Real talk, why half of the remaining games media is in Japan this week but no one can ever find a Japanese dev, consultant, journo or researcher to talk about Japan? Especially when we then get these experts who ignore the well-know fact that Japan has laws which make firing people extremely hard.

Why do Japanese studios suffer fewer layoffs? Because they have smaller teams and don't pay their execs $30m, says one expert. https://bit.ly/4rfqTRG

Migrating from a janky windows jellyfin setup to a proper debian+docker+tailscale. Now I want to self-host absolutely everything

Now every single Google search has a reddit post in the top results. No, you can't read for more than 2 seconds without logging in.

well getting a new PC is pretty much impossible now if you’re not american and rich (rip JPY) looking forward to more devs supporting low-spec pcs and macos

Technical knowledge and skills attached to people?? Those things with lives, families and opinions?? Disgusting

id Software worked with various ideas before Xbox cuts, including a new Perfect Dark, John Wick style new IP, and co-op DOOM id has been "nuked into the dirt" and "relegated to support studio size", said one former dev. gamesbeat.com/inside-a-stu... www.videogameschronicle.com/news/id-soft...

I’m the perfect lab rat, for every medication I take it’s guaranteed I’ll experience ALL effects and side effects with the minimum dosage

Every time I click sleep on my computer, I have to carefully take my hand away from the mouse, or it wakes up immediately

This is great, but I wish Bluesky had audio posts like Tumblr, I want to listen to talented people’s demos, practices and WIPs

If you can only choose a single remote day, the best day is naturally Wednesday But for two days it becomes a big decision, wed/fri? Mon/tue??? Can’t even imagine for three days

Found the perfect YouTube video to fall asleep to just to get pissed noticing the gpt-isms in its script. Maybe there’s a lesson here

Feels somewhat like a crime, I’m converting a MFC project to Electron with C++ modules at incredible speed

We had the Grand Finals of the Teapot Rendering Competition this week. These are original scenes by students at the #UniversityofUtah, rendered using their own ray tracers written in C++, commemorating the famous #UtahTeapot. You can see them all here: graphics.cs.utah.edu/trc/ #raytracing

Love inheriting a project with a healthy amount of documented tools Good workflows make or break software/games

I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game. If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute
