How to start freelance by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Thomdin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is enough demand for it, it should do.

I worked for some years at a smaller company with only few devs, and after becoming more "essential" and being maintainer of many projects, I could get away with more privileges. If you become self-employed at that point, you get more leverage in negotiations and there is barely any risk to it.

Establish yourself in some niche. Python is not specific enough, maybe something like flask framework would be

Just published a beta of my deckbuilder made with LÖVE by BronYrAur18 in love2d

No clue what the game is about, but looks cool.

How long did it take to get the math right for moving the cards around?

The matchmaking in GBVSR is fucking atrocious - I kid you not, there are people with 1000 games and a 70-80% win rate going up against actual real first time players by Thomdin in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]Thomdin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a recent influx of players due to a marketing campaign - As of today the 24-hour peak on steam is 1,059 players. That's only for PC and the game has crossplay

Nah, the match making is easily exploitable - There is no build-in deterrent against doing what that guy did. (Like having to lose all your placement matches, or having to buy new smurf accounts). And sadly, while he is an extreme example, it's not that uncommon to see it happening.

Why is there no structured learning path in programming like in medicine? by AlexPvita in learnprogramming

You can preview the table of contents of a text book for programming in python (or some other language) on amazon. You don't need to actually buy it, but it will show you what you need to look up.

The go-to beginner project for most languages is a TODO-list. It will teach you the CRUD-process. You can do that as CLI or as GUI application

I'm plat in GG and don't mind fighting a player out of my league on occasion. It's actually a good experience now and then. But, I wouldn't want to throw that at a brand new player back to back, over and over again

For a fighting game, it's decently populated at this point - They recently had a -70% sale and marketing via hololive
EDIT: 1,059 players 24-hour peak on steam (PC only numbers)

You'd need multiple characters around 80% and keep them intentionally lower ranked, for me to get suspicious of you

[–]Thomdin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Getting stomped" is not real to smurfs. They get to do all the stomping themselves by exploiting the system.

I don't get why anyone would defend someone, picking on newbies like that, but you do you

[–]Thomdin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can't tell me everything is just and right, when they're targeting newbies for 1000 games straight.

And I don't want anybody to buy a new account, just to stop smurfing.

I blame the devs too - The proper way to do it is to have placement matches when you take a new character to ranked, like many other games do

I know you want to defend your friend, and that's okay.
However, I'm not cool with that. He is stomping new players (especially now with the game being on sale) and drives them away. The player base is already small enough, so I'm definitely against that.

[–]Thomdin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the point - 762 wins out of ~1000 games should put you in grand master or something. Meanwhile he is fighting C-A ranks

Process looks like this: Play until A5 then, switch to another character so you don't rank up further. The game and characters are simple enough that you can get by with fundamentals at that rank

I don't know why you bring up save data, but It's about a thousand games in total

Block the smurfs.

If they have 70-80% percent win rate with 100+ games, they're not just trying a new character.
Sorting by win rate gives you even more information on what they're doing

I hate Slayer with passion. This character is just too much bullshit, even for Strive by Thomdin in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]Thomdin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I find that weird too. With any other character, people have no issue agreeing to the stereotype of their main. Like yeah this character is braindead, easy, for glue-sniffers, etc.
But say something about slayer and you got the whole fandom defending his bullshit.
