  • join a game company as a junior. Hate every bit of it and then realize you’re better off doing something else.

    Or skip all of that and pick something you are somewhat familiar with today.

    If you’re still reading that means you want to continue on this treacherous path. Fine, fastest way to start i guess is playtesting but with companies asking customers to do that for them… the role is kind of lacking at the moment.

    best you can do in your free time is start with trying out every aspect of game design upto a beginner level: learn basic coding in a specific language like python. learn to make simple text based adventures and fill-in-the-blank puzzles.






  • Disclaimer: Below is my weird effort to step in the shoes of an insecure person who attacks change and holds on to their ways as a means to maintain their appearance of superiority:

    The rust hate of this flavour feels more like its about shitting on “the left” and progressive ideas than about any kind of programming language intricacies.

    My reason for saying this is the reference to Lunduke, and then in an issue tracker where it is very easy and painfully obvious that its a dependency mismatch due to updates talking about “culture” as if breakages like this don’t happen daily.

    Rust is a community grown language that is inclusive. Which seems to irk conservatives who hate any kind of inclusivity or changing what’s cool and hip. C programming seems to be the unfortunate oasis that is corrupted and repurposed for enforcing delusions of grandeur and superiority complexes.

    Rust is the first popular answer to memory problems in C which the supposed “elite hacker 10x” privileged types were using as a yard stick to “other” supposedly “mediocre” engineers. Any yard stick can be used to beat people they don’t consider in their in-group.


  • I feel like it is not wise to discard the opinion of a layperson with this reasoning. Sure experts have been working on it as their day job vs. Us just looking at the fruits of their labour. But that doesn’t justify the assumption that they are infallible. Don’t you agree in our own areas of supposed expertise we are often corrected or get inspiration from supposed laymen simply because we have been too myopic about solving the problem ahead of us?



  • brother you’re using the wrong thing. First of all you are using crypto that’s going to give you some memecoins that are obviously going to collide after 55 hours as what are you even doing not rugpulling the thing day 2?

    Second of all, I am pretty sure you should use “RandomUUIDIToldYouSo” module for non-colliding hashes. We all know THAT thing gets its Noise from our parents’ instructions on doing a specific thing that keep changing arbitrarily every time you ask.
