@WalterBright Unless you follow a very academic–like regime while self-teaching, this is widely true. It shows. There are few exceptions I know but this is true for most of them.

Degree vs Self-Taught: In my experience, people who are self-taught or who learned by experience tend to have odd gaps in their knowledge. For example, the Shazam app. I knew right away it must be using Fourier analysis. But if one was self-taught, one might have never understood what the point of FA was, or even have been aware of its existence, and instead used kludgy, inept methods. For a personal example, I was once given the job of taking the graphic display on a CRT and mapping it onto a printer page. The addressing was different, the axes were different, the pixels/per inch were different. I knew what the tool was - a transformation matrix. Had it ginned up in an hour and it worked first try. A co-worker was completely baffled at this. He didn't know what a transformation matrix was, and likely would have otherwise spent a couple weeks on the problem and done a crappy job. I.e. one doesn't know what one doesn't know. The advantage of an accredited degree program is the curriculum is selected by people who know what you need to know, and the order in which information is best presented.

@the_duriel I wish the drag and drop defaults for ctrl dragging didn't include all this other stuff and just put the damn things in quotes. UID's are awesome to use as references, you can rename and move things around in the project to your hearts content. I'm a fan.

Love the UID fearmongers crawling out of the woodworks when yet another major version releases without catastrophically deleting their projects out of nowhere.

@walaber Everyone's happy but the wife coming home from work and wondering, "What happened to the curtains Gregory??"

Ok I think I have an idea for why you are cutting/stitching the cloth in my new game! Does it make sense? #gamedev

@NickGenFailed 🤔

I was labeled as a bot.

What? So if I don't buy I'm labeled now? :/

@walaber Always the best feeling.

The moment my cloth simulation physics puzzle prototype became interactive

@NickGenFailed Woot!

@KoltPenny @clemmygames Wait you don't mean Symmetris do you?

@clemmygames It got whipped in an SSD corruption! But it'll be back soon I hope.

You're not marketing your game enough

@KoltPenny @astrodanish "I told you I implanted a chip in my skin for you! What is it you don't understand?!?!?!"

@astrodanish dumb but cool

kept forgetting my badge at home so i implanted it into my hand

@KoltPenny @XorDev

@XorDev Unity happened. Only then, people realized that Godot was good enough for game jams.

GMTK shares the engine usage. In the last four years: Unity from 61% to 41% Godot from 13% to 39% GM from 9% to 5%

@KoltPenny @DanielW_Kiwi

@DanielW_Kiwi It's the most hireable language. How is that not trendy and overrated?

Hot take C# is deeply underrated and should be more trendy

@KoltPenny @SmashBro64

@SmashBro64 She is.

“Why is Pauline the only one who can speak?” Has anyone considered the fact that she’s the only human in a game full of animals?-

@xslendix I don't think I can make it.

If you're unable to write a makefile, are you even a real programmer?

Ah. Peace and quiet. Waking up on the Jersey shore…♥️

@KoltPenny @TrungTPhan

@TrungTPhan This reminded me of obscure internet lore.

absolutely wild that Apple’s social media intern didn’t proofread the Liquid Glass YouTube thumbnail on all devices

@KoltPenny @Jonathan_Blow @rfleury Our new "Cataract" vision is revolutionary.

@Jonathan_Blow @rfleury From the perspective of design, it looks great. Glass does look "classy". From the perspective of usability, it's off-putting and confusing.

…do they just not teach about information theory & color in design school anymore or something?

@LordCognito @ChrisRGun @bradleyellis87 @DustinCanFly @LastStandMedia I can't believe you guys got to meet Pedro Pascal!

Always great to link with my LSM fam @ChrisRGun @bradleyellis87 @DustinCanFly We had to Summon Sacred Dukes;)

@KoltPenny @MissSassbox I was using a steak knife this whole time. Imagine my embarrassment.

@MissSassbox I want to become a millionaire and go to the fanciest restaurant there is, order rice, and eat it with a spoon like god intended.

definitely forcing everyone to do this next time we eat rice and turn it into a competition

@mreliptik Wait, you're real?

😭 😭 😭
