For just having fun with friends nothing else comes close. It's not the best at every thing it does, but it does them all well enough and in one place, for free.

It really shouldn't be used in the way big projects try to. There aren't moderation tools to help with managing huge numbers of people, and like you said the threads and forums features aren't really user friendly.

If only we already had physical identification that proves we have the right to work. We could call it a pass-document! Then we don't need to tie it to your phone which is much more likely to be stolen. /S

FFS. I've been trying to avoid engaging with politics on lemmy but every time I learn about something good Labour's done (renter's rights, recycling changes) they announce something stupid to compensate (mandatory age verification (edit: I meant that they won't budge on it, the Tories introduced it), this and whatever the hell "AI" nonsense they're doing).

I'm just so tired, man.

Hi, someone who does make games here!

Whilst there are some concerns with the interpretability of the movement, the reasoning I have seen pirate software give comes across as disingenuous. He explains the worst possible reading, and dismisses the entire movement rather than help guiding it in the right direction like someone in his position could do.

The real reason people are mad at him is because he made some unnecessarily rude comments about the organiser and the movement as a whole, which was incredibly unprofessional and made a lot of people feel betrayed by openly siding with the same big studios that many people feel cheated by right now.

If you happen to have any questions, feel free to reach out! This is an incredibly passionate subject for both players and developers alike, but a lot gets lost in the crossfire :)

No they're wrong in mathematics too. -5^2 is -25, but -5^2 is not the same as x^2 where x= -5. No brackets needed on x.

If everyone's on the same page and wanting to play out a story, seeing how your characters and world changes in response to things not playing out as expected is part of the fun. It should never truly derail unless someone is trying intentionally to, in which case you need to talk about it. Or you got complacent and dangled a campaign altering thing too close for them to resist...

This sounds like Osvaldatore's Apex source is being sniffed out. It's just believable enough that the opportunity to be the guy to leak TF|3 was too exciting to pass up.

I hope one day they'll have the courage to actually make TF|3 but I imagine there would be few who worked on the original left at Respawn. I know a bunch of big names left when I played Apex a ton from launch to two years back or so.

This is similar to what Rick Riordan (author of Percy Jackson) suggests in one of his other works - that the afterlife is simply whatever you believe it to be. It's pretty comforting imo.

Of all the reasons to hate these messaging apps, it's because messages last forever? I'd get it if you were concerned that private companies don't really delete your messages, but you know the average person using these apps actually does want their messages to last?

Cute mascot!

Whenever ECS is brought up, I just can't think of a game I'd make where the pros outweigh the cons. I've come to the conclusion that I just don't understand it yet, so I'd love it if someone who's as passionate as you clearly are, could impart some of the things that made you fall in love with it.

We may joke about valve not making games, but they do have a large amount of people working on various titles.

They also do a lot of R&D for hardware, like the Steam Deck and VR headsets.

Now you've got me wondering if your super hearing stops at machinery or if you could hear the human body doing it's thing, provided a stethoscope and test subject- I mean willing participant.

This app has a lot of great features, it actually convinced me to sign up.
