Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. The last barrier to entry to someone who's trying to explore game making with Unreal has been removed. Thank you, Epic!

They did way more than that. They removed barriers to entry. Unreal becomes available for exploratory actions now. Before there was a $20 entrance fee just to try it out, now I can play with a project for free. You can use it for demonstrat

Why the condescension? Did you even read the top comment in this thread? The whole point is yes, some people do in fact perceive black in that picture. Because color perception is relative. I find it funny that the HN crowd is arguing over

People who develop on Unity: How does Unity compare to Unreal performance-wise? The only experience I have with Unity is playing Kerbal Space Program which is often a performance nightmare and I'm wondering if it's Unity or the ga

You just articulated all the issues I have with these frameworks (Backbone is another one that comes to mind) - the boilerplate code violates the hell out of YAGNI, which for me is a core principle of my development style. You end up buildi

Sigh. The title made me think this could have been a great article, but it was just a puff piece about some reactions of women to finding out that photos get retouched. No examining how photoshop alters our view of reality, no thoughts abou

We're just in a period where the pendulum is swinging the other way. It's really fashionable to be 'into' Nikola Tesla, to think he was wronged by history, and to think of Edison as nothing more than a ruthless capitalis

It's not BS and you've laid out why. There are games and software on 5.25 and 3.5 disks that we can't access now. Even if we could, the software was written for a world that doesn't exist anymore and we've have to w
