What I write here looks at the big picture, but our real topic is building websites.Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTdesignWebsite DesignCommon DesignNiche DesignWebsiteWebsitesDesignPattern RecognitionHuman Visualhttps://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/combat-design-how-to-make-a-fight-feel-good/https://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/combat-design-how-to-make-a-fight-feel-good/Combat is one of the most important mechanics in games. Some games don't even have combat and still become huge hits — but if your game does have combat, it can go two ways. It can carry the whole experience, or it can quietly ruin it. Combat is a double-edged sword.Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTgamedesignhow to make good combathow to make melee combathow to make a gamehow to write a fight scenehow to make a game in unitycombat designcombat feelgood game designhow to draw battle sceneslevel designhttps://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/optimizing-tick-time-in-minecraft/https://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/optimizing-tick-time-in-minecraft/When I first started making Minecraft plugins, the tick loop wasn't something I really needed. The code I wrote usually didn't run inside the tick loop — it was mostly command-based stuff. But once I started building minigames and things like that, I realized something: optimizing tick time was a nightmare. I just couldn't do it properly. Sure, the plugin I wrote worked "well enough," but I always felt like *you'd be better off writing this in another language*. The thing is, tick time follows a simple, almost arithmetic line. Once you see that line and write your code with it in mind, you end up getting way better performance than you expected. That's what this post is about.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTminecraftcodingjavaminecraft optimizationminecraft optimization modsminecraft mods optimizationminecraft server optimizationserver optimization minecraftminecraft fabric server optimizationminecraft pluginminecraft plugin tutorialminecraft pluginsminecraft plugin chunkybest minecraft pluginswhat is tick speed in minecraftminecraft chunky pluginbukkit minecraft pluginsminecraft chunky plugin tutorialhttps://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/why-gen-z-stay-jobless/https://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/why-gen-z-stay-jobless/I am part of Gen Z. My ideas here are probably weaker than the work of big researchers, or of people who go outside and run real surveys. But I still have my own views about my country and about the world. This is a piece about why people like us can't find jobs, why we don't like the jobs that are open, how work is organized, and how resources are spent on people. Why can't we find work? And why are we so picky about it?Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTlifegen z job crisiscareer advice for gen zgen z career crisislife advicegen z jobswhy gen z changes jobsgenz entry level job crisisartificial intelligence jobsgen z work ethicgen z workplacegen z jobgen z workgen z in the workplacegen z workinggen z job marketgen z work habitsgen z remote workgen z work culturejob crisisgen z lazygen z can't find a jobgen z is lazyjob market crisisgen zgen z unemployment simulatorcost of living crisishttps://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/japan-trip-my-osaka-experience/https://blogsite-8up.pages.dev/blog/japan-trip-my-osaka-experience/I stayed in Japan for almost two weeks.

Space Invaders was the earliest large-scale video game competition held by Atari in 1980. It was the first known esports tournament with 10,000 participants across the United States. Nowadays, a lot of people play games for esports. Some games are even published only for the esports side of the sector. But “Why do people play unbalanced games when it comes to esports?”Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMTgamedesignesportsesports game designcompetitive gaminggame developmentesports mechanicsgame balancingmultiplayer game designesports industrygame design principlesesports tournamentsgame optimizationplayer engagementesports strategygame ui/uxesports communitygame testing
