As someone who works with both, readability is the utmost important thing for me, and XML is cumbersome and has more characters to sift through to find what I’m lookin for.

They do, but less than when it fucked them over. And only at the terminal in restaurant.

The McDonalds thing was simple. 90 cent burger, minus cheese, was -10 cents. Or something along that way. Basically the “hold the cheese” value was fixed but they forgot some items with cheese are piss cheap.

When you realize 90% of programming is reading, then you’ll end up embarking on a journey to make code more readable. At some point you fall in love with ligatures.

I put all those in different files

compont/functions/foo.ext etc.

It still works. is_this_thing_some_thingy. Is is just a prefix for if the suffix returns true/false.

This is one solution to the issue, and it seems silly you are being downvoted for it.

Google became what it became, and years of seo optimisation cat & mouse play has reached new heights. Those obviously target Google instead of their competitors for now.

Would that we could have perfect search results, it would be beneficial to google as well.

Just remove the fullstack part. If there are any senior developers going through the CVs, that’s an immediate red flag.

Why? The “stack” has grown so large, that when a dev claims to be fullstack, you know he either doesn’t understand enough to know he cannot be a fullstack developer, or he does, and isn’t really good at anything, because there’s just too much to know these days.

You aren’t paying 16.99/mo, please edit your post because it’s confusing some people.

21€ is like 3 beers in a bar where I live, or two packs of smokes. One delivery of fast food to your doorstep.

For me, no ads on an app I use a few hours a week, so say a few hundred hours a year, especially an app of this quality? Easy purchase.

I did not mean that in a hostile way. I asked because you kept replying to my comments, but disregarding their content while telling me to stop talking.

Based on the vote ratio, other people got the point just fine and didn’t feel like they needed to tell me to be silent or scroll back up.

Sorry if it felt hostile.

Since Microsoft’s parity issues, I decided to buy Divinity Original Sin 2 to support Larian. I like the stand they made (as opposed to how CDPR did with Cyberpunk), and figured they deserve the cash.

While the graphics could be better, and that it’s at times difficult to focus on such a dialogue heavy game, I noticed that I’ve already spent 20 hours with it and have barely escaped what could be called the tutorial area (fort joy).

I love it. I’m playing 4 custom characters, all necromancers, two melee oriented, two ranged, and it’s a total crap fest of a party, but I’m making it work real well.

Are you really not comprehending what I said? To re-iterate: the cost-to-returns ratio to spend man hours for certain features is not feasible because of how much time would need to be spent. This, at worst means some titles will simply not have feature X, and at average means the “worst first” development method means some games will just be worse, than they could have been, if it were merely X, PS5 and PC to consider.

I think we agree that MS bungled their approach and overestimated that cloud powered gaming would take off. But the reality of it is that S has become a thing that holds down game development, and like with BG3, gives sony pseudo exclusivity on consoles. It’s also likely what caused 343 to never ship couch-coop on Halo. It worked to some extent, but simply wasn’t worth the hours to finish for S.

Sooner or later MS has to tackle the issue somehow, and if I had to guess, they’ll rather push for a 0.5 gen jump instead of just screwing with people who bought S.

It’s easier to say a game is “newest gen optimized” than to backtrack on their promise.

If you are talking about something completely different, then no worries, carry on. This was merely my 2 cents on the topic.

You still don’t seem to comprehend what I said. Hint: not about blowback.

Day one releases on PC and Xbox, and coming later on PS5 is quite a bit different to day one on PS5, year later on PC and never on Xbox.

There’s bad, and then there’s “you’ll never play this unless you buy our console”

S is required if you want to release a game on X. This means you cannot leverage the technical maximum of X, ever, because the game and all it’s features must run on S.

Why do you think Halo never got split screen 💁‍♂️

A dev team is more likely to axe Xbox release or features. So because S won’t have enough memory/gpu grunt, X won’t be getting that feature either.
