I'm a software engineer who develops games and XR using C#/Unity and JavaScript/WebGL (while increasingly Godot-curious). I wrote the book Unity in Action!

@FlawedSpoon @Qualcomm lol this screenshot is from my FAQ so kindof a joke? but for the record A) I only have an master's degree not a doctorate; and B) while I worked for Qualcomm recently, I don't anymore.

@JoeHocking has a doctorate, teaches at Universities, works for @Qualcomm, wrote three editions of Unity in Action and his website on mobile looks like this. This must be a clever joke. I love it. newarteest.com

@tranz_schubert huh, what is your evidence for this? Maybe there's something more recent that I missed, because the last "political positions" survey I've seen did not look like that at all.

You put a female protagonist in a video game 20 years ago, no one cared and was fine with it You make a female protagonist in 2024 and people start crying cause their favourite incel youtuber told you it's "woke" and you must hate everything keep getting gaslit for clicks losers

@KudosOnYT I wonder how the anti-woke crowd would react to "Noone Lives Forever". Not only was the protagonist female, but your very first mission was protecting an incompetent but important man.

everything except the best titles. these are the exceptions, not the norm. these will be the games used as training data. when you say 3D rpg, its likely going to grab BOTW or darksouls. again, this is amazing tech and all you want to do is hate on it. if hating on ai werent popular you wouldnt even be commenting on this shit.

people keep saying "every pixel will be generated" but nobody can ever tell me how this is an improvement for video games. games that can't guarantee full game consistency and intentional design. don't sound or look appealing to play in any way.

@KidKozo @ZealotDKD @GeorgeCrudo well that's not exactly true. The executives in top management are excited about the possibility of making games with fewer staff. Nobody else in the industry is excited about this.

@ZealotDKD @GeorgeCrudo Not a single person in the industry is excited about this, its literally only a hyper specific subsect of people with a niche interest. You're entire lot could stop playing games tommorow and nothing would change, same for development

@ZealotDKD @Coffee_AliVe_ @HeraldOfBelakor @GeorgeCrudo Everything pee-2014 was full of slop too, you just memory holed the bad games coming out and only remember the good ones because those are the ones you played when you were a bright-eyed child and knew nothing but wonder Games didn’t get worse, you just got bitter

@MaxieJaxn @benjammin4ages @acahoon2 @BadMedicalTakes They aren't saying that everything is older than discovery, just that things can (and often are) older than discovery. I mean, even in that case SARS already existed for a while, it's just the CoV-2 variant that was new.

@benjammin4ages @acahoon2 @BadMedicalTakes Do I have this right? Everything that is newly discovered, existed before the discovery, be it gravity, autism, or the Amazon River. Except SARS CoV-2. That one was entirely new. Never existed prior to the computer model output called “discovery.”

Sugar is sugar! There is no health difference in eating HFCS or Cane Sugar. It's just that most western diets have TOO MUCH sugar. High-Fructose Corn Syrup is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Cane sugar is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Both are metabolized the same way.

@fgraffagnino @Meowfurian @tylerblack32 In the sense that first going +2 (ie. a subsidy) and then -2 (a tax) nets out to zero. But in terms of interfering in the market, yes that's what I meant by "influencing behavior".

@Meowfurian @tylerblack32 @fgraffagnino eg. a game design example is that players like being rewarded for not doing something too much, but hate being punished for doing it too much. even though mechanically the exact same thing is happening

@Meowfurian @tylerblack32 @fgraffagnino They amount to the same thing in a fiscal sense, but they are very different in a "vibes" sense. And when it comes to influencing behavior, vibes are actually super important!

@Ryan_Gasoline oh man this story is reminding me of the bit in Catch-22, where the doctor had to explain sex to the couple trying to get pregnant

@oimoiya @Ayegill As I recall, other gangs even started tinting their meth blue in order to piggyback on that reputation and fool junkies.

In Breaking Bad, Walter's ability to produce extremely pure meth is a major plot point. Do meth addicts really care about the difference between like 98% and 99.5% pure meth? Can they even tell the difference?
