Happens in all PvP games. Even when most players aren’t SmugMcToxicFace if they just curbstomp new players and never actively help them get better then they will quickly run out of new people to play against.

Love it!! I’ve had this cover on repeat today. :)

Gotta correct that wrong, gotta state those facts.

everyone who owns their houses took a loan, then worked

my grandfather bought him a house

mhm.

While I don’t think his father owes him a house I also don’t think it’s at all rude to ask if he’d be willing to help him get one.

I misread that title as Humans and peanut butter are close relatives. Was starting to think I was nuts.

I think the last hurdle for Godot is going to be the marketplace. Sure you can do anything you need to do but do you always have the time to? Hard for a lot of devs to give up access to such a large base of drop-in solutions. I think Godot will get there eventually though given its trajectory.

What that needs is a smoke animation that starts as soon as your core temps get too high.

Project Zomboid - harsh learning curve but fun survival
Avorion - Space combat and trading sim with block-building for custom ships.
Dwarf Fortress - very hard learning curve but you can sink thousands of hours into it and it will still surprise you.
Valheim - easy to start but difficulty scales fast as you explore

Or if you don’t mind proton some great survival/builders are:
Raft
Abiotic Factor
Satisfactory

Years ago I bought both a Steam Controller1 and a Logitech F310. The steam controller struggled to work at all outside of steam, was uncomfortable to use for any extended time and half the games I owned needed a ton of setup to be playable.

Despite being cheaper the Logitech worked with everything, required zero setup and is comfortable for hours. I sold my steam controller and am still happily using the F310.

To the same place everyone you know goes to when you aren’t thinking about them.

Users didn’t flock to zsnes because it was the most accurate, they used it because it completely nailed the user interface for loading, saving, input, and configuration.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned one of the most amazing things of pre-internet games: No wikis or video tutorials.

Sure there were some magazines if you were lucky and they might offer some hints or maps that could help but that’s nothing compared to the full playthroughs you can find hours after a new game releases today. You might think that made the games harder and more frustrating and you’ld be right. You could struggle for weeks to get past a single level.

But that also meant that every victory you had was your own. That was a feeling that is very hard to obtain today without a lot of self discipline.

I could see it working as a themed area inside a larger tourist theme park with rides and things. If most of the structure is fake just to get the look right on the surface it might not be too pricey to setup and could generate revenue just on admittance fees.

Looks like there are already interesting projects coming out of the de-compile like an unofficial android launcher:

You are allowed to charge for most libre-licensed software, but of course in practice if it’s popular enough somebody else will just build it and undercut you.

I do wish there were more institutions funding FOSS work though it can be hard to measure the benefits and progress for individual projects.

Yeah I guess you could argue that not encrypting or obfuscating the binary makes it a bit faster to create a pirated version but it doesn’t really effect piracy rates beyond that.
I’m just happy to see a FOSS engine being noticed as important to the game’s success.

Yeah unfortunate. At least the first comments there corrected them.

You know the “vibes” of different models - when to use

Would that be a vibe-rater?

Debian is great, though I do wish they’d make it easier for new users to find their unofficial live image/installers since booting the desktop of your choice with no hassle is great:
