Socoder	Question of the Day : January 1st If you had the power to instantly become an expert in any programming language, which one would you choose and why?
Mon, 01 Jan 2024, 01:48
Jayenkai	Assembly.. .. For shitz'n'gigglez
Mon, 01 Jan 2024, 05:07
PHS	I was thinking Assembly as well. Or C++ because if you were an expert, you could make tons of money saving others from complete disaster. But I'd probably go with rust. It can directly compile to web assembly and is useful for databases, game engines and operating systems, all stuff I'm already interested in.

Jayenkai	Animal Crossing is a special sort of chill-out zone, for me. Helps my brain shut down after a crazy day of hefty thinking. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Megaman 2 - Dr Wily Stage 1 If any game got me into the NES it was this one and at my cousins house as a kid, experiencing the epic music after beating all 8 robot bosses felt awesome! A close second is the music to Exorcist on the Commodore Plus 4 though, the first game I got truly obsessed with, yay Sparky!!! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Socoder	Question of the Day : January 6th What is the most memorable or funny thing that happened to you while playing an online multiplayer game?
Sat, 06 Jan 2024, 04:32
Jayenkai	It's not online, but my mind jumped back, once more, to college and my LightCycles/Tron game. Coded in QBasic with absolutely no delta timing or frame limiting or anything. Our college had a myriad of different PCs.. Looking back, I wonder why it was such a mishmash of different systems. The whole Computer Building was only a year or two old. They must've just grabbed whatever they could to fill up the rooms!!! But, yeah, every single computer in the building ran at an ever so slightly different speed, to the point where some ended up being about twice as fast as other systems in the building. The result of this was that my unoptimised Tron game would run at different speeds depending on which computer you used. And since I'd made it playable over the network, the speed of your light cycle would depend on which computer you were using to play it. Immense fun was had trying to find just the right computer, with the best balance of fast enough to win, but not too fast that it's unplayable. Ooooh, the fun!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

PHS	I would say just all around great nostalgic memories of countless late night hours of Quake 3 Arena back in the day. Fraggin' left and right. I was a mad man. Hardly anyone could touch me.

Socoder	Question of the Day : January 7th What is the most beautiful or artistic classic videogame that you played or admired?
Sun, 07 Jan 2024, 02:58
Jayenkai	The Hi-Tec cartoon licensed games always looked gorgeous, to my childhood 8bit eyes. https://youtu.be/f9-3bjrzU5Y -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sun, 07 Jan 2024, 14:59
PHS	The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus games come right to mind. Stunning and superb. If those aren't "classic" enough, I guess the King's Quest series, as well as those really nice AGD remakes a few years back.
Mon, 08 Jan 2024, 01:31
Socoder	Question of the Day : January 8th What kind of company would you start if someone offered you the money to do so?
Mon, 08 Jan 2024, 01:36
Jayenkai	A "making your sleep pattern more normal" company. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 08 Jan 2024, 02:06
cyangames	Oh my gosh, Jay, you also made lots of variants of Tron / Lightcycles in QBasic? That was my lunchtime jam in secondary school also, it was great fun coming up with hew varieties of the game with 4 player modes, moving obstacles, etc, mainly just with the line command, what are thr chances eh? No way, you made it networkable? damn! I have no idea how you'd go about that in QBasic of all things, awesome! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Saved and loaded an x,y co-ordinate to the network drive, for every player, over and over and over and over again!! I did it in the absolute worst way possible, if I'm honest, but I was assured by the IT staff that the network drive's cache could handle it just fine, and it sure seemed to be able to. I think they enjoyed playing it, too. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	If it works, it works cool solution! I'll have to dig through my drives tonight to see if I still have the old .BAS files -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
