not exactly what you're asking, but banks and insurance companies are the majority of what I call "the beaurocracy of money". they don't produce anything of value, and are basically just a sinkhole for labour.
this feels like the most clearly I've been able to put the sentiment into words. I'm not exactly a fan of the wage slavery system we live in in general, but when continuing operations in the face of, or directly contributing to the decline of the environment, more than ever I feel like i/we shouldn't just be carrying on as...
can our brains actually learn to comprehend, to envision dimensions beyond the perceptible three? how could you describe higher dimensional shapes in a way that would allow someone to visualise them?
hoping someone familiar with both the engine and the genre of izometric ARPGs can chip in. I'm embarking on a project to create a game of this style, but I've read that GDScript, while more intuitive, and perhaps easier to learn, is "slower" than either C# or C++. since I'm truly starting from scratch and would have to learn the...
I'm trying to teach myself to use the godot engine to create a game, and god is it hard to concentrate. I don't really know how to begin, even after following the tutorial, and I'm second guessing myself constantly about what step I should take to make progress or even broaden my knowledge and understanding, and it's a constant...
the one I've found best for solo play is the kuva hind. large magazine size and relative dominance of Slash damage + high status and high (enough) crit chance means no need to burn a slot on hunter munitions, and taking innate toxin damage means using primed cryo gives viral with no need for a second mod....
Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.
I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?
The place i work in doesn't have an actual onsite manager, it's just me and my coworker. He's more physically capable, but computers are a foreign language to him; i can handle the physical work, but I'm slower than he is, but I'm much much better with computers....
Through the start of the day i was cleaning up the towering piles of loose files in my office, entering them into our system and signing them locations to be refiled to. My boss called me up and told me to stop doing that, just create him a spreadsheet showing the data on them....
