How are you doing financially?
  • In short: not well. I've had to spend my savings too often because I usually make barely enough to live, and can't often dedicate anything to savings. Whenever I want to purchase something fun, like a new game, I always wait for the next paycheck, and to make sure that I still have at least double of whatever I want costs. Most of the time it works pretty well, except for those emergencies that happen.

  • If you could only have one book to read, from now onwards, what book would it be, and why?
  • Probably The Lord of the Rings. I read the entire thing almost ten years ago, and only remember bits and pieces. It's so long that I could definitely read it multiple times and still learn new information every time I read it.

  • Why do you still hate Windows?
    1. The joy of "figuring it out" and customizing everything you want to the minutest details

    Customization is my reason. I've got a two-monitor setup in KDE with different panels on each one. Each one is highly customized specifically to me, and the customizations can't be done in Windows.

  • Implementing triggered abilities
  • It's hard to give advice about how code should be structured, since there's many ways of accomplishing the same things, but you're doing the right thing by thinking about scalability before you get too deep to change it.

    You could try separating eacg trigger condition into their own functions, so that if an OnAttack gets triggered it will only check and loop through OnAttack abilities.

    Something like:

    OnAttack.connect( CheckOnAttack )
    OnDamaged.connect( CheckOnDamaged )
    
    func CheckOnAttack( ATTACK_TYPE ):
              match ATTACK_TYPE:
                      ....
    
    func CheckOnDamaged( DAMAGE_TYPE ):
             match DAMAGE_TYPE:
                      ....
    
  • What do companies get out of rewards programs
  • Because if you have a Kroger's card you're going to want to shop there more often to get the free stuff. You're not paranoid, it is a psychological tactic to get you to spend more money. Casinos do similar things.

  • [Game] New poster for Star Wars Outlaws
  • I have no idea what you're on about. It looks like the movie posters; all the main characters are displayed, someone's firing a weapon, there are spaceship fighters off to the side in the background.

  • New to Linux—Epic Games compatibility? (Plus more)
  • I've had good experiences launching games from Epic on the Heroic Games Launcher. Most games that don't have extreme anti-cheats should just work. If compatibility is an issue, you can install Linux as a dual-boot option, so you could switch to Windows for certain games.

  • Name ideas for my game
  • "Hijinks" makes me think of exactly the kind of casual mess-with-your-friends gameplay that can happen with Nintendo games. I like it.

    As a side note, I'm curious to see how the game turns out. Nintendo Land was the only game I've played on the Wii U that made proper use of the game pad, and the ghost mansion was my favorite minigame.
