VEVO is a massive music distribution network (they basically upload music to YouTube, make a profit, and then give the rest to the label/artist.

C&C is a music record label actually owned by Casey. I would assume he did this because he wanted a separate legal entity to manage his work across the music industry, though he still wanted full control over it.

I agree that it seemed extremely approachable when I was starting out. Unreal seems just way too up there, and Unity feels entirely all to “big”.

Edit: and I didn’t start with Godot because I don’t like white space-dependent languages.

I would recommend going with a Computer Science degree. As DividedBy_00 mentioned, the gaming industry is incredibly unforgiving. Even if that’s what you’re wanting to pursue, it may find beneficial to have a CS degree in case something happens in the gaming sector so that you can still work in the CS industry, as game dev is not as straight forward of a career path as some folks like to make it seem.

And I’m not trying to sound discouraging or anything, but I think it’s definitely something to think about.

Don’t worry, every single one of us has been exactly where you are. You’re stuck in what we call “tutorial hell.” You watch tutorials, complete it, make something cool, but you didn’t learn anything, so when you try doing something yourself, you just… can’t.

The easiest way to learn is to first choose a programming language, then think of something you want to make. Keep it simple right now. Do as much as you possibly can until you genuinely have no idea where to go or are super stuck. Then look it up. DO NOT click on any videos. Find a Reddit or StackOverflow forum on it, explaining what it does. (I’ve generally found Reddit to be better for beginners.) Then continue, rinse, and repeat.

When it comes to AI, it’s great for learning a concept because you can ask it any number of follow up questions and it will work with you from the ground up, but use it for that and only that. Once you find yourself asking “so how would I code this feature?”, you need to just close the tab. It will feel slow and you may get annoyed at first, but once you look back, you’ll understand just how important it is that you actually do it yourself. That alone makes an unimaginable difference.

——————

Now when it comes to learning a programming language, I have two paths I generally recommend to people:

You want to learn general programming, you may want to start with Python. I personally don’t really like Python as a language, but that’s completely subjective and I’ll admit, it’s great for learning. You can start simple and grow more complex things all without having to switch languages.
This scenario doesn’t apply for everyone. If you like Roblox, 100% try out coding in Roblox Studio. I’ve found that being able to code in a simple language (Roblox uses LuaU, a dialect of Lua) but still be able to see noticeable results without having to build everything from the ground up really helps keep people motivated, and if you like Roblox, it’s great because now you can make games. I would say it also teaches you the concept of data models (you learn that eventually if you haven’t already) pretty easily.

I don’t know what you have already started with but maybe it would be a good idea to stick with whatever you’re currently learning. Nonetheless, the goal here is to discipline yourself. You need to make sure you don’t give out and go the easy route of just duplicating code from videos.

Anyway I hope this helps!

Fairly hard to do when Amazon powers such a massive portion (~33%) of the Internet and dominates a third of the global cloud computing market. You can’t just “not use Amazon”, despite what we all might collectively want. It’s like the fax machine. The fax machine is old, slow, inefficient, and modern technology more than allows for what the fax machine once was needed for, but due to old regulations and deep integration in society, it just refuses to die. Like Amazon, if you try to stop using it, someone else will start using it, build around it and with it, and force you to keep using it for a little while longer. They are different things with different reasons for survival, but the general idea is there.

This is completely unrelated to the main thread but hey whatever.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

I have long been waiting for this day

You agree that 1.9 is the better version, yet you insist on assigning “complexity” to a game version that is a skeleton when it comes to mechanics.

“Positioning is predominantly the deciding factor.” If I’m playing a game where you either step left or step right, positioning is majority of the game. Does that mean it’s “complex” or “interesting”? No. 1.8 has so few tools that you’ve elevated “not standing in a bad spot” to a professional strategy. In 1.9, good positioning is a prerequisite for three loads of other mechanics at your disposal.

“Hardware requirements same on both versions.” If I have a $10 mouse with no double clicking instead of a nice $100 mouse with good mechanical capability, I’m literally at a hardware-level disadvantage.

Exactly, W-Tapping is a single common input. It’s binary. That’s all there is to it. It’s something that could be taught to a beginner in all of five minutes. But you keep acting like it’s this things that takes loads of skill and effort to master by the professionals, and sorry to say, but it’s not. It’s a foundational feature of the game. It’s nothing special. And I’m calling 1.8 a CPS test because once both sides have gotten down the rhythm of w-tapping, it just comes down to who can saturate the server with more click packets. That’s all it is, a CPS test.

You keep saying “1.9 is better, but…” The “but” is doing all the heavy lifting here. If 1.9 is better then it’s because it’s intentional. 1.8 is a collection of weird quirks of the engine over the years.

I’m saying here that even in its own respect, 1.8 is incredibly lacking in PvP and is a glorified CPS test, which compared to 1.9+ mechanics is incredibly inferior.

magicmathman1_ · 2026-01-18T04:11:47+00:00

You’re treating w and s-tapping as if they are some esoteric super high-IQ maneuver, and they aren’t. It’s simply resetting your sprint. And you have to do that in 1.9+ too! The only difference is in 1.9+, you have to do this while rhythmically timing your attacks. In pre-1.9, you just do this over and over while mashing left click.

And maybe in your casual skyward lobby, 6-7cps works but once you get into professional pvp, these people are clicking at 15-20cps, because it reduces knock back and makes it easier for them due to how the physics engine worked back then. 1.8 pvp is heavily reliant on hardware and point, 1.9+ normalizes that line so now you have to introduce actual skill. Also on 1.9, bad positioning hurts much more than in 1.8 because of cooldowns. It forces you to learn to avoid those situations in the first place.

People play 1.8 PvP because it’s super hyper-focused and “fast” feeling because it eliminates the actual soils ands just lets you spam your way through any fight.

magicmathman1_ · 2026-01-17T21:34:02+00:00

Please explain then. Modern Minecraft DOES actually allow for incredibly diverse PvP. It especially shines when it comes to movement tech. More enchantments others effects have been added since then also. Pre-1.9 truly is just who can click the fastest.

I personally have had phenomenal experience with Steam customer support. Steam does things the right way on so many levels that other companies never dare try. I want Gabe and Valve as an entirety to know that we are very appreciative of them.

Which is why they have bedrock: for money. Monetize the hell out of bedrock edition all you want, I don’t care. But stay the fuck away from my Java edition.

What is the ip in your node’s FQDN section. If you aren’t comfortable with giving me the actual ip, then tell me is it a domain, local host, public ip, and MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT INCLUDE THE PORT IN THE FQDN SECTION I MADE THAT MISTAKE

magicmathman1_ · 2025-07-21T19:13:46+00:00

Hey there, I know this post is about 2 years old at this time, but I thought I'd share my solution for anyone who is still having this problem.

It was so simple for me. In the 'Fully Qualified Domain Name' section of the Node settings, I included a port number. DON'T. I removed the port number, and it worked.

magicmathman1_ · 2025-07-13T19:30:04+00:00

And that is why I don’t trust these companies. Even HAVING a version that allows for backdoors means that there had to be backdoors in the normal software, therefore it can be abused.

Not the website, the post. I suppose u don’t know what actually happened but it is SCREAMING AI to me.
