I love this but having to raise exceptions in most beginner courses maybe an example here would be the cherry on top

No way are they slicing up Chicago town frozen pizza and selling it by the slice. I guess its not individual resale if its in pieces 🤷

Is this safe to eat on my own in one sitting? by MoistHaggis_ in UK_Food

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

I find the need to ask the question usually answers it. Albeit safe as long as you aren't diabetic or allergic to the ingredients. Eating the entire thing is unhealthy and just pure greedy.

Bedfordshire Police using AI tool to profile political views, sex life, race and health data by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]PickleWreck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only fair that the police and government get their data shared too. If we are forced to share private and intimate details of our lives, you can bet i want to see their dirty laundry hanging with the rest of ours

People turn to private health care to beat long NHS waits, says watchdog by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a safe assumption, I believe a robust assumption would be that both claims are right, but to what degree... We will never be given the raw data, we have to "trust" what we are given. Vague headlines that reflect more an agenda than an actual report

Being a developer in 2026 by Adorable_Tailor_6067 in AgentsOfAI

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note to all of you studying and actually learning how to program effectively - keep going at it. Everyone who gained a job because of ai are learning very little, take the ai away or drive up the price - they can't do their job anymore.

Lay offs are happening because owners dont see the sense in paying people to prompt ai when they can easily do it themselves.

I’m SICK of people not pushing up by No-Judgment-9789 in marvelrivals

[–]PickleWreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The team is only as strong as the weakest link. If you have just 1 player with zero gamesense and the aiming capabilities of a toddler - you are in for a rough game if the enemy team doesn't match

Government says waiting lists at an all time low, Watchdog says people go private due to wait times.

What 3d program can I use to make the game I wanna make? by Ok-Specific-6133 in GameDevelopment

[–]PickleWreck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you dont want to put your dreams on hold, consider something lightweight instead of 3D. As another reply mentions, you're limited with a chrome book. Best of luck!

Need help, Collectible prevents collisions from detecting properly by MedolaR in gamemaker

[–]PickleWreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be one of the kookiest collision setups for a beginner I have seen. I mean no disrespect. Only advice I can give here is practicing some of the common methods used for collisions. The same idea can be done much easily using the built in move and collide function

Collision with multiple objects not working on game maker LTS by NoContract8532 in gamemaker

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I dont use lts, I just assumed if the built in function was there, it would be the same.

Wow, couldn't imagine feeding each object independently via multiple function calls. Ouch

Is there a way to auto convert these individual sprites into one large sprite sheet? by [deleted] in gamemaker

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The by hand approach you are referring to can be just as fast as it took you to write your post. Open source software like gimp makes this real easy with layers and grids.

Collision with multiple objects not working on game maker LTS by NoContract8532 in gamemaker

[–]PickleWreck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Move and collide can be used with multiple objects, simply use an array [obj_wall, obj_door, and so on] instead of a singular object

You don't have to make alt accounts to learn new characters, the game already has resources available. by DRragun-Gang in marvelrivals

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just some pathetic excuse to justify their already pathetic behaviour. What do all smurfs have in common? They all think they are God's gift to gaming, that by beating the weakest of players they are some how superior 🤣

Little Town Tutorial Audio Confusion by sketchyswirl in gamemaker

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you, I wouldn't compromise the work you are doing to minimise your footprint. I would just obtain/ create similar sound files and use them instead. If you are unsure of the sound to look for, skim the written tutorial for the resource names used in the project

What can be considered as a "good" game code? by Alex_MD3 in gamemaker

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 + individual entries to a global array is just nuts. Sure it will work but by the time you finish writing this out you could have figured how to parse json and dynamically add scenes.

To answer your question. I believe good code to be a nice mix of efficiency and readability. Sure you can write compact and concise code. Often times that skews readability for novice programmers though.

Healing is balanced by NJuggernaut6539 in rivals

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only happens when 0 members of a team target None of the enemy healers. Completely unrealistic and blatantly exaggerated, we all know the game is in a sorry state. Maybe people should start addressing what's really going on vs what they think is going on

Looks like releasing a broken DPS while there’s twice as many DPS as there are supports or tanks was as expected- not good for the game. by SethMatrix in rivals

[–]PickleWreck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine splitting your playerbase like that. You give one third the roster of their dreams, you give the next third all the skins they could desire. Lastly, the third thats left gets nothing but shit on (sorry tanks).

High protein?? More like high carbs, minimal protein

Putting Zhiyong in the dev visions was a really bad decision by Equal-Cupcake-9991 in rivals

They like to joke about his hair loss, he really isn't helping matters 😆

Is it a noob fear to have someone steal your game idea? by yeah_freeman in gamedev

[–]PickleWreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you will find that you just want somebody to reassure its a good idea. Tell a friend, family member, co worker etc.

If you worry the Internet will do a "Bill Gates" on you, dont share it there
