  • Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'

  • Working as a solo dev on a project you know by heart is literally the easiest work to do. If you’ve never had to work on a large old codebase you have no idea just how hard it can be to make changes.

    I’ve done this sort of thing for years and I would not even give an estimate on a change for a new project without some time to look at the code base.

  • Can’t be done is usually shorthand for the cost massively outweighs the benefits. No different from remodeling a building. Like coding, literally anything is theoretically possible but sometimes you’d have to redo so much existing work it’s never going to be worth it.

  • The last one is a significant concern. Huge trucks and SUVs are so prevalent and they're so big it seems like the drivers aren't as aware of their surroundings. I'd love to see us move to taxing based on vehicle weight/mileage since it's the true measure of how much wear a vehicle puts on the roads. You want that insane Hummer EV? You're paying 20x what the guy in a Civic is paying.

  • Really depends on the region. People have done plenty of cross country trips with them, but yeah if you’re out west or Midwest there are plenty of areas where you’ve got 60+ miles between chargers.

    Like I CAN plan a trip around the stops, but I’ll stick to gas for long trips until you no longer have to.

  • <<“Oh i forgot to plug in my EV after a long drive, guess i will have to wait some hours”.

    On a lot of models its like 20 minutes to charge up to 80% and typically by businesses where I can grab groceries/food/coffee. Charging tech got good a few years ago.

    The only thing I'm still leery of is long trips to national parks since something like Yellowstone has limited charging nearby. It exists, but probably more EVs looking to charge than available spots.

  • Yes yes yes. Pop down the MG right before the enemy charges in and go to town.
