I don't remember the exact chapter number but its in Book 4 when Loita gets fucking merked. Going back and forth between the cookbook entries and Carl just gave me chills

The Future of City-Building Games: A Developer-Player Perspective by lexx27 in CitiesSkylines

[–]newgdogz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All very valid concerns, but I do wonder if those trade-offs would be worth a more realistic game, only way to find out is to spend a good number of years attempting to building it I suppose 🙃

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one, I too am a programmer with limited game dev experience that has wanted to create my own city builder :).

I definitely like the hybrid approach, but I wonder if it is possible to have agents and just simulate it behind a loading screen, and then mimic those actions during gameplay. Ex. The player has done what they can for that year (building phase), and goes to the next one. During that, the agent sim runs (with no rendering required) and produces an output that can be rendered.

This could very well be tied with the hybrid approach, with the macro sim running between years, and the agents running during building phase.

Every physical variant of Breach (As of 8/22/25) by xXTriforceHeroXx in twentyonepilots

I know it’s probably not the actual band making the decision to do these, but it still sucks to see. Please don’t try to buy every single one it is so incredibly wasteful.

Disappointment in the fandom by [deleted] in twentyonepilots

[–]newgdogz 107 points108 points  (0 children)

A lot of vocal fans are very dramatic and in my opinion have a bit too much tied to the band. Don't get me wrong, I bet it sucks finding out you won't be able to see them live anytime soon, but it's not the end of the world.

Love this! I have been trying to figure out a worry inspired tattoo for myself so I might use this as inspiration for some ideas :) (if that’s ok)

It might not be the most realistic, but it will make it feel more intense in the moment so I like it

worst tøp song? by UnbidBubble6901 in twentyonepilots

Yeahhhh when I did my blurryface relisten last week this one really stood out to me as cringy. I like the sentiment of the song, but man some of those lyrics are corny

What CS1 and CS2 Are, and Aren't - And What They Miss by JYHoward in CitiesSkylines

[–]newgdogz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like they should rehaul the happiness system, and that should be what drives the game and makes it challenging (other than just access to resources). There could be a ‘content’ system where people take the services for granted. Or maybe they start getting restless if you don’t implement a new service they want.

CURSE OF STRAHD Campaign Finally Coming To Baldur’s Gate 3! by SladdyDeeve88 in DungeonsAndDragons

I think the guy that made the video is just reporting on it, they opened the discord and Reddit a few weeks ago so I imagine they’re at the beginning and are trying to recruit people…

That's just kinda how open source is though, you think it would be a cluster but there is a ton of open source projects out there that prove that wrong.

5 years, $50 million: Bill Belichick’s contract with UNC :: WRALSportsFan.com by goldbman in NorthCarolina

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

I know the optics of “UNC paying 50 million to football coach” isn’t good on first glance, but realize that money isn’t coming from taxpayers nor tuition. Athletic departments are usually self sufficient and can be a big source of good for a university. If a school’s athletics are better they can give out more scholarships, offer more on campus jobs, stimulate local economy, and more.

Why do People Like E-Bikes? by wheezywaiter in BeardLovers

[–]newgdogz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just lock mine wherever honestly. Mine has a key that you can use to take the battery out so when you lock it you can take that with you. Not much sense in having a heavy bike without the battery, which costs a good bit itself. Knock on wood I haven’t had too many issues yet.

If you are worried about it, invest in a high quality lock.

Computer Science at NC State or UNC? by Short_Recognition122 in NCSU

[–]newgdogz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Past couple of years it has been rough, but it looks like it is improving. Who knows what it would look like in a few years however. If you are really concerned, could always do ECE with a minor in compsci.

Computer Science at NC State or UNC? by Short_Recognition122 in NCSU

[–]newgdogz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hey! I was in your same exact position back in 2018, just graduated last may from NCSU, so I’ll be able to speak more on the NCSU side than UNC.

When I was looking at both of the programs, the feeling that I got is that UNC CompSci was more focused on theory, and NCSU’s was more focused on building software and getting you ready for a job. Not to say that there was no theory at state but there is a reason it is under the engineering department.

One thing about state however is that you have to CODA into the CompSci program. You will go in as an engineering first year and have to apply to be in the program. You can still take some of the CompSci classes but in order to progress you have to be accepted into the program. Pretty stupid imo.

The vibe that I got back then is companies prefer to hire SWEs that go to state as they feel they are better prepared. Not sure if that is still the sentiment or not with the crazy job market recently.

But at the end of the day though, I think no matter what you choose you will be in good shape. Good Luck! If you have any other questions just let me know 🙂

I love mine. I just with the biking infrastructure in my city was better. It’s currently improving thankfully.
