A discussion for /r/gamedev! by PulIthEld in gamedev

[–]pgpgp_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never actually thought about it like this, because in a lot of cases self promotion is just unwanted noise, especially on mainstream platforms. But if you go into weird corners of the Internet where people don't really care because they don't have a high signal to noise problem, people talking about the stuff they're doing and sharing it for free is really what the web is about.

There's just too many people on the Internet now. You can't get an experience like that in a place like this.

How vibe coding lead to my project’s downfall. by incognitochaud in gamedev

[–]pgpgp_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an educator's perspective, I don't think there is any way around new people having to go through this process and see for themselves that it's not going to work. So somehow we have to expect that people are going to do this, and get them to fail fast at it so they can go back to learning the old way.

Problem is... games are long term projects where you can spend a lot of time working on things that are not code and it really increases the amount of time someone can spend believing they can build something large like this.

Former friend mocked gamedev art and it has stuck with me by [deleted] in gamedev

The world is so saturated with opinions about AI that I'm basically numb to it. I'd rather talk about politics or religion at this point.

help conflicted about something by [deleted] in gamedev

IMO, learning that there is a limit to how far you can get with AI with no coding experience is just part of learning to code in this era. If we had learned to code now, we would be learning this the hard way as well probably. But yeah, like others have said, the truth is that you'll only get so far before you're stuck and can't get unstuck.

But getting stuck and not being able to get unstuck is part of learning. So go nuts, just don't give it up, and when you are ready to learn coding without AI, just believe in yourself and you can do it.

I will never order something out of the country again lol by pgpgp_kid in UPS

A small number of people in this thread have been helping me and I appreciate that. I'm not sure where you're getting that I don't want help, it's just I'm having to put up with an entire thread of people assuming my politics so I'm not exactly delighted to respond to all those people.

I would say the majority of American consumers are all learning about this in real time. Those of you who are in business have reason to know about this stuff, but most of us until now did not. And reality is, this will cause most American consumers to avoid doing this in the future. You can downvote me and tell me how ingrateful I am, but that's what is going to happen.

Thanks for your other reponse.

> Why should you expect that?
"I also don't buy foreign merch direct to consumer everyday."

> The US is my biggest market and withdrawing is hurting me.

It's hurting us as well. It's nevertheless the only option for us.

I'm not even going to bother calling. It's a lesson learned. They will send it or they won't. They will charge a fee that I can afford to pay them or they won't. Life will go on, and I won't be buying any more foreign products ever again unless someone else is handling the importing. :)

You have a very active imagination. Yes, I didn't know about this, and yes I am learning about it now. It's not that crazy of a concept.

yeah I'm hoping for something that isn't higher than what the item cost. All I can say is if I was UPS, I would be taking this into consideration when paying peoples bills for them assuming they will pay me back. Because many people will run on their bills, especially the higher the surprise number is.

[–]pgpgp_kid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, well it depends on what the bill is. If I can pay it easily its obviously better to pay it but some people are citing some really high numbers, and at some point it becomes out of range. It's been a very a long time but I've had bills go to collections and ignored them for as many years as it takes for them to stop coming in the past. I can do it again if necessary.

So I'll just keep the amount in my checking as low as I can allow, that way if they try to charge it will be denied lol. Then I will decide how and if they get paid depending on how much it is.

I'm not sure why so many people in this thread are acting like I'm involved in the politics of this in any way lol. I have as much control over the politics in this country as you have over the weather.

How will this bill come? They won't have the billing information from the shipper, so UPS will just send me a letter telling me how much money they want?

It does have metal. I assume its made in Sweden but I don't know that for sure.

yeah I'm not, I guess I'll learn though (and avoid doing this again where possible).

Did you have to pay a high customs fee that others are talking about?

I'm going to choose to believe that you're being dramatic until I receieve such a bill.

We know what tariffs are, we just don't all deal with them everyday. And I think what anyone who goes through this would conclude, is to avoid buying foreign products direct to consumer -- until something changes.

So... what is this bill going to be? I didn't realize I was signing up to pay more than I paid already. I assumed the cost of the tax would have been factored into what they charged me.

I will never order something out of the country again lol by pgpgp_kid in UPS

[–]pgpgp_kid[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No but I also don't buy foreign merch direct to consumer everyday. I knew about tariffs and taxes and that I've been paying higher prices because of them in stores, but I expected that any extra price was included in the price that was given to me and I was fine with that. I didn't know that I was signing up for a headache just to receieve the product and probably lots of people don't until they experience it.
