This post makes a sweeping assumption Linux users would have women flirt with them.

Well, true for some words. OP checking out how to spell “consistently” and me trying to figure out effect/affect for a specific case…. Probably less so.

Perplexing, but nice to see!

It’s a really great and faithful remake - but I feel like I heard so little about it that I’m so confused to see new endings and player characters come out for it now months later.

Hoping it has some second wind with the general gaming crowd. Seems like it got overshadowed by RE4 and the latest Zelda game and never hit it off with that kind of TikTok, game of the month crowd

Yeah, it’s advertising. They want to be able to sell you clothes you’ll probably actually wear, video games you’ll actually play, etc. They probably don’t care about your google spell checks as much as they care about what posts you’re liking on your Instagram reels.

On one hand, it sucks to not really have that privacy. On the other hand, people act like if you don’t use a VPN for every single online service today that in 5 years data brokers will sell your exact address to the Islamic Jihad for ten dollars.

Well that’s kind of my confusion - because CS:GO isn’t an “easy” game per se, but it’s still massively popular.

It’s hard for me to know why. I do think the skill floor (as opposed to skill ceiling) is a decent part of it - but I honestly think a lot of it is just developers who never knew how to adapt that kind of arena shooter into something that actually makes money.

The death of the multiplayer boomer shooter (or crack shooter, if you will) is a real shame. They just never really maintained a presence and I’m not sure why. The most recent one I can think of was Quake Legends, which I actually thought was really good! I think the monetary approach behind it was just off.

It’s funny, back then the assumption was that these ultra fast twitch games would be the whole future, and you’d kind of assume that’s what people would gravitate to, and now the most popular competitive FPS is CS:GO by a margin - a pretty slow burn tactical game lol

I think you’re missing the forest for the trees here pretty heavily.

Yes, Python has some goofy aspects about managing it while performing high level, in depth tasks.

This is a post and a comment chain about pseudocode being taught to people who likely just learned what a “programming language” was several weeks ago. Essentially no one taking the GCSE knows what “bash-like scripts” even means.

I’m very much guessing that this is just supposed to be a type of pseudocode given the context and vagueness of it.

It’s a big reason why I really dont like pseudocode as instruction to people learning the basics of what programming is. It made more sense 20 years ago when programming languages were on a whole a lot more esoteric and less plain text, but now with simple languages like Python there’s simply little reason to not just write Python code or whatever.

I took an intro to programming class in College and the single thing I got dinged on the most is “incorrect pseudocode”, which was either too formal and close to real code or too casual and close to plain English.

It’s not a great system. We really need to get rid of it as a practice

I grew up after them. I think they’re fine in certain circumstances. If the game is supposed to have free content updates for weeks and months and whatever else after launch then yeah sure, why not

Hey, why even have to buy dyes? The game should give them all to you for free. And supplies can be gathered, you should just get infinite supply packs too

It doesn’t. You can do it in game for free very easily. You really should not get all your opinions from YouTubers

You’re not supposed to actually know anything about the game here. This is purely a thread for circlejrrking based off of what YouTubers said

You can do both of those easily for in game money.

I am not stupid because I have a differing opinion about video games than you do. Touch grass.

No you aren’t. You just made it up. I have comments going back months

It “stinks”, but I don’t really care if the game is good without interacting with the MTX at all. I just don’t

No I didn’t? I’ve had this account for months. I’m even a donor

Not only are you conspiratorial - you’re just wrong.

It’s the most bizarre and almost worrying thing now how much video games have transitioned into this “game of the month” thing - where seemingly everyone with a computer all goes and buys the same game each month because it got hyped up by the twitch steamers they watch or whatever.

Just strange. “Are you playing Lethal Company? Everyone’s playing it. Oh, you wanna play Lethal Conpany? Everyone’s playing Palworld now. Oh shit man, we’re not playing that anymore, Dragons Dogma 2 is out”

I get what they mean. A lot of the MTX seems to be items that you genuinely would find very readily in the game. Paying simply gives you a type of “very easy” mode if you’re for some reason inclined.

It’s a…. Strange decision, as it makes the game look bad. But by all accounts it doesn’t really impact the gameplay of the game. It’s just like giving you the option buy Phoenix Downs in Final Fantasy with real money. You… can. You really don’t need to, 98% of players won’t.

It’s goofy more than anything. I guess I’d rather have it rather than day 1 expansion packs like Mass Effect had.

Yes. You have to beat your own level to upload. It’s right here in the post. You can even see the video of the guy doing it
