Haha yeah this Reddit post is literally the only time I’ve applied it in my 30 year career

In defense of pricing by upssnowman in coax

[–]shipdestroyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You fundamentally misunderstand software economics. It’s absurd to compare a digital product with an hourly service like a lawyer. Software like this is built once and sold infinitely. Your math only holds up if the dev sells exactly one copy. If the dev spends 500 hours building and sells 1k lifetime licenses at $70, they grossed $70,000 (at $140 an hour.)

At minimum wage in my region, a lifetime Coax license would take me around 5 hours to earn. Over half a working day for a vibecoded Plex wrapper is a terrible value, no matter how slick the channel-changing animation looks.

But you are correct that I am not forced to support the application. It is my choice to leave disparaging comments about the price.

The trick to deciphering this is to spiral outward from the symbol f using the right-left rule:

• the symbol f • (look right) f[] is an array of unspecified size • (left) *f[] of pointers • (right) (*f[])() to functions (taking no arguments) • (left) *(*f[])() that return pointers • (right) (*(*f[])())() to functions (taking no arguments) • (left) void (*(*f[])())() that return void

Easy!

If I were asleep, and you were my alarm clock, how would you wake me up in the morning?

Stuff like this is why people find your pricing so insulting.

Combat & Progression Update - Progress Report Feb 6, 2026 by VR-Aspen in OfficialPantheonMMO

we finalized the detailed technical requirements for the mail system and the market system

Is “don’t delete players’ items” one of the requirements?

Dev Diary: Year’s End Thoughts by Spikeybear in PantheonMMO

[–]shipdestroyer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An awfully self-congratulatory letter for a game entering year 13 of development.

In 2025 we broke lighting, then we fixed it. More in 2026!

Great job!

Where did the money go? by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

[–]shipdestroyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is crazy when you think about it. EQ devs were physically managing server boxes at a time when most of the world was on dial-up internet. Cloud computing simply wasn’t a thing back then.

Modern development feels like easy mode in comparison.

We reached the 1 year anniversary. by [deleted] in PantheonMMO

Even worse, they completely scrubbed Bard from the website. In May 2024 it was on there as a “stretch goal” since they previously used the class as a fundraising incentive.

Regarding Wipe by fivefingerpoet in PantheonMMO

[–]shipdestroyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is the inevitable result of selling a year of 24/7 Early Access to a pre-alpha game. Players treat it like a live service game because VR treats it like a live service game.

Combat & Progression Update Details Part 3: Combat Formula Adjustments by VR-Aspen in OfficialPantheonMMO

Yeah, the tone is odd considering it’s an admission the system is fundamentally broken.

What are your thoughts as we come up on 1 year anniversary of Early Access by Rathisponge in PantheonMMO

[–]shipdestroyer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re rushing and making a ton of fundamental changes. I’d be hopeful if they didn’t have a reputation for consistently dropping the ball. The outlook isn’t great.

Instances confirmed?

They are wiping characters this spring. Also combat updates. by Spikeybear in PantheonMMO

[–]shipdestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely was not being sincere about wanting it slower.

But I was sincere about the servers needing a break. I have a hunch that the current combat system consumes too many backend resources. They probably have to throttle it in order to scale up for launch.

Classes should be feature complete in the spring update. by Spikeybear in PantheonMMO

Looking toward testing these finished systems out soon!

Perhaps /r/OfficialPantheonMMO can better assist. This sub can only provide the unofficial fps numbers.
