@doomspoons This seems to be an actual game which is hopeful

@kawauni_ I know professional studios still using 3DSMAX 2008. They build a system that works for them and never want to change it.

わざわざ古いバージョンの通知をするというのはどういうことだろう？ その辺でバージョンアップを止めている利用者も多いのかな？ 自分もクリスタをv1で止めたりフォトショをCS4で止めたりしてるし、わからんではないけど。 v4.2は大きく変わったところだし、v4.1ならなるほどだが？🤔

@KatDoes3D Honestly, I'm sceptical that anyone has come up with a framework for planning successful games. Game design is generally the study of existing games, which in itself has already exploring old and stale ideas. It's much better to study game development, the process of creating.

Hello, actual game designers. Wannabe game designer, here. How do I pursue an actual understanding of game design? How do I learn more for real? The last thing on EARTH I want to do is form gamer opinions, and I'm super interested in design. Where do I start? 🩷

@hybridherbst @sea3dformat @threejs Does it require the meshes to be instanced?

Casually rendering ~a hundred million triangles, in the browser. All thanks to @sea3dformat's cool Nanite-style renderer for @threejs. I've added GLB-to-meshlet and PBR rendering to it, very exciting to see where this is going!

@ma1ybe But it's the same outcome?

Hot take but we literally tried to warn you that this is what happens when abortion access isn’t accessible.

@SebAaltonen How much of this is reusing existing algos versus novel techniques?

AI asset with our remeshing + high->low poly UV workflow versus a heavy simplified raw AI asset. So much nicer and the new asset LODs further. Only tens of UV island instead of thousands.

@justalexoki Whether it's true or not, it's impossible to know if it's actually vulnerable free. There may already be millions of programs that are in such a state.

was talking about this the other day. there should be a perfect state where software is just vulnerability free. right? or am i stupid? if so, it seems like we might actually reach it soon? is it possible?

@sama Medical care I think has the largest possibility for human improvement!!!

what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future? maybe we can help!

@Duderichy They should make better original music then

apparently many orchestras are now spending 1/2-2/3rds of their seasons playing soundtrack music and they hate it

@gaxrav Why would something so infinite (the cartesian plane) ever confine itself into finite beings (x^2 + y^2 = r^2). A universe may be infinite but you don't care about infinity-1 of it.

why would something so infinite (god) ever confine itself into finite beings (humans).

@0interestrates You're probably not a good coder. AI code is more appalling than what it writes.

why do people (including me) have an aversion to AI writing but not as much to AI code? if a piece of text smells AI i stop reading it but i use things coded entirely with AI every day

At first I felt FOMO that my workplace banned AI usage. Now I'm grateful.

@tomfgoodwin It also ensures the world REMAINS built for humans. Effectively it means we will retain backwards compatibility with tools, machinery, vehicles etc.

I’m still confused as to why we’re making robots that look like people rather than making them far far far far better at doing the things we need them to do. It’s like we’re making animatronic horses not cars with wheels

@pollosos01x @PositivFuturist I'd love a whole cow everyday 😂

@SimonNordon @PositivFuturist 150 grams of protein a day? Why not 20 milion?

The best way to defeat liberals in argument is to argue from the left of them. $15 minimum wage, why not $100? Asylum? why not open borders? They have no principles they can call on to limit their own arguments.

@TruthFairy131 The outcomes of a system are the purpose of a system. The government wants this.

CASTLE LAW NOW 😡 Donnybrook, Melbourne. January 2024. Three masked criminals armed with axes storm into a family home in the dead of night. Inside was a pregnant woman, terrified and pleading for mercy as she was attacked in her own bedroom. Her partner did what any decent man should do - he fought back. And hard. He disarmed one of the invaders and stopped the threat before his family was butchered by this gang of animals, villains who had planned the attack in advance with masks, weapons, and fuel cans. Unbelievably, he was initially charged with murder. How have we sunk this low and this ‘woke’ ? Let this next part be said clearly. The only people responsible for what happened that night were the criminals. They chose violence and terror. They chose to invade a house occupied by innocent people, including a pregnant woman. I have absolute sympathy for the homeowners whose sense of safety will likely never fully recover. They are the victims. As for the intruders injured and killed during this pathetic escapade - spare me the public mourning. Violent home invaders who enter homes armed with axes should fully expect they will be buried. And never allowed to leave. This is not tragedy, it’s consequence. Every Australian has the fundamental right to defend their family and their own life against violent predators. No law-abiding citizen should ever have to face prosecution for refusing to become another helpless victim of armed criminals. - Domenic Strangio.

@pcgamer It's obviously a pay to review game.

Mixtape is at the center of another tedious culture war discourse, and I think I know why pcgamer.com/games/adventur…

@mushroomfromgd I knew someone who would takes the windows key off every keyboard they used, because they hated windows so much.

do linux users call the windows key by its actual name, make up some bullshit, or still call it windows key

@BonesawMD They can produce bad code 100x faster now, that's all.

The point is simple We keep hearing about this 10-1000x in productivity – yet all developments seem completely lateral. I have repeatedly asked for ONE single example of this inhumane exaltation above human quality. A single uber-high quality product from this 100x productivity that would've taken a dedicated autistic coder 10+ years in their basement to make, but made in around 1 year with AI assistance. Show us. Stand up and show the class. Entire comment section is a vague "you know nothing jon snow" rebuttal - not a single example. There are zero. zilch. There is nothing. AI is not even close to the level you think it is. Silicon valley marketing.

@designcoursecom Seems more like a B2B situation. Sell to bars and clubs.

I've dedicated months to a project that might be entirely a wasted venture. The pool projection thing is a very big ask for each customer. - They need a pool table. - They need a suitable projector mounted above it - They need a suitable camera mounted above it - They need a PC with a GPU - They need to train a model on their balls in their environment Even if it goes no where, it's alive in my studio and it's by far the coolest thing I've ever built, and it's going to turn me into a monster pool player.
