Oh boy time for weeks of whining about how the Dems need to do the right thing and submit the impeachment to a blatant sham trial, without a single word mentioned about McConnell literally saying it will be a sham trial.

My mom, who is an actual feminist and has been in marches, jail and beaten up for what she believes in looked at that sinfest panel as I was browsing this thread and said gently caress yeah, punch Terfs, they're all idiots. She said it in Dutch so it wasn't quite as succinct but it made me smile. Ishida really, really seems to be ramping it all up to a 1000 lately. I remember when his message was, just be nice to each other.

about a dude calling the cops because he had been misandried. Between the two tweets we're supposed to take away the message that men are just the worst when they pretend to be on the receiving end of discrimination, but also that TERFs are the real victims.

Programming went through several different phases as new Right Ways To Do It are imagined and get popularized, usually with fancy acronyms and buzzwords. C++ is now a rather old language, that has evolved by its designed going through "let's shoehorn some ways to do the Latest Fad", so it's a very rich language that kinda lacks internal consistency. If you learned C++ in the 1990s and you now read code written for the latest specifications of C++, you'll have a lot of trouble understanding it, lots of completely new and often awkward syntaxes that have been added in the meantime. Java was designed to correspond only to one of these specific Latest Fads, "object oriented programming", which was all the rage in the 1990s and 2000s. C# is similar, but a bit more modern.

I've seen this kind of meltdown before, and it always ends with "at least Republicans respect differences in opinion!" Also, Ishida, comics typically have panels for a reason, I know you think your ~artistry~ is good enough for a panel-less layout but I needed to look at this for like 10 seconds before figuring out you're trying to show a sequence of events.

Katt posted:Teach me the dark arts. Teach me dammit! You want to find an engine. Games have a lot of shite backend crap to deal with and an engine takes care of a lot of it for you- poo poo like file loading, rendering, building for other systems, etc. There are some decent html5 engines out there these days, and a lot of good game engines build for html5. The Godot game engine is free, open source, and a solid place to get your feet wet with small projects. It's got its own Python-inspired scripting language but it's very standard stuff, and the node-based system is very good for making sure you've got good game structure. It's my go-to for jams these days. Unity has very solid 2d support for making smallish stuff, but it's still a hefty 3d-oriented engine with a lot of history and bad decisions. They're currently pushing 2d hard and releasing a bunch of unfinished features and other dumb poo poo. Still a good option though. Game Maker is good for really quick games, and Game Maker 2 is apparently great but it charges up front rather than taking a cut later, and it's pricey. Unreal is massive and absurdly powerful and really modular and nice, but it's got poo poo all 2d / small game support.

I guess the evil pimp was trying to hypnotize the personification of Lady Liberty to become a prostitute but she breaks free and explodes the gender man-church but there is also another evil pimp who is a skeleton in hell fighting the dying personification of the year 2019 but he also explodes and I guess it's the same explosion maybe and there is a good sex worker with bad zombie teeth even though those signify evil everywhere else and hj45789hkdf9uiZaRQnkwWZRtHayLDQhyT.

If you want to make browser games, I recommend just learning modern HTML and Javascript. This has the added benefit of giving you a marketable skill, and Javascript games can be bundled into apps pretty easily. If you want to make games with complex graphics, Unity is probably a better choice.

Thanks for all the good advice. Should I study some coding language in general? I have been working as a manual laborer my whole life and somehow I leveraged all that into a dream job working in an office for a pretty good wage and I figured I would expand my computer related skills as much as possible now that I got my foot into the non-back breaking door. Admittedly I really enjoyed html but back then we used html because that was the thing. I want to learn what's efficient and useful but also maybe make some small games mostly for fun with friends on my spare time. I'd hate to have started on the "wrong" path from the start if you know what I mean.

Python is generally regarded as a good starter language -- it has a pretty good ratio of how easy it is to learn vs how powerful it is. Javascript is also easy to learn and has direct applications to several of the frameworks that have already been mentioned, and although it has been super broken in the past it's getting less broken all the time. C# is a good general-purpose language (although it's specific to web and Windows platforms) and works with Unity. Personally I'm a webdev and pretty much exclusively use Java and (React-flavored) Javascript for my work e: to be clear, Java is a tech-industry standard but is too slow for most game-related uses which is why I didn't put it in my list

It's very commonly used so it's a marketable skill and it's fast and relatively simple. Code Academy has good tutorials, and I know that at the company I work for, it's a good sign when an applicant has completed it.
