lol… do you think that only coders go to gdc?

pfftt…hahahah ah, this is hilarious.

Jeff Bezos is a top paid developer at Amazon

and btw, jeff doesn’t even work at amazon anymore.

and hilariously, Nintendo uses emulation themselves.

Hypocritical fucks

I know a startup tried to do phone reflection in VR, that is, to mirror a phone’s display into a render layer, and try to use the phone’s touchscreen as an input for that ‘display’.

they went out of business. I wonder if they ever got their patents figured out. seemed like promising tech.

The convenience is harder. I don’t think there’s a solution to that, at least not in the near future.

lighter headsets that work well in MR, so you don’t need to take it off to reply to a msg or find your login. you’d leave it on in mixed/augmented reality mode, then swap it back to VR to play your game.

Slowly, we’re moving towards that. I’ll be very interested to see what comes after the quest 3s / index etc.

Valve isn’t done in VR. it doesn’t feel the need to put out a headset every year.

Same with the Vive. It wasn’t the end. Index isn’t the end. When they find something they can innovate they will.

the tech debt effect is hilarious

Seems like the gamergate chuds are trying to make stories happen in a bunch of places.

my understanding from a tech artist friend was that simple things like adding a new shader would take a day to make it into their continuous integration builds, making it ridiculous compared to unity/unreal/etc. this was 2019-ish

Hardly Microsoft alone. Sony sunk billions into Bungie. Around 20%+ OF THE TOTAL WORKFORCE have been laid off at bungie just in 2024.

troof.

same with Jaimie Lee Curtis but sometimes we need projects like this to teach us humility.

yuuuuUUup. both companies had a golden goose, bungie gave it away to pursue the glory that is, uh, destiny… there’s a wizard on the moon lol. ms decided to stick with the IP and start beating that horse to death post haste lol

You seem to thinking I somehow like or whatever Russia?

you asserted complete and utter bullshit that was easily verifiably false. I don’t know what your deal is, but when you walk up and start saying ‘nah the russians ain’t that bad’ you’re fuckin sus in my book hoss.

I am saying this so people remember that most are there for the money, not because someone forces them. Stop letting them off the hook, blaming someone else.

yeah like the migrants the russians kidnap and force to the front, they’re in it for the money?

putin is evil. russia is evil. trying to ascribe rational thoughts to an adversary reduced to throwing meat waves, whos only advances come through absolute destruction of the cities they claim to capture, its a fool’s errand. no troop who walks behind you and shoots the deserters is your friend.

There are no blocking units.

bwhahaha you can’t be that dumb?

It’s not ‘one sketchy video’ it’s reality, Vlad.

But hey, I’m sure idiot waves on quads and dirtbikes is superior russian tactical advance, not just because anything larger gets blown to tiny russian meat mist.

yeah russia’s ability to send mid-20th century mbt’s to ukraine for scrapping by drone has been wild.

my fav is the turtle cage, the gigantic boxes of welded metal where the turret can’t move and they don’t even provide the gun with ammo, just use it as some kind of giant shit troop transport.

I know russia uses blocking units to keep their forces from retreating but they also must have some kind of prodding battalions just to get these poor shitbags to the front line in the first place, there’s no fucking way I’d hop on a chinese quad or ride some battery powered scooter into combat but we’re seeing it every fucking day.

Thanks!

TY!

Thank you very much, I look forward to exploring this!

so I looked into modded minecraft via curse… seems awfully clunky - and so many mods are really compilations of others… can you recommend top few mods?

The only one that seems interesting from a player perspective is trees falling when cut.

their game division has been a fantastic machine for burning loads and loads of money while producing a whole lotta jack shit.
