Quoting: ArehandoroDo they already know it was a he?No, and they never will. They probably just didn't want to write "the asshole" and went with "he" instead.

I read somewhere that Formula 1 has a lot of rules and limitations on how fast a car is allowed to go, because of safety issues. Imagine if you didn't have to worry about the squishy drivers, they could go much faster, and drive more aggressively. Flying drone racing is already a thing, so why not car drone racing? I'd be into that. :happy:

Quoting: jordicomaWhat? A ghost car? Where are the drivers?A drone, I would guess.

Quoting: DribbleondoNo, i mean is there any situation where you would want to disable it on purpose?Quoting: LinasWhat's the use case for not enabling it?> If it's off, Valve noted in CS:GO updates that it may cause your Trust Score to be "negatively affected" so you might see more cheaters and terrible people.

To be honest, it has always escaped me how games in e.g. Russia cost like 10% of what we pay in the EU. I mean, I do get that purchasing power and salaries are very different, but we are talking about digital goods. It takes whatever amount of money it takes to make a game, in whatever country is was made. It's not like the prices in Russia are lower because it is somehow cheaper to distribute them in Russia. Somehow feels arbitrary and fake in the global economy.

Quoting: frykThats strange, I don't think this is that new.Neither do I. My family lives in another country that crosses the Steam pricing region. When I was buying a game while visiting, Steam showed me a warning, and asked to confirm which country I actually live in. That was a few years ago.

I have personally used IntelliJ IDEA (Java), Rider (C#, .NET, Unity engine), PhpStorm, and Android Studio on Linux. They are all based on the same platform, with different plugins installed. I suggest you try the free IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, or/and the trial versions. Definitely worth the money if you are using them professionally. They also have free versions for students and open-source developers.

Quoting: DigitalSinWhoopsie daisy, you are right. AppCode is only available for macOS. CLion [External Link] on the other hand is for Linux.Quoting: LinasHave you looked at JetBrains products [External Link]? AppCode [External Link] is probably the closest thing.Those look really interesting. But they are for macos :)

The developer suggests running the game in a Linux virtual machine [External Link] for users having trouble with running it on macOS. :wink:

Quoting: DigitalSinWhat are the Linux alternatives to Apple's Xcode? Last time I used it, was easy and fast to use - with incredible search capabilities. (This was years ago in Tiger.) I can't really find a comparable IDE for Linux.Have you looked at JetBrains products [External Link]? AppCode [External Link] is probably the closest thing.
