They also granted the head of Unit 731 immunity (specifically from the USSR who rightly wanted him executed) in exchange for the human experimentation data.

“Experimentation” data that was entirely useless, if I remember correctly.

I do it all the time. The deeper the gameplay (and the more I like it), the higher the chances that I won’t finish it

As far as I know they can all act as a bootleg external wifi adapter though (via USB sharing)

C++ is home sick, currently the doctor (compiler) is not sure whether it’s got the flu or a terminal cancer.

Yeah first though when I looked at this was “wait isn’t this literally the sex couch ?”

hbomberguy’s video essays on games are some of the best content on YouTube

More games video essayists I like : Noah Caldwell-Gervais, Joseph Anderson, eurothug4000, GiantGrantGames (mostly RTS games and challenge runs of said games, but he has a great voice and his reviews are interesting), Mandaloregaming (not longform, but good editing and analysis).

Edgelord special mention : SsethTzeentach. I do think he definitely gets too edgy at times, though it is sometimes funny, but he does talk about some very obscure games sometimes and highlights what makes them original/interesting

I’m having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it’s worth the 2h attempt. For the power fantasy part : get good at polearms and riding, get yourself a glaive, optionally download the mod that allows you to hit several enemies with a single swing and mow down lines of infantry with each charge.

Also, blizzard bad but Diablo is fun

You could even do that on the player’s model specifically. But it’s still a maybe, you’re almost guaranteed to get some cursed bugs due to every preexisting code having been made with right handedness in mind.

I’m sure animators are internally screaming at the reasons why this will make some originally right handed animations look off but that’s not my area of expertise.

In reality it’s probably not the hardest thing to do gameplay-wise, especially if you’re doing it from the very beginning of the project, but I don’t think you can simply mirror animations (and some animations-related logic) and have it look natural, so you’d have to make dedicated animations and possibly logic for left hand strikes, right hand blocks etc. which would obviously be much more expensive. But yeah that’s probably what Minecraft does now for example, and since they have a very low level of detail on player characters and their animations it looks alright.

As a gameplay programmer, I got anxiety from reading this (and I think the animators are already in a fetal position on the floor)

CMS is arguably worse than AZERTY. Or maybe l’m just too used to AZERTY…

French here, after having to buy a Canadian laptop I can confirm I didn’t go back to the french layout. Also the “english (Canada)” locale usually has sane regionalization options (like DD/MM date and distance in meters or kilometers, celsius temperature…) compared to the other English ones

Yeah I’m not asking questions about the technical stuff I’m actually interested in to an HR drone

That solution sounds like a no brainer. I assume it’s easier said than done (and maintained) ?

A church ?

I legit swore off the entire OS when one of my teachers forced us to use macOS + X code to write Objective C code

Agree. I used a ton of different IDEs too and I can say Rider was the least terrible one I’ve used professionally (mostly on Unreal Engine projects, so having the thing not kill itself when trying to compute large, complex codebases for syntax highlighting/autocomplete was a requirement).

I thought government grants would make up a big portion of their income, but according to Wikipedia, 98% of the money they received in 2019 was from donations.

So, yeah, it sounds like they really know how to get people to donate

Shithole country

It is. By him, to avoid facing the fact that he either lied through his teeth to get elected, or is a living proof that conservative people have brain problems
