If you've ever posted something to the internet pre GPT, then that content is part of an ever shrinking data set of "guaranteed to be to have been created by a human".

@VideoGameHstry None of the above

What was the best game from 1998?

@gembia2 Unity gets a lot of hate but it gets the basics right. Exporting to any platform is easy. TextMeshPro is fantastic. And the asset store is the best thing for an indie developer ever.

really hate how when you can tell how a game was made in godot because of how Bad the buttons system is and how Terrible the fonts look and how Abhorrent everything in general is

@Mr_BenPrime What's crazy is that due to time dilation it becomes easier and easier to get to further stars.

"Interstellar travel is impossible." No. What you actually mean is it takes too long for a human lifespan. That's all. That has no bearing on the feasibility of getting assets/payload to another star system which imo is an entirely different conversation and entirely possible.

@OliLondonTV I don't know why people expect celebrities to be dancing monkeys for them. Nothing he did in this video was out of line. I wouldn't want to deal with even 10% of the shit celebrities have to deal with out in public.

Russell Crowe loses his cool with fans waiting for autographs. “Stay where you are, don’t f***ing push in on me. I’ll come to you! Give everybody space. As soon as somebody’s a d**k I’m gone.” Source: Hush Magazine

@JesterJum Not in Asian countries.

The close door button on elevators is placebo. It hasn't worked since 1990 since the ADA requires all elevators to remain open for at least 3 seconds. Did you know that?

@CheriDiNovo Countries like Thailand have the only functional health care system I've seen. Truly free market and the prices reflect it.

The USA is THE ONLY G7 country that doesn’t have Medicare for its people. Yup you can be sick in Canada and not go bankrupt.

@PurpleColonelSP I built a nice custom arcade cabinet and by far the worst aspect of it was the software. Emulator front ends are all ass.

retroarch is a deranged emulator man why does it have all those nasty ass menus that are impossible to navigate

@trashh_dev This is how you do it. Fuck iPad gaming for kids

i suck at teaching how to play starcraft

@Pirat_Nation You gotta be pretty stupid to believe this.

Game developer Thomas Grové from Studio Interrupt recreated the same horror game in both Unity and Godot to compare the engines side by side, and the results were surprisingly one-sided. The project, a retro-style horror game called “Eyes Never Wake,” was built in both engines under the same conditions. According to Grové, Godot performed better in most areas affecting everyday development. >The engine started much faster, scripts compiled dramatically quicker, exports finished in seconds instead of minutes, and the install size was only a tiny fraction of Unity’s. >Godot launched in about 13 seconds versus Unity’s 80 seconds, and exporting took around 2 seconds in Godot compared to nearly 15 minutes in Unity. >The developer also found that Godot delivered stronger lighting and atmosphere, showing how much the engine’s visuals have improved.

@Yuchenj_UW It's kind of depressing isn't it

Can’t believe I coded by hand for 15 years. 15 years of memorizing syntax, Vim, Stack Overflow, broken builds, cursed dependencies, merge conflicts, and “one last bug before sleep.” All of that just to end up typing “fix this” into a chat box and watching an agent do crimes.

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R I feel this. I decided to make my own game engine for fun one day and started off with Vulcan. Big mistake.

@TelepathicPug @ArtJazd Wait. You can use ipconfig now?

@ArtJazd `ifconfig ...` don't you mean `ip` grandpa

Still using `shutdown -r now` like it's 1985! Just typed it, like always, in a root console and wondered, "How old am I, LOL?"

@Mascobot Mac only is 🤡

People are sleeping on Codex computer use. It’s pretty neat

@WAVArchive I can't listen to this. The nostalgia is almost painful

Tristram – Matt Uelmen (1996)

@IronRealms Outwar is still going. 25+ years now.

Text RPGs have been around since the 80s. Most people think they died with the dial-up era. We've been running five of them continuously since 1997, and we're still adding to them. Free to play. No download. #MUD #TextRPG

@samhenrigold Get an Nvidia Shield and you're good to go.

tv software is the great equalizer. you could buy a $200 walmart tv or a $2500 LG and you’ll still get ads in there and a hard button on the remote to some streaming service that won’t exist in a year

It doesn't matter how noble a system is when it is first given to the public it is a certainty that over time it will be abused.

@sopranosrewatch Just pushing around on the plate?

nothing better than eating like tony soprano while watching tony soprano

@nymph50d4 Consent culture final boss

i fucking knew that was trying to get people to criticize real art - ive said it before and i'll say it again, sneaking meat into a vegetarians food without them noticing isnt a flex its a violation of their consent

@romanhelmetguy We didn't know how good we had it

Troy was so good. But you have to realize people at the time thought this was a B movie. The Lord of the Rings movies had just come out. Gladiator was only a few years old. Pirates of the Caribbean was the year before. We just thought movies would be good forever.
