Spent like 80 hours in the last two weeks playing Space Exploration. Send help

Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.

I installed one when I made my first Linux PC last month in case I needed to use Windows for anything that wouldn’t work fine enough on Linux.

One month later and I still haven’t used it for anything. I think I may have underestimated how fleshed out the Linux ecosystem is these days.

It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.

Just made the switch at the end of December alongside making my new PC. Feels very refreshing to actually be in control of my own computer. I’ve barely run into any issues gaming either, which is a welcome surprise - Proton remains one of the best things Valve has ever done.

This game looks absolutely incredible. I’m not going to pre-order under any circumstances (been there, done that with these guys, lmao) but I firmly believe HG are capable of sticking the landing if they try, and if it’s all it’s cracked up to be at launch I’ll be playing the shit out of it.

Professional software developer here. It’s definitely a career. I do agree it’s like art, it requires you to fit stuff together like a puzzle to get it to work. But I don’t think that makes it less of a “serious” career - there’s a lot of money in the field and as the world gets more and more invested in computing it’s become a very in-demand skill.

One of like three for me. Ghost Ship Games and Re-Logic also have my trust.

Bay 12 Games as well, though I doubt they’ll be putting anything up for preorder for another 30 years or so, lol.

Besides that, I can’t think of any other studios. Been burnt too many times before.

Honestly that’s fair. Dude’s getting old, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect him to voice Mario forever. I’m glad they’ve got him as an ambassador though, for now at least. I’d imagine he’ll help whoever next voices Mario get it right so his voice isn’t too radically different.

Yep, main returns an int in C++. It’s for the return code - if it returns 0, that indicates the program ran ok, if it returns anything else some sort of error occurred.

Minetest is great. Love the FOSS nature of it as well. I don’t think it’ll ever see really mainstream adoption, due to the (intentional) lack of content without mods, but Minecraft itself could absolutely learn a thing or two from its cubic chunks system and tightly integrated modding system.

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.
