Not really, we're old but not quite there yet. :)
One doesn't have to be old to know and appreciate classic games.
True, true, but we did not know this one :)

I mean, you can write a website that doesn't require any of that. social media links for authentication (if the website requires authentication) are strictly necessary. Analytics and optimization are things the eu is trying to prevent, so of course you get a popup.
It is possible, yes. It just hampers much of what people expect modern websites to do (though it hinders abuse, as well, which is good!). But even GitHub, who proudly declared they had removed all non-essential cookies https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/ added them back https://github.com/github/site-policy/pull/582/files and now if you click either "Manage cookies" or "Do not share my personal informat…
GitHub is owned by Microsoft, the company that's putting ads on your start menu, I'm not sure why people are expecting anything less. Whatever they had in terms of culture before acquisition is not the same afterward, even if it changed gradually.

#153I can't play this cause I'm on a Mac, but I have to say - the video is very impressive. Almost instantly clear on what the idea is (or at least it feels that way) and looks very fun.
Great job and good luck!

> But you can't raise the price on a low-quality product and expect a great sales response. Well… obviously. My point wasn’t that raising the price is always a good idea; it was that it sometimes is. It’s worth mentioning because even the idea that it’s sometimes sensible is surprising to many.
Of course there are good reasons to raise prices, but low or no sales is not one of them.
Well, you’re wrong. It’s been done before. It’s unconventional and perhaps rare, but it has been observed to work sometimes.
But I’m talking about products you’d buy regularly rather than one-time purchases like games or music.

#155well done good luck with it!

#156How did y'all find working in Godot? Any DX or workflow recommendations? I've bounced off it a couple times after getting impatient with slowness and other minor frictions, but I really want to like it.
switched to bevy
You're downvoted but I've seen similar sentiments frequently, tbh. I've indeed looked at bevy - I don't know Rust yet, but I guess I also don't really know GDScript yet either.

Apparently you only need the popup if you are doing something nefarious. Otherwise it's not required! Yikes!
This does not appear to be accurate. The official EU GDPR site says that consent is required for anything except "strictly necessary" cookies. https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ "To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must: Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies." There are no exceptions for not "nefarious" or "fishy" - only if…
"Analytics and optimization" is where all the nefariousness goes down IMO, even if it's "for the user". When a site predicts things for a user, some users are delighted by the UX while others are put off by being spied on. So even in the "to improve our UX" case, it's up to the tracked to decide if it's nefarious or not - if they consent or not. It makes more sense to always prompt when using them.
Also, I'm seeing headlines like "Are Internet Cookies About To Crumble?" (not really, but you know how tech media is!) but I wonder how much longer cookies are even going to be relevant.
When's the last time you did this:
document.cookie = "username=John Smith; expires=Thu, 18 Dec 2013 12:00:00 UTC; path=/";
TLDR I think they're going away anyway, they're passe and it makes too much sense for Google to obsolete competitors by suddenly dropping them. GDPR calling out cookies is like the American law that bans "magic mushrooms" - they should have been more specific in identifying a specific unlawful behavior.
Upvoted for the good info btw (it just didn't do anything lol) thanks for sharing

#158I'll be honest, I have no intention of playing your game (I just don't really play PC games; if it were ported to console I'd probably play it), but I love supporting indie devs so I purchased it. It looks fun and innovative though!
Re: Show HN: Mazelit - My wife and I released our first game
#159hey... wondering why you haven't posted this to the Godot reddit?
I went looking for this again, and thought I read it there, but didn't find it until I went to steam and looked at my wishlist, then searched for it on the web :D
Re: Show HN: Mazelit - My wife and I released our first game
#160How'd you stay motivated enough for 3 months? Were you'll really that passionate about this game idea?
My wife was annoyed at not having released a game for almost a year and she set a hard deadline with the smallest game idea she could think of. It became fun when the game became playable and if we had to do it again, we'd focus on getting to that stage much earlier. The game was finished before the deadline, so we even had time to polish, balance the game mechanics against each other and add a touch interface for th…
Hi!
Why did you decide to go with Godot instead of Unreal or Unity?
Are you happy with your decision?
