  • Oh no, a sales platform that takes a cut of revenue.

    Valve isn’t a charity, and they provide very good services for what developers pay.

    Devs don’t need to host download servers, they don’t need to staff customer service reps, they don’t have to set up banking infrastructure or worry at all about handling payments from hundreds of different banks across hundreds of countries.

    It’s not like valve takes 30% and sits on it. They put that money to use.




  • I used to be good at games.

    And then I got older, and now I have a job, and a family, and don’t take Ritalin recreationally.

    I can’t keep up with the teenagers who spend 6 hours after school everyday playing, and that’s okay. I just play games that cater more to my time.

    Last time I played call of duty I just alt-F4d and refunded after some guy kept zooming around the map and mowing me down with some busted SMG. Those games just aren’t for me anymore.




  • A rocket is not fundamentally new and hasn’t been for almost 100 years.

    Rockets perform correctly when they deliver their payload to the correct orbit.

    You can calculate the energy density of fuels, the efficiency of your engines at various atmospheric pressures, and determine the payload size you can deliver with your engines and fuel. Blowing up rockets for “tests” is so 1950s. We have whole college programs on rocket design. We have desktop computers more powerful than anything available in the 1960s, and NASA managed to design the Saturn V, a rocket of similar size to starship, with the computers of the time and fucking slide rules. The Saturn V had its problem, but each rocket managed to deliver its payload and perform its part of the mission without blowing up.

    Your comment is classic tech bro. No understanding of real engineering principles and only a desire to shove some shit out of the door as fast as possible.






  • I remember the ancient microwave we used to have.

    No rotating plate, just a box with a knob on it.

    Your food will cook for somewhere between 3 and 7 minutes. It will be unevenly heated. You will enjoy the aroma of 20 years of popcorn being blown out of the side.

    Enjoy your half frozen leftovers, and kneel before the unkillable microwave.






  • I refuse to look into any project that is hosted via discord, or only offers documentation/support through discord.

    Discord is a chat and voip client.

    It is not a fire sharing website.

    It is not a forum.

    I am not going to search through 30 different chat channels and thousands of millions of messages to find the solution to an issue I’m having. I am not going to message people and wait for a reply on a subject that should be on a wiki.
