  • From my experience, smaller creative studios (whether its gaming or media) would love for you to try out their stuff whether bought or pirated, and if youre into it and can afford it throw some money at them, otherwise talk about it with others.

    Like how We’re All Gonna Die somehow ended up with a 720p release across a bunch of torrent sites just after it had its limited theatrical release (which Freddie Wong also casually mentioned it would end up shared “somehow”). Because they really wanted people to see it, and if you liked it and want to support more, they have it on patreon for $10 as a digital download.

    I love smaller creative groups because they take more risks, explore more with their medium, and honestly they just make the coolest stuff. Its a shame I don’t have more time for gaming, because there are some amazing indie games out there and I wish I could try them all.

    That is not what hardcoded means.

    The “hard” part of “hardcoded” means you have to edit the source directly to make changes (or at runtime via memory editing).

    It does not mean “written as part of the source but editable via gui”.

    Unless there is some other item I’m missing here from a casual glance at common filters included as an example, then yes, you are misunderstanding the term “hardcoded”.









  • i write often and libreoffice writer is difficult to say the least, not because of lack of features but a lack of most ‘little things’ and ‘tweaks’.

    I think you’re missing the fact that you are doing more ‘expert’ things than most here. The majority of the time, my wife opens a document she made once, saves as a new file (no, she’s not using templates - don’t get me started), and writes her invoice. She then PDFs it and sends it via email.

    She does the same thing with Calc and a previously made blank “monthly calendar”. Opens the blank, saves for the client, enters in the days and renames the month at the top, notes what she’ll be doing for them on each day with an hour estimate, PDF and email.

    That is the kind of thing most people do.
