I feel we're at the peak of peoples being completely incapable of forming their own opinions on things from their own thoughts, they just take bits of what they think is public opinion about something and smash it all together into something so incoherent it’s impossible to even discuss

Someone on twitter tried making to me the point that cutting grass with your sword in a video game is pointless but your character randomly putting their hand against walls just because you're near them is fun and a cool detail. Wasn’t even a stealth game or anything, just automatic wall molestation

Silk Song discourse

Generally that’s because they’re less interested in doing something really weird and more interested in being upset & having a """justification""" for it

Video game discourse is dead everyone is either an entitled asshole or a religious zealot defending a "creative vision" they don't actually know. Ppl can't express or take criticism anymore, everything is just gonna get worse for the next few years

I doubt he intended it like that but so many arguments online nowadays are peoples deliberately miscommunicating their point and then dunking on peoples for not getting it and now half of the discussion around the anniversary is that

Like genuinely how can you fault peoples for thinking the video game content was gonna be what it looks like. About 10% of the ppl who claim it was obviously not real believed that before toby clarified. The only thing resembling a hint was the logger dialogue

Love toby fox but now we got peoples honest to god claiming you're dumb if you expect accessible video game doorways that look like any other video game doorway to have something behind them

Death of the author should be a thing for video games. No more mentioning the devs’ vision or creative direction everytime someone says anything negative about a game

When you think about it silk song is modest Kill la Kill

I was born mid 2000 and still got to use tapes

Okay, to put an even sharper point on this: they are not even 9 months in and they are openly censoring *Jimmy fucking Kimmel* because he poked fun at the president for lack of empathy.

These are desperate moves.

They are desperate because they are weak and people are naming it.

In a roundabout way this is a deltarune reference

Half of every flying enemies in silk song

"...no evidence presented of a desire to terrorize the public, inspire widespread fear, engage in a broader campaign of violence, or to conspire with organized terrorist groups... targeted and discrete killing of one person - is very different from the examples of terrorism set forth in the statute"

I'll keep repeating this as long as I have to:

My right to exist as a Black person is not something that can be overlooked, nor is it up for debate.

Starting to look for my next opportunity, I'm a Tech Artist who loves pushing the rendering side of things, with 13 years of #UnrealEngine experience, skills in Lighting, Lookdev, Cinematics, HLSL, BP, PCG, Niagara, Python as well as a sound Houdini & Substance skillset. #GameDev #VFX

Also if you're not the programmer implementing it, 90% of the time if you ask a programming change it'll turn out to be a lot more work than you imagined

I'm trying to find a succinct direct example for this. Maybe it is:

Iteration: Changing the double jump height from 1.5m to 2m.
Change: Changing the double jump to a hookshot.

The complication is that both could be considered 3C iteration. But one has a huge impact, including on e.g. level design.

Though fwiw I didn’t like that PCG could only run in a level through a component so it’s nice to know that it doesn't have those requirements anymore, if I understand that video properly

framework & have interop "by default"

Yeah but the interconnection between all of them, when they exist, are limited to whatever was specifically implemented & you have to dive into undocumented code if you want tighter integration, unlike something like houdini where all the different resource & node types are part of a common

not too be too snarky but does UE now have 4 different node based procedural content generation system with interop being a second class citizen for each of them? Texture Graph, PCG, this, Geometry Script (granted it's node based in the sense of being BP compatible)

So, anyone got any cool jobs going haha? Interested in Tech Art, Lighting , Lookdev Unreal roles, remote from Adelaide, let me help you make pretty things!
