“Buying the book means you get the book.”

“What, the author’s notes? Publishing rights? I’m confused because video games are different somehow!”

The word “experienced” is missing from a lot of coverage.

This tech is okay at a wide variety of things. A lot of hate comes from people who can already do a thing the hard way. They’re better at it. Surprise? A thing that was barely an exciting blog post five years ago has not yet rivaled the performance of a skilled human professional, in any particular vocation.

But there’s probably something it can do better than you, personally. Not better than you could… just better than you can.

The more interesting part here is that experienced coders expected it to help. Why.

Unfortunately, that’s not sufficient to keep that bullshit out of big-budget single-player games. Publishers can force it upon developers - and will. Once a few games get away with it, the cult of executives will figure they’re losing money if they don’t fuck you as hard as possible.

You know why.

They’re the only mod.

A wrong and a right don’t make two rights.

Better? Not sure I’d bother with the parenthetical. And it is still using the cutesy name… for a concentration camp.

You can just say “concentration camp.”

Stop calling it that.

“Why didn’t democrats double-stamp the triple-stamp? A law would be so much sturdier than the Bill of Rights!”

Shut up.

Read: “then they came for.”

Ruby Ranger seems to be trying.

The development of Doom and Quake is a tragedy with no villains. Daikatana has several.

AI tends to be distinct, because things move so fast that we’re exposing programmers’ stupid internal names.

What an obviously terrible name.

Well yeah, Perl is write-only. Larry Wall asked the monkey’s paw for a language that works on the first try. What’s onscreen are your raw brain patterns.

Thank god it runs like crap. Optimized C isn’t pretty, but any project that compiles proves someone looked at it more than once.

Hmm.

Having watched one (1) video about this game, I’d guess the best fix would be making the combat unhinged. Don’t polish it. Crack it. Make it fit the batshit nonsense story, by being interesting, instead of sensible.

No Man’s Sky did it first.

Just a little bit pregnant.

That seems like lynching with more steps.
