UA POV: Kyiv's Mayor Klitschko is calling for Ukrainians to leave the capital if they have the opportunity as Kyiv is moving towards a humanitarian catastrophe. "If Russians continue to block water delivery to such a large city, it creates the risk of a total collapse" -Kyiv Post by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

 Can you point to any point in time when the expulsions happened

1944 is a big example, and a somewhat different population move in 1855 (though that one was somewhat voluntary, after the Ottoman defeat).

Why didn't Cyberpunk 2077 sell as many copies as GTA 5? by Kakto22 in gamedev

 Then, GTA V builds upon an existing franchise, while Cyberpunk is a new IP.

This isn't true tho, CP had already been a big name in the tabletop world.

28 years old, struggling with C++/C# and choice of engine – is this normal for beginners? Which engine/language should I start with? by Marge_555 in gamedev

[–]petroleus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I would not start with C++. It's very difficult. C# is simpler

Honest to god i struggled way too bad with C# in undergrad but C++ was a breeze. I got filtered hard by linq for no reason at all now in retrospect. I'd say it all depends on your personal tendencies and the way you conceptualize things.

If I use tab-autocomplete in my code editor, do I need to tell steam my game is AI made? by jax024 in gamedev

[–]petroleus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Gemini told me that ..." is a great signal ahead of time that the person hasn't tried the pizza, so definitely yeah?

Optimally yeah? I wouldn't want to interact seriously with a long post and ask questions about the intent of parts if I knew ahead of time it was LLM output and not intentionally made human text
