Not from that anon probably, this is a random mod for victoria 3 that is not even about workers syndicates, but about roleplay as a mafia organization

how are you gonna make games if you didn't build a computer from scratch by hand, dummy?

I believe those things are worth learning but video games feel like such a pointless medium.

this is too much to learn, pick at least 1 maximum if you want to become a master, focus in only 1 and you will become a master at it.

Hot take; some people really are just "idea guys" and their contributions should be appreciated even if they are purely intellectual in nature

Isn't the whole concept of a vanguard party just glorified idea guy-ism?

>people are meant to have many talents.
I know but you need time and money for this. most people only have time and money for at maximum 2 things to truly master at. when I mean to become a master, I mean the black belt type of master that goes even beyond the black belt, the real deal, I'm not talking about the person only having the ability, I'm talking about the person being a master at such ability.

but if you have infinite time and money you could master any amount of skills you want but that's not the case for most people.

you need about 10k hours to master a skill and the average career is 80,000 hours before retirement. You have also therefore 80,000 hours of free time and 80,000 to sleep during that same career. Therefore, you can master up to 8 skills in your free time, and up to 8 skills at work, for a total of up to 16 skills if you dedicate yourself full time to mastering skills. But most people will only learn a couple of skills, that's true.

meh, only trig and algebra are useful here. physics and calculus, depends on if you're doing deep engine stuff
>learn how to program (starting with ASM)
you definitely dont need to learn assembly lol, you can program games with a high level language like C# or Python or even Lua (Love2D) if you use libraries

Has any game that advertised itself as "your choices matter!" ended up with the player's choices actually mattering? Seems like it's always a marketing thing and the actual system is that your choices give you either Ending A or the slightly different Ending B or C

 No.34574

>>34573
nah, at least the indie games i played they had too many endings, so to increase the replayability.
One of the best "Your choices matter" game was Fallout new vegas, and they did not have many endings, but almost every choice had some form of consequence in the end

I mean there's quite a lot of games with totally different endings based on who you side with, but stuff like 'social' games rarely have your choices matter much yeah
