I do think this is sarcasm on Hanks part. But it definitely feels like Tik Tok has been bought back via bribes. Who knows if that was via Trump Meme coin or otherwise. Definitely not a place to be going forward.

Can’t wait to see this continue development! I love the gameplay concept but I especially love how the 2D visuals have been translated to 3D.

Nintendo Switch 2 comparison I just saw posted that put into perspective the actual size of the device and the size of the screen.

at the same time without using some claw grip haha. It would be really nice to have something similar. But I do know having an attached 3rd party seems much harder to develop this time due to the magnetic attachment/new connector.

I definitely may consider it for sure. I know the reasons I wanted it for the Switch was for the Hall effect joysticks and the extra back buttons. I have some of the 3rd party controllers that I use in docked mode and that basically makes Tears of the Kingdom playable for me so I can run and jump

Music and singing is one of my greatest joys in life I just saw OK Go’s newest video and I felt it held so much meaning for everything we experience today. It feels like a really special way to unite feelings and express shared emotion. youtu.be/MOEULOSVNK4?...

There are so many things just like this in Unreal but always due to specific use cases. Like the custom scene textures that basically shadow dropped but was a huge improvement.

I don’t know what bindless textures are, but it makes me want to consider looking into it just to understand.

The biggest reason we weren’t surprised is because the entire console was leaked in the months leading up to the reveal, not because Nintendo lacks innovation. They are the only company left that still co-develops hardware and software which is one reason why their games are always so impressive.

I feel like this could be added in a couple of unique ways.
- A regular joker you buy that has a double negative effect
- A possible outcome of a high risk, high reward gamble tarot card
- Instead of a card, it could be a new sticker or effect on a card that is just called a double negative.

There is the mouse mode that is very heavily hinted at, but also pretty much confirmed through quite a few leaks and even the trailer. The sensors on both of the Joycons then the trailer showing the Joycons scurrying like mice.

The biggest benefit of the Steam Deck for me is the touchpad plus the regular controller. I play a lot of mouse input games with the touchpad. Like Factorio, Timberborn, Anno 1800, and the like. When they have a handheld that can match that amount of control, then I’ll be on board.

Same, mine is a picture of Luigi when I thought it was cool to pretend to be Luigi on a Nintendo News site. That was back in the Wii U era when we didn’t have much news to go on. There were a couple others in there too who took their roles very seriously, I don’t remember exactly their names.

view it. I always just wish everyone would be able to see more from others eyes more often, and I know I lack a lot of vision, and I’m trying to learn, but I hope others can share any thoughts of if anyone reads my long ramblings, feel free to connect! Or correct me as well please. Thank you!

they could listen to, are all just from specks, they know that their perspective is the only one that matters at all. I could imagine, being in a situation like that, the world would look a lot different then it does down here. I know my perspective is a lot different then how someone up there may

have this willingness, say if they are in this position of said speck crusher, then they won’t be willing to see a perspective as valid from anyone else’s point of view other then their own. Because they have so much validation from others surrounding them, and because the other perspectives that

18.01.2025 09:40 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

aren’t able to gain a true perspective of how a regular person may feel. Those people aren’t human but specks.

Back to the original point. One major thing I was considering was the emotional capacity one is able to gain from having a willingness to accept another’s perspective. If someone doesn’t

truly aren’t on a mountain (but just a photo backdrop of one), but the people around them and the wealth and exposure and the praise make them think they are. They can’t imagine stepping down from this mountain, because think of all they would lose. So they stay there in feigned glory. Then they

all the specks feel, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend how those specks feel. Which people in a scenario detached like this, either with mental or social disconnects may be in. The analogy is better for wealth/social disconnects.

Those people really aren’t specks, they are just people, and they

the point of decision, or multiple points would have to be made. I think the higher the setup, the harder the fall. Or at least, that may be how it might seem. I imagine, if you are set on the top of a giant mountain, and told to look down on a bunch of tiny specks, and told to try and imagine how

heavily preferred a child in school or the child was heavily supported throughout school. Not initially their fault but leading to unrealistic views of the world, or just given wealth early on and provided opportunities in a gifted setting so is out of touch with a modern struggle.

Then I think

to us not gaining this perspective that our way isn’t always right like we should. Say if we grow up with a family that doesn’t have a present parent, or an alcoholic, leaving a child that needs to defend for itself. The feelings may be more about self preservation or retaliation. Maybe a teacher

that maybe my way isn’t the only right way. For example, a parent correcting how we count, a teacher correcting an assignment, a spouse correcting a behavioral issue we were unaware of.

Then there could be other problems, that maybe don’t get resolved, or get resolved incorrectly, which leads

greatly impact the emotional capacity of the individual, and help the individual expand their understanding of others.

I think sometimes this is limited though when someone is capped by various factors. I think we probably all hit all sorts of learning points through life where we start to realize

I tend to be a deep thinker, so I’m curious if any of deep thoughts may connect with any others as I ramble instead of just bouncing back and forth keeping me up all night.

I’ve been thinking a lot this evening about how one’s life experience and willingness to accept alternate perspectives can

common to create big scripts that you load in through a custom node to run a chunk of code? How about utilizing other features of the GPU or things like compute shaders? Things just feel so hard in this area with Unreal and Shader development.

Something I want to get deeper into is Unreal Shader development and deeper integration with internal systems so things don’t have to feel as hacky sometimes. Like not needing to use custom nodes for custom code all the time. Is this common practice to create custom material nodes? Or is it more
