Disappear.
As legacy goes, a bunch of solid games isn't bad, but since the earliest days, back when indie wasn't even indie, when it was called home-brew/made, the scene has been full of solid works. Yet it has been about excellence. I would want to be remembered for excellence, not merely solid.
Nice way to conflate two different subjects with a sweet condescending tone.
Odd, my last post appears to have a link attached, but I didn't post any link. o.O
I think too much is expected of it. People seem to want it to be a flawless super human programming poet and to not get anything wrong as it cranks out entire features from short prompts. Think of it instead as a flexible code navigation and refactoring tool with a novel interface, then it has uses
In computing, binary 1 does not mean "true", it just means "1". Compilers typically evaluate non-zero as true, but most enumerated functions treat 0 as true. O.S program return codes treat 0 as true/success.
Boolean is a semantic imposed on to binary, but binary is not boolean.
Real life is a fun game, immersive audio and graphics and stuff, but for several seasons now its had low poly cars, and I still can't get used to seeing them...
Imagine you are hiring a contractor to solve the problem. Write / type it up such that you could hand it off to them. They don't know your game or code. By the time you are done, you'll have explained it well enough to have solved it.
If not, you have more context to share.
For a long time now, I have been asking LLM to review my code, ignoring false positives, and using it to catch what I miss. Can't trust it to write code. I have agreed with your stance. Tried GPT 5.3-codex last week... not sure how much I still doubt the machine.
He originally auditioned to play Riker.
What bakes my noodle a bit, is that he was raised in Romulus (New York).
That's not just an opinion, it's the new normal.
Always having something to watch without the clutter is the convenience that sells you on the service. I'm no exception, I pay for services too, making me part of the problem. I just don't want to be happy or content with it.
I think you're missing my point. I'm a software dev too.
For your secure network with failover, you've had to buy hardware, install and configure what pfSense or similar? And you admin it, updates, config changes... Most people don't know how, and even you shouldn't have to do this just to watch TV
Not locked in? In what way?
Re-watch your favorite shows after cancelling the subscription. No? Then you're locked in.
Buy it on DVD, pay once, watch forever (or until the disk wears out), no recurring payment, and no one can take it away by flipping a switch on you.
It used to be this way.
Buy t.v, plug in, get channels, remote works, not spying on you. Ads paid for content, or else you pay premium for Ad free channels.
It never crashed, never needed updates, and just worked.
The word "just" is carrying a lot there. Buy additional hardware and become a network admin, to block what shouldn't be there to begin with, to use a device that should just work, without even trying to collect data on you, to watch a service that should be either premium OR have ads, but not both.
Next thing you'll learn is just how much information about your viewing habbits, and affordability based on subscriptions, its beaming out about you... you know, so that both online and physical stores can dynamically adjust prices trying to max you out. That's probably why its slow.
As brush stokes are to a painter, programming is to a programmer.
Programming by its self is not art, it is technique for a digital medium. What you do with it is the art. The program is the piece, the computer a canvas, the code the "brush stokes."
Expression is art, programming is expressive.
Completed this on ps3 sometime last year. Player control lacks precision but that adds to the challenge. Persistence is key.
I have stared into the abyss and the abyss blinked first.
I got sick and spent the last two weeks binge watching T.V in bed. Did I miss anything?!
Dad had a Ford Cortina mk V (82) and something called a Capri
(From memory, I was a Baby)

So funny.
I just started learning to make character models in blender.
I need male characters, but all the tutorials teach making "Hot" anime girls. I even worry that onlookers would think me doing something naughty, or, possibly that I don't know what breasts really look like?
Yup, reality has the best graphics, the best sound effects, the deepest immersion and the richest story lines - but, its just too damned grindy! Seriously, the progression isn't balanced at all, and its rife with gankers.
I was just thinking of Frontier (yt searched the intro)

I could hum each of their theme tunes too.
Always these three, no one ever seems to remembers Auto Man.
Knight Rider, Airwolf, A-Team.
I wonder what the monthly subscription is on that software.
Note 5 years max, depending on device and conditions, could be only weeks.
The ssd is the problem. Let the power run out and your books have at most about 5 years to live. If its thick as a book, consider 2.5" of spinning rust, you don't need ssd performance for text.
Feeling the burn.
I'm heavily invested into a deeply technical programming project. I've considered abandoning it repeatedly, in favor of more engaging "quick win" projects, but I keep getting drawn back by a desire to persist.
The anguish is real.
