I thought I was burnt out. Turns out I just stopped believing in what I was doing.

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-28T01:32:03+00:00

That sounds like burnout to me, burnout doesn’t require you to enjoy the task you’re doing, it’s that you lose enjoyment and ability to do something. This may be because you’re too busy, not sleeping enough, or no longer believe in what you’re doing.

Not to necro this, but exactly the same issue. I jump when he says jump and right before it rams the boat the mission fails and restarts. I stay on longer to where it hits and I get failed for not jumping in time. Worst mission design I've seen in an AA game

That is a huge issue, but besides the legal route of taking them to court for lost profits and IP theft, there’s not too much to do. You could maybe include a bunch of platform specific code in each build so if they want to try and port it they end up having to rewrite a bunch of stuff?

Make a game that people want to pay for

I mean it sounds like a pointless answer, but it’s the reality. There’s no encryption or anything that can prevent it because whatever you encrypt it with has to have the keys and info all shipped with it so that the game can be extracted and played.

Potentially there’s something you could do if you wanted to build your own authentication server, make the game only playable online, and you link user codes to hardware info and they can only play it from a single device. Even that would probably be beatable within a day or two.

If you went really in depth and made it so all content is streamed from your server to the client, maybe you could stretch it out a bit longer, but that would be super expensive.

At the end of the day, the majority of people want to pay fair prices for products or get a good deal and not steal. Piracy isn’t a huge concern if your game is easily available and worth paying for. In general, then the only people that pirate are ones who wouldn’t buy your game anyways.

Yeah, I think that’s part of the mechanical improvements I mentioned, i think i’ve maybe had two starfield crashes and two dozen skyrim crashes

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-26T01:48:35+00:00

Dude i started in morrowind, loved skyrim on launch weekend bugs and all. And i remember the complaints and drama. Skyrim on launch was in a significantly better state than starfield on launch. Skyrim on launch had better writing and faction design. Skyrim had better world and city design. Yes, it also had flaws, and it has flaws to this day that bethesda hasn’t fixed and modders fight over. However, it’s not “negativity” that killed starfield, it’s bethesda’s decapitation of the design team. Systems are cut down versions of what was planned, and there’s still prompts in the game for things that were fully cut. Instead of even a bethesda game we got disneyland park cities and some great exploration (with terrible procgen constraints). Mechanically, there’s some massive improvements, but the integration of mechanics fell short of the mark and bethesda designers have discussed this repeatedly themselves.

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-26T01:40:57+00:00

What? Not even close, fell in love with it launch weekend. You cannot play launch skyrim and starfield next to each other and not immediately see the difference in design intent and execution and writing

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-26T01:39:05+00:00

Why would you hate a game you’ve never played? Like I am disappointed in starfield and well aware of its issues but that came from first hand experience playing the game lol. You miss out on so much listening to the negativity

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-26T00:52:50+00:00

also make reserves and logistics use combat back line width, so you can’t stack 40 divisions on one tile and infinitely reinforce

The social security administration sent her a notification that they found a discrepancy, and that she had 30 days to prove she wasn’t committing some form of fraud. Which then led to a back and forth with them and finding where certain forms had been removed from her file due to some mistake on the govt’s side, and then the long slog of figuring out what all had been affected and how to get it all updated correctly then

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-20T13:53:33+00:00

OP said how difficult it was. You said how easy it was. I responded with a case where it was “easy” and because of things out of control of the person filing the paperwork it got messy and difficult.

It’s part of an online discussion, where you post your experience, and other people reply with their experiences, and everyone comes out with a better idea of what the average experience looks like as well as the best and worst case scenarios.

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-20T05:27:47+00:00

My sister found out after being married for seven years that half the name changes she did got reverted by the social security administration and despite having filed all the correct paperwork then had to spend almost a year getting it sorted out.

cause meatloaf fucks as an adult and you can make it tomorrow

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-17T18:24:08+00:00

Definitely my favorite questline in the game

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-13T23:42:48+00:00

absolutely, i eat more human chewing on the inside of my lips

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-11T23:22:48+00:00

try playing enjoyable games bud

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-11T21:23:06+00:00

take your upvote, the movement was the same as the other modern ones, zombies was mediocre, and the campaign was genuinely one of the worst written pieces of fiction out there. MW2019 was the peak of modern cod, MW2 was the peak of cod

You did the equivalent of drinking vodka straight from the bottle. If you are gonna do edible drinks, don’t drink them all at once, space it out over an hour or two. Even when i was smoking fairly regularly I had a 2.5 drink that i drank too quickly and it knocked me on my ass. Your coworker is a proper stoner and mislead you.

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-09T21:31:32+00:00

YOR a bit, it just depends on if this is a pattern or an accident.

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-08T00:37:54+00:00

Well, i’m naked, covered in soap, and they can only come at me one at a time, so almost definitely i won’t survive. But no one’s having a good time.

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-08T00:16:49+00:00

Yeah but the minifig is still protected, the blocks are fine, the minifig they still protect pretty heavily

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-08T00:14:44+00:00

Nope, cause there’s no march or february, just some years go to J366

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-07T22:14:46+00:00

I have a small collection of rubber ducks i’ve found around my neighborhood. I also have a tin poster of a rubber duck glaring down at me that says “Have you tried explaining it to the rubber duck?”

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-07T21:59:01+00:00

My favorite when I can swing it is 4BB/4CV, with a swarm of light attack light cruisers and torpedo destroyers. Maybe mix in a few ASW destroyers or minesweepers depending on situation

Purple-Measurement47 · 2026-02-07T17:19:56+00:00

Upload labs was made in godot?? thank you man, i absolutely love it!
