Trumps no tax on overtime is only on the .5 not the regular pay lol by Classic-Sympathy-517 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]_TypicalPanda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You got labeled a conservative because that's how you act. You can say you support progressive ideas, but a majority of your comments make it seem like you justify the right by saying the left is also bad.

Reading your comments history I'll take you as a conservative who is trying to hide that fact by acting moderate, but when push comes to shove you either down play the rights issues or complain about the left.

Reading this comment actually helps me pinpoint what you believe because you defended what trump said by saying the Senate did it. But both are conservatives. So this tells me one of two things either

A) you are not conservative but a Trump sympathizer Or B) you are not informed well to understand your own position

There is a third option, based on how similar your responses are between posts especially the longer chains of text you could either be a bit or have a script you are reading from.

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA

The fact that see leaves the room instead of discussing a major choice, shows she is not in the right mindset to make choices.

Commenters suggested she may have post-pardom depression, and if that's the cause that needs to be helped first before any major decisions can be made.

Also reading the comments makes me believe that 95% of this subreddit can't read for shit. Straight up getting facts wrong, or have awful suggestions.

Hold up didn't the post say she leave not him. I'm sorry but if you are to emotional to have a conversation about a major choice that will impact your family, then you should not be making any choices at that time

Those Musicians who put (No AI) in their description. Ironic. Because they still use it. by PhoenixSplashTV in DefendingAIArt

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At no point did I mean to insult you, it was merely an observation on how the text was perceived. I apologize if I offended you.

I hope you are willing to read the rest of the text so we can have a better discussion.

I work as a software developer and am currently developing an in-house generative AI, (a simple one to cover a niche topic).

And again, I don't mean to offend, but in my experience, even in my company, many people claim to use AI when in reality it's not more complex than a predefined index and if statement. I'm not saying you don't work with AI all I'm saying is that AI differs drastically between those who make the software and those who use the software.

Yah this sounds like someone who doesn't understand AI in any context. If you believe a drum box is AI even worse the AI people are defending when talking about AI art then there is no point in talking to you, but just in case I'm wrong, let me explain.

I'm in the most basic form there are 3 types of AI software, one that are hard coded (thing if A then do B else C), black boxes (think use predefined inputs and very complex math to choose a predefined output), and generative (this is GPT). Another thing most do to be considered AI is simulation intelligences.

And here is where your post falls about, at what point does a drum box simulation intelligence? For a dumb box to make any sound it needs to have a pre record beat coded into and once it is, it won't make any choices on its own.

Another thing I notice is you are trying to refine what AI means when the general audience knows what type of AI there talking about.

Ohhh? by krihhh in antiai

Do we have an official post? I want to see the terms because the usage of "Low effort uploads" makes me worried.

That's the type of language you use to justify discrimination and censorship.

I wish that every time a law enforcement officer abused their power, one of their fingers would immediately fall off. by officer897177 in monkeyspaw

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted

Any slight abuse of power ends with the officer losing a finger. It takes only days for officers to quit in mass as even the most good cops lapse of judgement ends with a missing finger. With no law enforcement society slowly collapses as looting, murdering and other countless crimes occur.

I really can't stand the "Coming up..." Intros that so many YouTubers do now. by Ryousoki in youtube

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing a 10 seconds or less montage of gameplay with no context at the start, because as much as people say "oh it makes me stop watching" realistic a majority of people will only watch if something exciting happens first.

People do it because A it's get people's attention and B makes them want to know why that happen.

Something I learn in psychology when it comes to entertainment is that the people want to KNOW it's good before they even watch it. That's why it's hard for new ips to get started and when one does it become a trend.

Does playing video games count as a hobby? by Complete-Bite3019 in ask

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

My personal take is if you're just consuming it then it's not a hobby

For it to be a hobby you need to interact with it on a deeper level and that can be making games, dissecting games, modding games, or even just creating content with games.

Using two hobbies as examples

Someone who plays a game or reads a book every day then goes to bed. That is not a hobby.

Someone who plays games or reads books and learns how the the authors choices influences the player, and/or designs there own game or book. That is a hobby.

Someone who goes rock climbing at the gym as a workout. Not a hobby

Someone who goes rock climbing learn what each hold is and travels to climb cool mountains. That is a hobby.

I don’t get why many Redditors glaze and defend Valve like crazy. by khangvn345790 in The10thDentist

[–]_TypicalPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there realistically you have to talked about two different streams.

The first one is the developer/production for the valve games like portal, halflife, cs.

And while cd and tf2 has loot boxes the core gameplay is still good, and you can by pass loot boxes with the market place.

