why bother being a game dev in 2026? there's so many games already, can (you) do something so special, that it could be worthwhile amongst the giant see of games already out and in development? And I'm not talking about if you could make a living out of it, or not, but if you could make something that's truly artistically special.
>>107811034(nta)ok then just lie down and let yourself die then.the core element of a good game is a good gameplay loop btwjust look at shit like plants and zombies
>>107811034why should I have to? would you go up to the guy doing woodworking in his garage and ask him how HIS coffee table was artistically special and stands out in a sea of great coffee tables? It doesn’t have to.I can just make the game I want for me. get out of my garage.
>>107811073I had fulltime game devs in mind writing OP. Also the woodworking comparison doesn't work out, because coffee tables are (also) utility commodities, and not purely artistic, like games.
>>107811166when people want a coffee table as an untility object they buy from ikea for 20 bucksnot from a woodworker for 2000
>>107811034Some game genres, like deck builders, have ravenous fan bases that will endlessly look for new titles once they’ve figured out their current one. They don’t need it to be super original, they want a variation on the mechanics they know that will challenge them. Other genres, like horror, are more artistic. Your mechanics are less important, and it’s more about presentation and the story to tell. We’ve not yet come even close to running out of stories to tell.Other games like Factorio, RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress come to rule entire genres, typically due to fantastic modding support, well designed simulation elements, and a lot of freedom for players to create their own challenges. These are a sort of escapism/puzzle for autist types.There’s also more casual puzzler type games like Mini Metro or the Zachtronics games. You can only figure out a puzzle once, so people who enjoy this experience go looking for more games similar, that are new.If anything, I think the game market OP most succinctly captures is AAA. They’re neither innovative in story, nor in mechanics.In short, the game market is only about 30 years old. Thinking we’ve already exhausted the possibilities is a bit silly. For a game to be remembered and considered special, it has to do one of these things, ideally multiple:- Innovate on, create or synthesize fun mechanics- Possess impactful and unique visuals- Tell a story that is either compelling and well written, or is told in a unique and compelling way.Comment too long.

how do I know I am getting a good deal on a micro pc? what thinkcenter, optiplex, prodesk generation should I aim for?
Anyone here use Unraid?TrueNAS/ZFS seems to be the standard choice on the interwebs for any custom NAS setup but for my specific purposes I'm kinda leaning towards Unraid. I'm I being retarded, or is there genuine merit to choosing Unraid?

I'm tired of these narcissistic old heads who are coming out and wondering why they have been laid off. They sit here talking about their past projects and achievements as if they're something ground-breaking, as if his job involves writing xdp programs that run in the NIC driver. My fellow rice king: you're a web dev, know your place. The moment your leverage runs out, you are sent to the rice fields. That's the name of the game. Make yourself useful or get the fuck out. No one cares about how good your Javascript, Typescript-- whatever the fuck you're using is. Like seriously, he is dead ass sitting in front of his camera right now, with the most unironic stare imaginable, and telling me "I felt like I could have built anything...", while sitting in front of a Mac Studio. Like what??? brother, your usefulness as a programmer begins and ends at where Apple wants it to be. Don't nobody give a fuck about some "senior with 25 years of experience" who spends most of his day working in layer 7.
>>107810330You are old as fuck
>>107809894This is true. I remember when programs used to be reliable and didn't need "day 1 patches" after install. Now almost everything is full of bugs and broken code. [They] can write all they want about pressed deadlines, etc. Honestly it's just the quality of the devs themselves has plumted.
then go watch something else

You are an expert at prompt generation and tailor fitting each prompt you create to the specific AI model it is going to be used on.
