StackOverflow has lost 77% of new questions compared to 2022. Lowest # since May 2009. in c/[email protected]

I've never even dared to make an account there to ask questions because they've always been toxic as fuck. And lately they've been going about pivoting to AI, after they sorta monopolized the "business" of answering questions on several subjects... They can go eat my ass with that shit and attitude.

How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got pretty much the same opinion as you, probably a bit angrier about all the shit they did, with Unreal Tournament, their store and spyware and exclusives, and their unoptimized bloated game engine taking over the industry.

So no, I guess I don't claim those games or have an account. I already have a million games I'll never finish playing on Steam and emulators anyway.

Oh I love this one. It introduced me to Casiopea and they're a PHENOMENAL band. Which sent me into a hole of finding more stuff like that, and now I love J-Jazz.

Tough Decisions in c/[email protected]

I hate that feeling of bouncing between things, or of just staring at my screen so much. So much. But when it happens, I am rarely able to snap out of it in the moment. It usually takes a few days and a mood change to fix it.

Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation in c/[email protected]

And that, too, isn't new. It's been done since at least the Spellforce series, or Dawn of War 2.

If you want to see what an "innovated" RTS looks like, check out Beyond All Reason. The base formula is Total Annihilation, but with nearly 30 years of player driven improvements and QoL. That game's UX is extremely smart, and you can keybind or automate so many things on the fly, freeing you up to make strategic and tactical level decisions , instead of spamclicking for micro. Which, you can also do if you want to.
