Menthami

working in tech makes me want to delete myself.
i wonder if that would be any different in games?

unity shenanigans? still ongoing!

anyway, I did a quick search, looks like they indeed discontinued it, but a popular community visual scripting package exists.

from what i heard it was discontinued a while ago?

well I hope someone knowledgeable responds, but I agree that marketing may be a cause here.
i feel like every public company has to yell about AI now, whether they actually use it or not.

im no expert on this at all, but I believe that some kind of machine learning algorithms were used in computer vision waaay before present gen ai bollocks.

once again tech companies “simplified” everything to the point where nobody knows what words mean

i think microtransactions can make a game more accessible.
some may not afford 50€+ upfront. i certainly couldn’t when I was a kid. but if the base game is free anyone can play it.

also, for online or live service games that’s probably the only viable way to stay afloat besides subscriptions.

i legitimately had couple of cases where goto would be a great solution, but i didn’t go with it because people would yell at me xd

yeah i also didn’t come up with anything better.

i’m just hoping that if i grind a lot, someday, my gamedev stuff will replace the full time job.

wow, i just tried it with a couple of queries and it works better than i expected.

it also gets rid of all the seo optimised rubbish. insane!

i think the game’s not for everyone, so if that’s not your thing, the combat may be worth a shot, it gets better. it feels like a boiled down to core dark souls game, you later get some spells and a shield.

the first „tutorial” boss is disappointing, but the later ones can really give a thrill.

yeah, tunic is more about exploration and secrets.
a lot of things are hidden in plain sight. later game hints you at these and you’re like „wait, i could do that from the start?” and yeah, you could.
it’s the kind of feeling i felt when i played games as a kid, so to me it was fascinating.

you will start getting more pieces of the puzzle, and the secrets themselves become much more interesting.
also, the boss battles. they are good. almost fromsoftware good.

i would actually say ai became worse.
for example, the early image generators were funky, but they sometimes produced interesting or entertaining output.
the modern ones just stamp slop that looks the same lol

well, they invested billions, they built datacenters, so we’re going to see these useless annoying ai features in everything, unfortunately…

yeah that’s what I use now, but it still relies on mozilla’s main branch.

if they go the chromium route it will be harder and harder for librefox maintainers to deenshittify new updates.

there were news that steam requires developers to disclose the usage of gen-ai a while ago when publishing
so they’re not showing it to users yet?

looks like i have to make as much money as i can until mozilla enshittifies the browser that’s already on life support

didn’t know about it, looks pretty nice, ill give it a shot too, thanks

there’s a way to remove the original tab bar with custom css or something like that 🌚

TreeStyleTab for firefox.
keeps all related tabs grouped together, so switching between tasks is like going to a different folder.
i can barely get the work done without it.. if something happens to firefox i’ll be broke.

that’s why I find it fun as a sole person working on a game though.
you get to exercise your skills in different art forms

i fell like with each upgrade unity spits out more and more internal errors at you.

venture capital.

indie studios are doing relatively fine.

from what i heard, most Americans can’t even buy groceries without having to drive a mile or two to the store.
that’s also the reason, possibly

I’ve no idea how that link got here

it is a language, because it’s main purpose is to assign names to the feelings we feel when we hear certain sounds, so we can communicate them to others.

i heard their coreclr team, which is kinda important, also suffered some corporate damage.

and i heard that their ceo guy prefers backwards compatibility to actual improvement..

not sure how much of that is true, i agree that patience is the way to go

well, there’s reddit, and also theme-specific sites.

i think people (me included) started to develop allergy for other websites, because many of them are ai seo rubbish or full of ads or useless mainstream media or all of the above

actually this comment section kinda confirms what i just said…
