Ooops, yeah of course this should be \n not /n. Shame on me 😅

StackOverflow: Lets play a game

Me (2 years ago): I love coding Java in eclipse on my 700€ gaming laptop.

Me (now): Fuck Windows and my old heavy, loud laptop that runs out of battery after only 60 mins! I love my Thinkpad with Linux Mint, dark Cinnamon desktop and IntelliJ, CLion and all the other nice JetBrains IDEs. Still like Java though.

You should have seen his first early access videos. He only used these ugly 3d fonts, that look like the office wordart special effect fonts. Wasn't easy to get that idea out of his head.

The logo is actually my fault. A quick draft I have put together one evening, just so we had at least something. I hate it. I told him to hire a real designer to make a decent logo, but the next day my crappy draft appeared on the early access trailer. Shame one me I guess.

Many of the 3d assets were taken from example resources, so you could call the game an asset flip I guess. This is the main reason why I was'nt OK with the pricing.

I have made a castle mod for Skyrim (player home with small quest) and some crafting mods for Fallout 4.

@Alice To be fair, the game alone is only around 6 GB and with low res textures and shadow maps we coule probably get it down to 2 or 3 GB. Still way to much for mobile though.

@CWins Name of he game is Breaking Wheel.

Just saw he adjusted the price to $4.99, so I guess he finaly believes me that 10 is to much for a sidescroller game :-)

Mine doesn't know String has a contains function, so he uses string.indexOf("somestuff") != -1

And he uses 3 page long code examples in his presentations. Without syntax highlighting...

And don't get me started about consistency and naming conventions.

I am even using ctrl + s on IDEs like intellij, that don't have a manual saving system but an automatic one

Me: Can it run Unreal Engine 4, Visual Studio and 10 Chrome tabs at the same time?

ALL printers are evil! The wireless ones are the worst though...

should be "piece" of course :D

you forgot "Incident Driven Development"

Meh, I like UI design. If you want to do some reverse engineering to see how you can make nice looking UIs with Java Swing, take a look at my mod manager:

Or me yesterday:
Turned on my PS3 and TV to watch some amazon prime video for the first time in months:
Phillips TV needs update. Amazon App needs update. PS3 needs update. And then it wouldn't let me start the fucking app until I sign in to my Sony account in PS3 settings... FUCKING HELL

Now imagine how awesome it would be to have a screenshot of your desktop as screen of the computer icon. Viva la recursion!

Did you chmod the usr directory? That can break sudo. (Had that a few weeks ago)

The package manager to install software with console commands is really useful.

"apt search gimp" to search for software (in this example gimp)

"sudo apt-get install gimp" to install software

Yeah. Drives me crazy everytime someone sends me such an image. I can understand that the average user may not know these tools, but a developer?!

On top of that, unlike C++ Java cannot use CPU registers due to its platform independency. Java can only use the stack for calculations, which is always slower than registers.

or it magically resets to 0... 😂

Eclipse ❤

Just set the look and feel to system default and your Swing app suddenly looks really nice. Its a one liner in a try catch that you have to execute once when your application starts:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

This screenshot for example is pure java swing:

I actually like working with Java. You can get stuff working much faster than in C++. On the other hand Java is not very efficient and has limitations that you don't have in C++.

It's open source. If you want to check the code, here is the GitHub link:

Haven't updated the repo for quite some time though...

Sure. You can make really nice UIs in Swing if you know what you're doing. Here is a screenshot of a modmanager I wrote for Skyrim and Fallout 4. Its 100% Java Swing.
