Semi ironic username :) But I agree with you. Advice from people who is facing death can be overly dramatic and cause serious harm for people and environment. It's not sustainable to live like today is your last for 70+ years. It's not sustainable for all the interpersonal drama you will cause. And burning through resources to gain max experience will also tax the environment greatly.
"But every indie developer I've talked to about game engine development acts like it's a dark art. That it's just impossible for mere mortals to do such a thing, and if you do, then you'll never ever release a game, or you'll spend literal years on the engine. Again, I predict a couple weeks."
It's a can of worms to make a game engine for multiple platforms.
When I see Ig it reminds me of grade we had in school LG, "lite godt" (that would translate to a grade D I think). Ig looks like LG written in small caps.
We are heading into feudalism. A few people hoard all the properties, companies and services. Antitrust laws are ignored, corruption is the norm. Student loans, medical bills and mortgage cripple common people without possibility to pay them off. People become economic vassals
The ASCII character set standardization and subsequent keyboards has had a huge impact on programming languages. Characters not found on a standard keyboard are hardly ever used. And if thy are, it cause lots of issues, because they are so hard to type.
I hope we get cheap reconfigurable keyboards with oled key caps in the near future. It could revitalize programming language design using a more powerful syntax with symbols etc.
I had several games back then that where "copies" from other people. But many of these games where unplayable because without the manual you had a really hard time to figure out what to do. It was common for complex games to have thick manuals and virtually no in game help or tutorials.
And there where no internet to search for answers.
I hope we can keep companies like original Spotify around, where I can find almost all the music I want to listen to. I wish companies could keep a limited scope for their offerings and just be really good at just that.
Spotify's focus on pod cast is kind of crap. It's like TV eras cheap production value reality shows from late 1990ths all over.
I guess the capitalist mantra of perpetual growth is leading them down another path.
Netflix used to be my go to site for film, now there are so many to streaming services choose from I don't know where to start. And they mainly focus on making series, which I'm not a big fan of.
Looks like Spotify will follow the money and hollow out their original service to be another junk site for vapid entertainment and easy money.
There must be a balance point between greed and control vs letting people enjoy your work. I understand the need for artists to earn a living, but being to restrictive will paint you in to a corner.
In a way she is doing the same to her music as she did to her self; hiding it away from public view
Small streams are great when you want to interact with chat and the streamer.
Once a stream grows bigger than a couple hundred viewers, interaction suffers and the stream becomes something else.
Bigger streamers are more like watching regular TV where you just passively watch.
