what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I’d think tf2 would be one.

nah, one is never to old to learn stuff.

a tough, but hands-on start would be something like https://www.theodinproject.com/

it’s a free course for web development and their material is really good, so even if you don’t finish it you’ll aquire some good fundamentals about programming.

sadly that does not match your language preferences, but a lot of knowledge tends to transfer or helps to understand different approaches.

you could also try a course like Introduction to CS and Programming or other university/college courses. they are meant for people who start without programming experience.

agpl does not “steal” sales, but i have to give my users the source code under a gpl compatible license, that includes that they redistirbute the code however they see fit.

that scares many people, but i guess they forget that your game is more than code and the license does not cover assets

sometimes i like that a lot of my work is typical enterprise stuff. nothing gets to prod without some poor soul working through a huge test catalogue on a seperate environment and/or a higher up signs off on it.

it’s also annoying because, you cant “just ship” a small fix or change without someone signing off on it.

sure, if the limitting factor in a case like this would be the speed of computation and not slow IO than implementing the computation in another language would be a viable way to increase performance.

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.

maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.

i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.

so is dracut and weston.

i think that naming software after towns in Massachusetts is somekind of red hat in-joke.

technicaly correct, and i am no lawyer, but i can’t see how in the world i owe anyone a warranty that loads code on their machines, compiles it and uses it, all without any input by me.

everything that i intend to be more than throw away code, that lives for whatever reason in a public repo gets either an MIT or an gplv3 license.

nah, than ibm will annoy you, that they need a special license that allows them to be a dick while using your code.

just like they asked the JSLint guys to use JSLint for evil.

code that needs a license, but i really don’t care what you do with it gets a wftpl.

multi-player. BG3 allows you to play the entire game with up to 4 people.

Good book.

Does progressive muscle relaxation count as meditation?

If so: yes, but not as a constant part of my daily routine, more like something i start using again during stressful times or if i find myself rummaging through negative thoughts a lot.

This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.

They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.

Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.

*Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!

Fyi: Libre Office is the actively developed Open Office fork.

Don’t know how it stacks up to MS Office though.

En Garde! Nice indie game, with a combat system simmiliar to sekiro, but very lighthearted presentation. Also started paradise killer. Definitely interesting, but not sure if it’s a game for me

Not to aware of how c# works, or interested in defending java, especially ancient java versions, but what does it do better in that regard?

Only records for more or less pure data objects come to mind, but those are also in modern Java.

Access control and offering a sound interface.

You don’t need getters and setters if every attribute is public, but you might want to make sure attributes are accessed in a specific way or a change to an object has to trigger something, or the change has to wait until the object is done with something. Java just has tools to enforce a user of your objects to access its attributes through the methods you designed for that. It’s a safeguard against unintended side effects, to only open up inner workings of a class as littles as necessary.

In a language without something like private attributes you’d have to account for far more ways someone might mutate the state of objects created by your code, it opens you up to far more possible mistakes.
