Like what else?

As I wrote in the last sentence, it was just an association.

I am playing a role 🤷

Nope I was just referencing the interview with Joe Biden where he said “the important thing is that I gave it my best. This is what this is about.”

No dude, that isn’t the point what so ever.

Where I read here that changing the engine “would be better, but that is not the point”.

Yes dude that is the point.

For me the parallel was that people could improve the process but don’t because of ego/comfort/not understanding the problem.

Wasn’t a jab at Biden just an association on my part.

Agree. The thing with realistic graphics is that it brings in soooo much complexity on a systems level that it becomes the center point everything else revolves around.

Imaging a 2d game vs a 3d game. Alone trough that you have a complete third dimension wich you have to account for.

A whole book full of new bugs are possible now.

And with realistic graphics the brain now expects the rules of the world to be realistic too.

My character looks photorealistic so, of course, the environment needs to look photorealistic too otherwise we go into uncanny valley territory.

So next thing the interaction needs to look realistic too. Think walking trough a forrest and the player character pushing leaves out of his way.

That is just to fucking much you need to test and invest time in to be flexible anymore.

The simple answer here is better art direction. Photorealism is neat but not needed.

With simpler graphics it becomes cheaper to change stuff in development so it becomes more viable to experiment with creative ideas.

You can have more diverse assets because they are, potentially, cheaper/less time consuming to make and they don’t take as much space.

Like 1 photorealistic tree needs as much discspace as 2 trees with half the polygons.

In the and gaming has become a business and people got involved that don’t play games.

For them it is just an investment and no different to a car or a garden hose. And for those people the only viable way to solve a problem is to trow money at it.

Which worked but only for making things grander not making it more interesting. For that you need people that solve problems with creativity.

And you get people who solve problems with creativity when there is less money because you have no other choice but to solve it like that.

That is clearly not the whole picture but a part of it IMHO.

I think at this point, if you are a gaming enthusiasts and are informed about the “scene” there is just no reason to buy AAA(AAAAAAA) games anymore.

And also no need to be angry about it. Just ignore them and talk about the indies that made a change. It is more productive to have that dominate the conversation than what sucks.

Because talking about shit is still advertisement for shit.

Yepp it’s about Biden doing his best. That is what this is about.

For some people it is a once in a lifetime.

Damn, bear life seems tough.

I believe revolt is self hosted so everyone can make their own bar.

So let’s brainstorm how we can exploit that to get his money and/or break the the process.

Lemmy, friends, YouTube, websearch.

Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler

In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let’s say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:

cd user/rust/projects/example1

Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called “cargo” the command to compile is “build”.

So with that information I type:

cargo build

While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:

user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod

Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.

People gave Starfield shit for all of the loading screens during travel. Now OP is complaining about them finding ways to make it more immersive. The gaming community is ridiculous.

xD great you used the word “community” so what?

You are saying that “people” said one thing then “OP” said something different and that makes the gaming community ridiculous?

And after pointing out that this makes no sense because you still treat it as two different opinions coming from the same entity, you counter with “thats why I used the word community.”? That makes even less sense xD

The irony telling me to pay more attention.

You are ridiculous :D Lay of the weed maybe then you can formulate a cohesive thought.

Thanks for the laugh :D

Alternatively:

Dictatorship does dictator shit.

It is more that the people who act like these opinions come from the same person are ridiculous.

“You say your favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry but yesterday someone else said his favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla. Humans are ridiculous!”

Yeah they need to get rid of that cokehead.

Jesus fucking Christ, why is everything a war? Its so fucking exhausting.

I propose you contribute to Foss software that you use.

With that you are motivated because you are invested in the project, you will see the effect of your work and you learn about the process of contributing and working in a team.

That should keep you going for a while. Best of luck.

We do.

Improve the netcode, put it on steam and it will be fine.
