i mean, i haven't built an os. it's just standard archlinux with minor conf. my binaries will run, but they would regardless of the platform. i can't tell users to go into bios and turn off smt. i can tell them to boot an iso

building an archiso, flashing it, and then booting is very satisfying. [x670e][~/repos/WickedEngine/Protoverse/reboot-to-play][better-game][us-west-2][-][master] >> bash flash.sh /dev/sda 1224736768 bytes

the plan is to let users report bad engagements. when you lose a fight, you drop into replays without leaving the game. scrub back like in a video editor, and watch the engagement from the other players perspective. the handcam footage is a

to be honest, all of this would be worth it just to never have to listen to fortnite streamers whine about cheating/bugs/ping/serverlag/stormsurge/etc ever again. i understand why they whine, but i just don't w

possibly, depending on the gpu. wickedengine requires modernish gpu. spite was definitely a part of it. at a certain point while playing and watching fortnite solo build, i wondered why there are so many bugs and if i could fix them. i want

thanks! if the plan isn’t insane, why bother. ps5 can’t play 360hz and can’t use performance mode graphics. consoles are great, but esports will always be on pc. input cheats are common on pc and console, there isn’t a difference anymore. d

exactly! what we need is more power, and more mouse room. anyone playing fortnite ranked already has the needed hardware, and the motivation. if you haven’t won a solo build game on 1440p 360hz, you haven’t ever actually played a video game

kernel level anticheat is not enough. client inputs have to be trusted, and there is no provenance. the kernel has no visibility of inputs. i’m shipping a 100 player matchmaking game now. clients tick at 360hz, server ticks at 120hz. fair u

this is very cool! i prototyped a similar serverless git product recently using a different technique. i used aws lambda holding leases in dynamo backed by s3. i zipped git binaries into the lambda and invoked them directly. i used shallow

i used to write code like this[1]. now i write code like this[2]. mostly what changed is the way i read code. if err != nil is a friend now, not the abomination i first thought it was. 1. https://github.com/nathants/s4&

there’s two types of programmers: - those who’ve worked with go fulltime for a few months - those who haven’t looking back at the go i wrote in my first weeks after dropping python, it is very different from the code i write now. go is impe

work for interesting people, not companies. do lots of interviews until you get an offer and like your boss/manager/etc. working for interesting people is a joy.

it has never been easier to make games. libraries, frameworks, and vertically integrated stacks (consoles) are plentiful and of varying but generally good quality. it has never been easier to distribute games. steam, console stores, mobile

start interviewing. favor remote as it will help your mental. when you get an offer you like, accept it and resign.
