The specular highlights on the gears appear to be independent of the gear image. Also, they appear to have a bump/normal map that responds accurately to the light source as the gear rotates. Anyone want to take a guess at how they did

However healthy "rejection" is is greatly overshadowed by how unhealthy it is to consider all human life as toxic.

After watching some gameplay of Turrican[0], which came out in 1990, I'm convinced it is heavily inspired by the NES Contra (1987). 0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7jP0qQgL-c

In what universe is being happy about the prospect of human extinction considered "perfectly healthy" ?

by daenz 4y ago
Are you saying that what makes you happy is the knowledge that everyone will be dead? Don't take this the wrong way, but that sounds extremely mentally unhealthy.

If Epic was charging 20% + upfront costs, it seems like Unity could have beat them to the punch with 5% and still stolen their thunder.

Isn't the heavy state intervention already here in the form of zoning?

Oof. In 2017, Hearthstone was bringing in $40M per MONTH[0]. Imagine Unity getting 5% of that. Huge missed revenue. 0. https://venturebeat.com/2017/08/10/pc-gaming-weekly-watch-ou...

Not every leak and leaker is the same. If a tool/procedure like that existed, it would probably be used on people who could generate positive public perception of their actions. Apparently the "vault 7" leak was centered arou

Maybe but that job requires a basic understanding of public perception, so they must know how it could be perceived, yet they did nothing to account for that.

I imagine it might persuade people to support Ukraine and pay attention to what's happening over there.

In my mind, there are 2 conclusions you could come to: 1) There is an actual plausible nuclear threat, or 2) There is some benefit to making people irrationally fearful.

As someone generally hesitant about regulation, I'm down with this. Markets can only function well when this kind of information is freely available.

Racism is bad because it is logically flawed, and the (im)morality of it derives from this logic. The logic is simple: individual behavior cannot be inferred by any prejudice against their group. From that, the immorality of racism is clear

I would normally agree with you, but the concern here is about information asymmetry. Workers can make bad decisions when they don't have a full picture of the costs of working for a company. I'm normally hesitant about regulation

I agree we can do better (and we will), but other than small incremental improvements, I personally have not seen a compelling full refactoring that would be objectively better yet. There's a lot of moving parts... the good of everyone

If that is the case, maybe there should be some regulation that compels employers to post full and transparent costs and actual incomes for its employees, all normal costs considered. Then workers would be more likely to make the decision t

Yes they are testing the boundaries, and I think they will be surprised to see the amount of pushback, bad PR, and probably legal action that they get when people can no longer access the content that they purchased.

My theory is that companies that jumped into the cloud content space didn't really think out long term what it means. It means hosting the purchased content forever, or providing a digital download for it if you no longer wish to host
