Learning-wise, I’d say starting on PC makes much more sense. You’ll have a much easier time developing and debugging the game, as you can test right on the device you’re using to create the game. In terms of it being profitable, it’s very likely that your first game won’t be. I’d look at it as a learning experience first and foremost that will enable you to make profitable games in the future.

Yes, it is. If they’re in a flat, probably flour moths. Your friend should check any containers with food, especially grains.

It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it’s fine to do so. At this point, it’s probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn’t write a fantasy novel and name a city “Minas Tirith”, as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, “Dragonstone” is just fine IMO, even though it’s a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).

No music, no images… two things that have defined Human culture for millennia. The Taliban must really love leading a miserable existence.

I have a perfectly capable gaming PC but more often than not, I choose to play on the Steam Deck instead. I already sit at my desk for work most of the day, so it’s nice having a dedicated gaming device that I can take with me and sit in the garden or on my sofa. And of course I can take it with me when travelling.

I think it’s exactly those stories that give people a false impression when they come here. It’s not that they are false, most of the time you’ll certainly find people who can speak decent English. A tourist probably won’t need any German, but when it comes to living here long-term, dealing with bureaucracy, finding a job or making friends, knowing German is pretty essential.

So is Irish, but the point was that English is an official and widely spoken language in both countries.

Time to learn a new language, unless you’re moving to Ireland or Malta I guess. Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.

Anyway, I think you’ll get better answers if you specify a country. The EU is quite diverse, so I don’t think there’s a ton of advice that’ll be true everywhere in the EU.

That won’t do much. Each of the spam accounts I’ve seen is on a different instance.

Germany: The Munich agreement is well known and taught as part of the failed appeasement policy of Western states towards Nazi Germany. Don’t think we learned about the Bengal famine.

Yep, that’s how we spell it.

It’s most commonly used to refer to the USA.

Yeah, and frankly Macron’s government style is likely to contribute to that problem. A far-right France has never been more likely.

There was a lot of panic about “killer games” in the 90s-00s. Politicians and parents blamed video games for school shootings. Nowadays nobody cares about the topic at all, but the strict rules remain. Steam just kind of ignored the local laws so far, but now decided to actually adhere to them.

That depends… many games blocked in Germany on Steam also can’t be activated in Germany.

I’d much rather have them be overzealous and mistakenly block an addon for a few hours, than have them be too lax and approve addons actually stealing data.

Especially with the second “s” apparently standing for “satanists”. Pretty odd for a pastor, though she writes on another post that a friend created that account for her and she doesn’t know anything about the site. IDK

Pretty sure both chains offer vegan pizzas. So then it’s only an atrocity against Italian cuisine (not because it’s vegan, but because you could’ve chosen a proper pizzeria).

I’ve only eaten at Pizza Hut once and it was in Shanghai, in 2008. It was fine. Never had Domino’s. There are excellent Italian pizzerias all over Europe, so I never feel the need to go for a chain.

It’s also a problem that’s getting worse. When I was in school in the 2000s, like 80% of the kids took the bus and half of the remaining ones (like me) came by bike. Now my niece goes to the same school and she’s one of very few kids still taking the bus there. The schoolyard turns into a chaotic mess of SUVs every morning. I guess it goes hand in hand with helicopter parenting becoming normalized.
