I wish people knew how insane the desktop stack is. It’s like 4 different runtimes of different versions and layers of layers of brokers. It’s a nightmare of components run by different teams

It’s kinda weird to even have that recommendation when PS5 and Xbox ship with 16GB.

literally survivorship bias. how'd "Bioware magic" work out for them in the end?

I agree with the redaction of the award thought, especially because they lied about use during production

I think this is a bit of an overreaction. “No gen-ai use in code” disqualifies anyone using Visual Studio as that’s how local offline Intellicode in-line suggestions and completions work.

Nintendo’s secret to becoming a design powerhouse? Developers who have stayed at the company for decades | Fortune “The people who first made Nintendo’s hits are still working at the company,” says Keza MacDonald, author of a forthcoming book about Nintendo.

I spoke to @fortune.com about my upcoming book Super Nintendo and the secret(s) to Nintendo's enduring success - a large part of which is cultivating and caring for developers instead of hiring and firing everyone in yearly cycles.

HAZE 1.1.4 is live, bringing orthographic camera support in scene view and play mode ✨

Time to make those isometric dioramas even *more* atmospheric 🌫

I have many thoughts about this and how MS handles Windows that I can't post publicly, but in the past bugs with your name attached to it tend to be bumped up in priority 🙂

sure, but I think for most people Remote Play or Steam Link for the living room is more appealing in that case?

My guess is that they will sell at a loss or it will be around $1000. I just don’t see how it will be different this time around or what this offers over any other mini-pc or desktop

Valve's support ends when the person running the project gets bored or gets fired 🥲

But really, people who care about that just get a gaming PC. I really don't see steam machines growing the steam user base like the deck did

Sorry, PS5*

I just... don't understand the gabebox. What's the *actual* market here? People who want a PC in their living room? A strict gaming-only desktop that you can't upgrade? Why buy this over a pre-built PC or an Xbox or PS4 (which has exclusive games)?

I'm not surprised. I still really want a spicy GDC roundtable that's just shit-talking indie publishers because there's just soooo much tea.

If they can't even reply to the IGF what makes you think they'll reply to that 1m+ sub streamer? Or brand who wants $$$ collab?

I’ve got 2 desktops (work, home) using this KVM with 2 144hz monitors, microphone, speakers, and like 5 USB devices. It works flawlessly and worth every $$ I paid. There’s nothing else like it on the market.

I was just thinking the other day that it'd be pretty simple to do this, thanks for figuring it out! Great way to save on memory too if you have a ton of icons

PSA: If you want to render an SDF texture using an Image component and Text Mesh Pro, you can!

You need to copy the SDF shader and make two small tweaks, which I've explained in a blog post here:

‘Jeff the human cat isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.’
Jeff the human cat:

there's a lot of similarities with software design too. we don't need to teach people how to move a mouse, right click, or drag-and-drop anymore.

making HL2 inspired Z-billboarded volumetric light shader in godot. love this trick for how stupidly effective it is for distant lights

QA, loc, music, “additional art and design”, those people work just as hard. Sweeping them under and saying it was just 3 people is insulting.

“Few contractors”? Fuck off.

30+ people on music, 18 on localization, dozens of voice actors.

It took 7 years and the previous title sold more than BF2042 did

“In the previous game, you used a single button for everything,”

“but this time we’ve added a second button. Unfortunately.”

he’s so real for this

BattleBit remastered outsold BF 2042, and it had much slower gameplay and gameplay systems like bleeding.

The market exists. There’s a lot of evidence players can learn complex but rewarding gameplay 🙂

BF6 thoughts: it’s….fine. I’d describe it as “COD but with more people and some vehicles”.

I’d love to learn why previous features got removed (ie: attrition system). Do features that encourage team play not playtest as well? Or trying to target other markets/players?

I’m not even sure what the point of health packs are given regen is so aggressive

I have so many thoughts about this, but yeah 100% agree. I just wish they’d add more feedback and rewards for helping teammates. They’ve streamlined it way too much.

game dev joys: discovering you can use the new customizer feature to make the entire cat lime green, turn them into a green screen and overlay a king gizzard video on there