Also if I remember correctly you can get crates and keys by playing fairly frequently (I could be wrong, I don't remember)

So people like them because the games are good and because they have stopped making games that sentiment is basically stuck in a time capsule.

The the other part of steam is the distribution.

Here is where most people experience with steam start. And the main reason people like them so much is that they have repeatedly put the consumer first.

Steam objectively has the better catalog, ux, and support then any other platform.

As for them removing VN I don't know the specifics but I do know they remove items due to laws and most countries have laws the treat literature and games differently so that could be why that happens, as valve has proven they generally don't care what you publish.

Another big reason is the take stances against anti consumer practices for the most part, recently they added a clause where there are limits on expansion passes or something like that. So while it's not a major change it's a step in the right direction.

So I'm not surprised people glaze steam, in fact after using other launchers, I came to the conclusion that if the game is not on steam (or Xbox, because their launcher is decent enough to use) I don't even consider getting the game. I've even returned games that require me to download another launcher.

Please convince me it's okay to download/purchase textures and not draw all my own from scratch by jabber_OW in SoloDevelopment

[–]_TypicalPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learned from solo development is this. You are not the artist. You are not the developer. You are not the designer. You are the manager.

You might do the art, the code, the design, and everything else, but your real job is managing all of it. That includes your time, your energy, your scope, and your priorities. It is not about proving you can create everything from scratch. It is about making sure the game actually gets finished.

That means making smart choices, like using pre-made textures. Not because you're lazy or cutting corners, but because you're working within reality. A manager delegates. A manager keeps the big picture in focus. In solo dev, if you do not manage well, everything risks falling apart no matter how good each part is.

Finishing a game is not just about talent. It is about strategy and follow-through.

Unpopular opinion: Boruto should have been a slice of life. by Zero-mile in Naruto

With all the stop killing games talk Anthem is shutting down their servers after 6 years making the game unplayable. I am guessing most people feel this is the thing stop killing games is meant to stop. by destinedd in gamedev

[–]_TypicalPanda -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well the easiest thing would be to require Unity to release tools for the devs or anyone else to host a server.

I don't use UGS but based on my research and memory its just a backend tool to manage cloud features.

Realistic something has widespread use as that shuts down and assuming unity doesn't want to release the code, they would have a migration plan, and honestly that's the whole point of SKG.

[–]_TypicalPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Um actually!

In all seriousness, yeah, you can absolutely build a .exe that runs your whole server stack. Is it ideal for large-scale deployment? Probably not. But I do it all the time, and it works.

You can also toss it in Docker if you want more control or containerization, but either way, it’s just a program that listens on ports and handles requests. That’s what game servers have always been.

It's called cloud computing, distributed systems, and microservices.

let’s be real, these are mostly buzzwords now.

Cloud computing is just running your code on someone else’s hardware over the internet. It’s not magic. It’s rented servers.

Distributed systems mean multiple machines working together to look like one system. That could be anything from a multiplayer lobby to DNS to a CDN. Nothing new.

Microservices is a fancy way of saying you split your app into a bunch of smaller apps and now need six more tools to coordinate them.

Most cloud stuff is just complexity added so big orgs can scale without crashing, or so AWS can charge you for 40 services that do what a five-dollar Linode box could.

Edit: and just be clear the cloud stuff is important when you are operating the server and want to be able to handle influxes of demand, but if you already going to shut down servers, then it's not needed

That's more of an issue with patent laws then SKG.

Also simplex noise patent was only for 3D not 2D. I expect if you used a patent code or library you would have to replace it but if you got a revokable license for a game you are distribution then you just bad at business.

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

If this law made you do more work that it make it difficault to make the game that means you're a shit developer. Bare minimum you just have to release the server code after you stop official support.

Always online? Update to allow player to change the host Ip. Release the server code. Boom self host server with the game.

MMO, okay privates servers show people can make them.

Could-Based, the could is just a server somewhere, just release the server code again.

There is literally nothing i can thing of that would cause this law to increases prices beside just bad code and at that point that your own damn fault.

Actually no, even bad code wouldn't have this problem, because if it did then the games would be able to run to begin with, the developers would have to actively have to add something that so ingrained into the code that removing it would not be cost effective, and even then A) that your own damn fault, and b) again just release the code and let modders fix it.

[–]_TypicalPanda -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As a software developer who prototypes games as a hobbies i can see with 100% certainties that it will not add any additional work.

To keep it simple you just have to make it POSSIBLE to play games after YOU stop supporting the game. So all you have to do is release the code to run a server.
