This is a lame post. It was clear what the OP meant: in hot trouble for not doing the job. And technically liable vs. otherwise wasn't even the main point of the post. Assume best intentions and avoid nitpicking. Also the Q&A format comes off as a little condescending.
It is pretty great and I use it daily, but there are some questionable things... Like how we can't Alt+Space+N to minimize a window anymore. That has been a hotkey on every Windows and Linux OS since forever.
Simple arcade-style game. I ran out of steam developing this. The gameplay and UI need work, but I thought the graphics were interesting. All the units are rendered as Mandelbrot and Julia sets on the GPU. Parameters are varied in real time to make the fractals look like they are moving and swimming. Another fun thing is the audio effects were made with an electric guitar. Thanks for reading :D
You might get some more eyes on your game if you released it on Itch. It seems to me that it would fit better with the gamejam scene than general consumption.
With my amateur game design hat on (discard if you please):
I think that the game could be much improved with a drum track to make playing the game feel more zen. I get the vibe that it isn't a game that you "play" but more of a time killer.
It would be extra cool if the audio effects could play in time with the drum track, too. The player could be composing a song as they play.
> if you don’t have a loan history, your score isn’t low enough that you can’t get an apartment
This is not true. Many places will deny an applicant for zero loan history, effectively forcing people to get a credit card in order to obtain housing.
That never happened to me when I came back from China (unable to get a credit card for 9 years because I didn’t have a Chinese ID card, so no credit history within the 10 year window they keep track), nor did it happen to my wife, who obviously didn’t have any history as a new immigrant. We didn’t have problem getting a rental with proof of job/income. And without the job/proof of income, even with 10 credit cards, many of these places won’t rent to you regardless of your credit rating given eviction laws.
I get it, there must be some place that denies rental based on lack of credit history, but I would guess it is so rare that you’d have to stretch really hard to find an example.
Correct, but a nitpick: it's not quite an issue (as the parent said) of the score being low per se. From my own experience, in the time when I had no credit history, when I went on annualcreditreport.com or the alternatives, it would happily tell me that I had a credit score of 720-740, but any time I would apply for an apartment, or even the most usurious credit department store credit card, I would get rejected.
So yes, the lack of a credit history makes you look artificially like a bad risk, leading to rejections, but not because the system reports you as "normal person with low credit score" -- that would actually be an improvement!
For those who want to know, I eventually got out of the catch-22 by following up with the service department of a financial-advisor-affiliated credit card, and answering some questions like about employment history.
