store costs to developers/publishers are insanely high for a digital distribution platform

Isn’t the 30% cut what basically everyone takes? AFAIK GOG, Ubisoft, EA and all three console manufacturers take the same share.

Besides Epic only itch.io with their choose your share system and Discord (do they even still sell games?) take/took less.

And biology is definetly green.

I want to add that you should consider that your teacher is teaching you fundamentals of programming. break and continue are often options to use, but you shouldn’t try to solve everything with them. You are probably writing pretty basic functions in class right now where it doesn’t really matter, but with more complex problems break and continue constructions might easily get pretty messy.

Also your teacher has a plan what to teach you over the whole semester. If recursion is part of this plan it’s valid she wants you to understand the basics of calling functions first. This might be overkill for easy problems but it could help you to be a better programmer in the future.

No, no, you have to delete your git config. That’s part of the challenge.

I’m also back on 60 Hz on my 160 Hz monitor because of this challenge. So cute though.

I probably just got lucky because I beat him first try. Just a completely different experience.

I actually like Automata’s prologue :D

Haven’t played Death Stranding myself but at least the paths are pretty short in Nier at least compared to how I imagine Death Stranding. That doesn’t make farming items more fun though.

I already did 3 fragile deliveries :D
The biggest “problem” is that you cannot tell beforehand if a quest will be good or not. The lighthouse lady and the old man’s dog quests had an amazing conclusion, so they were totally worth it, even though gameplay wise they were boring.

I think you definitely feel that Automata is an improvement on the OG Nier (assuming that OG Nier and the remake aren’t that different) in terms of quest design. That doesn’t make Replicant bad though.

Nier Replicant ver. whatever

Haven’t played the original, only Automata, and damn this game has a lot of fetch quests. Pretty rewarding from time to time, but the gameplay of the side quests is ass. I hope I don’t have to do much more fragile deliveries.

+1 for Cherrytree, I can even recommend it on Linux. The tree structure makes it so much better to sort things than OneNote with the limited depth.

the line is stating opinion as fact
I totally understand what you mean and I usually don’t like it either but I think this post is easily recognized as an highly subjective opinion. So I’m fine with the way it’s written and wouldn’t take it as a fact.
review bombing
This is definitely not what review bombing even means (yes, that’s a fact).

Isn’t that exactly what lead us to the “every AAA game is an 8/10” meta of current videogame reviewing? I think it’s totally valid to make subjective game reviews. Big outlets trying to make their reviews objectives is IMHO the reason why they are totally worthless (for me).

It’s not that long ago that I played both KOTOR games for the first time and I have to agree that the game might not be that intuitive by today standards. But now after a lot of people played BG3 it might be not that hard anymore to figure this game out.

Switch Color

Today SD is actually cheaper per gb than Blu-ray.

Just checked Amazon prizes for the first best SD card and Bluray disc. This is a lie. Discs are still less than half the prize.

And you didn’t take into consideration that it’s much cheaper and faster to press the data onto the disc than writing on an SD card when you do that in great numbers.

I agree, but what are alternatives for people who want a written text?

When I’m on the balcony or visiting family for a weekend. Smartphone usually don’t come close to the quality of the games you can get on the Switch.

I think game and engine developers should do both. If it’s possible to improve efficiency and performance it should be done. But at the same time hardware is improving as well and that performance gain should be used.

I’m kinda worried a little bit about the recent development in hardware though. At the moment GPU power mostly increases with energy consumption and only a little with improved architecture. That was different some years ago. But in my eyes thats a problem the hardware manufactorera have, not the game developers.
