We were all new at one point or another. I can say that I still look back on some of my first posts and cringe. The problem starts when others immediately ostracize new members because of the actions of a few bad apples.
With Donald Trump winning the election? It will start with 2017? Update? Me doing something productive?
Trust me, when you are a programmer and deadlines are close it is often not a profession to be envied, problems surrounding crunch time are a dime a dozen in the games industry. Solving complex problems is difficult enough as is, never mind when you are under time pressure trying to figure out why something isn't working as expected. Crunch time is and has been a problem since people started making games. You will hear all sorts of stories about developers sleeping under their desks at work, relationships breaking down because other halves haven't seen their significant others for days and the list goes on. Its also part of why mental health is a fairly large problem within the industry compared to others. Many games companies provide free takeaways for employees who work late hours, late unpaid hours that often is. It is often expected within many games companies that you will work unpaid overtime in order to get a project out on time. Hence when you get things like assassins creed where the game is utterly broken on launch, the devs have likely been working stupidly long hours leading up to that launch to get it to work and since it is still broken they will be under even more pressure to work more hours after release. This is a decent article on it: http://kotaku.com/crunch-time-why-game-developers-work-such-insane-hours-1704744577 Another good one here: https://www.theguardian.com/technol...ustry-exploiting-workforce-ea-spouse-software He says while working on coursework for a few days straight xD
Too bad Leosky didn't heed my advice not too long ago. I was hoping he would've listened to me and become a productive member on this forum. Oh well, it was his account, not mine. Well @tdev, my advice is that I think the forum needs more modulators. As far as I know, the current modulators are in the European areas, so while they are inactive, definitely while its night time in their regions and they're asleep, that is an open door for things to go haywire with subjects like trolls and whatnot. I have this feeling with a modulator that's either in the US or Canada, these incidents would probably take place much less than what they have been.
sorry man not trying to case any chaos, just testing out the profanity filter! best of luck on the upcoming update!
I decided to change my avatar earlier then I wanted. lets forget that the whole duck indecent ever happened.

Currently trying to figure out a way to shove operator overloading into a solution that doesn't need it. Why? Because marks schemes
