• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shower thought, traversal in open world games have turned from game mechanics to loading screens⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Holding forward during the loading screen is not better than being free to do anything.

  Noone is against background loading. This is a given. People are against pseudo interaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is exposing their users privacy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys like you see privacy as a monolith, that it never is. Unusable privacy is meanigless as email had shown. Privacy of communications does not mean privacy of communicators and usable authentication can be more important then anonymity.

  And all this has to be realised on real-world servers, that are always in reach of real world goverment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe look out for single player games?

  Diablo-likes are not good, when the design team thinks about retention and game time instead of accessibilty.

  Stuff like Van Hellsing, Victor Vran and other AA release are not about the grind.

  Insteaf of 120 hours of PoE you can have 30-40hrs of 3 to 4 different diablo-likes a d I will tell you the difference is greater then within PoE.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isnt Icefrog one of the lead devs? I guess he likes this style of game. How many Total Wars, 4x and CoDs were released while Valve made one more Dota-like. Valve has some cool people working, vut O don’t see a Suda51, a Raphael, Swery or Co, who has the focus to develope such a single player experience. If the flat structure with ‘at will’ project focus is still a thing, than sp games have probably a problem getting devs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you punish high apm? Thats punishing people for being better.

  If you free up actions, good players will use the free space for other options.

  If it only taked 50% skill to defend an expandion, people will double expand or expand and attack at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like people dont understand, that the RT part in rtd will always be the important part.

  SC1 had build pipe lines and it wad still better to issue commands seperatley, because the player is more flexible.

  A strategy is worthless if it csn be executed and the limits of execution create strategy.

  Extraordinary pathing and all-select created the a-click deathball, that is one of the most boring ways to see, play and lose to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just black list people like a normal company - whoever i suspect they did this to revoke access during EA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe’s ‘Ethical’ Firefly AI Was Trained on Midjourney Images⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But are they? The amount must be minuscle as searching and selecting costs time. What impact can thoughtful selected images have?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK flooded with forged stamps despite using barcodes — to prevent just that⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ay one point Deutsche POST even had a sms-service for stamps. Probably thr easiest way to get a stamp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having tab groups is not identical to using 30 tabs simultaneously.

  It’s more like 2D bookmark layout, group by content, group by identity (cookies and co) and all with a website screenshot. It’s faster, more visual bookmarks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection now available on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  wc3remake is ass, but thanks to the community the game is in a pretty good state.

  It’s kind of good, that blizzard is not to invested. The stuff w3champion and co do for map pool and variety is above blizzards abilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Project L will not use LoL But Valorant as base.

  Riot is a fan of fomo and high pricess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone explain why authors do this?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A,B,C,D - A talks to B, C listens to A,…

  Alice, Bob, Charlie,…

  For this reason the first persona in my software is always Alice Litte, alice@wonderland.uk. Easier than “asfgg afshd”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP Microsoft WordPad. You Will Be Missed⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The KDE for windows software as a whole is pretty good.

  I use KDEConnect to combine phone and windows. It although makes changing between OS a lot more fluid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Yes it is. It doesnot matter how a monopoly was created. It’s the definition of a current market state, not behaviour.

  In many countries it although does not have be a true monopoly (aka a single object), but a undisputed, sizeable market portion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And a quick, lore-correct “quick-load”. Ut feels really good to try again without gaving to explicitly reload.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  limit the mp to ghost and “coop” modes - case closed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not common. Most use the default config if shootinh with leftclick.

  Shooting on space or another keyboard key i only saw with arena shooter players and it was single digit amount of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nowadays, on certain games and game launchers, you can play the game before its fully downloaded. How is possible?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What he described was done multiple times. In MMOs and single player games. The low res loading is in addition.

  Jumping ahead of the designed game experience can indead force additional loading screens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s a game for kids!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Before studying CS, I recognized it as ‘the bioware puzzle’. They were probably copying their own scribbles fron back then.

  Haskell was the hardest, but it looked the most beautiful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You just wrote bad homework is bad because it’s bad. That is not an argument against HW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t just get better at playing the piano by reading about it. Your cardio doesn’t increads by reading papers and 45min lecture is not enough for individual work in a 20 pupil glass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if public transit was like Uber? A small city ended its bus service to find out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Take a normal bike. Finnland is able to support this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smurfing is Not Welcome in Dota⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  don’t forget fun stuff like:

  mouse and keyboard config

  audio and visual config

  and the ability of the creating and looking into a log file in the gamr folder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do developers keep adding virtual cursors to console games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the primarily reason is that uniform AI is cost and time saving.

  The virtual cursor is easily replaceable by a mouse and at th same time allows you to design a cursor driven UI for console.

  It’s not the best for either, but usable for the timw invested.
