#gamers in certain specific spaces hate asset reuse. certain devs and artists who are somewhat puritanical of making things hate asset reuse. but its a standard practice, there’s no possible way to not reuse anything, u arent building ur own computer architecture and creating a compiler and everything so u are using preexisting libraries. but certain people think its ‘cheating’ or ‘not real development’ if they use specific libraries, frameworks, assets, main example being game engines. but examples like asset libraries, addons, are also included in this

the reason is very similar to “you arent a real chef if u use a cake mix” bullshit. and it exists to some extent in every field from what i understand. its just about learning that building on existing things isnt demeaning or bad in any way, atleast as long as u acknowledge and credit

u know i could’ve cropped that out like i removed the interaction buttons previously on this image. but i didnt think to for some reason lmao

im not saying its not annoying that people just dont seem to search before asking a lot of the times. but seeing them is part of that free labor, and u can just ignore. i provide help in forums and just ignore when someone asks an exact question already answered and easy to search (cases where its not exact i might say something) (also ig search engines suck now so idk how to think about that but we arent talking right now anyways)

lets not pretend words dont hurt, being a “little bitch” translates to vulnerable, looking for help. vulnerability isnt the issue, the issue is lack of moderation or care by those who run the places. your statement is just re-enforcing the people who are assholes to continue being assholes and for those who get hurt to just stop being hurt, so amazing ig u solved it

those forums are great bc the mods actually care to do things

how is that toxic nerds 1? both suck here. im not saying llm is better or they are equally bad. but both arent a good thing

certain niche questions would get responses pretty fast, and yea not all the responses or even most of them were useless. but sometimes a single comment asking “did u check xyz” can be like “oh shit now ik the issue”

years of people asking questions and getting ridiculed eventually getting an answer weeks or months or years later is how there were 95% of the relevant answers

note that i dont think either is a good thing

good old times. now the gpt gets asked and it showers u with meaningless compliments explaining how to do it wrongly

trauma triggers

lmao i can imagine that

we keep losing the good ones

stuck at 50%

welcome to linux (or bsd i cant know)

i do agree with the later, people do be kinda too fixated on making sure they aren’t holding justified false beliefs. my personal belief is that everyone (including me) are scared of uncertainty. trying to live with the idea that u cant be certain about ur beliefs is scary

interesting

how did people react

society has a thing for being mean to kids, and for bizarre reasons its rarely called out
