I hope the rest of the article made it clear that the outward-facing parts of an engine are just that — parts of it. Even when a game looks and feels the same, the underlying software will likely look very different from year to year because it’s changing constantly.

And you’re more than welcome to criticize that! (Personally, I loved Skyrim to death but was realllly disappointed by Fallout 4.) I’m just hoping to explain to people what an engine actually is and why there’s no reason to panic when you see headlines like “Bethesda won’t change its engine for TESVI.”

And speaking as a programmer myself, it’s extremely industry-standard to reuse code. It’s practically a sin not to. The problems that code solves rarely change; sometimes you have to rebuild something from scratch because it’s gotten messy, but that’s usually on the scale of decades, not yearly release cycles.

Can’t we please stop assuming that every time ALL OF THE WORK isn’t put into every single thing, that it’s immediately the pinnacle of laziness, or that we at least have to whine about how we’re just not getting all of the value that we wanted? I’m getting tired of it. Films re-use sets. Disney re-traced over old…

About the time your dick completely obscures both hands?

At what point, as a developer, do you stare at your hands and whisper, “what have I done?”

This seemed like a horrid idea from the moment I heard about it. Hell I think Roiland just by himself would have been better than the three of them... don’t even know who Logic is.

Oh hey, that’s my nephew Wade’s roomate. Small world. 

They could probably do a Chain Chomp reskin/“Shadow Fighter” version of Piranha Plant pretty easily.

What makes it a credible accusation? Rose didn’t buy her silence like so many others have. That always seems to imply culpability. If Rose had paid her off no one would even be talking about this. Instead, he went to court (with a much lower burden of proof than in a criminal case) and won because the jury, who heard…

You are the first person I’ve ever encountered who was upset about the changes to NMS, particularly the last update. Most people had the exact opposite emotional journey with that game.

Fortnite is in early access and they’re on Season 6. Yea, the term doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Dude, there’s some heavy “Ask Dr. Nerdlove” shit to unpack here...

I disagree, facial hair is natural, make-up is not. The equivalent would be women not shaving their arm pits, or legs, or letting their mustaches grow. Which they should be fine with too. If I don’t have to shave my face/arms/legs/pits, they shouldn’t feel the need to either. If they want to fine, but don’t make false…

To put in perspective, she lost her job a few months ago and we’re now running on fumes, we can’t even afford canned soup at the moment.

My GF never leaves home without makeup, I’m taking about NEVER.
She would spend minimum of one whole hour to put on makeup just to go to the grocery store literally 2 minutes walk away.
In fact she insist on having makeup on before she would go out to our in house communal laundry washer unit.

I can’t say I completely agree with everything he said, but I feel like your reading way to much into that guys comment.

People are weird. Pokimane is an attractive woman without makeup (though I don’t follow her, so I guess I’m not used to her with makeup on) and any comments otherwise all sound odd to me.

I can’t wait to enjoy another introspective journey across an atompunk land before being killed a naked outlaw named X_NukaCold_X that jumps out of a crate and bludgeons me to death with a bazooka and then tea bagging my corpse while commenting on my mother in way most unflattering and calling me a faggot cuck and…
