Not quite the same thing, but the Blizzard game Overwatch is scripted in a state-machine based visual language called "Statescript" that has some similarities to this.

Worth noting that even though the Logitech G502 looks very gamer-y, when you actually hold it, it feels like a G502/MX518.

This is great! Out of curiosity, it seems like you've presented this anonymously on purpose (no credits on site, username is gridentio, etc), just wondering why that is?

You could easily make the opposite argument: what right do you have to not bring another life into this world? After all, the vast majority of humans alive right now would rather exist than not exist!

Cooking is what, 1 hour a day? And it's something you can often involve your kids in, same with the other household errands (let's say that's another hour). That's 14 hours gone. We still have 34 hours left. So basically

The kids spend 70 hours sleeping and 40 hours at day care... That's still 58 hours to spend with their parents. That's plenty of time! Nevermind that the kind of unstructured play with other kids at day care is exactly what young

A large part of the reason it doesn't cost more is that a day care working can watch 5+ children at once, whereas a parent is probably only watching 1-2 kids.

Because then each individual line would really look hand drawn, since that is what this look is all about.

You don't think having much more battery production capacity or a massive network of superchargers is a significant advantage?

Yes they do. Not sure what numbers you're looking at to say otherwise.

Yes, your impressions are wrong.

I used centralized cloud sync notes (Notion) because it works well across all my devices and I have to spend zero time maintaining it or otherwise managing it, it just works (and improves over time without me doing anything!). I am not worr

It kind of covers this in the article, but the theory is that by actively memorizing these things you become a better programmer because you have more tools at your disposal (and more knowledge about exactly how those tools work and what th

You didn't mention the building. The building is what sets the gameplay apart and makes the game absolutely fantastic from a game design pov. (I say this as a professional game designer)

You missed out on the best part of Fortnite, the building. It's an incredibly unique, strategic, and skillful mechanic. No other competitive game has anything that is similar at all. I think they kind of came into it by accident but it

You are wrong, Epic has given away skins for free in the past, including letting people get an entire battle pass for free just by completing a bunch of in game challenges. You don't need to pay to stop being a "default".

Tesla and SpaceX are already both massive successes at this point, which wouldn't change even if they both disappeared tomorrow. They've already proven themselves.

It's easy to pick up on lots of little things, but this is still extremely impressive. It's also more than good enough for people who want to practice singing/playing over the song by themselves. I think the next step would b

Not even sure what you're trying to say here. Of course he's going by his own personal moral code.

He's always late with his estimates (aren't we all), but he sure is determined to deliver eventually. I'm not always a huge Musk fan, but I don't understand this kind of criticism at all. Going to mars is something the h

Looks like Scott McCloud worked on this. I highly recommend his book "Understanding Comics".

I loves his new collection of a short stories, some are better than others, but overall there are a ton of unique ideas on display. The Merchant and The Alchemist's Gate is such a great time travel story in particular. I didn't en

I love seeing posts about level design show up here! I did a talk at GDC a few years ago about puzzle game level design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSUu_36SmlQ

Are you sure you understand the situation? The buyers knew up front that this was just a trial, there's nothing underhanded here.

It's not because of that, it's because it's the next big free game on Epic's Game Store next week.

Yeah but they've already said they need to raise billions not millions. It's a completely implausible cap.

This is technically true, but these days using anything other than C# is strongly discouraged.

Anyone who calls Fortnite a clone of PUBG hasn't played Fortnite.

Good article but I gotta ask why it says "indy" in the title and then "indie" in the article itself? Using "indy" is so obviously wrong.
