My theory with a lot of these games that “released badly and then come back” is everyone who disliked the game stopped playing and everyone who liked it kept playing so the crowd playing years later had a positive opinion of it through self selection more than anything the devs did.

I personally liked both Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky on release, and while they are better now, I don’t see the night-and-day difference the internet would make you think happened.

Game looks neat but do the devs know what “mirth” means? Weird title.

“Anti-pornography” specifically means “anti-LGBT” to them.

I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.

Having lived on both coasts, I think the “kind but not nice” thing is something people who are actually neither say to feel better about themselves.

What is the “executable” in this context? I’m kinda confused as to what you are looking for.

What’s wrong with parsing the input files at runtime? Is it performance? Do you want one file to load instead of multiple?

Many have suggested pickle, which is kinda what you are asking for, but on some level it’s not much different from parsing the input files. Also, depending on your code, you may have to write custom serialization code as part of getting pickle to work.

Note that pretty much every modern game is a bundle of often multiple pieces of executable code alongside a whole bunch of separate assets.

I do think the voice acting is god awful in a lot of places in the original.

The OG version is still on GoG! Includes all of the original DLC but none of the new PSN bull.
