Can anyone with experience chime in if removing support in 6.8 makes sense compared to 7.0? The only thing I’m coming up with is that you don’t have to worry about all the other breaking changes associated with a major release but it seems to go against semver doing this before a major release…
I skimmed the article and they just say:
For a date picker I initially disagreed but then their argument about how you can just use 2x input type=date for the start and end date and then it’s consistent across every site was pretty reasonable. I’m not gonna go read mdn on its capabilities right now so maybe there’s still some valid use cases for not using one, like conveying to the use what valid ranges they can select.
But yes I agree you shouldn’t use a library for something simple like left-pad
This always grinds my gears. When I was hosting custom Minecraft servers back in 2011 we had so many server side anti cheat measures in place. Prevented people from moving too fast. Randomized blocks until you exposed them so xray wouldn’t work. Logblock to identify griefers and do immediate rollbacks.
I remember this one time we had a group get on and grief someone that didn’t set up a claim yet and they thought they were so sneaky by distributing the loot amongst friends and chests. We just followed the stacks in the logs and restored everything then banned them. We actually had more people end up joining because how much auditing we could do, they probably felt like they could invest time into the server.
Now it’s like just trust the clients for everything and “oh we can’t ban them until the next ban wave because we don’t want them to know how we caught them”. It’s lazy. Back in the pubg days I remember seeing someone get 75 kills in a matter of 3 minutes. They didn’t get banned. They didn’t even have line of sight. Ban waves still allow peoples experiences to be compromised.
I think based on the context of their replies they just live exclusively in Linux and have never noticed the Mac look, or the more likely explanation that it’s subtle sarcasm (humor). Both outcomes are great in my opinion lol.
There’s probably a ton of reasons why someone would want to use unreal. Blueprints for example.
As far as “it’s the devs fault”, the unreal editor itself takes forever to load and requires installation vs Godot being nearly instant and portable binary. Systems like nanite or lumen while cool have been reported by some as traps that can make games feel really unoptimized.
I’m biased but I would say unreal has been a “bad engine” (still better than unity regardless of parent company) because it encourages bloat and is bloated. Is it really that good once you remove it’s graphics fidelity? (Genuine question because I abandoned it before deep diving into it) We really need to go back to the roots of lightweight and optimized “apps” such as Godot.
Maybe they just prefer the workflow compared to gimp
My experience might not match others but honestly I would recommend avoiding this trap. It’s just compromise and disappointment all the way up. Then you’ll be blamed for anything that goes wrong despite only 15% of your plan being accepted by executives. If the company culture is different and fosters leadership instead of stifling it then maybe it could work. At the end of the day you’re probably still going to be making someone else’s dreams come true until you start your own company.
Valve contracted codeweavers when proton started back in 2016. I would say without Valve, Linux gaming wouldn’t be where it is today. Proton is open source, so anyone can fork it and build on it. Pretending Valve didn’t meaningfully fund and push this effort is misleading. Your comments read less like “credit where it’s due” and more like “Steam bad, therefore Valve contributed nothing”, which just isn’t an honest framing.
Rust is a fantastic language for game dev. It just requires you to think completely differently if you want to have a good time. You can totally write the traditional game loop or my preference ECS (bevy as one example). ECS still let’s you do the crazy mutations without having to worry about ownership. Each system can focus on the components they care about and you can specify the order they run. If you want to be reckless and mutate global state, then you need to explicitly decide between things like RwLock<T> and RefCell<T> for example. I’m not saying everyone should drop whatever they prefer to instead use rust. It’s ok to stick with what you know or enjoy. Good games are agnostic to the tools used to make them. I just don’t think Rust deserves to be dismissed the way your statement does.
Quite the family member you got. At the very least hopefully you’ve gotten your family to shun them or something regardless of their “legal rights”. Drives me nuts seeing “idea people” exploiting the actual effort and talent it takes to implement it.
Since she “closed shop” is she running around trying to sell the software you made or is it just rotting away because her ego won’t let you try to make something of it?
Curious but were you paid for it? I’m no lawyer but I can’t imagine that holding up unless she paid you for it. Even then, without an explicit contract, there’s probably a lot of gray area this falls into because you could have just been offering a service that’s utilizing something you made.
+1 for smartgit. I just use jet brains built in git guis now but whenever I’m doing some crazy rebasing I open up smartgit. I like how it also shows you the commands in the log so you can learn by doing.
So much this. It’s even more annoying when you fix them and paste it back just for it to ignore it lol.
When you say “just like typescript?” Are you implying vanilla JavaScript is better? I don’t think typescript is considered declarative unless you’re talking about jsx/tsx files (react)
What I would give to have my attribute macros and their meta/params be formatted when they get unruly 😔
Looks like you are correct. I don’t think I could find most if not any of the leaders from the leader pass. Including Sejong. That’s incredibly disappointing. Looking through the contents of the dlc from a proton install I’m not seeing anything that would prevent someone from just using it on Linux other than editing the paths. I’ll experiment some. Maybe I’m naive and there’s a reason why no one else has done it.
Edit: proton has come so far that maybe Linux peeps just opt to use that for civ6. Especially since the Linux build might be a tad buggy? At least for me it’s definitely had issues.
Edit2: Ha. It works. That’s wild that they would just lazily not repack it…
just copy the windows dlc packs over,
copy DLC/_/Platforms/Windows -> DLC/_/Platforms/Linux
Then inside the platform Linux dir
find . -type f -name '*.modinfo' -print0 |
xargs -0 sed -i 's#Platforms/Windows#Platforms/Linux#g'
Some don’t seem to show up in game still so I’ll experiment more this weekend if I get time and throw together a bash script that downloads all the windows depots and patches them.
Edit3: for the ones not working it might be due to case sensitive file system. They use audio when looking for Audio
Is this still the case? I’ve been playing without noticing anything missing. But I’m not a veteran player that would notice either. Steam discussions seem to suggest it’s all in sync?
Oh interesting, TIL thank you
