The thing that's happening in games right now is that expectations of quality have not dropped even slightly but expectations of budget are cratering and so the pressure is being applied in the usual place: people's salaries

Digger Rockwell as a AAA gamedev: u NEED me. every last one of u. see, no matter how cerebral u pretend to be u wanna solve a puzzle with no friction. u wanna kill a boss the first go. u wanna follow yellow paint and go through objectives like potato chips. u wanna lay back and have FUN after work.

our lives would be so intensely different if they were not here but i sometimes think that the search engine was a mistake and that the internet makes essential (sentimental?) a base-level of access friction

it is strange to even suggest this because i grew up in a post-yahoo/altavista world and can only guess what it would be like to "grow up online" without such services

the pretend frankfurt school guys in my brain would remind me "the hypermediation of society began far earlier than the web" and yet it is at both points too hard and too simple to pinpoint if the internet anticipates the social question of freedom better or worse than, for ex: television

i have kind of a antipathy for that type of "XYZ be like" tiktok guy because it's so lazy but his high effort stuff is funny

i think among engineers there is this armchair presumption of immediately unbounded economic behavior once "some technical hurdle" is jumped over. all that needs to happen is to Do The Thing and everyone else will be powerless to stop it

those that know better know that capitalism is much more internally contradictory than it seems

big walk was fantastic. I knew I would immediately love this game from the moment it got teased but I didn’t expect how emotional it would net

bringing back kinkshaming but not in the prude way, more in the "that's stupid. i can see how you would get to the point of this being alluring but also this is stupid" way

the context was i scrolled past what appeared to be a tf sequence of someone turning into the grok anime girl

knife party with avoidant personality disorder: you blocked me on facebook and i probably deserved it because i fucking suck

shipping anything on mobile GPUs so awesome every other issue is fucking float16 precision-related

most games i think it hard to run into FP precision issues unless you're like dealing with some open world shit in which case you either use f64 or some kind of dual coord system (like unreal tiled LWC or doublefloat) but it is very easy to start losing digits fast when you do anything in f16
