Conspiracy theories are easy answers because they lack the nuance of reality and they present an attractive narrative. There’s good guys, bad guys, underdogs, secrets, etc. In contrast reality is full of grey areas, requires a lot of thought, will make you empathize with those you thought you’d blame and vice versa. Facing facts is hard work.

Do you guys not have phones?

I hate the “too late” discourse. Best time to curb emissions is the past, next best time is now. The fastest we act, the better off we’ll be.

I have this nagging feeling that this posture is just preparing public opinion for geoengineering, the last grift before collapse. Maybe its cause as well. Oh and fatalism is going to help undermine current decarbonizing efforts too, so win-win for big money.

I wonder how much they’ll charge for it.

Oh that AIDS. bruh

What does “live service AIDS” mean?

That just sounds like any normal day on Twitter. I feel bad for the community managers that still have to put up with that dumpster fire of a platform. This little flame war does nothing to my impression of Godot engine. To be honest I’ve been more worried about reports of rampant bullying.

Pathfinder Kingmaker & WotR are such strong titles in most aspects, but in both instances the mini-game they tacked on top of a perfectly fine RPG got on my nerves. Kingmaker’s management sim and WotR’s Heroes-of-Might&Magic-like army battles felt to me pretty rough around the edges (and ultimately tedious), especially compared to how engaging the rest of the games are. Ugh, I love-hate them sooo much.

I’ve only played the two first entries so far (Trails in the Sky FC & SC) and I’ve found them be fun JRPGs. I’d recommend starting by the beginning.

Have you played the Trails series?

The gaming industry has treated their workforce very badly and yet they are still attracting the best because it remains a “dream job” for many. I remember reading somewhere that the same kind of thing happens with airplane pilots.

Despite the corporate crust one has to deal with when playing a Ubisoft game, I do enjoy how hard they go on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. The seemingly endless flow of bigoted tears that follows is priceless.

I hope you work in a field where worrying about your integers hitting larger values than 9 quadrillion is justified.

The JavaScript Number type is implemented as an IEEE 754 double and as such any integer between -2⁵³ and 2⁵³ are represented without loss of precision. I can’t say I’ve ever missed explicitly declaring a value as an integer in JS. It’s dynamically typed anyways. There’s the languages people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

Floating-point arithmetic is important to understand at least vaguely since it’s a pretty leaky abstraction. Fortunately, we don’t need a “✨Member-only story” on Medium to get acquainted with the underlying concepts.

That’s a 1 month old thread my man :P

Not sure what you mean. The thread was created August 16, my comment was made August 21, and now here you are replying on September 24. Some fediverse hiccup maybe.

So anyways I don’t have anything a cursory search wouldn’t turn up.

Ugh, the suspense… When will we even get to know what the accusations are about? Is this Japan or Kafka’s Trial?

The real punch line is the time you wasted along the way.

The ploy to rake in money has backfired as Unity revenue has dropped 16% and now the money people are backpedalling. I agree with you that the damage is done and it’ll take much more to build back trust with the gamedev community.
