Did you ever ask for honest feedback on the rejected applications? It could give you some useful insight in what is turning people off. Speaking from my own experience, I know many employers would prefer to decrease the amount of remote wor

OpenRA is the only thing that really works for an ad hoc LAN party on whatever laptops we have with us when we get together with the old crew. We join over public servers, so we skip the classic LAN curse (spending an entire day getting it

It is possible, but right now it still takes quite a bit of time and effort to get it right. The main challenge is finding the right balance between "make something that looks exactly like this" and "put it in a completely di

As a game collector and conservationist, I can only hope cloud gaming never becomes the norm.

It is not the same as trying to mimic a style. It is cloning the essence of a style and making it readily available to anyone who asks for it. Sure, it's not copyright infringement, but you could argue that this takes away from the har

That's not how it works though. Instead of applying arbitrary content detail reduction, the model is an attempt to distill the core of what makes a particular artist (or phrase, face, object etc) unique. When programming, it will often

Big fan of the straight line missions. Really cool how they make you experience common landscape from an entirely new perspective. Tom's a trooper.

Try "tatters" for some truly horrifying imagery. That nsfw filter needs some work.

No, it is not. Making these models generate interesting images requires you to learn something that is almost similar to a new kind of language. As soon as you start to automate this process, for example by adding some default attributes li

That's exactly why I enjoy listening to foreign pop music: I cannot hear how vapid the lyrics are. But besides that, great music does not need to spell it out to convey meaning and emotion. If the appreciation of a foreign song keeps g

As a kid I had to learn at least a little Basic (mainly GWbasic), so I could load and play games. But things really took off when a cousin borrowed me his "Qbasic for beginners" book. Code printed out in a popular hobby science ma

At the time I had already translated it thanks to the "EXIT" signs in Keen 1 or 2. It was such a cool optional in-game side puzzle.

The original games used frame by frame handdrawn pixel art. This is tweening and morphing sprites, which creates a very different look and feel. The choice makes sense though, as creating handdrawn animations for today's resolution and

The target audience is mainly retro fans, not children. I'm not crazy about the choice myself. It makes the animations look awkward and unnatural. I suspect it's a huge time and cost saver though.

Not owning any Apple products myself, my only option was a free online emulator to try and fix a bug on older iOS systems. It did not support console logs, so I was trying to debug using alert() as far back as yesterday. It didn't help

That is a good example of an over engineered solution. The game already has a far simpler way to make it easier for all players to get started, regardless of how many turns you play. It might be from one of the expansions, but we use it in

Up to a degree. There is no real comprehension here. Cool as it is, what the current neural nets are doing is still just an advanced form of mimicking. Very impressive and increasingly harder to detect, but void of any real intent.
