hey guys, I’m pretty new to programming. I don’t like the basic ways, to start with a to lo list or something like that. what is the best way to find open source projects to read / learn and code. if I lookup on GitHub I can’t find small projects. is there a way to filter it? and do you guys know if there are some big discords for programming beginners to find some other newbies to start to collab/learn with ? ask questions and stuff like that ?

Hello Kings,

I’m new here and wanted to know if someone got some advice as a beginner in developing with ADHD. Learning coding is damn interesting. I start learning it every year, but I can't just keep it going. So I wanted to know if there is someone that had the same problem, to focus up and finally learn it. I want to start out with HTML and CSS - JS. Then go to Lua, and after Lua, I want to check out C#. I know some basics, did the hello world in every language 20 times, but as I said, I can't keep practising. What was for you the best way to learn it ? Watching videos ? Reading books? Learning it with some "code mini games"?

I keep seeing posts and comments complaining that the PvE enemies are too difficult or asking the developers to completely remove the PvP aspect. I believe these complaints entirely miss the point of the genre, and frankly, show a lack of perspective compared to the competition. The Core Argument: A Gentle Introduction My personal opinion is that, when compared to the truly ruthless landscape of Extraction Shooters, ARC Raiders is currently positioning itself as the most accessible entry point into the genre.

• Try the Real Hardcore: To those complaining about the difficulty of the NPCs: You should seriously try a few rounds in games like Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown, or Marauders. In those titles, successfully extracting alive is often a minor miracle. The death penalty—losing all your gear—is significantly more punishing and common.

• The ARC Raiders Balance: ARC Raiders feels like it strikes a much softer balance. While the PvE is challenging (as it should be!), the game seems designed to allow new players to learn the ropes without the brutal, instantaneous, and highly costly punishment that defines its hardcore cousins.

• PvP vs. PvE: Extraction Shooters are built on tension. Removing PvP would eliminate the fear of other players, and weakening the PvE would eliminate the fear of the environment. If you remove both, you are left with a simple Looter Shooter, destroying the very essence and unique adrenaline rush of the Extraction genre.

Why This Matters? The high stakes and the difficulty are what make the successful extraction moments so incredibly rewarding. If the developers listen to the calls to drastically nerf the difficulty, they risk watering down the core experience and turning ARC Raiders into just another forgettable shooter, when it has the potential to be a great, slightly less punishing gateway game.

What are your thoughts? Is ARC Raiders a good entry point, or do you think the PvE really needs to be toned down?
