It sounds like you’ve already got a curated list of games - what are a few standout multiplayer that you enjoy that meet your criteria?

I’ll start off - when knockout city, an excellent dodgeball “shooter” closed shop, the devs released the server hosting code so the community could still play

Jesus that’s chilling…

There’s no “requirement” to do anything.

People fall in and out of the public eye. That’s a fact.

CCP can wait until someone falls out of the public eye to do something about an unwanted individual. That’s a fact.

Sure, if you think it’s your responsibility to save any such unwanted individual, you can interpret what they said as “you need a lifetime commitment”, but I don’t think that’s what they meant.

It was an observation, not an accusation for a personal failing.

Multiple people are calling out that the mine planet wasn’t at 80% liberation while the child planet was at 45% - are you sure you didn’t check another planet by accident, or otherwise mix up your numbers?

If you just take a look at the memes the community made you’ll see that they’re all focused on Helldivers saving the kids, which is further evidence that you might’ve gotten the numbers wrong.

EDIT: I haven’t used this website before, but this dashboard shows that marfark was at 0% liberation until yesterday. I’m pretty sure you’ve gotten your numbers wrong initially. I think when you checked and the planet had 74k players, the liberation had RISEN to 39%, which is supported by the dashboard plot of marfarks liberationb& the timestamp of 2024-06-15T02:45:04Z shows 76k active players and around 40% liberation, steadily rising up from 0 before.

Yeah, there was a reason why there was a ton of “save the children” memes…

I think a day ago it was 40% kids planet and 0% mines, but I didn’t make it a point to remember. I want to say it was 7k players on mines, and 25k on kids.

Bruh my reading comprehension…

Not sure if it’s obvious from this comment, but also worth pointing out to folks learning about unraid that it still has parity drives that let you recover from disk failures - it’s not just JBOD.

I wonder why FAANG companies don’t all do that.

As an American dev, you should check out other silicon valley salaries. After hearing what some folks there make 190k doesn’t make me bat an eye.

Ah, I was referring to maintenance as in the software development you need to do to maintain a competitive service for 15 years. Something like Google play wasn’t just “set it and forget it”, it’s continually been updated. That falls under r&d.

No, I just meant how many software engineers you had working under you. I’m barely transitioning from doing pure development to also being in charge of managing some projects, and the one thing I learned on this end is that engineers are expensive :)

That’s actually hugely helpful! It’s a wide customer base, and there are multiple device types. That’s pretty big! Folks now know that you at least have dealt with something in a similar vein as the Google play store. Are you allowed to say if it was spun up internally or vendor provided?

Even though you could have answered your own question with this, here’s what I believe the difference lies: did you feel like I was gatekeeping you when I asked for more details about your experience?

Hey man I have a docker compose file that does everything so we Gucci. I’m basically Google.

So just to get this straight, you are arguing semantics, because you are excluding software development from research and development. I have no strong feelings about that, because I work exclusively in an r&d shop so everything I do is r&d, so I’ve lost sight of where the line is drawn. Seems silly though.

Additionally, you are citing your personal experience developing what you claim to be a similar system yet you haven’t shared details that can be used by others to confirm your experience is comparable to that of setting up and running the Google play store.

Is that right?

See the latter part is what suggests to everyone else that you’re not qualified to be contributing to this conversation. Share your experiences to convince folks you know what you’re talking about.

Or, I guess we can do things your way.

“Do you actually know anything about software engineering?”

See how much more productive one way is than the other?

Right. Typically you’d sus out whether or not they’re qualified to speak about these things by listening to what they have to say instead of immediately implying they don’t know what they’re talking about asking them to confirm their qualifications, but maybe you just handle social dynamics differently.

Curious, since you’re comparing what you created to the play store, how many staff did you have working on your version, and how many years have you maintained it for?

Lmao unnecessary gatekeeping attempt.

My only issue so far is that it can be difficult to find a particular post if you don’t remember which community and instance it was on, afaik there’s no search across all posts in all instantiations.
