I pity them for having to endure that keyboard buffering bug, just like I feel sorry for Windows users who don’t know how the game should actually play with proper animations instead of glitching.
You certainly do think a lot of things very strongly, don't you? It's funny to see arguments about the importance of avoiding doing things "wrong" from someone who is so incredibly committed to doing things wrong in regards to code. Then you wonder why your "fixes" haven't been merged in - it's because you haven't bloody well submitted them, have you? No, you insist on doing things wrong, but apparently things are only "wrong" if you think they are, regardless of... evidence, or opinions, or practicality, or outcome, or function.
I gave you the source code, just “submit” it yourself. I don’t insist on anything, simply trying to help you to help yourself, so in order to make the game better I only insist you must do exactly as I say.
Until you decide to start coding correctly, any and all "fixes" you make to the game to correct things you see as wrong are going to have a pretty limited distribution.
I am of course coding correctly, for I am me. It is your code that has some of the most heinous bugs, that has glitches and crashes, missing text messages, invisible windows, random freezing, non-working dynamic spawning, monsters not reacting to noise, inferior driving and targeting, ugly and incomplete lighting, missing night vision and weather effects, incorrect rendering, and stuff… which I fixed for you, made better, faster, more stable, more complete, smoother, prettier, and everything. I also gave you freaking code for music and sound effects. How amazing is that? And yet you are upset with me, for some strange reason. Go figure!
You are not the majority. You aren't even a real developer, since you refuse to work with anyone else in a real way.
[font=courier]I’m master developer, don’t you see?
If I were you I’d listen to me
I work alone because I’m super
And I sing songs like Garry Cooper
You really should hear to what I speak
If you like Cata and growing a beak
It’s naked truth, everything is wrong
What I don’t tell you or sing in a song
I know the best, it’s what I do
I see the future, I know kung-fu
Make no mistake, I’m right, you’re not
I’m super, I’m cool, and I know a lot
It’s so amazing, it beats the odds
More fantastic than the Wizard of Oz
My human friend, I’m so very super
It’s impossible I could make a blooper
My words are gold for young and old
Whoever is bright can see that I’m right
It’s quite sensational, I’m so inspirational
Like some angel of truth, oh that’s so cute
For knowing majority is my top priority
When my decision has such fine precision
I know the best, it’s what I do
I see the future, I know kung-fu
Make no mistake, I’m right, you’re not
I’m super, I’m cool, and I know a lot
It’s never false, what I say is true
Like grass is green and the sky is blue
Always remember, doom - pa - dee - dee
If you are wise you’ll listen to me![/font]
There, you see? Songs are always right. Are you convinced now?
Your opinion only matters insofar as you can convince people it does, and to be honest, you're doing that pretty wrong as well. (I can tell, by the fact that the more you post, the less convinced I become that you are right about any given topic. If your argument is failing to further your goals, you are doing it wrong. It's a pretty basic metric.) Worse, you admit that you're wrong - you state quite publicly, in the quote above, that you don't understand how people think and play, and are thus absolutely terribly positioned to make any sort of judgement call about this topic. If you don't understand any viewpoint but your own, how can you possibly effectively argue that every other viewpoint is wrong? It's absurd. It's admitting out loud that the only possible way you could end up right is purely by chance.
I disagree.
Suffice to say, if you're trying to convince people you are right, "chance" is not an effective argument.
I don’t care to convince anyone of anything. It’s enough people know and can see for themselves, for it is obvious that square is better and who thinks otherwise is wrong and should be put in jail. Admit it!
So I'm going to say this and make it clear:
The developers do not have to do your work for you. If you ever want to make an actual, real contribution, in the form of an actual, real pull request, your changes will be reviewed and commented on, and suggestions may be made as to what would need to be done to merge them if anything, and once it's in a shape where it doesn't break anything for anyone else or make development in general more difficult, it will be merged in, assuming it has any value.
What is preventing you to submit it yourself wherever you want and make whatever pull request you please?
Value? Break anything? Seriously? Just try it out:
Wonderfully smooth driving experience helped by enormously useful auto-shifting view, beautiful rounded lighting effects with gorgeous gradual fade-out ring, animated bullets, explosions and shrapnel, improved colors, enhanced night vision and weather effects… no nasty bugs, no annoying crashes, no ugly glitches, and I even enabled random NPCs to spawn all around. It’s like night and day compared to official release. Not to mention music and sound effects, it’s ten years ahead. Bla-blaah!
As long as you insist on doing things wrong, both in argument and code, your opinion (and despite your protestations, it is exactly that, an opinion.) isn't even wrong - it's just worthless.
Maybe you should try setting up a poll? An actual sign of popular support might do you well, if you’re going to continue with the argumentation route.
A poll, eh? Would that convince you?
