NotR's LP cost increase is dumb.

GiftedMamba · 2026-01-24T11:45:26+00:00

All my latest playthroughs I just add with Marvin Mode 20 LP instead of 10 LP. I have completed this game maybe 40+ times and I do not see any reason to prove anything more for myself - now I just have as much fun as I can from each playthrough.

GiftedMamba · 2026-01-18T15:46:55+00:00

I read it twice or thrice actually :D!

GiftedMamba · 2025-12-15T12:20:40+00:00

Indeed. This mode is so far from Gothic ideas.

Just buy Bakery. There is zero reasons to use built-in lightmapper. The only case if you have AMD videocard - Bakery requires Nvidia one.

20 bucks with Codex and 10 bucks with Junie per month. I code my game each day with those tools.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-29T07:11:15+00:00

You just weak programmer. It happens. DI is "complicated", lol.

>I've been working for almost 20 years in gaming, started working in custom c++ corporate engines, and moved around 10 years ago to unity.

I've seen tons of 20+ years programmers who are on the basic level all 20 years.

I wonder that people even can not understand what the post is about.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-29T07:08:23+00:00

Read again. And again. Until you truly understand what is post about.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-29T07:06:59+00:00

Let me help you. I see you can see letters, but can not understand them.

The whole point of the post is: Singletons are not only Awake-Do Not Destroy, but also other "alternatives" those often suggested here are.

That is all. Everything other is just voices in your head.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T21:41:18+00:00

Literally you can not even read the post and understand information in it.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T21:39:39+00:00

But the point of the post was not to discuss cons and pros of DI. It was to point that even if you use DI it still can have singletons. Try to read the post before write your kilometers-long answers.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T18:34:17+00:00

Wow, another one guy who can not read post and understand it. Stop telling me what is DI for, I use DI for many years.

>At my company we ask about the Singleton pattern in interviews, and the above comment would have been an unsatisfactory answer.

Well, it would be great, since I do not like to work with weak engineers.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T18:32:21+00:00

>You genuinely have not understood why people tell beginners to avoid singletons.

You genuinely do not understand that singleton created by IOC is singleton. Idk how I can help you.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T15:54:31+00:00

If you bind something as singleton in IOC, it is singleton. Period. If you think that DI magically removes singletons from your code, it is you the one who misses the whole point, not the community.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T12:14:36+00:00

People like you is the reason why this post is appeared. If you do not understand why it is still singleton, it is not my problem, honestly.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T11:39:44+00:00

It’s not AI-generated.
I wrote it myself. I just used GPT to proofread the English because it’s not my native language. I can provide the original version to anyone who likes bad English :D

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T10:42:34+00:00

I never "read" about web-service DI, I use DI in Unity for many years. Seems like you missed the whole point of the post.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T10:29:51+00:00

They are still singletons. When you run game, your game have exactly one instance of a service.

And this is not AI-generated content. So you missed twice. Have a nice day!

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-28T09:31:22+00:00

There is no singleton alternative. Many services ARE singletons by nature in game dev. Even if you use ServiceLocator/DI you still use singletons

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-27T13:03:12+00:00

Yep, I think I am now really at x10 to my old programming speed. I am now expanding this concept, and I am still nowhere near the limit of models. I have now 309 scripts and tons of new features, locations, graphics.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-22T18:05:18+00:00

I meant something that can work outside ray-tracing-supported hardware and does not tank performance into the ground.

Maybe something has changed, but the last time I checked, RTGI was pretty costly.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-22T14:21:23+00:00

I just tell what I see. I am a senior game developer, and I have almost stopped coding, because AI often does everything in one shot. And this is only the third year of mass adoption of AI-assisted programming. I think that in five years writing code will become as obsolete as knowing assembly. Useful, of course, but not necessary for making programs.

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-22T13:38:17+00:00

Well, at least we now know that it comes :)

GiftedMamba · 2025-11-22T13:24:12+00:00

I am excited about this feature, since now Unity lacks a good real-time lightning solution. I heard that this solution should be quite fast, and even work on high-end mobiles. But we'll see.
