By at some point saying ‘OK, enough side quests, let’s move on with the story’. I plan to replay this game multiple times, so I do not mind missing some side quests in my first playthrough.

See Heise for example, they have their own instance for their news posts. It’s great.

Australia is part of Oceania ;)

Yup. The only time I pirate a game nowadays is when I can’t get it on steam for the 2 hour refund as a demo.

I mean the whole point that xboxers were making when the ps5 was released was ‘but gamepass!’. Now that ps also has their ‘game subscription’, I do not really see the appeal of an xbox, especially if you also own a pc. PS has exclusives, xbox does not - at least not ones I’d be interested in and couldn’t play on PC.

If you think a block of code needs a comment, turn it into a method and give it a proper name instead.

Really depends. Yes, if someone doesn’t get what’s wrong with this statement, they should. But you shouldn’t wrap something in a method all the time just because. Sure, maybe you can make it an inline method, but usually, a method call takes time, and while it’s not a lot of time, in constrained or complex system that can accumulate. A lot. Sure, the compiler might optimize stuff away, but don’t just go blindly trusting your compiler.

Sure, a method call for something that gets called once a second is not a problem. But when you suddenly have thousands and thousands of method calls when say, you click a button, which calls method x which calls method x1 which calls y1 and y2 which call z1-10 and so on, then the method calls can suddenly turn into a problem.

Maybe not on a fast, modern device, but on an older or more constrained device. If your code never runs on there, sure, don’t bother.

Your phone can play music just like an mp3 player can.

Your phone doesn’t have an e-ink screen.

That’s the whole reason.
