Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Turning 30 for me was disappointingly boring. I didn't even freak out like when I did when I turned 20. Being a teenager mostly sucked and yet for some reason I still got really depressed when it ended.
30 isn't so bad because you're just 30. When you hit 31 you're now "in your 30s" which is way more depressing.
Typically I only override if it makes sense logically. Going "Apples <= Oranges" does not make sense, for instance.
Though I'd expect to be able to do something like this logically "fraction x = 2"; and have it output something like 2/1 internally.
They are the same data (just in different formats). I think I'll keep the explicit cast though so it's very clear you know a conversion is happening behind the scenes.
