person who doesn't read recreationally, and I avoid writing wherever I can. Thank you for sharing your insight as well as sparking an interesting discussion in this thread.

Dragon Age: Origins is also a master class in this vain.

Thank you for this gem.

They tout the "slow and methodical" combat (which I actually liked throughout the campaign) and then they just slap in mechanics like Breach which are antithetical to it.

Feels like there are too many cooks in that kitchen.

Looks like someone wants to get off of Mr. Glucose's wild ride!

Security is a big focus for gov usage, why not base off of Debian?

Bow before the machine spirit! Taste the fruit of its wisdom!

You're wording it as if we shouldn't be outraged anyways.
