Congrats on dipping your toes into networking! Don’t let it suck you in too much or you’ll end up with a career change.

Plenty of resources out there to learn from, just pick a project and try to implement it. Or just play around with netcat (just ‘nc’ nowadays).

Look into the TCP/IP stack (or the OSI model, both cover the core concepts) for an overview of how applications talk to each other. This will also help you understand how LocalSend probably works (my guess is broadcasting to your network and seeing what devices are listening on a certain port. Some LAN-enabled games work like this, others aren’t as magical and ask you to provide an address and a port).

Don’t DM, reply so we may spread the word.

HEB. Really big here in Texas. It’s more “premium” than Walmart at usually comparable prices, though they are more food focused vs. carrying everything.

Bonus points if you’re recounting a Vietnam war story about your buddy getting his legs blown off by Charlie. (Movie is Major Payne)

If it was turned off, it didn’t get the bad update.

Sounds like we should be using Waymo way less.

You realize that it’s much easier now to make a game than it was two decades ago (see other comment)? That digital platforms make it more accessible for buyers to get your game? That the overall trend in the industry has been to get a game out as fast as possible then try to patch it after the fact, when that wasn’t even an option two decades ago (internet existed, sure, but not everyone had good internet)? Sure, the quality of graphics may have gone up, but everything else has been left behind.

Also, saying that people complaining about price is out-of-touch, is itself out-of-touch. Most people have even less purchasing power now than they did two decades ago and you want us to pay even more for a product inferior to what we would’ve gotten years ago?

I’d honestly buy Satisfactory again with how much fun I’ve had in that game.

They had us in the first half, ngl.

Schrödinger’s versioning: you don’t know if it’s stable or not until you observe something breaking.

yeah, but how often do you see those around on highways (compared to regular exits)? and it doesn’t excuse those people who get in the left lane 10 miles before the turn itself and go 10 mph below the limit…

I’m 25 and a nice pair of socks and good undies fills the void in my soul like nothing else could.

they keep pushing our buttons, we’ll see what happens

“I’m tired of this, grandpa!”

“That’s too damn bad! You keep living in this shithole of a world we created because we could only see short-term gain”

Or a weird concept.

Hear me out on this: God is creating jobs for the community. If there weren’t stupid people around to get hurt, the smart ones wouldn’t have anything to do!

If you want a true “Minecraft in space” experience, I recommend Space Engineers. Not as broad as NMS, but much deeper (especially with mods like WeaponCore, MES, and Aerodynamics).

TBF, it kinda sucked on release. I still remember the monoliths of Hydrogen…

still, I use it as one of gamings biggest comeback stories because it is.
