   I really enjoy the storage strategy for EnTT. Other ECS games I had known the architecture for were a lot more rigid in terms of space, and it's nice to see more flexibility in that aspect.

   Phaser 3 (and its predecessor Phaser 2) provide helper code for managing object pools[1]. I can imagine any non-toy project takes advantage of pooling for speed when it can. [1] https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs&#x2

   I think this has been discussed in other threads here, but from my understanding Nintendo 64 emulation has been a little shakier than other consoles.

   Is It true that Amazon’s internal chat tool doesn’t have as much support for “fun chat” stuff like stickers and emoji? I’ve been hearing along the grapevine.

   Reading your comment really affected me just now. I work in the video games industry, and since entry-level positions are quite competitive (video games are quite popular with younger folks), people make a lot of decisions to take a focused

   Hmm, yeah, I can see what you mean about a car giving a little more independent space. I guess it's the fact that I could get off whenever I wanted? I could look on my phone or listen to something without having to worry about driving

    Tokyo can get pretty crammed, but I always feel more like cattle on a crowded highway than I do on a crowded train.

    I wonder how many $1000 MacBook buyers would actively prefer a $700 version with MacOS.

    I think it comes from that the rule is titled "Do not let your children do anything that...". The language states to restrict the child's agency if you disagree with it. I was fortunate enough to grow up with good parents, bu

    If we're doing YouTube critique of JP, it should at least include ContraPoints' bath scene. Otherwise it kind feels a bit toothless.

    Exactly. There's a pretty wide spead of phenomena we like about video games. I think that's why I suggest a relationship via interaction as a cover-all.

    I like the structure of Mark's definitions, but I think it wouldn't define products like Neko Atsume, The Beginner's Guide, or Minecraft as video games. I think we generally consider the aforementioned to be video games, so i

    I don't think action that delivers satisfying results is defining a video game. I think it's a relationship formed from inputs and audiovisual responses, like I mentioned. Paratropic isn't really a game about satisfaction and

    I've seen a lot of comments or responses from people saying that Animal Crossing's mechanics are unfulfilling or "pointless", but I think they're missing the spirit of what makes them enjoyable to a lot of people. I

    I don't think any video game has a meaningful reward loop, and I say this as a game developer. What makes a game's loop good or not to me is if it provides a fulfilling relationship with its audience.

    I'm not sure if you saw the interview on Polygon [1], but I really liked hearing about doing the first Tekken port from arcades to PS1 and dealing with the newer memory constraints. [1] https://youtu.be/XB0mgLo9lEw?t=12

    I’ve been programming professionally for about five years as well and I feel the same way. The culture’s emotionally exhausting, and I feel like I’m feeling more and more dull to career growth. I think I’m simply going to have to find ways

    It's good that they're picky about which WebRTC implementation they use. I've found that Google's tree isn't necessarily the best sort of thing for streaming video games. I think Parsec's R&D into the situa

    I make games as a hobby, and while I'm often paid to write C++, I'll use plain JavaScript with various libraries (Phaser, three.js, ink, etc.) as iterating is very quick and distributing is as well. I don't think it's a

    I think you're right that some things, such as integer addition, are quick and don't require a lot of thought, but a lot of teams leaning to C++ stems from larger-scale performance considerations that aren't one-size-fits-all

    I get the impression of Democratic Socialism more than Communism in the United States. It's not hard to understand why young people now seem fond for FDR/Eisenhower New Deal policy compared to the post-Reagan world they live in to

    I think the industrial design of the Switch has a very smooth “fun per minute of setup” and I think that’s a big edge it has for families with younger children. Or, a user doesn’t need to set up a computer and install a digital client like

    I think it’s more that the commodity smartphone technologies were used “laterally” to make a game console that can be played portability. Or, smartphones have been iterating on graphics chipsets since the 3DS was released, so it seems sensi

    Interesting, most examples of toxic masculinity I see are related to machismo when it hurts men and those around them. Wikipedia [1] seems to consider masculinity toxic once it is considered “harm”. I’m curious if you have sources about it
