Maybe the new shadow warrior games, or painkiller series. I imagine any game made in the past decade would play just fine on a controller. God of War, while having quite a bit of narrative is still very much an arena fighter. The new doom games, while not third person, also fit that slot very nicely. Star Wars Fallen Order is quite souls-like. Helldivers 2 is really fun if you want some casual multiplayer fun. Control might fit the bill. You’re free to wander around, but you can also just follow the quest markers for a streamlined experience with solid combat. I hope one of those games might inspire you! I tend to gravitate towards more first person story driven shooters myself.

I actually do like it. I don’t see it as trying to show an actually accurate ratio, or for you to be able to make an informed decisions from it. I read it as a vibe check, just a quick “what would a room fu LLM of pixel users” look like.

I’m so glad you agree that Linux users are the evil ones.

Okay there Satan, want to start world war 3 do we?

MOBAs have an ability to draw out my rage like nothing else 😄

They haven’t said the final price, but they’ve said it will be cheaper than the index, so definitely the under $1000.

Let’s get an escape room game playing as Eli escaping the crumbling black mesa!

Of course any one cheater is bad. But this is a massively successful game studio complaining about cheating when they admit to not putting any resources towards creating a team to combat cheating.

i and I are acceptable in small loops. But it depends a lot on the language used. If you’re in C or bash maybe it’s fine. But if you’re in a higher level language like C# you usually have built on functions for iterating over something.

For example you have a list of movies you want to get the rating from, instead of doing

for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
    var movie = movies[i]
    ....

Its often more readable to do

movies.forEach { movie -> 
    var rating = movie.rating
    ....
}

Also if you work with tables it can be very helpful to name your iteration variables as row and column.

It’s all about making it readable, understandable, and correct. There’s no point having comments if you forget to update them when you change the code. And you better make sure the AI comments on the 2000 lines of three letter variables is correct!

That is not at all what is said. The guy you’re replying to is also wrong. Alistair only claimed most of Linux users were cheaters, that would be 0.005%, not that most of total cheaters were on Linux. But that means during their all time steam player count peak (which was after the Linux ban) if 260k players, a total of about 13 people were cheating on Linux.

Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.

I’m always amused by Eminem’s line in “Without Me”. “Little kids feeling rebellious, Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis”.

Any parents here with gen z kids who can chip in? 😄

It’s annoying you font have an easy way to confirm your data is deleted or not. But I’m not sure why you would expect the GDPR to cover you as a non-EU citizen? Hopefully soon you’ll be counted among us, but until then there isn’t much a GDPR officer could help you with.

Bloody hell, I knew they were around, but not that they had rolled out that much already.

TIL you were two different people! 😄 don’t I look silly now

Hey, I know you! I really like your posts! I don’t comment very often in them (though I should, because you play some banger games), but they always make me smile.

So orange. (I don’t actually know if ginger is part of the orange family)

Yeah Moq is what I used when I worked with .NET.

On an unrelated note; god I miss .NET so much. Fuck Microsoft and all that, but man C# and .NET feels so good for enterprise stuff compared to everything else I’ve worked with.

I think a large part of interfaces everywhere comes from unit testing and class composition. I had to create an interface for a Time class because I needed to test for cases around midnight. It would be nice if testing frameworks allowed you to mock concrete classes (maybe you can? I haven’t looked into it honestly) it could reduce the number of unnecessary interfaces.

Well if the reason you’re riding a bicycle is because you’re so utterly shit at building motorcycles they either don’t work or you don’t trust riding them, then yeah, it does matter.
