But I literally can't do anything else but fall. It's like my body is heavier than theirs. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3061 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── every time I read a subtoot I assume it's about me and I mentally curl up into a ball doesn't matter if it's totally irrelevant, if there's no target specified it defaults to me because... like, who else is there right? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3062 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-570 yes you could certainly use a database for that, but databases are significantly more complex. For a game, yeah a database is a good idea. especially if it's a multiplayer game. For a script or small program, use small files to store data. I personally like the idea of "plain-text" files because it allows your users to modify them if need be, while databases tend to be more locked down. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3063 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-570 true. the "massively multiplayer" aspect of WoW is about as important to the game as the "A" is in "ARPG". I can't help but feel like the "impromptu groups" functionality feels a bit better than matchmaker instancing... though anything worth running a group for in WoW after TBC was instanced >.> Honestly I think there's just too many games these days for people to really get "into" MMORPGs, unless they're sufficiently unique in their mechanics (like EVE or Runescape) any ARPG MMOs are dead on launch, as you said. That design space is tapped out, at least for now, until someone comes along and makes it a deckbuilding roguelike or whatever. cough cough ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3064 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-570 @user-246 you know you two could have spared yourselves all this trouble if you just ScReEnShOtTeD the code! Then it'd be easy to see with your very not-visually-impaired eyeballs on your graphical user interface, considering of course that everyone has perfectly functional eyeballs and perfectly visual graphical user interfaces /s of course ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3065 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: complaining-about-tech │ └────────────────────────────┘ I feel like if I wanted to keep every single one of my games playable I'd have to boot them up at least once every 3 months or so. That's EXHAUSTING. Linux is supposed to "just work" - so why does everything break every time you run an update? WHY can't I just... maintain a copy of old software if it's still in use? Or like, include all the installation steps that check for dependencies (and install them if necessary) into the "launch game" script? Backwards compatibility for a single season ago is apparently too much. I've written a few scripts for it but you can only do so much when the game files aren't on github -.- ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ |
