Even if they do repeat 3 (and I kinda feel they will,) it'll have a cliffhanger too. And I'm okay with that.

Good point. Does anyone know an animator? I'll write some promotional material.

Andrew Wilson is reportedly being considered for Disney's top job. It's a big move in the entertainment world, with potential ramifications for fans of Pixar and Marvel as well as The Sims, Battlefield, and Dragon Age

I will give respect where due: I like the sweep button. It's handy for me personally, as someone who is on several email lists that are public-facing. That's about it.

Every attempt to help me automatically is a pain. Like most things in this vein it never learns what you're trying to do, only what they would do in a given scenario that's vaguely like ours.

What kind of lazy ass article is this?

It's a post listing software, and why the writer feels it's useful, for people who may not be as knowledgeable as you, I guess.

The tools because OP is also lazy

OP is the only person to even share a post to this subreddit for two months now. And considering content creation pays my bills, I like the idea of people getting a few clicks to their post if other people are interested enough to want to know the contents of the post. So, it's less about being lazy, and more about a difference of opinion on willingness to support and engage in business models I don't love. That's all.

But hey, feel free to vote it down. That's kinda the whole point I guess.

Every little bit counts. And finding ten people (especially out of ten) who agree on anything is pretty impressive. Congratulations. I hope this does well for you.

I remember reading columns saying soon, when multiple cores become common, compilers will thread your program for you...

Nah you're good. I'm absolutely going to suggest we give Warframe a try. And if we get off of Warzone, maybe I'll end up moving sooner rather than later.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

hah, respect, but I play Warzone with some cousins who are on console. (Actually I just searched, and I didn't realize Warframe had crossplay now! I might have to at least get them to give it a shot, thanks for the mention!)

That WOULD be a fraction of the cost of a new PC. But given my current one is a 2017 build with a 1080 in it, I'm really hoping to make next year the time to free up some money for it regardless. But I do appreciate the thought!

I actually used Mint for about a year a decade ago, and really liked it then. What made me switch back was the gaming. That said, I hear gaming on Linux has just gotten better and better; just like people in this thread are saying. Whenever I get around to putting together a new PC I'll probably either dump something Linux on this one or dual boot myself. Sadly I don't expect Activision to really support it. But hey, Lord knows I've been wrong before. (And yeah, printers are often kinda universally assholes though; that we all know.)

Y'know GPS didn't even enter my mind. Hell, depending on GPS 3 accuracy (isn't it supposed to be in the centimeters?) my talk of signals is completely moot. That measured against a map of roads on a server somewhere would probably let you download an entire map of nodes toward your destination. Along the way the car just measures against its current location and does the math for obstacles. Great point. This is why I ponder shit out loud. Thanks.

I'd love to make the move, but there's a one-two punch of: I play Warzone with family. I think anti-cheat there is only going to get worse. Second? I already get caught with the fiddly bits of errors on Windows sometimes and spend too long searching for answers. Any time I see that on Linux it looks like I'd need years more of active learning new problem solving to reach my current level of comfort.

I'm at that "is it worth planting the apple tree now that I didn't plant 20 years ago?" thinking.

Hi everyone, I'm Jeff.

You may have noticed there's been more posts here the past couple of months*. They say the grass is greener where you water it. I'd like there to be a viable alternative forum for gamedev conversation aside from the r/gamedev reddit. I have a lot of respect for the work the mods have put in over the years, and love for that community in general. But a lot of us are here because we're not fans of Reddit the company, or we have a general disdain for a monocultural Internet. I want us to have options, and this is something I can do to help that. So let me know if there's anything I can do to help this community or help you. You can help too, by submitting gamedev stories/posts you think are interesting.

About me: I'm a hobbyist with a long time interest in game development and the video game industry. By day I work in local news, so my interest in news/journalism is also pretty high, and (*)sometimes my schedule is screwy. But I asked for control of this community a sorry time ago , and I hope I do right by it. You can help by posting things you find interesting as well. If there's something in particular that could be arranged that you think would benefit a forum such as this, let me know!

And remember, if you're a Mastodon user, you can follow this community on there, at [email protected], and any replies to posts will show up here as comments on that post!
