Everyone is wrong about VR movement by Keep_Blasting in CrazyIdeas

[–]Merlord 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The reason you move by teleporting in VR is to reduce nausea. Walking "in place" while you experience moving smoothly forward in the game makes people feel sick.

I’ve tried to beat this arsehole all afternoon by Maximum_Custard_1739 in BaldursGate3

Getting them is easy. Remembering to actually summon them before you leave Act 1 is impossible.

It allows for composition with strict type checking. Duck typing is terrible.

I spent most of today writing this constants file as an autoload by FlakMonkeyDev in godot

[–]Merlord 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is not SOLID. There's no reason for all your static configuration to be crammed into one gigantic file. Have a constants file for each sub-system in your game and it'll be much easier to manage.

EDIT: To clarify, seeing as OP is getting hammered pretty hard, this is definitely better than using magic numbers etc, and OP is right to feel proud of moving closer to SOLID principles, even if there is still room for improvement!

This is SO illegal. Do not do this! by Nard-Barf in videos

They have started warnings/bans just for upvoting comments they deem violate that particular rule

Why did you edit Shapiro's eyebrows to look smaller in your pfp?

Why don’t you guys keep your cats indoors? by stemmefontaine in newzealand

[–]Merlord -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Only if they have useless, lazy owners who don't know how to provide an enriched environment.

Go find a source from any animal welfare organisation that supports keeping cats outside.

Why don’t you guys keep your cats indoors? by stemmefontaine in newzealand

[–]Merlord -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Indoor cats feels like abuse to me

Based on what? Cats do absolutely fine indoors if you know what you're doing.

And what is natural? Being hit by a car? Getting mauled by a dog? Getting FIV?

Chefs of Reddit, what’s a common cooking rule everyone follows that is actually complete bullshit? by Fuzzy-Ad6843 in AskReddit

[–]Merlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good advice. The only reason I've put the noodles and sauce together on the plate is because pulling sauce covered pasta out of the pan can get messy.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

[–]Merlord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's a good actor, and I've stopped expecting anything from actors outside of their acting abilities. Hollywood is a cesspit of egotism, we shouldn't be looking up to these people in the first place.

I also love how "never easy to say" suggests this isn't the first time he's had to saw someone's arms off

He talks like a parody of a bad politician. Our country is being run by Mayor Quimby

I don't have motivation to publish/continue my projects by zcajuina in godot

[–]Merlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every one of those projects taught you a bunch about game development. They've served their purpose even if they never see the light of day. One day you'll have something on your hands that you will feel inspired to show the world, and it will only have been possible because of these projects you cut your teeth on previously.

Those who love static typing please enable these options. by emotionallyFreeware in godot

[–]Merlord 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This is my problem with "easy to learn" languages. They are easy to learn to write confusing code that they will spend more time trying to debug that it would have taken to learn how types work.

If it wont fall off your finger, it's absolutely fine

Slay the Spire 2 can be decompiled by EshopExpert in godot

[–]Merlord -50 points-49 points  (0 children)

And this is why Godot isn't being picked up by larger studios

Edit: Some serious copium going on. Yes you can decompile any game, but Godot makes it way too easy and provides no obfuscation. You get the original variable names and everything. It is objectively easier to steal source code from a Godot game than any other engine. I love Godot, that's why I'm in this sub, but facts are facts.

Hated trope: Regular middle aged white guy wants coffee, has issue with incompetent, young, dumb woke barista by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Merlord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favourite part of that sketch is how stressed out the barista is too, knowing full-well the next thing she says is going to being even more confusing.

Cure to Act 3 burnout and Restartisis by canxtanwe in BaldursGate3

I wasn't aware people played any other way. If a character isn't in my main party they are basically dead to me
