Ja, fände ich auch absolut notwendig. Kann sehr gut sein, dass er gewisse vermeintliche Bedrohungen überspitzt dargestellt hat, während rechtsextreme Bedrohungen gedeckt wurden. Damit kann er große Teile der Politik und politischer Meinungen geprägt haben.
Erstaunlich unaufgeregt. Man konnte von der Shopping-Meile einfach direkt in die Demo reinspazieren und da war alles komplett friedlich. Ich dachte, dass man da irgendwie mit Faschos oder der Polizei aneinandergeraten könnte, aber da gab’s überhaupt nichts.
Hab jetzt nicht mit den Polizist*innen gequatscht, aber als ich in der Menschentraube von Nicht-Assis stand, dachte ich mir nur, dieses Gefühl der Rührung muss doch bestimmt sogar im Streifenwagen ankommen.
Dass da tausende Menschen zusammenkommen, um zu sagen, dass Menschenrechte geil sind. Dass es geil ist, sich verdammt nochmal zu vertragen. Dass das nicht irgendwie eine politisch motivierte Einzelgruppe ist, sondern Menschen aus dem gesamten politischen Spektrum, jung & alt, ganze Familien, und sowohl Menschen, die dem arischen Bullshit entsprechen, als auch Leute, die von der AfD eigentlich eingeschüchtert werden sollen.
Einige hielten Schilder, Regenbogen- und Antifa-Flaggen hoch, aber es gab wirklich Unzählige, wo man gemerkt hat, dass sie sonst nicht auf Demos gehen. Die gekommen sind, um unfassbar unpolitische Farbe zu bekennen, dass Nazis hier nicht willkommen sind.
Wow, wie sich das auch einfach liest, als würde es von der Webseite selbst stammen. Nirgends wird erwähnt, dass das von einer KI frei erfunden wurde.
In principle, I agree, but I feel like part of that is just AAA vs. indie.
AAA games need to provide lots of lukewarm content, because many more casual players will buy them and expect much bang for their buck + haven’t seen this lukewarm content a million times already.
On the other hand, indies will basically only be bought by people more enthusiastic about the hobby. As such, they have to pick out one or two aspects and excel at them, so that it’s something new for that crowd.
Hello Games was indie and unknown at the time, so likely only attracted that gaming enthusiast crowd, which would have been more easily bored by the extremely lukewarm content in Starfield.
I thought, this was going to be about DoomRL, which is a different take on that: https://drl.chaosforge.org/screenshots

Well, typically, being married for 60 years would also involve not dying for the past 70+ years…
Well, this isn’t a problem for smaller, less centralized services, so that might be an answer. Obviously not an answer big corporations will bring to the table, but ultimately, it might simply be among the reasons why users do still prefer smaller services.
Sure, but some game engines out there do give you quite a bit to work with, too.
And well, I was talking specifically about the guy enjoying the coding without necessarily caring about the end result (like he’d do, if he patched up Starfield without enjoying the game).
If that were the case, even designing the physics can be a fun riddle.
I enjoy how it sounds like the guy didn’t even start out by playing the game, but rather started modding right away. I do get that. The coding itself is fun.
But yeah, the guy could also be making an own game, if it was just about the coding. At some point, you do want your mod to be part of a game worth playing.
Normally, I would reply to the guy, because, you know, he’s a human being, but there’s so many replies, I doubt, he can actually read all of them and potentially someone else has already made that point.
Anyways, I feel like something he kind of misses here is that many of us do it from a heartfelt place. Like, we’re all techies. We’ve all used commercial software to a point where we’ve grown so frustrated with it that we decided it is a waste of time.
So, it’s not us saying “Why don’t you go and just have more time/money?”.
Rather, it’s us saying “This thing is wasting your time? Here is a solution that I felt wasted less time in the long run.”.
Yes, sometimes that does miss the mark, because not every complaint is looking for a solution. Or because we may be frustrated with restrictions of commercial software, which are not a problem for less techy people. Or even because we’re embedded in this tech world and are hoping to make it a better place, which someone just quickly visiting may not care about.
But other times, I do just happen to know a lot about technology and a non-techy genuinely did not know about the solution I suggested and is actually really appreciative of me bringing it up. It does happen. And it’s not easy to discern who would appreciate a suggestion and who won’t.
Yeah, I imagine the reaction to bullying is quite different, depending on whether you still have people standing up for you. Due to toxic masculinity and previous friendships having broken apart just before, I was practically left to my own devices and I was too young to be proud of anything without a third party recognizing it…
I watched it on my phone in 1080p60 and the scale didn’t bother me. It’s not like I have to read a lot of text and the precise position of the player character is mostly irrelevant, too. Like, if you get hit by a train or something, the screen will flash red and you’ll react to it, too, so I’ll know what’s going on.
Well, and I don’t look at the screen at all times anyways. 🙃
Would like to see more of this journey…
I’m not saying they’re mutually exclusive, I just find it tricky to draw information from that.
For example, I correctly assumed this to not be akin to Dungeon Keeper, which would be a city builder like Rogue in the sense of it being a dungeon crawler.
But at the same, I guess, I assume Against the Storm would have procedural map generation like Rogue did, even though I don’t really consider that typical for city builders.
And yeah, this fuzziness of the term ‘roguelite’ means I don’t really know how much city builder to expect…
Ah yes, a city builder, which is a genre pretty much opposite to the original Rogue, but make it like a lite version of Rogue. 🙃
I mean, I don’t really care. Words change meanings. But this one does hurt my brain quite a bit, trying to understand which parts of the Rogue formula they kept…
It hails back to the early days of the ampersand, from when it was basically still just Latin “et”: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trebuchet_MS_ampersand.svg
Personally, I do like this font (Fira Mono+Sans), because it still looks professional, without being so boring that I get depression from looking at it.
But yeah, that ampersand is pushing it a bit, as I’m not sure everyone else knows that’s an ampersand…
Well, openSUSE did it long before everyone else. So, Debian, Fedora, Arch?
I would kind of be surprised by Fedora, too, as I thought, they shipped out-of-the-box automatic snapshotting, but the comment from @[email protected] sounds like that is still a problem…
Tangentially is 2023 chock full of great games because the pandemic held up the development of so many studios?
I know, they all announced that, but as a software dev, I really don’t see why this should be the case. We largely just moved into home-office and continued working, often even at increased efficiency. I guess, building games might require somewhat more creative sessions, which are generally more productive in person, but I don’t see that making a huge difference.
My impression was rather that they had the usual delays, with maybe a few hickups at the start of the pandemic, and then they just declared the pandemic the whole reason for the delays.
As for 2023 being so full, the pandemic meant lots of people were at home, consuming digital goods. It caused a massive boom in the gaming industry. I imagine, lots of studios were able to secure (bigger) budgets during that time, which are now coming to fruition.
Yeah, I meant, as an attacker, you couldn’t come up with a similarly unreadable version.
At least, as far as I can tell, defining a function requires spelling out function and seems to require being defined on multiple lines, too.
Den Kollegen dann vielleicht auch einfach in die Klapse stecken…
