Why? saving money for the company, as always

No dude, two thirds of my office commutes in by bike. I’m just in decent shape and cycling at a reasonable pace doesn’t make me break a sweat. For most people in decent shape it doesn’t make you sweat more than walking.

Phoenix is not a great example of how we should design cities. Putting a city in a desert is a bad idea from the outset.

Pretty much no one parks their bikes inside in the Nerherlands, I’m guessing that’s a climate thing. It takes like half a square meter outside.

I ride a bike to work every day. I’m never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won’t get run over by cars.

He made the games worse, but that doesn’t mean he made them less profitable. Those are sadly distinct goals. The CEO does not have an incentive to make good art.

If you get it, purge and update your cache. It still works.

I think it’s also that the more you talk about and involve yourself in politics the more you get radicalized, it works both ways

Russia uses cluster bombs too though? Cluster bombs are bad because unexploded munitions are a lot like mines. The fighting is happening in Ukraine, not in Russia, and Ukraine is already littered with mines and unexploded munitions because of Russia’s use of both from the start of the war.

It’s fine if you disagree with their design philosophy. They don’t want 8 extra plants made by an intern in their game though and that’s their prerogative.

I wish they would go back and do something with the mobs they did add that add nothing. We definitely do not need more of them.

Apart from a period where Mojang added useless creatures like the polar bear, it’s not comparable. The vast majority of things Mojang adds, they try to add a unique slant that makes the addition relevant in some way. Mo Creatures mobs are almost all useless apart from looking different. The sniffer has unique mechanics, adding 500 plants would not make it any more mechanically interesting. They’re not looking to drown the game in retextures.

Look at the Netherlands for a good example then. Private schools aren’t banned but public schools are so good even the princesses go to them. You’re just so used to public schools being underfunded that you think they can’t work. The reason you’d want to ban private schools is because it creates an incentive for the rich and powerful to fix your shitty public schools.

As someone in the industry I feel the opposite. A lot of features that are almost finished but cut despite being integral to the experience come from higher up pressure. The expectation to always overwork leaves no room to commit a little bit extra when it’s necessary because you’re always drained to begin with. There is also no room for creativity, playing around, or polish, because the deadlines are based on the bare minimum that will sell.

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

I’m so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

It is difficult though. Godot has been in development since 2007. It was not FOSS until 2014. It is still way behind Unity and Unreal Engine in many ways, which have been around since 2004 and 1995 respectively.
