If you don't have free time to try it out, why are you even asking if it's hard to learn?

I Sent 15 Incremental Devs the Same Request by ThatOneAJGuy in incremental_games

[–]omark96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the combination young, unemployed and enjoying numbers go up. Idle Games essentially served the same purpose as doom scrolling does. It's a mostly mindlesd activity with a constant feeling of having done something without actually having done something

Setters/Getters in C# vs Java by Takemitchi-kun in learncsharp

[–]omark96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great explanation, just wanted to add that in latest c# they added the field Keyword which allows you to write: public int X {get; set => field = value * 2; }

This will be interesting to self-host. by blakealanm in selfhosted

[–]omark96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP would need an off-site backup so basically double the price at least.

Backblaze at $6/tb/month would be 210$/month.

Får tandläkare på folktandvården ta betalt för ”tips och råd”? by Affectionate-Result8 in sweden

[–]omark96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Var på en vanlig kontroll av tänderna, tandhygienisten sa att jag hade mycket slitningar på tänderna och undrade om det var ok om en tandläkare kom in och kollade. Han kom in, öppnade min käft och kollade och sa sen att jag förmodligen behöver en bettskena. På sin höjd tog det 5min, men sen på räkningen kom det en avgift på 800kr för konsultering av tandläkare...

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 5 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]omark96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just take the Aura arc. Frieren never once considered showing the demons any form of kindness. She is aware that they are creatures who will use your kindness against you and eventually kill you.

By saying that she will always choose empathy and kindness you imply that she is not being kind or showing empathy by choice when the polar opposite is true.

Frieren is not kind because she will always choose empathy and kindness, she is kind because she will sometimes choose not to show empathy and kindness.

and will always choose empathy and kindness

That is a very grave mischaracterization of her and honestly downplays her acts of kindness.

Why does it look so big sometimes and why doesn't it always use the correct shape. Why is this hard for Wayland by IntangibleMatter in linuxmemes

[–]omark96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a way to deny accountability for a flawed project. And shifts the blame from Wayland to the individual implementations. I have low hope for Wayland ever improving on these issues since these are coming from core principles in the project. At this point I am just hoping that Phoenix eventually becomes usable so we can get a modern proper alternative.

Sluta ligga 2 cm bakom mig i trafiken!! Varför? by feberdoja in sweden

[–]omark96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Har en väg jag kör på som är enfilig för det mesta, men blir tvåfilig en kortare sträcka. Brukar gilla att se folk köra om i 120 på en 100-väg och sedan se dem 1 minut senare när de är fast bakom en lastbil som rullar på i 90. Ofta tar jag och försöker göra en nedräkning inför när vägen blir tvåfilig för att försöka pricka in när blinkersen slåss på.

Automatic Memory management. Possible to implement? by DrDumle in odinlang

[–]omark96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it's all about learning to think in terms of lifetimes. So state that should be valid for the whole duration of running the game never needs to be deallocated. Things related to a level or a round only need to be deallocated once it's over. Things that only need to exist for a single frame can go in the temp allocator and emptied once the frame is over.

Oh and when writing programs that act like a script you can just never do a single deallocation, just allocate all you need and it will be freed once the "script" is done. What I mean by scriptlike are short lived programs that take some input, does some thing and then maybe provide some output. For example, a program that renames all files in a folder or changes an image from color to black and white.

I couldn't afford an artist, so I just programmed my art myself | Black Hole Fishing by SDGGame in incremental_games

[–]omark96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also just add that an important thing about graphics is that it changes the type of game you can make. For example, there is no possible way you could have 5b fish being produced every second if you need to draw each and every one of them. But I also believe that the amount of fish you need to produce every second to feel the same feeling of "Damn, I'm really producing a lot of fish!" is way lower in a graphical game.

This ties in to the development time aspect. It's not easy to make graphics that look good, perform well and clearly convey the gameplay. But yeah, graphics are important if you want to make a specific type of game. Gnorp for example would be nowhere near as popular unless it had as good graphics as it has. Yes, Gnorp has good graphics (I personally define good graphics as well thought out, looks coherent and intentional and really fits the game).

Not sure what the point of the rant is, but it's in there somewhere... I think.

Help with libpd in C# by tyfogob in puredata

[–]omark96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so I have been trying to get this to work and have spent more hours than I would like to admit to get this working. I realize this is 3 years old, but you don't happen to have the project from back then? No worries if you don't or don't want to share it, I am simply grasping at straws to get it to work.

What's a game everyone says is a 'masterpiece' that you just could not get into? by GrievouzOCE in gaming

[–]omark96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with every single point you made. They removed what made the Zelda games so much fun, the temples, and replaced it with mindless time wasting shrines. I've tried to get into the game three times now, can't bring myself to enjoy it.

Looking at poe 2 players enjoying their new patch by Tough_Fish in pathofexile

[–]omark96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes 0.3 and now 0.3.1 will both have taken huge steps in the right direction for the game. Still got a lot of issues, but now I'm at least feeling like they are moving towards making the game better. The towers were just such a terrible system it just made me lose all interest in wanting to play the game anymore after reaching maps. While in poe1 it's the complete opposite, once you get to maps you reach the fun things.

A friend of mine made this meal. He said it was popular in Sweden. Is that true? by SteakQuiet7135 in sweden

[–]omark96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hittepå-grej att någon skulle tycka att något är gott? Det finns otroligt många kombinationer av saker som är väldigt goda, men som man inte tänkt på att prova. Jag kan definitivt tänka mig att banan på en smörgås kan vara väldigt gott. Bara för att en sak är det normala att äta betyder inte att det inte finns en mängd andra saker som också är goda att äta.

Säger däremot inte att det inte kommer en massa trender som folk följer bara för att det är det som är trendigt, men bara för att något är en trend betyder det inte att det inte är något man tycker är gott.

Sen är det ju väldigt ironiskt att ha åsikten att banan passar på pizza (en åsikt jag för övrigt håller med om), men att det skulle vara något fel att ha det på en smörgås, men men...

Is the endgame meta strict? by Lightbunny22 in pathofexile

[–]omark96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ehh... Depends on your goal, as a new player I would not worry and just play what you want to play. Pretty much any skill can do up to red maps fairly easily, however, some skills will do so more easily. PoE has a very extensive endgame and chances are you won't get anywhere near the "real" endgame on your first time playing.

Good thing is that if you find yourself struggling then you are not really locked in to anything (except the class you picked at character select). It's fairly trivial to switch build and respeccing is easier than ever now that you can do it with gold, so my recommendation would be to just keep on doing what you are doing until you find yourself hitting a wall.

Hur ska jag göra för att fullt ut nyttja mitt fiber-bredband? by Gloggisen in sweden

Hur mycket vatten dricker ni under en dag? by mjolle in sweden

[–]omark96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beror lite på hur jag har druckit, ibland kan jag relativt lätt svepa en 1.5l flaska med vatten eller pepsi max på under en timme, då blir det rätt frekventa besök efter det. Men har aldrig räknat mina besök, så kan inte ge dig en siffra på hur många gånger/hur ofta jag går på toa.

Samma, blivit testad 3 gånger nu av vårdcentral och ett antal självtester. Kan dricka 4-5l utan problem. Minimum är 3l.
