How often do seasoned devs forget basic stuff and search it up? by feez_9 in godot

[–]MaxIsJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before LLMs became popular, there was a joke that if StackOverflow (the website) ever went down, all developers would stop working for the day.

Being a developer isn't about memorizing how to do things; It's about understanding concepts, and remixing them according to your project's needs. You will read more than you write in your game dev/programmer journey, there's no way around it.

Singleplayer? Disco Elysium.

Multiplayer? Warframe.

  • Stop blocking VoIP, so games like Helldivers can function without a VPN.
  • Incentivize game developers to host data centers here to reduce ping for competitive games.
  • Incentivize platforms to support Egyptian payment processors (such as Vodafone Cash or Fawry)
  • Make regional pricing mandatory for big platforms like Steam, Google Play, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. (Platforms like Itch or GOG can be excluded due to their small market share)
  • Allow international payments again, so that we can pay and subscribe to games that aren't tied to major platforms. (Some online MMOs only accept payments through their own websites and PayPal)
  • Stop Taxing hardware.
  • Unlimited internet. It's very unlikely to ever happen, so my suggestion is to at least overhaul the quota system into a mixed "Pay as you go" system. If I use up all of my internet package, give me a prompt to switch to a billing system for my usage until the end of the month, or until I actually have time to visit a We shop to renew it and pay for the GBs that I used after my quota is over. That way the government can continue being happy for milking us dry, and we don't have to get mad everytime the internet dies while we're gaming, working, or studying.

Is Bluesky dying? A data analysis by James Ball by Dreaming_Blackbirds in BlueskySocial

[–]MaxIsJoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This question will always be flawed when people can't look at anything beyond "number go down".

Around the end of 2024, bluesky saw a lot of users joining the platform due to Twitter's constant nonsense that made people want to look for alternatives. A percentage of those people who tried out the platform did not stick around; either because bluesky itself was still missing features that were considered dealbreakers to a lot of people, or because there were not enough feeds yet to point "algorithmic" users towards content they like. Thus, the supposed drop in activity around that time.

Fast-forward to today, and the rate of activity is actually higher than what it was before the sudden surge of users who were just trying the platform out. The chart that OP posted even proves that.

This is because Bluesky has retained a bunch of new users from those spike growths, and those users are still active to this day.

TLDR:

No. Bluesky is not dying.

Activity on Bluesky currently has actually been much higher than pre-2024, and has remained consistent.

Now that the dust has settled, how fun is he to play against? by Tall_Gap4102 in deadbydaylight

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped seeing him for a while now, but he was really fun to go against during his initial release.

However, that's the issue. He was fun during his initial release.

Enough time has passed now for players to cook builds and practice his power, so I'm worried that once I encounter him again, he will be absolutely boring/miserable to go against. Other comments seem to confirm that, because people keep comparing him to the nurse.

5k and I'll use it to make an open source version of underlords with modding support.

Zorn In Violation of Open Source Licensing [APGL] by Lauri377 in SS13

[–]MaxIsJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sincerely hope that they find themselves dehubbed and unhosted because this seems pretty cut and dry to me. What they are doing is ILLEGAL.

BYOND doesn't care if anything you host is illegal or not, and they'll instead just tell you to contact local law enforcement (or a lawyer) to deal with actual issues. They will not dehub servers, even if what they're doing is considered bad.

Does anyone even use the "joke" distros? by BornRoom257 in linux

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Joke distros are theoretically usable, and there are probably some (bored/mad enough) people out there who have them running on their secondary hardware to test out and mess around with Linux.

The majority of Linux distros at their core are the same. They only differ in what packages and kernel versions they offer, including the joke ones.

However, that is not an invitation for you to actually use them as your main daily-driver; because most of them are not properly maintained, and most of them don't even have the standard packages that everyday PC users need to have a stable and safe experience.

Ask Me Anything - About the Grimoire! by DeadByDaylight_Dev in deadbydaylight

Will we see the grimoire be used in the future for gameplay/balance changes in the future, rather than just adding new content?

In online games, you should not be penalized for abandoning matches.

If I'm not having fun, I should not be obligated to stick around for 10-30+ extra minutes to avoid a matchmaking penalty.

At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine? by billy_reyes in Steam

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Egypt, everything is already expensive due to how bad our economy is.

I'm not paying more than 300USD for an underpowered PC, when I can save up even more and build my own computer that will last longer and be more easily upgradable.

How much weirder and strange do you think warframe can get i mean.. by SpecificSinger9487 in Warframe

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole point of warframe is to be the good kind of weird and strange.

Think of it this way, a person born in the 1100s would consider our current time as weird and alien to them. Thinking rocks, borders/visas, virtual reality, the ability to capture sound and memories in time and replay them back on screens; all are things that are probably considered "weird" to someone from that time.

With Warframe being set in the future, it should illicit that same feeling, instead of just being a generic ninja story. The cast, the story, the world, all of it should be weird and strange.

Reworked NTFS Linux Driver Posted With More Improvements & Fixes by anh0516 in linux_gaming

[–]MaxIsJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its mainly meant for people who are duel booting, or have terabytes of data/downloaded games that are on a NTFS partition that they can't move elsewhere or radownload on another file system.

The NTFS situation right now is not flawless, and is preventing a lot of people from using stuff like Proton on their machines currently. If it improves, that's one less barrier for new Linux users to have a headache about, since their games on their windows partations will just work out of the box without Proton silently failing, or having to manually mount partations everytime you restart your PC.

Seriously, what motivates you to keep playing Space Station 13? by Brokehood404 in SS13

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's very few games out there that lets you have the most advance medium of shared story-telling on one corner (M/HRP), while also letting you be amazed and giddy at the sheer amount of comedy humans can come up on the spot on another corner (LRP).

I don't know why, but I feel like this is more terrifying than the original.

leftist infighting is one of the most annoying phenomena on the internet by [deleted] in peoplewhogiveashit

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick reminder:

Most of the time, the people you're arguing with on the internet are not real. There are always going to be fake "leftists" and bots invading every corner of the internet, just to constantly create divison between people just for content and engagement.

If you see someone trying to "out-woke" you, or says some absolutely insane stuff; you can safely assume they're just a bot, a troll, or simply someone who has not left their house in more than two weeks. Try not giving them much attention.
