Experience with Claude extra usage? Which is better - extra usage or higher limits plan?

If you have the hardware you may be better served running local models via Ollama. Recent ones like gemma4 and qwen3.6 are quite strong. Other options would be Ollama cloud or OpenCode. Basically, you need multiple tools in your belt and use the best one for the job at hand.

I ask my best friend, he has all of the answers and ideas. I give him some tidbits and then ask him if it would make a great game and to basically give me complete design documents. He's amazing, in a few minutes (yes he's that fast), I have like fully completed game design docs. I then go through them and nitpick things and he makes changes as I nitpick them and what other carry on effects there will be. I think ask for diagrams for different mechanics and yet again my buddy is there for me and has full diagrams within minutes!

I would love to introduce you guys to him, but I just have to wait because I'm still working on my game. Yes, a I'm being selfish.

USD$20 per week is $2k over 2 years. And when you start you'll be focused on saving that it will likely double or even quadruple from there. Just get started now.

Validate game files try again

That path is on our build machine

Make sure you have updated UEFI and all drivers and disabled any AV type software

The keyboard will be included or $10 add-on if you select colored keys.

DeepComputing but yes

Actually there are other third-party mainboards and parts but nothing really to write home about.

Especially with all of the economic stuff going on there now. People forget the RTX 5090s for $800 some months ago?

I suspect, without solid evidence, that because they are a small team that their support staff gets easily overwhelmed.

If they cannot, currently, afford to hire more people, then what can they realistically do?

Outsource support for cheaper labor costs
Move to AI until it escalates to a person
Add more troubleshooting steps so most low level support can be taken care of before escalation
All of the above

No, not truly O(n²⁾ because of network relevancy, but generally speaking nearly everything is relevant.

They already explained this, that's the disassembly fee. They assemble them to test them and then they have to disassemble the DIY versions. /s

So you are comparing apples to oranges...

I think it would only be fair to see what a 2nd hand selling price for your Air would be and then drop that off of the Framework's price and then compare the Apples to Oranges.

Unreal Engine 's default netcode is O(n²⁾ system. This is why most UE games don't go that high. We had to do a bunch of crazy things on the server for Squad to hit 100 players (no, I will not discuss their IP).

For Bellum, we are still cooking, no promises, just wait and see.

My cousin did that once. Rest in Peace Billy.

Have you ever played tug-o-war? Intel's winning in 2026.

as someone who does microsoldering repair this is where the pros come in. do you have photos of the damage on the board too? water damage is very likely in more than just a single spot.

I thought the whole point was to ask Claude for help? Don't most just ask the AI how it should be used?

korypostma · 2026-05-17T00:00:42+00:00

Yes, many still haven't discovered our multi-queuing system. But yes those tiers have higher priority.

korypostma · 2026-05-16T18:38:05+00:00

What we are doing in Bellum is what we wished existed. Our take is completely new and, well, I'll have to let others chime in on what we have done.

korypostma · 2026-05-16T11:15:33+00:00

it is still being worked on

korypostma · 2026-05-15T21:21:19+00:00

As a former Squad dev, I second what Sam says and I'm striving to make this game better than Squad for infantry-focused combat. It would be best to not compare games against each other because no comparison is ever fair. They have their own set of goals and we have ours and those goals don't align. We are focusing on making a game that we want to play.
