ACTION refreshes the Kandria page to check that there are, indeed, only three hours to wait...

What is it that is going to happen, and that must happen at such a precise moment?

Shinmera's game launches
11:18:02
beach
I don't know what it means to "launch" or "release" something that requires such a precise time.
11:18:17
Shinmera
It means the game will be available to play.

Preferably in the other order (:

Shinmera: Why not do that when it was ready?
11:18:57
Shinmera
Because marketing requires a hype cycle.

beach is obviously channeling Shigeru Miyamoto: a late game is late once; a bad game is bad forever. But that was when games came on hardware cartridges. (Not that I expect anything other than greatness from Kandria, which greatness will only be enhanced as improvements are made available in the standard constant-update cycle of modern software.)

If y'all got a HN account I'd also appreciate upvoting it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34338629

best to navigate to HN and then find the article and upvote
14:12:02

I heard just clicking the link directly can cause HN to shadow slow down the post

I'm tempted to ask on hn whether it runs on mezzano ;p (upvoted)

Shinmera, congrats, too. So, obvious question: how do you deal with gc pauses, if any?
14:31:34
OlCe
Shinmera: Congrats! Seems impressive. Keep up the good work.
14:31:47
Shinmera
Fare: by not generating too much garbage and having a fast enough pc
14:33:27
OlCe
The best garbage is the one you don't create... :-p
14:33:56
OlCe
But still... I had the same question.
14:34:21
hayley
I make CONS CONS its arguments out of spite.

Fare: Have halved pause times by using a parallel GC, but pauses are infrequent and already not that annoying IME.

Shinmera: is the soundtrack released and my steam client is acting up or is it not?
14:58:11
jackdaniel
it seems to download now so either you were very quick or it was indeed acting up ;p
15:13:29
Shinmera
Yeah the distributor did not release it for some reason so I had to manually click the release button
