The block list implementation was not because he couldn’t be bothered. It was done in a relatively obfuscated matter. Nothing in the read me even mentions it. This was very clearly a God complex or politically biased goal that he knew would have an effect since he was in a position of power, as everyone uses his front end.

I like it mostly because the characters are incredibly easy to care about and connect to, and the depiction of a small town in the pacific northwest is so enchanting. It feels like a soap opera at times but in the best way possible.

The rest of it is incomprehensible but it really adds to the dreaminess of it all.

I respect any piece of media that executes on an artists vision, and twin peaks is so Lynchian that it deserves at least a try.

Also find it interesting how it’s almost impossible to fit it into an archetype. You can almost never guess if someone will like Twin Peaks or not.

People who know what a kernel is likely don’t have friends who play the newest call of duty

Not sure, I mostly use gog because it’s drm free and I pay if the price seems fair for the product I’m receiving. I did recently purchase spider man remastered which was cheaper on gmg.

Green Man and fanatical are trustworthy because they purchase and sell keys as a proper retailer by buying keys from the devs.

Sites like g2a sell spare keys or dubious key sources, such as using stolen credit cards. Using a reputable seller like gmg is completely fine, g2a and the likes on the other hand often actively hurt the devs.

Having more options is always good. Box3d uses box2d’s api which is familiar for a lot of developers. Box3d also adapts a lot of Erin catto’s latest research. He’s pretty foundational to game physics, with many physics engines being built off his work and research, like jolt. Box3d is also very fast with a blazingly fast broad phase collision pass.

Also Box3d is one of very few physics engines that simulates proper gyroscopic torques.

Without a switch tester it’ll be hard to get exactly what you want, but nuphy boards usually have hot swappable switches so if you get one and you don’t like it, you can order a tub of switches to try another type

The three eyed raven should’ve seen this coming

Most people doing the bare minimum are overwhelmed with the pressure of living paycheck to paycheck. Times are tough, especially when you do not have a financial fallback, are ill, and are making Min wage.

I rock the nuphy halo v2 and they’re excellent. If you want the thock you probably want to get a full profile keyboard and not a low profile one. Basically whether or not it uses low profile or normal profile switches. I recommend the lemon switches for a nice tactile feel without annoying the office, but they have a range of options you can order on the board.

It is actually a very popular opinion outside of tech circles to think a lot of data is not worth collecting. It’s why so many see it as “it doesn’t matter” or “I don’t have anything to hide”.

The reality is all this data is incredibly valuable for market control and manipulation. Yes including your bowel movements. Micro optimising targeted ads is the exact goal. You are not privy to the absolute freak levels of optimising these companies are up to, including actively researching and then ignoring the ethical components. They know you better than anyone else on the planet, at least when it comes to marketing to you.

You are right though. This data shouldn’t be collected. But it IS collected, and they want you to think its no big deal.

What the fuck

I think you are definitely a very small minority in that regard. It’s being covered by every avenue of media, and the entire games industry has been fighting to keep up with its release date so as not to compete with it.

Depends on the publisher, but unfortunately there’s enough grubby publishers out there that the word is associated with bad execs. I automatically assume a publisher is unethical unless they prove otherwise. Even annapurna showed their true colours eventually.

That said, I have seen multiple instances of publishers actually saving games by stepping in and putting their own devs into the process. One example would be Valve, with left 4 dead.

Most cheat codes got removed because game devs got better at separating debug tooling from game logic, but especially because publishers and console verification are very strict about what games are allowed to ship with. Shipping with debug tooling is one of the easiest ways to fail validation.

Using the thrusters to increase down force is such a cool mechanic

The most common practice nowadays is to build it with modular assets, and part of the games build process is to combine static meshes that share a material so it can be rendered more efficiently. This is a oversimplification of a complex topic, and there are far more advanced tools now. Most terrains aren’t even modelled anymore, but generated and sculpted in engine using PCG tooling.

Note, this is mostly for the contemporary AA and AAA games industry.

Hey! I got all of them working using bottles and the all in one launcher.
