Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

Has anyone managed to use 80_PA on Linux?

I wanted to play Test Drive Unlimited 2 multiplayer with the TDU World mod, but since I’m not one of the lucky few who owned the game back in the day (I was still a teenager when they shut down the game) I have to pirate it. Unfortunately, the tool required to do it while working with TDUWorld, 80_PA...

Scariest/creepiest production logo?

When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I’d be confirmed of the...

What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I’ve seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain “you’re using big person words to describe mundane things” when they’re aiming for precision or “woah, we don’t need that damn wall of text” when they’re aiming for clarity. It’s like people just want to...

I know that naming variables is one of the biggest unsolved problems of Computer Science but how would you name a boolean flag to be self explanatory?

What I mean is: some boolean flags are perfect for the real world phenomenon they are representing e.g. is_light_on makes you understand perfectly that when it is true the light is on and when it is false the light is off....

Self-hosted website for posting web novel/fiction

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own “sections” (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...

Switching from Nvidia to AMD Graphics

I finally did it and got an used RX 6950 XT to replace my GTX 1080 Ti. I’ve been using this card ever since I moved to Linux and now I’m wondering what exactly I have to do. On Windows it’s mostly run DDU and install the new AMD drivers, everything else will probably work the same with Afterburner etc....

[EU Politic] which "European party" has done the most to prevent a new Qatargate ?

In the context of the European election next month. I am surprised that the Qatargate where several elected official have been charged for receiving Qatari money against service (en.wikipedia.org/…/Qatar_corruption_scandal_at_th… ) isn’t more discussed by media....

Can a damaged hard drive slow down a computer?

My mother’s laptop has been running as fast as a turtle on a snail going uphill for a long time now. Everything has been done to it, including formatting it and installing another, less cumbersome OS, but nothing improves. I have an HHD available, I have done some tests and it does work....
