the thing about gamedev (or any development really) is that there will always be a million ways that you could have done it better, and a million ways that your way is bad… but the point is that you actually ship something. perfection means it never gets done. so just make it! who cares how.

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

Unity C# Switch case statements can take multiple labels, like enums so you don't have to nest statements: case (Movement.Idle, WeaponMgr.WeaponSelected.Rifle): break; case (Movement.Walk, WeaponMgr.WeaponSelected.Rifle): break; #indiegamdev #unitytips

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

How do you feel about having to pay taxes to a lawless dictatorship

Any game designers want to try something completely different?

The way Bukele was treated in the oval vs. Zelenskyy is all you need to know.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

obviously it’s not gonna change anything nothing good ever happens but research like this should be the nail in the coffin for oh its just a few rich whales keeping everyone else afloat type defending of these models

Whenever you read another dev's success strategy, your thought should not be "I need to do this too," but rather, "Can I adapt this to my specific situation/scenario?" It's really easy to get caught up in thinking you can replicate success 1:1 instead of remembering all the unique factors at play.

Yeah man SCOTUS ruled in 2022 Shinn v. Ramirez that actual innocence is secondary to procedural concerns, we've become inured to the idea that it's acceptable for people to be tortured in jails and prisons, all predicated on the idea that criminality is something that's inherent, not just made up.

I assure you I've worked with way more under qualified men who got the job because they are drinking buddies with, is related to, or some how connected to someone in charge than under qualified women. Most women have to work twice as hard to get half the credit and have to fight for opportunities.

After messing about for a bit I was able to get it working! It's one reflection probe and a ring buffer of 3 RenderTexture cubemaps. Update one and lerp between the other two. The lerp needs to happen in the shaders, so we're back to custom lighting... #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

yes!

last post: even if you're just being purely selfish, whether or not they had criminal records or were legal citizens doesn't really matter. because they're not giving anyone a chance to prove anything either way. so you won't get one either. everyone has rights or no one has rights, man.

fun thing about "hard technical problems" in games is that if you solve them good enough, the usual intended end result is that people don't even notice it at all

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

they can come for any of us. an absolutely intolerable situation for a free people. trump is now promising the same treatment for us citizens. a plot to enslave america

They're building concentration camps for political dissidents

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

Trump telling Bukele off camera at White House meeting that "home-growns are next" Meaning US citizens. This is a death camp arrangement confirmed on Bukele's live feed.

I never cease to be amazed at how many of the grievances against King George in the Declaration of Independence apply to Trump. For example: 1. “He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.” www.cnbc.com/2020/12/23/t...

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

*excited screaming*

I have more hair and the dinosaur is more green and this is by Richard Corben and I don't have a #webcomic but otherwise I am exactly like this.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

detaining people unlawfully and then sending them to work in a foreign labor camp is enslavement. It's a slave trade. that's clear if you already recognize prison labor as slave labor, here and anywhere it exists.

One of the reasons I’m struggling to inhabit the current historical era is that I along with many others have been saying that US prisons are torture chambers for decades and most people don’t mind this in the least. I’m not sure who will be moved to close prisons now.

The California DMV routinely allows dangerous drivers with horrifying histories to continue to operate on our roadways. Too often they go on to kill. Many keep driving even after they kill. Some go on to kill again. ✍️ Robert Lewis, @calmatters.org

"Here’s the thing: Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game. You have admitted the principle that some people have more rights than others." heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-13-2...

Looks like the 2nd Amendment folks were right after all. 🤷‍♂️ USA is over, folks. This is *exactly* why we fought a rebellion against King George.

The president is saying that once the administration gets people outside our borders it can do anything to them—including torture and death—and they can’t be stopped or held accountable.
