What's your approach to rewarding yourself for small accomplishments - completing a chunk of work, finishing cleaning the house, hitting your step count every day for a week, etc?

Reading the latest QC, I can only hope that @ass.golf is setting up for a "the whole Dang tech portfolio" joke in the near future. Unless it already happened and I missed it.

Unity has updated their DOTS Samples repository with two new documents: "Misconceptions about DOTS and Entities" and a performance checklist.

They are a great read and a first step towards undoing the misunderstandings DOTS caused.

API Docs Quality Week, December 2024 Unity is a powerful game engine, but that power is not very meaningful if you cannot figure out how to use it. That’s why one of the most important aspects of Unity is its documentation. There are a l...

Perhaps the difference now is that more of them actually get to the point of release, while before, only the folks who were particularly passionate - which tended to be people with new ideas - would make it as far as a releasable build.

Hi Tim! Who do you think is the most under-appreciated historical figure?
