Given the facts in this case, aiming a firearm at the door, and pulling the trigger is legally insufficient to prove depraved mind

Thinking about dating Bobby Kotick? Don’t.

Lol that comment is weird as hell without any context. Here’s the context for anybody that hasn’t seen it.

There’s nothing “pathetic” about it. You’d have to be stupid not to take a good deal. That’s like not scoring a goal while the goalie isn’t paying attention, because you think it’d be unfair.

Solving this problem isn’t the responsibility of individuals and their “willpower”, it’s the responsibility of governments. It’s their job to regulate markets and ensure fair competition. Getting mad at some sysadmin who accepts money from Meta might make you feel better inside, but it’s not going to change anything. Do your research, write to your representatives, threaten to vote them out, and then actually show up on voting days.

A cryptic symbol with no direct meaning I am afraid

Isn’t that effectively what the floppy disk is to most computer users today?

• The original Crysis is great
• RE:7 and Village are great

The game engine is the integration point for your content. If you’re running into architectural issues that require you to start afresh, it’s probably because you haven’t figured out the requirements for your game and the type of content it requires. For example, if you’re making a Super Mario clone, then it’s pretty easy to design an engine for it since you know exactly what the game will look like at the end. Like @boaratio suggested, don’t try making a generic off the shelf engine, which is something you’ll inadvertently do if you don’t know what game you’re making.

Then spend some time learning about game engine design. The book “Game Engine Architecture” by Json Gregory is a good introduction, and probably all you’ll need. It’s kind of short and doesn’t go super deep on anything, but it does give you good perspective on everything, and is a good jumping off point for everything else. This ebook also has good content: https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/ (in particular, read the chapter on state machines)
