It’s the problem with this whole Unity crisis. Every other engine out there is… small. I have a 50+ person team with a big open world game and I’m basically fucked into accepting whatever Unity wants. I can’t just switch engines with four y

I have an open world game I have to make run in 1.3GB of RAM for my min spec. I just can’t see a world where I could do it in Unreal. And unity knows that and is trying to get away with murder.

It’s quite the stretch to call this a game engine, rather than a tech demo for clever locking strategies.

I guess it serves as a reminder that anything is possible, however (extremely) unlikely.

I’d bet money this VP hoped he’d get retaliated against so he could file a lawsuit and get some easy cash from a company with enough of it to pay him off. He works at Salesforce, what did he expect exactly.

And.. gasp maybe some super talented people actually miss connection with other people!

You assume my issues with full-remote stem from a leadership failure. That's the insult. I've been making games for 15 years across three companies, two of which ended up full remote. I can judge the effectiveness of a team, and I

You need to resort to insults to make a counterpoint?

And maybe work is getting done but the quality, speed, and creativity are suffering immensely. I don’t require my employees to be in office, and given that 60% of my team is non-local it’s not an option anyways. Given a magic wand I would 1

I’ve seen it in the business world, but trust is everything and if you break it once even accidentally good luck. When crime enters the picture you probably won’t ever get more than a single chance, or worse, be in physical danger if you do

I'd love to see studies generalized to video games as a whole. To me it seems that any activity that actively flexes the brain should result in similar effects. I'd much rather play Factorio or Xcom than chess, or shudder , cross

We’re so lucky out here in the west. Practically infinite access to nature. Contrast this to Maine, which despite being enormous has next to nothing for public land.

Anyone know what the state of the art is/will be for panel lifetimes? Efficiency is great, but I’d sacrifice some if it meant 50+ year lifetimes of 85%+ peak output.

I've found the other planets to be the real PITA that got old quick. Biter asteroids in particular. I love Space Exploration, but when you hit late game man it starts to get tedious fast. I've gotten to naquium and the higher end

Depends, if it’s code calling a console SDK API then you are bound by terms of the NDA to not publicly share it — forever. Even just function names! More realistically, a drop of source code is basically painting a big target on your compan

It’s no better in smaller studios frankly. Best bet if you want balance is to not work in games at all and then make games on the side. Edit: I have a US-centric viewpoint and I can’t speak to other countries.

The game industry is much more cutthroat and high stakes than it was a decade ago during the indie explosion. Many of the indie darlings from that era would be lost in the noise now, and the quality bar expected of even an indie game is ins

I’ve been a bit surprised that Nvidia hasn’t gone to extreme lengths to fit 1tb of memory on a card just for this reason.

I always found it borderline useless for fiction before. OpenAI's obsession with avoiding anything "dark" and trying to always steer a conversation or story back to positive cliches was difficult to work around. Unless there

Reminds me of Robocop 2 when he has a thousand prime directives installed and can’t do a damned thing after.

I agree. I've been going since 2010 and it's much harder to hear something new -- and I don't feel it's conference quality. The biggest challenge for an attendee is the roll of the dice if the talk you go to will be qual

My wife does product lifecycle management and development, and it’s been fascinating watching just how hard it is to actually make and sell something physical. Her company’s products aren’t even electrical, but require complex textile work

Aggregate stats are nice when it comes to presidential, but we still have a bunch of reps like Boebert who cause havoc in DC.

Big fan of my Y, but you aren't kidding, the suspension is truly awful when you compare it to something in the same price category like an X3.

Well, we're a very polarized red/blue state, a tech hub, and the source of most of the water for the entire southwest.

* Greg Egan’s short story collections, Diaspora, and Permutation City. Fair warning, Egan puts the “hard” in “hard sci-fi”. * Haven’t finished the Expanse final trilogy, but I really enjoyed the first two. * The Wool series * Project Hail M

Oof, got access to the 8k model recently and was wondering what costs would be on the 32k one. That's brutal.

They’re expensive simply because people will pay that much.
