@nileshtrivedi @ID_AA_Carmack @michael_nielsen I believe he means optimism in regards to their own pursuit.

@ID_AA_Carmack @michael_nielsen How robust is this evidence? Many builders are after all motivated by the negative attributes of existing things. For example, Satoshi created Bitcoin because of the negatives of Fiat money. How optimistic were they really?

What's the deepest discussion of the *harms* caused by secure messaging platforms, by one of the *creators* of those messaging platforms?

@RheezzyOG Oh no way!

@jtoresson This isn't THAT far from what's happening on Steam. The amount of GOOD (I know, subjective) titles releasing every year isn't increasing at an alarming rate IMO, not compared to uni projects/asset flips/beginner work. Its competitive, but I don't like the sentiment of dread.

@JoeyPla I mean, if the top 5% are the only ones who make enough money to keep a smallish company alive then it's grim no matter how many new devs come in imho.

This is brutal, but necessary, information.

@jtoresson I know this is an extreme example, but if I inject 10000 extra game releases and have them all make $100, I exaggerate the inequality between bottom and top makers.

@jtoresson The latter seems more relevant, and more true; titles from 2023 are also competing with previous years. I'm not stoked about the stats, all I'm saying is that for a particular skill-level of developer, percentiles changing don't matter much.

@merlino_games Such nostalgia. My favorite level in the game. And Fett my favorite boss fight. So happy you posted this

What game am I playing here? Wrong answers only 🤣😅

@RobinVanina If you're working on a project for people who lack vision, you can cull everything, and if want the big savings, scrap your render loop completely!

Fellow devs, what is your #1 game optimization tip? Like this one thing that was an absolute game changer for you 💪 Share it below 👇👇 #gameDev #indieDev #UnrealEngine

@MrZulubo Congrats man, I just got into the first one. Such a bright future ahead of you.

now 2nd most popular!

Enemies with frontal shields prevent you from doing damage straight on. You have to either switch your gravity to get 'under/over' them, or, as seen at the end, you can change their gravity instead. I thought this was cool and has some potential. #gamedev

@RaccoonGameDev @thomasbrushdev Naw. It would push me even further down into an abyss of despair, while it withers away along with everything else I couldn't finish.. and my competence.

@thomasbrushdev On the other side, making a steam page will motivate you to finish the game right?

Thoughts?

@thomasbrushdev Ha! That's bang on.

@Love2Code youtube.com/watch?v=9A5TVh… This one goes over things I found not to be evident at first. Things like doing your clipping properly in clipspace pre w-divide or following rasterization rules (which if not handled, you get holes between triangle edges)

What is the best tutorial that you know of explaining how to implement a software rasterizer?
