  • Well, if you want you can design your website using the elementor tool and a locally hosted wordpress (you can use local to host the wordpress). All of it without having to know how to code.

    After you are done with your design, use a static plugin generator (it’s called staatic) to generate your website. It mostly keeps all of the functionality that you desire (html, css, js) but it’s static which means that you can’t have a database.

    You can take the static website and host it on any hosting service of your choice. GitHub is a very good fast option. You’ll have to own your domain name though.

    Speedtest the website, and then optimize.








  • Ahh sorry, I didn’t see the comment earlier.

    Yes, imo live service games are very bad for the people who buy them and the people making it.

    They are only there to make cash. And they make this cash through terrible predatory monetization - loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes. These companies actually want to run casinos that target the most vulnerable and children. You can argue that people wouldn’t want to work on this if they had a choice.

    There’s almost always very little artistic value.

    At least with sp AAA, you can gain a cult following if you have an interesting gameplay, or story. what are you doing with a live service one? Nothing, just offering the same thing that someone else has already created in another flavour, just to chase a trend. What this means is that they’re more likely to fail and not for the fault of the devs for sure.

    They’re also bad for preservation of games. All live service games die, you can’t play them once support ends. You paid 60 dollars to rent a game? (Though I suppose that’s true with sp always online games as well and it’s not directly a bad thing for the dev)

    Though… you maybe sort of right, the Industry is so bad right now that it doesn’t even matter whether you are working on sp or live service, you are in some sort of hell regardless…



  • I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.

    My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don’t understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)

    If I had to say how much I use it to learn, I’d say it’s about 30% of the total learning. It can’t teach you course work from scratch like a real person can (even through videos), but it can help clear doubts.






  • I have difficulty learning, but using AI has helped me quite a lot. It’s like a teacher who will never get angry, doesn’t matter how dumb your question is or how many time you ask it.

    Mind you, I am not in school and I understand hallucinations, but having someone who is this understanding in a discourse helps immensely.

    It’s a wonderful tool for learning, especially for those who can’t follow the normal pacing. :)
