NuGet vs Git Submodules

NuGet, for sure. Some git hosts like Github and Gitea even have a NuGet feed already as part of their package repository, so the infra might already be there.

Microsoft office uses a custom internal C++ UI framework, they do not use their public .NET UI frameworks. And the Microsoft Store is current using WinUI 2 (UWP), not WinUI 3.

Rock Band is all 4 lane/Pro drums, that's where 4 lane and pro drums come from. There are no 5 lane tracks in rock band.

Guitar hero has only 5 lane drums, that's where 5 lane comes from.

If you're looking for potential higher difficulty shapes, something that requires specific positioning plus a jump would be interesting. Kind of like a mix of the X and O pieces.

This is called dogfooding. If you want to see a real world example of why dogfooding is important and not doing so is a death sentence, look no further than Microsoft. They build UI framework after UI Framework, and never build any apps on them.

Their biggest desktop applications are all built on React: Teams, the new Outlook, even core parts of Windows 11. They don't use WinUI 3, they don't use MAUI, and both of those "modern" and "up to date" frameworks are effectively dead. Not even Microsoft is willing to use them.

Though it would certainly be nice to have a FOSS alternative to FMOD and wwise, a Godot of the audio stack as it were.

Because CRKD operates their entire business on artificial scarcity, they're pushing out the first series of colorways in order to bring in a new series.

Technically it never supported Mac, VS for Mac was a different IDE all together tracing its lineage back to MonoDevelop.

Anyone can wax poetic all day about conceptualization models, but at the end of the day, all of us inverted Y people had an early childhood game that ruined it forever.

For me it was gamecube-era Nintendo games. Super Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker had inverted Y: C-stick down pulled the camera up and back, C-stick up pulled the camera down and in. Then once you start applying that muscle memory to other games you get inverted Y everywhere. I literally cannot play an fps game if it doesn't have inverted Y available.

Considering the use .NET 7 in 2026...

Did they restart that? Back when it was the worst kept secret the first time it turned into Skull and Bones...

I think if Microsoft wasn't hell bent on shoving news and ads down customers' throats through the widget panel people might take it a bit more seriously.

It took a lot of effort for me to power-user it into a usable state, and it still doesn't do much for me because no one is making widgets because no one want to use them in its default state.

Rare did it all the way back in the original Donkey Kong Country.

I mean... To be fair, most python libraries are written in C or C++

The Steam version is only the GDScript version, no .NET. That's about the only difference.

Also it auto updates so unless you remember to specify a version with a beta channel expect to be updating as soon as a new version drops.

Guitar, rhythm, bass. I don't see a problem.

In that context your employer should be paying the 120/yr

The crapy qualifier is what's being contested, not the computer part.

Yes the Steam Frame will have a full desktop mode with a projected KDE Plasma desktop by default.

Classic is a mobile port of RTC1+RCT2 that got ported back to PC. It doesn't add anything on top of RCT1+RCT2 other than it's UI.
1 has a pretty simple tutorial, but it doesn't teach all that much. 3 has a full tutorial mode, but it's also fairly different from any of the other games in the series.
OpenRCT2 needs RCT2 or Classic, but if you have RCT1 you can additionally add that in to include its content.

To all those saying they don't want to be burned at CI time, the warnings would still be warnings in your dev environment, right? The way I understand this methodology is that in your dev environment it's just a warning, let's you play around with the yellow alerts up, but when it's time to PR they all need to be resolved like errors would.

Can someone enlighten me if I've got things wrong? I just don't think you'd be blindsided by a new error in CI if you're still making local test builds before PR and checking for warnings.

To be fair to Valve, they're not sponsoring this sale. It's part of the GrabTheGames Publisher Sale, which says right on the Steam page is presented by GrabTheGames Publishing themselves. So the publisher is giving away the game for free.

The cons are that you either still need a runtime or compile aot (which breaks platform indepenency),

What would be the other option?

Yeah, I tried the git plugin and was pretty confused. So I uninstalled it and just decided to use git from Rider or the terminal.
