Fun fact: internet explorer was originally built off the File Explorer.

I kinda stopped following programming for windows a decade ago. But in sure there is some ancient code from 30 years ago that is holding some critical files together.

Need a Explanation?

(Gestures vaguely in the air)

As a person with allergies to specific foods, then don’t make this mistake. Measure twice, cut once. These rules were written in blood, and tiniest violin for companies who fail it.

Sony has a history of being terrible with security.

They literally built malware two decades ago.

Ubisoft did that too for a while, forcing Ubisoft logins. And they’re continuing to lose staff and shut down games.

This is how we, the people, shall regain power from those pilots who think they know everything!!!

Every time someone stops me about something ridiculous, I react the same way. Like, “Who would do that?” Then I remember ah yeah idiots.

I say as a society, let’s remove that 1% of absolute idiots, and then ask if it’s still a issue?

Nice! It’s in the Humble Bundle and in my wishlist!

I didn’t upvote or downvote.

Your opinion is valid. I think some parts could be reworked. I see what you’re saying, but how you’re saying it is what is rubbing people the wrong way.

Honestly, I like these opinion posts, because even if I’m a fanboy, I might agree with certain things.

Secondly I don’t blame devs for not beeing active on social media with the community. Especially when your game is rather small this task can be really mentally exhausting and we all know how easily people get toxic on the Internet.

I took fault with that as well.

I am a developer who makes games on the side. I mostly do gamejams and release games on itch.io. It’s a pretty positive community.

But I did get one comment (only one) that some troll told me to stick to my day job. Like I am? I do this to create art and fun, and make bank working a boring software job. I put all my passion into making this game in a short gamejam window.

I know some fans love reading about “the struggle”. They see the developer eating ramen and crunching 160 hours as passion. To me, that’s abuse. Because survivors bias, there are people with 100x the passion but their game doesn’t sell.

Everyone who puts out a game is doing it for different reasons. You have no idea if the dev team was crunching late hours while their child was dying from cancer. Or if they were coding this on their golden yacht using AI bots. To judge them because they don’t share that as not having passion?

It’s a toxic metric and would strongly recommend removing it.

7/10 doesn’t mean it sucks. Just means adequate.

I played the Division 2, Ac Valhalla and FarCry 6 for 100+ hours. They helped me during the worse times of the pandemic.

But if I was talking to friends or making recommendations, we’d be taking about games that are better than that. The Elden Rings or the Ghost of Tsushima

In my area, it’s a 100-150% increase in four years.

It doesn’t sound like much until you see numbers.

A $350k house is now $700k for no reason.

A $400k house is now a million.

It’s depressing.

I didn’t watch the video but who is this stuff for?

If I was a Microsoft fan, why click?

If I was a Linux fan, the thumbnail is all I need.

Ubisoft games have such a weird “design by committee” feel to it. Like they poll the internet every few weeks and make decisions off of that. New hot game has battle pass? WE HAVE BATTLE PASS.

They also seem to follow a checklist of mediocrity. Every game needs a dozen collectable items. Every game needs to have the same l types of quests that GTA3 had. Every game has to have a massive open world. Every game needs a online component and live service. Every game needs a incredible hook, which then they Marvel-safe it to avoid offending online babies.

Their games come off with 7/10 energy. Ubisoft games don’t move the needle. They’re pretty adequate as a game. But when I have thousands of games to choose from every year… Ill pass.

Polish isn’t going to help change the Ubisoft reputation of churning same looking games filled with massive bloaty copy-paste open worlds where you do generic fetch quests, collect hundreds of feathers, and watch watered down PG-13 storytelling that’s tamer than a Marvel movie.

This is how most Gamer™ outrage is. Lots of sweaty weirdos getting triggered.

These nerds would have called Chess “woke” because the Queen is the most powerful piece.

Guyversity and himclusion, ugh word vomit.

I hate this so much. But knowing myself, Ill end up using it in ironically after a few years.

Jeez, Men getting upset at their wife being allowed to vote anonymously… What wimps.

Not a single Trumper can explain why this was unfair because their homie likes to grab pussy and fucks underage girls with Epstein.

I saw one recently and it was a man driving with his wife.
