Blueprints, or node graphs more generally, allow people to encode programmatic logic without needing to learn the syntax of a programming language. If they can read a flow chart, they can implement simple (or not simple) functionality witho

It's very funny to read the highs and lows from "not a car guy." The big secret about modern cars is that a new Camry is roughly on the quality level of luxury cars from 10-15 years ago. As you spend more, you get more, but c

Anecdotally, I've purchased several new CDs over the past 12 months because I bought a used car that has a CD player and I CBA to set it up to work with my phone. Given that the used car market is undergoing an unprecedented boom, I wo

Would you want to work for a company that goes out of its way to avoid states with worker-friendly laws like the Colorado's wage disclosure? It seems a pretty clear sign that they will try to screw you over. There are plenty of compani

This should be fairly obvious? There have been myriad occasions where we have collectively discovered that certain "facts" are not, in fact, facts at all. Given that the reality of reality is beyond the grasp of certainty, a platf

To me, this seems like Sony investing in a studio (and property) that has game-as-a-service title chops. MMOs like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14 create a steady, predictable stream of income. While Destiny 2 doesn't have a mont

So are you defending drunk driving because it helps people get to work on time?

Anything to avoid changing the status quo to reduce emissions. Honestly embarrassing.

Well, I'm a gameplay programmer and I seem to always be busy somehow, so idk maybe you need to play different things?

I've been working in games for the better part of a decade, at AAA scale for the last three years, and this is pure fantasy. It is extremely difficult to develop high-quality games for a console, which has fixed hardware specs and a si

Has there been any data to show that financial literacy education improves results? My understanding was that starting with capital is much more important to financial success than coursework.

It's crazy to me how expensive it is to live in LA compared with how little i see new construction. The magnitude of the issue really crystalized in my mind when i was talking to a friend who lived in Tokyo, and he mentioned he was pay

What does it matter if you have a manager, or your manager has a manager, who will approve or disapprove a new disinfo policy based on whether or not it affects specific political groups? A fish rots from the head.

Yes, this is the different between utilities and other forms of business. If you think everybody is entitled to cloud compute resources, then your argument holds water.

do you not understand the difference between power being cut and needing to build your own servers? AWS cloud isn't a public utility.

This is what happens if you build a platform on somebody else's platform: you're subject to their whims. Any and all people who make their living off of YouTube understands this, and they intentionally diversify so they have optio

This is pathetic, and I would be embarrassed to be a Facebook employee after what has transpired over the past 5 years. Extremely too little too late. The damage has already been done, and done, and done. Over and over again. Journalism is

Extremely bad take, from somebody who has clearly not worked in AAA games, but believes all the things that gamers post on reddit. A few points: 1) you can only test-driven-develop so much in games, and that line usually stops at the engine

Fortunately, I am blessed with friends who have already made the jump, in many different directions, so I have firsthand testimonies of the pros and cons of moving to a variety of different countries. Japan sounds nice.

It feels like I live in a country where every level of government is unbelievably corrupt, but also completely unfixable. How are you supposed to address the sorts of issues that lose $200,000,000 of state money if the people who try to do

It's difficult to view this as a rushed launch when the game was originally scheduled to release in April, and has received multiple delays, supposedly to fix the last remaining bugs.

Porting games that have successfully run on multiple platforms for years to new hardware is different than non-functional console ports of a PC game. Doom and witcher 3 run reasonably on the switch, which is arguably not true of the console

I found this very interesting, and it seems a similar thing is happening to Intel in the DIY/gaming space right now. For a long time, the Intel i5/i7/i9 were the processors of choice for gaming, but AMD's Ryzen line has

The problem with a federal corruption investigation is that the people in charge of the investigation need to not see themselves as being on the same "team" as those doing the suppression.
