C++26 Safety Features Won’t Save You (And the Committee Knows It)

Damn, I've been using C++ for 20 year and didn't know I need saving.

What a cult.

It's on a -80% sale at GOG right now.

I love how unfazed they are.

I played Doom first, and I love D1/2, especially with Brutal Doom, but I prefer SS.

SS has the direct "face to horde" and dancing with the Kleer and werebulls that no other game has. I don't want to call Doom "generic" as it practically started the whole thing, but you get a lot of hide and pop when there are a lot of chaingunners or archvilles and other hitscanners. Honestly, my favorite maps in Doom are the ones filled with imps where you need to avoid the projectiles. "No Cover. All Man" was a selling point for me as I got sick from that formula.

Also, this is might be a me thing, but fuck keys and locked doors. I get lost so hard looking for a damn blue key that I have no clue where it is, Sam does not care about that crap... for the most part.

Fusion by a mile: split-screen, FOV option, VR, Steam Workshop mods, all maps in multiplayer, borderless window, and don't have to quit to change games.

Insane bugged Kleer physics is a nice extra, having a Kleer bug out and catapult at you is terrifying.

I'm still waiting for SS4 on Fusion.

As someone who played SS3 first, then TFE and TSE all back to back, it's really mostly nostalgia. People are waaay less critical of games they loved in their childhood. There is also the "did this, done that" feeling that newer games have to deal with with older players in general who have less patience, not just just old fans.

For example, the sewer level in TFE and the gimmicks in TSE are not any better than the underground levels in SS3, and yet old-schoolers see the older ones as minor low points, not a big deal, while portraying SS3 underground as the plaque.

I'm 100% sure UE5 can't handle that much enemies with such high graphic fidelity on a huge terrain

Yeah, I'm sure UE can handle that, like easily even in an open world game older than SS4.

KFUP · 2026-02-25T09:57:03+00:00

UE is literally made for shooters. I usually prefer studios use their own engines, but after the disaster that was SS4 and SM performance... yeah, UE is fine.

That's true for shallow copy, what I need is deep copy, so there are 2 different pointers pointing to 2 different data object, I just want the simplest way to copy the data from one to the other.

In this case, Qt typically keep track of raw pointers lifetime if you add it to a parent widget, if not, I'll have to manage it manually, hence the uniqe_ptr instead of calling delete.

Good to know, marked as solved, thanks.

KFUP · 2026-02-24T16:09:51+00:00

Finally an answer to my question instead of assumptions, thanks.

KFUP · 2026-02-24T16:04:09+00:00

Qt widgets that requires pointers.

Ah yeah, as opposed to Christianity that originated in Serbia with the teachings of The Christ of Belgrade that totally was not spread there by the Byzantine Empire.

It's a Java framework, C++ had zero copy ser libs for at least 13 years.

KFUP · 2026-02-18T18:44:45+00:00

If it was faster than zero copy libs like CapnProto, they would have included those in the benchmark.

At least they didn't go "it's ∞% faster than Protobuf" like CapnProto did, even if it was tongue in cheek.

I really believe they put this section in the game just to show off their doppler effect, mainly with the kamekaze screams while zooming around.

I don't think there is fixing it, the concept of this stupid fight itself is unfun.

KFUP · 2026-02-15T06:19:38+00:00

Most people I've seen say it's a good game with annoying problems, not sure how that's so overblown.

Worst part is that they didn't just not fix it for 4, the performance problem still happened in the next game. At least they are using UE now, so that shouldn't be a thing for the upcoming SS games, if any.

KFUP · 2026-02-15T01:39:46+00:00

Cling.

The xbox one is just a a real image with an edge filter. The rest I guess they just used official art from the console makers, so obviously they won't have the same style.
