DK64 is sometimes accused of killing the collectathon genre. While I’m not sure if the accusations are deserved, DK64 was too ambitious with the amount of collectibles and the size of levels for its own good.

It’s still a great game. I think I prefer DK64 over Tooie overall.

I played both in my childhood, and I don’t think I’ve ever returned to Tooie after I beat it first time. It’s a good game, but doesn’t have that same lasting appeal as the first game.

You touched a bit on the why: the game is too ambitious. The levels are too massive and too intertwined. Smaller isolated levels fit the collectathon format better.

I remember having lots of fun with the multiplayer though, so that’s a bonus.

If you want to continue the collectathon journey you should try out Donkey Kong 64. It’s also a game that falls under its own ambitions, but in different ways. Still a good game, but nothing beats Kazooie.

Thanks. I’m content with my own solitude, but I can admit the affirmation I got from this event felt nice, even though it was all stimulated.

Not too bad, but could be better.

A funny story about my not so great love life: just matched with a girl on Tinder which I managed to have engaging text discussions with and it felt quite genuine. This is rare for me, so I was happy about it.

Well, in the end it became obvious to me it was just a pig butchering romance scam when she started to talk about how she can help me invest in cryptocurrency.

I guess I’m going to be a failure in love life for a bit longer lol.

The boy’s name? Albert Einstein.

I can’t speak from the British Commonwealth perspective, but from a Swedish perspective my opinion is this regarding having a monarch:

Yeah, it might not reflect our modern values well, but since the (Swedish) monarch is mostly ceremonial and completely unpolitical, there’s actually quite little to hate about it. They’re just the mascot of the country. There’s far more pressing issues in our country than having that confused old guy as head of state.

At least he doesn’t possess nuclear launch codes.

My guess to why the ads are so different:

The firms making the ads are probably completely separate from the developers. Could be just random people from fiverr making the ads. They get barely any gameplay footage, so they just come up with some random gameplay that looks fun in an ad.

I guess the game developers might be some random people from fiverr as well.

As to why it works: no idea. I guess some people just don’t care, and given how cheap these games are to make they probably just need a few people to break even.

Next moon mission they will try out rocket jumping techniques

Oh no I’m so sad

When people say “Korea”, they probably mean the south one (unless they’re a fan of Kim Jong Un).

Wait until AI start to summarize meetings into email

And boycotting Russia hasn’t really stopped their aggressions

The good thing about the var keyword is that it’s still statically typed. The IDE can figure out the type for you if you hover over it.

Sure, anyone can pick up a new language or two over a weekend. That doesn’t mean they are confident enough to contribute to large scale programs with it. That takes much longer to learn.

Anyone can quickly learn how to solve some code challenges in a new language.

It’s a completely different story to learn how to write long lived enterprise scale programs that can grow with multiple independent contributors. This takes a lifetime to learn. More people have more experience to do it with Java.

It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.

You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.

Who cares? If it works, it works.

The biggest strength of Java is that many programmers has years or even decades of experience in it.

I might click on some sponsored results in Google search if it was the result I was looking for either way.

GameStop could go completely out of business and they would still manage to find a way to continue the copium.
