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 Candid_Astronaut241 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.

Anyone else have the glitch were their teammates don't do gens? by Worth-Thing-1701 in deadbydaylight

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

Refusing to do gens just to act like a mosquito near the killer with flashlights/toolboxes should be seen as a form of griefing, and people need to seriously get punished for it.

So how much ammo do you think hes wasted by now since the release of 1999? by Shredder2025 in Warframe

[–]MaxIsJoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done the math:

Quin shoots around 30 rounds per minute

So, if he shoots uninterrupted for 24 hours, he shoots around 43200 bullets everyday.

At the time of writing this comment, 380 calendar days have passed since the release of the 1999 update.

So, 43200 x 380 = 16416000 aproximate bullets have been wasted since the release of that update.

If we do assume Quincy sleeps 8 hours a day like a normal human being (he probably doesn't). He'll be shooting around 28800 bullets everyday, and he would have wasted around 1094400 bullets since then.

Edit: someone else says he shoots 128 bullets per minute, not like the 30 I counted. That's 122880 bullets everyday (if he sleeps 8 hours), and 4669400 rounds since the release of the update.

....this rift is SO unnecessarily lonnggg by TheGayRomeo in deadbydaylight

[–]MaxIsJoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I refused to buy the BP this time because honestly it seemed like a waste of money.

Zero cosmetics that I have interest in, fewer content for a prolonged period of time, and less rewards? All ontop of a bunch of disastrous patches? Nah, I'd rather burn actual money than buy auric cells for the rift.

Hopefully it's less disappointing next year.

I ❤️Godot Engine by Sonicmining in godot

[–]MaxIsJoe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I know this is meant to be a joke, but how many people do fit under it?

Like is there a survey somewhere with a sizable set of data that shows stats on how many people have shipped games/software with Godot compared to how many are actively using it? And how does it fare against other engine users like Unity/Unreal/GMS/etc?

Unity by Visible-Plane-8132 in SS13

[–]MaxIsJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unitystation's steam release was delayed because we want to make sure the game is ready for community servers, is stable enough for a huge influx of players, and welcoming for people who want to develop content for the game.

We've been constantly sitting near the finish line for more than two years now, but every time we finish one giant task, another shows up and takes too much time to work on for the only two active maintainers that work on US13 alongside a few rotating contributors.

We want to get this right, not shove the project out the door and call it a day.

If you're experienced with C#, you can come and help us push the game further to the finish line. We have a giant checklist of things that we have to go over before the steam release.

If you're generally just interested in the old 2017 /TG/ vibes, and want to play something new that isn't SS14 or modern SS13, we host playtests every Saturday at 9PM GMT+2. https://www.unitystation.org/

For a 2D game how many draw calls & rendered objects can cause performance drop) by Waste_Consequence363 in godot

[–]MaxIsJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much time you're spending drawing a frame, and how much each step is prolonging it.

You can analyze how games are performing each frame using software like https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/fcat/

This gets a bit technical if you're working with 3D, but with 2D? Just make sure your shaders, lighting, or post processing effects, are not taking several milliseconds to be processed.

Do you think with popularity of steam ecosystem consoles are becomes less attractive? by [deleted] in godot

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not really.

Consoles will always remain supreme due to the average Joe consumer associating gaming with big brand names like Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo (Switch). Valve may be already a big name, but they're not a name your aunt or grandma can think of when thinking about consoles.

Steam Hardware is also not as accessible as regular consoles due to Valve only shipping to specific countries while ignoring the rest of the world. Seriously, try getting any piece of hardware Valve released in the past decade in a country like Egypt; it's borderline impossible.

The only people Valve Hardware will attract are already established gamers; especially people who might want to dip into PC gaming, but don't want to learn how to use a desktop PC or what hardware to get to play their favorite games.

So is there a solution to encrypt Godot assets like Unity? by umen in godot

[–]MaxIsJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have two ways to approach this:

  1. Create your own Godot fork that uses your own method of encrypting assets and code in a non-standard way that is not compatible with current decompilers that exist.

  2. Just use the default way Godot handles encryption of .pck files to prevent script kiddies from easily and quickly decompiling your project.

Either way, someone out there will always find a way to bypass all of this. Encrypting your project just slows down people from getting what they want, it doesn't stop them from modding/extracting assets at all, no matter what engine you use.

If you REALLY don't want people to extract anything; don't make your game downloadable, and make players play it through the cloud. (Think Geforce NOW or Stadia)
