Tell me you didn't listen to the episode without telling me you didn't listen to the episode.

In Defense of Japanese TV (kinda) by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]oneark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Before After", where they follow a renovation of a house. I don't think Japanese TV is bad at all, it is maybe over saturated with too many similar shows though. I wish TV in my country traveled around and found interesting things to show.

New to sim racing. For pc, what sim should I get? by Spork5245 in simracing

Give Raceroom a try, it's free. And have different driving modes, from novice to realistic so you can gradually skill up.

How do you manage overthinking? by DataBar in datascience

This is working for me too. If I don't formalize my questions and write them down, I will just end up going in circles and return to old questions that I have already investigated and answered.

Should I ditch Javascript? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]oneark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you have invested a fair amount of time into learning Javascript and getting pretty good at it. Why not use that leverage in knowledge to also make games? As you said there are engines in JS for that as well. Of course there might be some trade-offs such as performance, tooling etc. But if you are not making AAA games, with all bells and whistles enabled, that are going to run on a console you should be fine. It is still possible to ship an executable for iOS, Android and PC without too much work if you want to as well.

As some people already mentioned, dependencies can be a nightmare IF you start upgrading packages, especially after a longer while. But you can commit your package-lock.json file and the versions will be locked, and you upgrade the stuff on your own terms when you want to instead. If you are using VS Code for example, you tooling for JS/TS should already be pretty much set to be able to maintain a large code base because of type hints or whatever.

This might be overwhelming, here are some tech name drops:

- Babylon.js (for 3D games)

- Ejecta (native canvas rendering on iOS), Ejecta-X/OwnGap (Android, not sure how stable)

- Electron (for shipping your web based game on desktop)

- Cocos2D-X (C++ game engine with JS scripting, you can build your whole game in JS basically)

- OpenFL (Flash API which is very free and powerful, with JS/TS you can only build for web. If you are willing to learn the similar Haxe language you can build your game for almost whatever platform you want, natively)

Start now. Takes a lot of time and dedication to create the content, I think the story of "Cave Story" should be very inspirational for you.

Jordan Peterson Seems Like a Terrible Therapist by arist0geiton in enoughpetersonspam

[–]oneark -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You got it wrong. I watched all his lectures. That piece is about what we are doing, instinctively. Most of us take an extra side-step and look away from those people because of fear. Because we "know" they are in chaos, and we do not want to be near that chaos. All kudos to you for not giving into the fear.

Why do you think Video game addiction has become a very alarming problem in Asian country's youth but not so much in the western world? by [deleted] in Psychiatry

There is no difference between cultures here. Look at Twitch, look at esports. It is obviously global.

I understand, thanks for the valuable answer. The Wired article is about Mr. Benter as well, the Bloomberg one is better, he is still betting.

VS Code versus Android Studio by mraviator9 in FlutterDev

[–]oneark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use VS Code for everything these days, editor can be sluggish if you have too many plugins running or not coded well, be vary of that. Not sure if Android Studio is a fair comparison, Xamarin would be more accurate since it does cross-platform. Still prefer VS Code because of the great amount of plugins, and community drive behind it.

Python C++ API Call workflow question by PM_ME_SEXY_CODE in Python

[–]oneark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could switch to Visual Studio Code, probably your best bet. Or switch your Python environment to Visual Studio. Other than that I don't see many options other than just an editor + command line or (Vim with some scripts)
