there are other communities like: https://cs.stackexchange.com/ but don't know how friendly they are toward begginers.

My home was programming.dev. Moved onto PieFed because it lets me add keyword filters so I can mostly browse without the LLM discourse. You better believe I have LLM, Claude, vibe-code filtered out. Even AI, although it does mean I'll have filtered out cool stuff from 2019 about how video game NPCs make decisions and other types of cool artificial decision-making that are not what is getting all the discourse.

    I've started saying "NPC behavior" where I used to say "AI".

    The state of the internet and how people talk to each other there is so bad that I thought you were talking about changing the words you use to snark at people (since people use "NPC" as an insult, although I have seen a different meme saying how it's genuinely nice to be an NPC just worrying about what sandwich you'll have for lunch instead of having main character worries). Took me a bit to realize you are genuinely just talking about changing your words when honestly speaking of a video game.
