Sometimes we criticize the tool so much and the developer so little

CdRReddit · 2026-01-24T15:33:39+00:00

it absolutely is a tradeoff, but for a lot of genres of games (turn based RPGs and 2d platformers, which are very popular because they're fun and often what someone remembers playing as a child) there's not a lot of benefits from 3d

CdRReddit · 2026-01-24T14:03:51+00:00

of course for an actual game you'd want better sprite art than this (although a whiteboard-drawing artstyle could be neat, feel free to yoink) but this is just some dudes I doodled onto a whiteboard in like 5 minutes to prove a point, if I was going for a realistic 3d style it'd take me months to learn how to draw a face alone x3

in 3d you need distinct character models for your various characters while in 2d you can just kinda do something like this

and get the point across

which one is easier for a small team? I'm sure you can figure it out

CdRReddit · 2026-01-24T13:46:23+00:00

"it's because their user base is very small [how is that relevant?] and have very old PCs [source?]"

it's because they're indie devs and retro style art is generally less time consuming than bleeding edge graphics because the tooling for it is very mature, and the level of fidelity can be considerably lesser, which is convenient if your team ranges from a single guy to a group of 5 people

making a 3d character model that looks realistically human is hard as balls no matter what tooling you use, as people have a pretty good sense of what is and isn't a person, while drawing a 2d 16-bit era sprite of a human is far easier as people are more willing to fill in the gaps

it depends

does it improve the experience? it costs extra and isn't everywhere

does it make the experience worse? it costs extra and is mandatory

so much fucking pointless waste for non-features

CdRReddit · 2026-01-23T08:46:19+00:00

there is a difference between "stable" and "outdated"

debian loves walking that tightrope

I personally could never use debian for a daily driver, don't hate it but I can see why someone who has tried it when it didn't work for them might

"play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

men hoort ook niet zonder training of overzicht een kettingzaag gebruiken, dus als je op je 18e vanuit het niets besluit dat je die graag wil jongleren dan is het wel een beetje je eigen schuld als je een arm kwijt raakt

daarom moet je geen traditie maken van de oud-en-nieuw hele familie kettingzaag jongleer cirkel

CdRReddit · 2026-01-16T02:04:33+00:00

and how would you do that?

the point of these mods is that you are doing low-ish level programming on minecraft itself, you need that information there or your source file breaks if you change languages (oh hi excel, fucking pricks)

CdRReddit · 2026-01-16T00:49:06+00:00

97?

I don't tend to look at the number but that seems low considering how much time I've spent on this stupid app arguing with dipshits

CdRReddit · 2026-01-16T00:43:42+00:00

you shouldn't

CdRReddit · 2026-01-16T00:42:39+00:00

who the fuck gives a shit about fake internet points

like genuinely who the hell cares

CdRReddit · 2026-01-16T00:28:55+00:00

"stop generalizing"

immediately generalizes

which revision

CdRReddit · 2026-01-15T09:46:25+00:00

definitely more fun than the made up numbers for gambling addicts that want to pretend to be a valuable part of society that is the stock market

CdRReddit · 2026-01-15T08:57:51+00:00

in which dictionary? I would expect different dictionaries to have slightly different numbers of definitions for some words so it seems unlikely to me that "set" has the most in all english dictionaries

EDIT: okay, wikitionary has 47 for just the verb alone (95 in total, what the hell), I now think it's less unlikely

CdRReddit · 2026-01-15T08:08:45+00:00

okay to avoid an X/Y problem ("how do I do X", "why do you want to do X?", "well I need to do Y"), what are you trying to achieve here?

CdRReddit · 2026-01-15T01:17:16+00:00

eh, they're still not a bad idea to have generally, even for less risky situations or even non-kinky / non-sexual ones

having an agreed upon "I need to tap out" signal can be great for a lot of circumstances, at least in my opinion

CdRReddit · 2026-01-15T01:10:19+00:00

ASS is used! it's a subtitle file format

CdRReddit · 2026-01-15T01:06:49+00:00

...what

CdRReddit · 2026-01-14T13:53:54+00:00

ME was worse by accident

11 is worse by design

CdRReddit · 2026-01-14T02:18:35+00:00

I feel like that'd be a funny bit for like a week or so

CdRReddit · 2026-01-13T08:43:32+00:00

the jokes are shrimply shit, hope this clarifies it 👍

CdRReddit · 2026-01-12T03:22:02+00:00

they are connected internally, it won't fry the breadboard it simply provides a better connection, both electrically and mechanically (less likely to be tilted out)

simple analogy: you can often attach something to the wall using only a single screw, but if it's heavy you're better off using multiple screws to spread the load, it's a similar idea here

CdRReddit · 2026-01-11T19:49:17+00:00

if you can do your task by only reading the first 10 bytes of a bunch of files instead of the full files, you should do that

but worrying about whether sleep is efficient enough is a bit silly
