Also you're probably better off cutting out the windows in the mesh, or using a separate material for them, rather than using an alpha mask for the entire buildings, because they typically interfere with early depth check optimizations.
I'm guessing that the difference between a cube and a few dozen quads is completely negligible on modern hardware, while the overdraw, even with ideal z culling would be a larger cost
Also when you press the buttons the icons appear on the machines display
I'm loving RE9 and the game is beautiful, but the nuked city sections are giving me PS360 flashbacks, when that was the setting for every game
That Orbitals trailer is gorgeous. A bit curious what method they're using for the cell shading, if it's similar to the line rendering I'm doing in Onion Assault and PunchPatrol
It's a real travisty that DK didn't win all the game awards and grammys etc for the Zebra Bananza theme
What the heck, who bought my games last month? Had the best non-discount sales in years
The NES can't really do animated tiles without one of the later memory mapper chips the cart. At least not the easy way, you could of course still go through the full screen tilemap and replace each tile individually but that would likely be slow.
Anything involving communication also isn't happening cause it'll make everyone wish they were stuck in a burning Tesla
Anything with a physical component isn't happening any time soon. The big tech companies have no interest or expertise in manufacturing complex robots with moving parts. Tesla can't even design a car door that doesn't kill people
I still have idea what jobs AI is supposed to do that aren't already highly automated with less stupid solutions.
Unfortunately I only have a bachelors degree, and only sort of a CEO, but if I can still make him sad by saying there is zero practical usecase for current gen AI except for making everything worse, I want to do my part
I don't understand how any judge could look at this case for more than five minutes and not immediately force Rockstar to pay billions in damages youtu.be/dnuipPQDd_w?...
youtu.be/jXwsxkSEuyw?... I'll admit a lot of things in Punch Patrol are pretty sloppy. I made it in a few months during covid while dealing with depression and burnout, and it's not really a genre I'm that great at or passionate about. But damn I still love the overall look of the game
When we see them laying down the Yellow Brick Road in Wicked 2, that is some shitty road construction, it will be completely unusable after the first heavy rainfall
As much as I don't care about the Goeff Awards, I'm still happy to see Silent Hill f nominated for narrative, and perhaps more surprising and significant, japanese Hinako for performance. I'm assuming that's a first for non-english language actors
I'm kinda tired of so many indie metroidvanias being so sleepy. I'm bored with 'atmospheric', give me some funky grooves while I'm exploring
Was able to get back my Steam account now. And it doesn't look like the hackers were able do much damage before it got locked, except change the publisher listing on the GC1 store page
So my Steam account has been hacked, which includes the publishing account. Trying to get in touch with Valve support to get it back but in the meantime I'd recommend staying away from my games on there. Not that anyone's buying them regardless
Turns out the system TV sound setting was wrong and setting it to stereo helped a bit. Still would have been nice with some basic options though
Is there seriously no Sound Options in Mario Kart World? the music is so low and engines so noisy
Can confirm Mechstermination Force runs on Switch 2, and my other games as well
Black Mirror Hotel Reverie was a pretty dumb episode, but now I kinda want a lesbian remake of Casablanca
To be honest that's why watching it as an adult just requires too much suspension of disbelief. There's just no way they'd keep working in secret until they have herds of fully grown adult dinos and a fully built park ready for opening
if the Switch 2 price is somehow actually the thing that kickstarts a working-class uprising, will history books call it the Nintendo Revolution or the Nintendo Wii?
Higher AAA prices means a bigger pricing range for indies and AA devs, so I aint mad. Also we're already paying those prices on PS5 here in Sweden
I had assumed $80 was already standard. Most big PS5 releases are close to 900SEK here. Surprised to learn those are just $70/70€ elsewhere. Guess we'll have to wait and see what Nintendos policy on swedish currency will be for Switch 2 games
Or Fromsoftware doesn't like working with SONY, they dropped the ball on Demon's Souls, and the fact that they never bothered to do a PS4 Pro/PS5 patch to unlock the framerate might suggest From weren't happy with the deal the got on Bloodborne either
Doesn't really make sense when all the fans are screaming for it, every Miyazaki game is selling gangbusters and Sony is trying to buy their parent company. I'd have to imagine there's some bad blood between them
Gotta wonder what's going on with the sony-fromsoftware relationship
