The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

I just gave this a spin and wow!

It's incredible that after all these years to just boot up doom and immediately start having fun. It's simply so cool to have an incredible game and amazing community around it like this.

Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing:

I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com

Today, I finally fix that.

always felt the Kung-fu mod for max payne had some great swarm moments and pulled this off well with the existing mechanics. Never saw any kind of followup from later games.

If there is - someone please let me know before I reinstall ✨

Here's an #indiedev top tip for you all:

Don't get Norovirus 3 days before your intended release date.

That's it. Have fun 🫶

Updating my store assets 1½ hour before #Steamnextfest went live, was totally the right decision. 👩‍🍳😘

Why make a menu 2D when it can be 3D!

Didn't work on A:I but have worked on projects /w similar workflows

Oversimplification, but they mostly use realtime lights, reflection probes and light textures. As the probe's area is limited, the cost was manageable. Using actual light sources is key. Used a custom engine with all this in mind.

This game by @bering.bsky.social is having trouble finding it's audience (I reckon it will closer to Xmas) and I think it looks really well made?

Can we help an indie out and get it infront of the right people?
Which streamers and indie game fans might like this?
