I feel C is a good primer for the basics. Python is a good idea if you just want to something running quickly, it's my go-to scripting language. But I feel if you really want to understand the nitty gritty of how a program works, C is really good because it doesn't abstract too much while still allowing you to write some higher level things like functions and structures how you want them to.
I've been there, don't do this to yourself. What you experienced is getting hit with a wall of things you don't know, with tools that are not made to be intuitive. It's kind of like staring at a woodworking table and feeling like an ignoramus because you can't figure out how not to make your fingers part of a chair. Just don't.
I mean, this just totally depends on the course or book you are reading. I feel a gentle introduction to C will naturally start with just learning to write simple functions, without any dynamic elements like allocating memory. Then you go learn arrays, then to pointers, and so on.
I would imagine it is because their scale and force is relatively small. In Greece we've had several small earthquakes in 2020 and a pretty big one in October near the island of Samos which resulted in the death of two teenagers. A girl and a boy were walking past an old abandoned building when the earthquake hit and caused the collapse of a wall.
Thank you for the kind reply. I'm aware of the unfairness of my post toward myself, it's just depression speaking. It would be cool to have a goal, a skill, a future. I'm increasingly aware that my time on earth is limited and I would really like to turn my life into something decent. Bonus point if I could tell the social worker that handle my monthly income to go fuck herself and her 'contract'.
That's a good point, my introduction was pretty much my face smashed into the wall of it because education system gotta go fast. I still don't think that the logical reasoning of "you need to know how it works before moving on to abstracted things" is all that sound because by that token, there's a lot I wish I'd known about assembly and registers and things of that nature.
Motivation is something that's hard to grasp, I can certainly see that that's something easier to maintain with a higher level language like Python.

Same. I just finish the game and change the tag on my library so I have no idea how many games I finished this year.
On performance, absolutely. My point was that, maybe it's just me, but all this carries the implication that you need to know the entire monolith, that verticality of knowledge before you are allowed to take a single step. That seems like a motivation-killer for me, but I am also a person who realized programming wasn't for me because I liked creating, not engineering. Logic puzzles aren't as appealing as telling a story, so I can see my own bias here.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly on this., but it's a separation of concerns here. Modern game engines allow a lot of people who don't care about programming to make great games. And this is good. To design and create great games is a completely different skillset from programming, and I hope tools get even better so that people with a very different background than Computer Science can more easily explore the medium.
Absolutely, and to be fair, making games is an exercise in torture and masochism in that no great solution exists for everything and you need a monstrous experience (and love of the craft to support you) to even know what call to make, and the price of failure is always paid in torn hair and caffeine.
Yeah but you don't get to start out at mediocre, let alone skilled and incredible. You have to be terrible to get there.

It's a fantastic saying because it shows how humane getting there is, that it has nothing to do with talent or any sort of elitism.

Yeah I agree, I am the same, I always think I can't possible manage something because I'm not good at it directly.It's a fantastic saying because it shows how humane getting there is, that it has nothing to do with talent or any sort of elitism.
However, for a depressed person, it's a bit horrible because 10 000 hours sound like mount Everest. Source : am a depressed person
I was considering getting it but I heard it was hard to really get into solo so I just bought Star Wars Battlefront 2 instead. My friend who used to play it loved it though, But he wouldnt play it alone.

Hunt is one of my favorite competitive shooters in a long time. The boss designs are creepy, one particularly so, and each provides a unique challenge if you manage to find them. And I say 'if' because while your primary goal is to collect the bounties from the bosses you'll also potentially be stopped or stalled by other players trying to do the same.

The RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090 are still hard to find. A shortage favored by strong demand, excessively long production cycles and the global pandemic, which does not make things easier. Good news how…

The two Kidman DLCs are excellent. The other one is kinda weird and can be skipped if you aren't digging it.

Word of advice, NEVER EVER trust news coming from a spanish source if they're dated December 28th
)Same here. Looking at the list of games I finished this year, the majority is indie or AA.
