RIP Black Box Games

(I’m a NFS fan but also a fan of Black Box)

The way I did it is by trying to solve more and more advanced problems with simpler tools/features, then looking at more advanced features and seeing where they could be applied to make the problem solving simpler. Rinse and repeat.

An easy example that I can remember is making arrays that dynamically expand. I started with the barebones malloc and worked out how to use std::vector (and other list types) in its place.

Understanding that concept is, what I believe, to be the foundation of learning programming.

I’m no pro whatsoever, but using this method really helps me pick up and learn new languages.

Oh you mean Android Studio automagically “updating” your versions so that your build breaks and you spent 3 hours figuring out what just happened without you even touching anything?

Yeah I meant don’t use joycons lol

Pro Controller at the very least. CTR is a game that should be played with a dpad for steering. You can use the analog inputs but some more advanced tricks (such as tight steering) will require a solid dpad.

I’d recommend getting a proper controller for it. CTR is a dpad and shoulder button masher.

Any Black Box made Need for Speed.

(Currently busy fixing Pro Street, so many bugs…)

C++ is at least backwards compatible (for 99% of code anyway, yes I know about some features being removed, but that’s an exception and not the rule).

To top it off, what matters at the end of the day js this - people generally don’t care about graphics anymore!

Even if you end up with graphics that are worse than a console, you still have:

• an option to upgrade later
• options to configure graphics (generally games actually optimize themselves pretty well nowadays)
• an open platform to do things the way you want

PS5 Pro makes absolutely no sense to me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It’s just their ego showing through.

It basically now comes down to the current devs depending on new Rust devs for anything that interacts with Rust code.

They could just work together with Rust devs to solve any issues (API for example).

But their ego doesn’t allow for it. They want to do everything by themselves because that’s how it always was (up until now).

Sure, you could say it’s more efficient to work on things alone for some people, and I’d agree here, but realistically that’s not going to matter because the most interactivity that exists (at the moment) between Rust and C in Linux is… the API. Something that they touch up on once in a while. Once it’s solid enough, they don’t have to touch it anymore at all.

This is a completely new challenge that the Linux devs are facing now after a new language has been introduced. It was tried before, but now it’s been approved. The only person they should be mad at is Linus, not the Rust devs.

Yeah enabling remote debugging because the dev thought it made it easier is a pretty big oof.

But this is just strike one. It’s a one man show, after all, so cutting them some slack is warranted when it comes to this specific topic.

Nevertheless, your concerns aren’t unfounded. This project needs more contributors to be able to keep up. (Thorium is basically in the same boat)

Trucy would be trying her hardest to get him to buy this

Shame that PES/WE not only got renamed to eFootball, but also sufferred from the post-Kojima PTSD at Konami.

It recently caught up to DDR and it’s slowly catching up to Yu-Gi-Oh as well (if it didn’t already).

MTG poops and Yugipoops never get old

I used to play Duel Links and shortly Master Duel after it came out. I don’t anymore but hopefully this will help.

If I was going back to the game, I’d go to look for budget deck lists and seeing what ranks up easily. Most of the community is on Discord and Reddit, as well as YouTube (yugitubers and alike) so I’d go and look there. (Not to mention Dkayed’s website, https://masterduelmeta.com and looking at the decks that topped, you’ll be surprised it’s sometimes not all meta stuff)

I’d also go look for some easy farming methods. These usually come in a form of a current event (IIRC in MD there are these “festivals” for each card type, such as Synchro Festival). These events are usually a very easy way to gain a lot of gems for not much playing.

It is what it is. TCG paper Yu-Gi-Oh is even more expensive than MD.

DL is arguably cheaper but it’s been a long time since I last played (2021).

EDIT: Oh and before I forget - there will always be Dueling Book as a free alternative. This is a manual simulator, not an automated one, and allows you to use any card you want with custom rules.

Self-centered you say?

BOUNS ROUND

hur hur hur

NYOOM

That was because CTT WinUtil and other scripts also remove WebView2.

That can be installed separately to restore the functionality.

For anything that uses Edge directly, there is MSEdgeRedirect.

I’m surprised nobody thought of the demoscene twisters
