  • Does GTA V equate to selling one playable copy or is it because its somehow bundled with shark cards? Also how is Tetris counted, because there are multiple Tetris games. Do they count smartphone games? How fits free to play with micro transactions into this discussion? Some have a buy once for full price to unlock main game with additional optional DLCs (in example Overwatch 2 and Paladins worked like that). It's a bit unfair to put them all in one. I also do not count built-in or bundled games like Wii Sports.

    Is there any source? Just sharing an image?

  • Just to be clear, I don't want come over as if more fans are bad. It is entirely possible that more fans could be really helpful for your system, just clearing this up here.

    Just make sure at least one front intake (to take in fresh air) and the exhaust on the other side is working. Off course your GPU, CPU and PSU have one, so nothing to say about that. And in most cases that should be enough. Make sure there are not much cables in the way of airflow; which looks pretty clean to me on the image. A second intake and just maybe one on top could be helpful, but it depends. More than that is in most cases for a normal mid gaming pc not required, if the rest of the system is working well.

  • Need to add 4 additional fans (3top 1 on aircooler)

    Do you really need to? And if so, how do you know? Most of the time extra coolers don't do that much, if the cooling system is working already. So my suggestion is, watch the temps of the system and only add if you need to. No need to spend more money or make the system louder than it is. Just my opinion.

  • I see. My assumption was you had a problem with a certain application, and my reply was from that viewpoint.

    I 100% agree that Python programs relying on binary programs can be really complicated. In fact one of my projects requires a third party binary program to be installed, but I do not build it from source and just require it to be available on the system. And I encountered lot of issues when trying to create AppImage and sharing in certain environments. Actually this made me learn Rust, so I have a real compiled language in my repertoire for future projects when needed.

  • Why do you need gcc to compile a Python program? Which project do you talk about? In such cases its probably the best to run the application in a virtual machine. To me sounds like either a neglected project or designed to run in a docker image maybe? When was it updated last?

  • replying to boost the boost

  • Thanks. I take it.

  • I was under the assumption this game was single player only. For multiplayer games, I am not saying anything, because exploits and bugs should be fixed. Below defending part of this reply is about single player games, which does not apply to this game.

    But for single player games, if someone wants to cheat or abuse an exploit, it should be their decisions. And there is no need to shame anyone for doing so. That is like hacking a game and doing whatever you want (well its not the same off course). My point is, if it does not harm anyone, then they have the right to get upset for patching that out if it was part of what was fun to them. Off course getting upset over patching an exploit is just silly. And its even more silly to downvote a game for. But still, I can understand, because they had fun with it.

  • Right, my bad. You are absolutely right to mention that.

  • You are talking about the compiler, not the language itself. Humans program in programming languages such as JavaScript and C to write computer programs. The code is human readable text in both cases. Both are code to describe how a program operates. Therefore C and JavaScript are programming languages.

    With your logic, is Python not a programming language? The common compiler is an interpreter. But there are also real compilers that produce machine code. What about C# and Dotnet langauges and Java? They produce Bytecode that needs to be interpreted by an interpreter and executed at runtime, as these are not machine code yet. Are those not programming languages?

  • Which one? Hahahahaha.

    Nice one.

  • HTML is not a scripting language, it is a markup language to describe text and give it meaning. You can't write programs in HTML itself.

  • Why is a scripting language not a programming language? I am not sure if you are joking (would be fitting to be honest, but ask nonetheless in case it is serious). JavaScript is a programming language, and scripting is a sub category or type of it. The language itself does not define if its a scripting language, this is defined by the compiler.

    What about compilers that compile to C first and then machine code / self running executable? I think this is how some Python compilers work (no I am not talking about bundles). What about C# and Dotnet? Java Bytcode?

  • Isn't JavaScript is the worst programming language to ever exist.

  • I can't answer your question in the title, but I can say what I do whenever I learn a new programming language (even if its temporary just to play around with new languages). My personal Hello-World like program I tackle in most cases is something that runs another program. Lot of my personal projects are actually like that. You can start simple, to learn how to do associated tasks with it. There is a lot you can learn by diving into this (first) simple exercise.

    This will help you understanding how to read directories, handle file names and paths correctly, read text files in example, how to spawn a process, handle possible errors and react to error codes, possibly read and process stdout of the program. Also handle commandline options, output stdout so it can be used with other programs easily. Write configuration file and so on.

    An alternative thing you can try is, doing a simple grep like program. Or maybe a simple game that asks you a few questions and gives points. Or a note taking app.

  • I would say that if you purchase the game, then I do not consider it pirating to crack the Denuvo, just for playing the game (without abusing anything). Although I can understand pirating without buying, because you don't want to reward Denuvo and the company using it.

  • I see. Then in this case, its only fair to remove exploits. I always thought this game is offline single player only (never played the previous game, despite being in my library... oh boy the pile of shame). In this case I agree with you fully and there should be no reason for "review bomb".

  • Ok, fair I guess. Does it have player vs player mode? That was what I was thinking off.

  • Glad we understood our points of view. I honestly didn't know how to express myself better. And thank you as well staying calm without the typical forum toxicity. :-) I guess there is not much else to discuss about this particular point anymore, as we cleared any prior misunderstandings up.

    Ultimately, the law is there, the execution is not.
