Posted this in a comment on @Tipa's amazing blog ( https://chasingdings.com/ ) but wanted to throw it out to the world in general

"Between you & @scopique I’m kind of feeling that love of coding starting to maybe return.

I really miss back when I just LOVED to code. Not sure when/how I lost it, but I suspect a lot of it has to do with my job now being 100% fixing things and never building anything new. But I can build new stuff on my own time, for me!"

@Nimgimli @Tipa Gawd yeah. I learned that 'get a job doing what you love and you'll never 'work' another day in your life' was complete BS when I got a job as a developer. I didn't end up hating development, just having to do it for other people with other people's rules.

I still love doing development for myself, but some days, after work, I don't want to SEE any more code...because of the job, not the activity.

What the hell... why are PTU AND EPTU present in my download??

I was under the impression that you had to have special permissions for that...

@Plus_Ultra I think it’s been open to all since…last week, maybe?

Sad to hear this news about Microsoft closing down 4 studios, in particular Tango Gameworks. I really enjoyed Ghostwire Tokyo and thought that Hi-Fi Rush was pretty well received.

I get that companies exist to fatten up their coffers and those of their shareholders but this is Microsoft... I can't imagine the cost of these studios was moving the needle all that much.

Or maybe that's just sour grapes on my part.

@scopique@gamepad.club avatar

@Nimgimli Nah, not just you. I feel like this is more of a "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" and then cut it when it doesn't make AAA money (or even AA money, maybe A money).

Meanwhile, players get invested in a lot of cases, and now they get shafted. Like how Paradox crapped all over Star Trek: Infinite for no good reason. Perfectly good implementation; lost support in under a year after release. Why? They don't seem to care much.

Developing Without Breaks

I've coded myself into a corner on account of trying to bring too many new-to-me systems on-line all at the same time.

@massivelyop ESO offers housing, so I think I'm going to go with that.

So...we're getting a Medical Ursa Rover?

At the very least, that doesn't look like a normal URSA interior:

I was supposed to be a good boi and not purchase much this month...fucks sake.

Do I NEED an ambulance? NO
Do I WANT an ambulance? OF CORPSE.

I know I know, it's redundant having a C8R, but still...

@Plus_Ultra I am waiting for opportunities to really USE ground vehicles. I mean, we CAN, of course, but I think the new mapping systems will help some. It's kind of hard to drive anywhere with the ground being what it is.

scopique,
@scopique@gamepad.club avatar

@Plus_Ultra True, true...

I saw someone, somewhere mention the other day that what SC needs is a primary-city-sized zone, but fully realized a la GTA that we can drive around and walk around.

That would blow the doors off absolutely everything else, IMO.

scopique,
@scopique@gamepad.club avatar

@Plus_Ultra I think that would open the door to all kinds of QOL features like spreading out living spaces and even multiple landing zones to take the heat off of central locations.

Hell, let people rent property and open storefronts. Persistent shops with custom content. Bad sections of town for PvP. Mission opportunities.

TIL that Paradox had disowned Star Trek: Infinite about 7 months after release. No more updates, no DLC.

So I guess it's back to mods for Stellaris.

3.23 wipe confirmed on SCL today. aUEC and rented ships were mentioned specifically.

100% expected this. They explained that it's for their analytics regarding their changed economy, which is obvious and was fully expected but there we go!

@massivelyop Hell no. That's the ONLY reason I play them; I turn off or turn down survival aspects if I can.

I now have a permanent set up for my flight sticks, although I moved my 32 inch monitor to that side and I’m now using an old 24 inch monitor is my main, so that will be the next upgrade
