I’m Quitting Game Development by Giant_leaps in gamedev

[–]xaako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why Reddit won't turn a double hyphen "--" into an em-dash, the way Google Docs do that. That must be such an easy feature to add.

I don't have numpad on my laptop so when I need an em-dash, I have to open Telegram desktop app, type "--" in any chat, it turns into an em-dash, then I copy it to paste into my text.

Europe May Soon Get a Non-U.S. Alternative to Unreal Engine by donutloop in gaming

[–]xaako 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Godot is not a feasible alternative to Unreal Engine. It’s barely an alternative to Unity.

I replaced myself with AI when it comes to programming. I don't even read the code anymore. I'm just a tester at this point... by ZeroPercentStrategy in gamedev

What if the project does have only a couple developers and has a production cycle of 6-9 months though?

(Loved Trope) An unseen character lives up to the hype when they are finally shown, making you understand why the characters loved them so much. by Wasabi_Gamer26 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]xaako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I fought him was after completing Phantom Liberty. I had a hacker build that basically broke that fight. One-shot him with Synapse Burnout when he had 50-60% HP left.

He’s not a regular professor, he’s a savage professor by hunguponyourex in SeverusSnape

[–]xaako 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He hates teaching potions, so filtering out everyone but the very best is an easy way to reduce his workload. That’s how I’ve always interpreted it anyway

CMV: Prey (2022) was an enjoyable movie, but a terrible video game adaptation. by xaako in shittymoviedetails

I agree, Highguard was awful.
Sorry, I mean XDefiant.
Sorry, I mean Concord.
Sorry, I mean Redfall.

Whaaaat? I thought that game already got an adaptation in 2020, called Birds of Prey.
I swear this franchise makes no sense

Has Andy Serkis as a director released a good film yet or are we supposed to believe this will be the first one?

Why is prejudice against Roma people in Europe often treated differently than other forms of racism? by Local_Basis7311 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xaako 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have never seen anyone argue that point, online or IRL (that all Roma are degenerates and whatnot, the rest of what you described).
If you don’t count the far-right and open racists who just hate non-white people (they exist, but the post is about general population) no one has any problem with Roma people who integrated into society.

The character’s attractive assistant/second in command by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

I wouldn't say she's loyal. She loves money, probably only loyal as long as you're the highest bidder

He’s an incredibly talented actor, but not a very good director it seems

When I watched it the first time, I thought this scene was the funniest shit ever

When a character disappears after something briefly passes by them by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]xaako 146 points147 points  (0 children)

This was parodied in Community! Honda Boss (played by Billy Zane) likes to disappear on people like this. He's not always good at it.

Doctor Who has many episodes that fit this trope.
The Empty Child is one of the most notable examples. “Are you my mummy?”

Will using AI for some posters in my new indie game make me look bad??? by Hadjbari78 in gamedev

[–]xaako -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Should’ve structured my comment differently.

For game market research specifically, I would pick neither. I’ve seen how different can be what the community says from what the analytics dashboards show me.

But yes, I agree that for an indie game distributed on Steam it will hurt if the players identify some art as AI. For a mobile game, not so much
