- pawelduda 2y agoI see. Pretty cool, I love finding gems like this
- nathants 2y agoit has never been easier to make games. libraries, frameworks, and vertically integrated stacks (consoles) are plentiful and of varying but generally good quality. it has never been easier to distribute games. steam, console stores, mobile app stores, or a binary in r2 behind a cf worker. it has never been cheaper to run game servers. ovh metal is $100/month for 1Gbps unmetered egress and 4 fast cpu cores. it has never been easier to learn to code or to learn a new lang. gpt4. it has never been easier to run a live tv show about gaming. twitch, kick, yt, or nginx rtmp to cf r2. it has never been easier to join or create an async community. discord. hardware has never been better or cheaper. while this has always been true, it is a factor. 7800x3d 7900xtx 1440p240 is an insane build, especially as a first pc. people are building and streaming and gaming 24/7 and it’s amazing. what will be released tomorrow? what is being built today? who just decided to learn to code and will code daily for the rest of their life? can’t wait to read about it and watch it live in the morning tomorrow.
