Quoting: ixnariThe state of the game right now is...not optimal. Lots of users are reporting crashes and the UI unfortunately doesn't seem to scale, as it looks absolutely tiny on 4k monitors, which makes text a bit hard to read. I would definitely wait to see if they fix these issues before purchasing it.

Sounds like it's not a big loss to wait some weeks for it. But I will take a look, the first one was great.

Quoting: GuestMake sure Steam Play is disabled so you don't accidentally download the Windows version. I just tried it and it had a missing executable.

What's this "Steam Play"...?

;)

Quoting: no_information_hereMany of those are quite hard! I find it interesting that in the "small" vs "fast" optimizations, my "small" solutions often feel more hackish compared to the "fast" ones. It might just be me, though.

Same here! For the small solutions, I sometimes have to

Spoiler, click me

intentionally make mistakes, like dropping stuff I don't have

. That makes it feel less beautiful than the fast solutions. (Which are not beautiful every time either. :-) )

I will also no doubt be chasing my Rabbit around, telling him off for chewing everything possible.

Sounds like there's little difference between your rabbit and my two 14 months old girls. :-D "How about looking at this book?" *chewchew*

Back to games... Still playing 7 Billion Humans. I solved the two middle optimization tiers, but I'm still stuck at one optimization goal of the easiest tier. And the hardest puzzles are not too easy without optimization goals in the first place...

I'm breaking two rules of mine at once for Feral: Not paying with credit card and not preordering.

Quoting: BoldosCan you please elaborate on how far is it? (with some - at least generic - examples...)

Visual Studio Code is basically an editor with loads of plugins (which as far as I know come from lots of different sources). The base as well as the plugins I tried the last months were getting frequent updates, some stable, some not so much. In my humble opinion, the plugins (ab)using parts of the interface make its usage incoherent. It's a quick and dirty tool for hacking something together. Again, IMHO.

Visual Studio is a professional software development environment. Its not without flaws, of course, but it is the stable tool I need for big team projects. And it would be my tool of preference for C++ programming under Linux, if it would let me.

I'm probably biased. I prefer the stable stuff, and I'm using (and getting used to) Visual Studio for at least 20 years now.

Quoting: Mountain ManLinux software has never been that hard to install. I mean:

./configure
make
make install

This isn't rocket science. The problem is that people seem to have an irrational fear of the command line.

While there's different reasons people don't want to do that, there's at least (!) one very good one: People should refrain from doing stuff in the command line they don't understand. And no, most people don't know, don't care and shouldn't need to care about 'compiling'.

Quoting: ChronariusYou can remove Visual Studio from that list!

Visual Studio Code is very far from Visual Studio.
