People often mention that half of exercising is finding something that’s the right fit for you. Or, something that’s easy to start doing and stay consistent with. I’m not expert, but I think home cooking is the same way. I’d suggest finding

As a Canadian, I think a big part of it is that elections (both federal and provincial) can often be battles for the suburbs surrounding metropolitan areas. Suburbs often end up being kingmakers (see 2015, 2019, and 2021 federal elections o

The video's worth a watch! It's really interesting to hear him talk about the history of the various machines, especially with respect to Eastern Bloc economies/culture. Sad that the museum is gone now, though!

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on a different alternative, given you probably have better insight into the game's difficulty than I do. I think fans appreciate a sense of "fairness" [1] from Elden Ring and i

I really appreciated a GDC talk from one of the designers of _GoldenEye 007_ who was very critical of auteur theory. [1] He seemed very understanding of the multifaceted nature of big games. [1] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v

I think the punishing elements of the games would be a lot better received if the larger enemies and bosses weren’t as tanky. Or, I’ve noticed a lot of frustration (that prevents the eventual sense of achievement) comes from having to compe

I sometimes wonder if UI/UX passes on open-source tools would be better with very explicit "experimental forks" that keep with upstream when they can. Over time, the successful fork starts to get more traffic from regular use

Hey sorry, for the late followup. I was getting compile/link errors related to Google Services dependencies. I think this is one of those situations where it's GPL-licensed, but not necessarily the most accessible.

I found the source code for the synth here on GitHub[1], but it doesn't look like they advertise it on their site? It seems to be compiling/linking fine on Pop!_OS, but I had to do some apt trial/error to ensure the right pac

It’s really interesting to hear your performance issues with QuickJS there. I found an opposite sort of performance profile (few small values on the stack, shallow stack size) with lots of calls back and forth between C and JS worked really

For what it's worth, the existing game console hardware at the time was the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, so SSAO really would have been ROI back then.

For a lot of indie games, it's not uncommon to see the game soundtracks available for download on Bandcamp. Part of me wonders if they could potentially integrate soundtrack bundle downloads with the Epic Store a little better.

Super cool to see the paper! Given that some of the authors are in Montreal (a large video game development hub), do you think you'd ever continue this path with primary research?

I don’t know how DOTA 2 works, but if it follows the same “command-determinism” model that typical RTS games do, then the sort of cheating found in first-person shooters might not apply. It’s a big reason why a lot of people continue to pla
