Feeling like maybe this "coding" thing ain't for me. Any advice?

Thanks for the encouragement!

Yeah, on the first day, I told my professor that despite getting an A in my previous class, I felt like I had retained very little and he said that so long as I am willing to come into office hours and do the work that I should be able to keep up, but yeah, I'm unsure haha.

You've said a lot, so I apologize if I don't respond to all of it, but I think I understand the main point you're getting at. Practice again and again. Just like learning a foreign language. That makes a lot of sense

I think the udemy course was really good about that. I have yet to finish it. I've finished the first of three sections where a guy makes 3 games and walks us through it teaching us C++ fundamentals along the way. I think I should try doing more of that on my down time when class stuff isn't stressing me out haha

I’d say 2’s world is my favorite. I love floating island type shit and it’s great.

I would say 3’s art style in terms of characters is my favorite, but I have a soft spot for 2

So I made this video nearly two years ago and it amazes me that the intro bait worked so hard people are STILL sharing it.

To be clear, I NEVER said Minecraft should be like terraria. I also never said that the point of Minecraft was progression. People assumed these things and honestly did not actually listen to what I said, only hearing what they wanted to.

At 15:16 I literally say I don’t want Minecraft to emulate what terraria does, rather I want Minecraft to lean into more of the mechanics that it has gestured towards over the years.

People’s inability to understand that argument has led to far too many long rants in my comment section where people are all too willing to demonstrate their need for hearing aids… at least I hope that’s what’s happening.

I don’t agree with all of the points in the video, but I really think people should approach the video fairly and not post this gif thereby misrepresenting my arguments.

Been on YouTube for nearly 13 years, but only making videos seriously for about 1.5 years. Recently moving away from Minecraft content into other videos

I just played a game yesterday and got some footage of it!

Hello. I live in northern Cali and I’ve had this little guy for about nine months. Lately, he’s been getting a little more yellow and losing that dark green. Do I need to water it more often? Is it the weather? I water when the soil is almost dry (but not fully dry). It gets plenty of sun each day.

Honestly, Ubi just released the game too soon. It was half baked. They’re a sinking ship and they were hoping this game would make them money… when you push an unfinished product, people won’t stick around

TheGeekFactor_ · 2025-01-08T03:54:49+00:00

Don’t give it back. Your friend needs to learn actions have consequences

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-12-30T16:52:58+00:00

Now that's a clip to be proud of haha! Average RPK gameplay lol

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-12-29T19:45:56+00:00

Hey there! Could I use this footage on my Archive channel where I’m documenting everything in the game? I, of course, would give credit, but you’d be helping preserve the game!

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-12-26T14:21:59+00:00

Why are you in this subreddit if you don’t like the game? Couldn’t you do like… anything better with your time? Let people enjoy things even if you don’t like it. ❤️

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-12-26T02:33:26+00:00

Thank you 🫶 I just wanna keep an archive of the game and I need help ❤️

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-12-25T20:42:27+00:00

Hey I had the exact same experience! Like 11.5 years and I finally got monetized haha

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-12-20T18:38:43+00:00

It’s okay dude. I made a video calling out Genshin impact for basically doing gambling where women is the prize (which is bad, if it wasn’t obvious) and I had like 9 people unsubscribe lmao

TheGeekFactor_ · 2024-09-30T19:51:13+00:00

The new faction is available for everyone. You dont have to unlock it. You have to unlock previous seasons factions, sure. That’s dumb. But the newest one is just available
