Lol TCGs are just gachapon without asian I guess

Do I even understand this correctly? You both spent hours getting to the fishing spot with fishing gear and then your dad just went “yeah, nah”?

Lol TCGs are just gacha without a computer I guess

When kids were shown the white marble buildings in ancient Rome on TV and history books and whatnot, and then end up thinking that’s how it was, instead of with colourful paint - if that is disturbing to you, you must have been a rather recent arrival on earth, no?

“Heavy engine calls” sounds slightly off.

If you do a lot of processing work in code and then send it over to Godot in one “heavy” engine call, C# will be faster.

But if you do less work in code with MANY Godot calls, the translation cost can easily overshadow the performance advantage of C# itself.

Wondering if it is the same if you search for “Kołnierz”, what with the Polish daring to have another language that English

Maybe you need to bring it to another level to understand?

If 2 women each kill another person; one in self-defence of a rape; one because they had a nice watch she wanted.

Now, don’t get lost in trying to build in details that make it more ambiguous, just examine if you would truly continue to call out the victim who merely didn’t want to be a victim.

And with the string mechanics, you’ll actually have a really hard time recreating a playthrough; it’s basically different every time

Oh wau.

The physics are so off. Like, you can see no tension trying to put force into the bow. It looks like if he releases his hand, the arrow will just fall straight down.

That sounds like not calling a cannibal a cannibal because of the negative connotation which the word doesn’t have in cannibal culture

Calm down, Bear Grylls

Well. Your interpretation is wrong. Hope that clears things up

Difficult to say, but I see points against this being a silver bullet of any sort.

A competitive game like starcraft wouldn’t be responsive enough if they transferred all unit data every tick. So they use a lockstep model, where only player commands are transferred, and they are relying on a deterministic system (not just physics) playing out the same on all connected machines.

However, a guideline for software companies is generally don’t reinvent the wheel, but “the secret sauce” should be your own. I imagine for competitive online games, the code that makes the network interaction crisp is part of the secret sauce. Such games, StarCraft, MMORPGs etc, also tend to have simpler game-relevant physics. Colliders so characters don’t clip through each other, some simple raycasting and instant collision checks for area effects, usually.

The angle a pebble flies away from an explosion is usually not made game-relevant even in single player games - so it’s not because they can’t, it’s because it doesn’t mesh with the game.

It might open up faster online play for some indie games, but I don’t know if it will have an impact otherwise.

I feel like my point was missed a bit; let me repost a part of your comment with one detail (the sport) changed:

Anyhow, I don’t think there should be an “even playing field” because that’s not realistic. Where would you ever encounter a perfectly flat tennis court, other than at a tennis game? It would be fine if that artificial constraint led to more interesting humans, but it doesn’t. It leads to boring matches.

Does that illustrate better what I am getting at?

It’s cause it’s approached as a sport, in which you usually want to have an even playing field metaphorically and literally.

Football and tennis would arguably also be more “interesting” (a better word is probably “varied”) if there were random playground elements on the field.

Can’t quickly think of ANY sport where it wouldn’t be the case, actually. But then running 100m in a straight line wouldn’t be that anymore.

Yeah, no, not that.

Not agreeing with the other commenter, but PSA:

“Let people enjoy things” is a thought terminating clichee for invalidating any criticism. You could literally say that about MAGA.

And in the case of smut specifically, several (ex-?) booktockers have come forward how being abstinent from these books had a big positive impact on their love life. A parallel to “men with porn addiction being unable to perform in the bedroom”, with smut and love life in general instead. Overstimulation of the nervous system, it even seems kinda obvious in hindsight.

Lol agree, but it’s “hear”, like “listen to this”

Uh, well, I’m anti patriarchy.

Shouldn’t take my own word that I’m not an asshole of course.

However, I’m very much “live and let live”, which is exactly why I’m against patriarchy trying to tell me I can’t exfoliate, respect my female coworkers, etc.

The first thing someone says when meeting someone new usually isn’t “I’m [pro-/anti-] patriarchy.” But every single woman I met where it came up was anti patriarchy. I haven’t met A SINGLE ONE who was for it, and honestly it would be weird.

Extrapolating here, but I don’t think all women are judgemental jerks who used their ‘feminism’ as an excuse to be a total asshole over petty bullshit about other people’s choices. They just wanna live, man
