Yes I've used lua for modding old games like Natural Selection 2. The docs and community in roblox and factorio fill in for the deficiencies of the language. Try using lua without support frameworks. Modding ns2 is a nightmare with zer

The last millenium was indeed shaped by the church but I am very curious what the role of religion or faith will be in the current millenium. Going to churches because that's 'just what you do' has completely faded. People ar

I mean, so does assembly. Rollercoaster tycoon was written in assembly. But for mere mortals lua is just too much hassle for game dev. C# with XNA (or monogame) is a nicer 2d barebones game framework to work in, as long as you can dodge gar

Unions depend on making a black and white argument. The whole idea can't work with a nuanced argument. Either the company bows to the union or strikes start up. Either the employee joins the union or he/she gets kicked out of the

If I search "Kleenex" on Google, I'm asking Google to find me Kleenex, not some ads. If Google is going to start listing things in highest-to-lowest bid, then it stops being a search engine and starts becoming an auction hous

WASP privilege is fading. It's either melt into humanity or lift the future cultural leaders into heaven. They are doing the latter. The problem with lifting future leaders is they are not ready yet. They need humanity to grow to a poi

I don't want to tell tales out of school or anything. I've met an ex-marine who suffered damage in training and stories from internet videos all corroborate the general story. The marines are the offensive branch, and the individu

The culture changed, reddit just follows. I still miss the thoughtful discussion of difficult ontological questions in the popular culture around 2017-2018. Soon we will be discussing rhe expectional mechanical keyboards, and then some time

There are laws the media must follow. There is a truth they must tell, legally and also the stuff that gets clicks and views is true for it's audience in a salient way. Authority has the power to control, it's part of the job desc

Hatred came out in 2015, and was effectively banned in some regions. A true test on this topic will never happen in the public, Adults Only rated-games only get so far. "Mike Splechta of GameZone questioned the game's timing and h

It has a Wanted system like GTA. The comparison is accurate. Most character skills are damage addons. If you don't pick assault rifle, your going to have a pretty slow time. Crafting is pointless, augments are just another skill tree.
