Mostly yes, especially if you’re a big AAA publisher, so your game won’t get buried under cheap shovelware and the latest AAA slop. Also don’t forget that Steam barely does any moderation, especially once you become a power user, so hate groups will buy your game, leave a negative review, then refund it, because a YouTuber named Prof. Chud called it anti-white and anti-male…

Let me guess, Windows also not a monopoly, because Linux exist, and it’s just a loud minority that doesn’t like their data monitored by third parties for “ad” purposes.

If he meant the anti-woke brainrot, then yes, but that itself is just shielding corporations from actual critiques. There’s a very racist and transphobic caricature that even tries to make fun of people that doesn’t blame woke creators, but monetization practices.

Issue is, gamers think the problem with games are minorities.

Now I need two things:

1. Wait until it becomes available.
2. Get my Zenit Helios lens cleaned in the inside and reassembly it correectly from my attempt at trying to get into it to clean it myself.

From what I’ve heard, manufacturers are afraid getting sued for dumb users breaking HDMI plugs into DP sockets and vice versa.

You forgot:

• retroactively patenting game mechanics and suing companies for them

I’m quite sad that most games for smartphones are either gatcha-hell, or add-ridden messes.

What good options are there? I tried OpenTTD for Android, but the UI is really not optimized for such a small screen.

I actually got into a fight over suggesting someone to use stock photos instead of grungy-smeary AI generated images for their (sh)articles, so at least I won’t believe it was too AI generated. Then they insisted on it being their own creation, and how they became an artist through words.

Spammers

With an even more generic art direction.

Go in all on it, make PirateSoftware pay for his sin of making an indie live service.

All while anti-woke grifters be like “It must be because there’s WOMZ in it!”.

A big letdown for me is, except with some rare cases, those extra AI features useless outside of AI. Some NPUs are straight out DSPs, they could easily run OpenCL code, others are either designed to not be able to handle any normal floating point numbers but only ones designed for machine learning, or CPU extensions that are just even bigger vector multipliers for select datatypes (AMX).

I get that, but a lot of times, people’s main (and seemingly only problem) is that they can’t (instantly) soyface over what they imagine “games as art” will be.

The “worse graphics” stands for less photorealism. I could tell you about the times when someone wasn’t pushing graphical limits, it was ditched by games journalists for postponing the time when they can finally put on a VR headset to relive the battle of Normandy in first person.

The modders made sure there are some…

The virgin fascism satire as villain protagonists vs. the Chad over-the-top evil fascist antagonists.

Please, just give us back the headphone jacks!

Or let us amputate the legs of techbros (they’re obsolete in the world of cars and electric wheelchairs).

It can guess it, and will try to push for even translating languages you’re fluent in to your native one.

Video game developer here. A lot of anti-optimiation sentiment are just excuses and/or part of some dumb trend.

Oh no, compiled languages require you to choose between variable types! Better use Javascript.

Why should we develop a proper portable app environment when we have Electron? It can even run in browsers. Imagine if you didn’t had to go to your pops to install the word processor, instead he just types in wordprocessor dot app into the browser?

What if code was so easy to understand you didn’t had to document it, and each macroblock of a function instead were a named function, so they’d be automatically documented?

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I’m currently writing my own scripting VM, as most others have their own limitations, and would introduce a barely usable build system to my game engine (which are their own can of worms). Code as data is a very useful feature, but having to include DLL files as scripts would be very complicated due to platform differences, although also very fast. Issue comes when people treat scripting languages as full-fledged programming languages, and even scaring away beginners from compiled languages, because you have to compile them, you have to choose a type, etc.
