I got a friend in game dev. They’ve worked for 3 companies over 6 years. None of the titles they have worked on were ever released.
The title they’re currently working on has had its funding cut (by Embracer Group) and the CEO of the studio is desperately trying to find another source of funding. Everyday they go into work expecting to be told the studio is shutting down.
Game dev certainly seems to suck the souls out of creative people who just want to make something fun.
A lot of responses here so I’ll suggest a different approach. You can watch your python code execute line by line using a debugger. That might help with understanding how it all works.
def my_sum(list):
result = 0
for number in list:
result += number
return result
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
list_sum = my_sum(my_list)
print(list_sum) # Prints 15
If you run the above code line by line in a debugger, you’ll see that when it gets to list_sum = my_sum(my_list)
the program will jump into the function my_sum(list)
where “list” is a variable holding the value of “my_list”. The program continues line by line inside of the function until it hits the return result
statement. The program then returns to the line it was at before jumping into the function. “my_sum(my_list)” now has an actual value. It’s the value that the return statement provided. The line would now read list_sum = 15
to python.
A debugger shows you which lines get executed in which order and how the variables update and change with each line.
Just a note: python has a built-in sum()
function you could use instead of writing your own my_sum()
function, but a debugger won’t show you how built-in functions work! They’re built into the language itself. You’d need to look up Python’s documentation to see how they actually function under the hood.
Gamestop has been a meme stock since covid when it jumped from a few dollars a share to $50 a share. Since 2020 it has fluctuated quite a bit but has overall trended downwards. Now it’s gone from $10 up to $30 each. A fool and his money are soon parted.
I made one called “crash_bandicoot.exe” that opened the windows calculator in an infinite loop.

There’s definitely a CEO whose bonus depends on hitting a certain number of PSN accounts. I can only assume account info is being sold because why else would they care? It’s either that or they eventually plan on charging PC players a monthly fee to play all their Sony games.
Just writing words doesn’t make it legally binding. Anyone who reads this comment owes me $1,000,000 USD.

They asked the streamers for reviews but gave them an advertising contract by mistake!
Even the Linux nerds who customize everything about their computer are probably still using the QWERTY keyboard layout. I’ve seen a lot of “arch btw” but never seen “dvorak btw”.
OP is a troll. Do not feed the troll.
It’s not satire! Torovoltos used telnet to hack into my iPhone and instal an mp3 virus known as Songs of Innocence
Japanese companies and making your product impossible to purchase. Name a better duo.
Yes, you’re right. Arrowhead aren’t playing good cop. They deeply regret their decision. As they should. They ruined an amazing game by giving control of it over to Sony. I still agree with the OP. Fuck Arrowhead for ruining an awesome game by giving Sony control.
Lay with dogs, get flees. I don’t pity Arrowhead for signing an anti-consumer contract with an anti-consumer company for money and then realized it hurt their image with consumers. This is the consequences of actions. Maybe their next game will be self published. That was always an option. They didn’t pick that. They picked this.
They signed a contract with Sony saying they’d require PSN to play the game. They knew this would be a requirement. It’s not like PSN suddenly isn’t available worldwide. They were fine with the deal until players got upset and now they want out of the deal to save face.
There are two ways to increase productivity. You can work more hours or you can work more efficiently. Japan has spent the last few decades increasing hours worked while never improving efficiency. Other Asian countries are growing their economies by building modern factories with the latest machines and tools. Japan won’t let go of their fax machines and stamps.

$19.99$14.99 (25% off)If you’re into scripting or hacking you should check this game out. It’s an interesting twist on the Multi-User Dungeon genre. The game presents mostly as a command-line interface where your goal is to seek out targets to pwn for money/points. NPC targets will have vulnerabilities you need to find and exploit in order to expose a hackable part. Once found you engage hackermode where you’ll have a timelimit to break the target’s security (mostly through bruteforce cracking). The game allows you to write short scripts in JavaScript to automate searching for vulnerabilities and cracking security.
Being Multi-User, there are other users online doing what you’re doing and you’re free to chat with them and exchange scripts. You’re also free to write malicious scripts that will steal money/points from others who don’t check scripts before running them!
The part I found cool was that the game mirrors IRL hacking much closer than other hacking games. You’ll often need to submit incorrect data to NPC targets to get an error message that will contain hints about where to go next. Ex. A webpage has “News” and “About Us” sections. You can request a section that doesn’t exist to get an error message that shows all acceptable sections: “News”, “About Us”, or “Employees”. You’ve found a hidden section! Using scripts to send a bunch of mal-formed data at a target and then analyzing which ones generate an exploitable error is part of real-life security testing.
