Go - Dough. God - Oh.

Or even “g’dough”, either way the T is always silent.

One of the big reasons many people are “okay” with making fun of him. Is that he could basically make it all go away if he just admitted he was wrong.

The whole thing stems from him being so full of himself that he cannot admit any fault, ever. He has been objectively proven wrong many times on several different topics, there are a lot of situations that heavily indicate misconduct, etc. And he literally went on a stream with a licensed psychiatrist who tried to explain some of his faults. To which he laughed and said “Okay, don’t see it that way, but alright”.

At the end of the day, he seems almost incapable of admitting that he ever did or said anything wrong. So people keep making fun of him, since he’s objectively proven wrong repeatedly.

While you’re right to be skeptical, if they just wanted to collect data they would have an Android version. And their stated reason for not supporting it, is that push notifications on Android would require them to at store device-IDs, which they want to avoid for privacy reasons and being vulnerable to subpoenas.

While they are worse now, part of the problem is that long time users already have many of the games that get big discounts in the newer sales.

I wonder how many hundreds of millions of dollars they’ve set aside for settlements.

Threatened? So they didn’t ID them.

The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.

Although just for fun:

Then Python is not a scripting language.

That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.

Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?

There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

• Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

• Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.

Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”

Didn’t this give it away?:

to Predict Where Users Live

no proper examples

made for cops, journalists and PI’s

Translation: Unless you’ve revealed a bunch of personal information, it wont “predict” where you live.

In most of Europe you’d need a truck license before even attempting to get it road legal.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of people will dismiss it simply because it looks cheap. It’s like a a tech demo without textures. Although based on their multiple instances of stolen art, calling it an asset-flip is probably more accurate.

Survivorship/survival bias.

And yeah, it’s the same old “they really knew how to make * in the past”. Houses, bridges, spoons, video games, whatever. It’s just that the well made ones survive, and the badly made ones don’t.

In large scale online games you have issues ranging from obscure things causing memory leaks based on drivers, hardware combinations, etc. and all the way to basic things getting overlooked. One of my favorite examples being GTA5 online.

They forgot to update a function from early testing, and it was in the game for about a decade before someone else debugged the launch process. And then realized that it was going through the entire comparison file for each item it checked on the local list. So “changing a few lines” ended up reducing initial load times by up to 70% depending on the cpu and storage media.

EDIT: I’ve been drinking and probably misreemebred parts, so here is the post about how he found the issue

Yea, in things like MOBA games you have to compensate for so many edge cases that the amount of interactions between abilities is as you say, scary.

The second one isn’t bad, but I like the more trash metal style and less overwhelming bass in the first.

Which I guess is why Iove Andrew Hulshult’s remake of E1M1

Absolutely, it’s impossible to know how much. But it’s a lot easier to grasp that it’s rarely just “changing a few lines” when it comes to these types of situations.

Specially since many programmers have encountered clients, managers, etc. who think it’s that simple as well.

I can never pick one, so here’s a few:

• E1M1(Doom)

• Hell March(Red Alert)

• Character creation music in BG3

• Megalovania(Undertale)

• Coral Crown(Hades II)

I was initially put off by the character graphics and combat system, but yes it is a good story game. Other people have explained the good parts, so here are some of my personal complaints:

• There are some really dragged out cinematics. It seems like they tried to fit some of them to the music, but didn’t have anything more to animate, so sometimes it’s really long lingering or circling shots.

• After certain quests, you end up “having” to spend a long time checking in on companions. And depending on your order of quests, this can happen several times in a row. So it can take out of the quest-flow a little.

• There’s basically no map. There is an “overworld” map that is very crude and basically just shows “land, sea and major points of interest”. Theres nothing when you’re in a point of interest. So some areas can be frustrating to navigate, even when they’re not supposed to be.

• There are parts where characters seemingly make odd or rushed decisions and act as if you should know why already. Almost as if some parts were cut and they forgot to compensate in all related sections.

Personally I’m still not a big fan of the combat, and play mostly for the story. So I’m on story-mode difficulty with mods that increase resource drops and dodge window(it does not deactivate achievements).
