The difference between CPUs and GPUs is also stage of development. CPUs did eventually converge and found common ground, but GPUs are still constantly evolving. Not too long ago they were still only for graphics, and they are slowly becoming parallel computing units. My point is, I think GPUs will eventually converge into a more static architecture. Then we might start seeing some quality of life improvements to shader programming.
Live service has absolutely nothing to do with piracy. Companies do live service games because 1. If a game is successful, it is less of a risk to keep adding content to it over time and monetizing it, rather than creating a new game every time which may or may not be successful. Live service is less risk and more stable and predictable as a long term revenue stream. Big companies LOVE stable revenue streams. 2. Live service lends itself well to monetization methods that have been shown to be highly profitable (microtransactions), more profitable per effort than selling a whole new game
Formatters are just petty tyrants for the inflexible mind. Nobody insists all their co-workers speak in exact same non-regional american accent (indeed that would racist!). But for some reason that love for diversity flies out the window when they spot a missing space.
I don't know if it falls under the same category, but it's insane how many people give up on some problems just because it's not their "job/speciality" or because they dont know the solution from their experience, it's not about knowing the solution, but to learn how to find it.
The short answer should just be "Bloat". A custom made engine has the potential to be orders of magnitude more efficient than a general purpose software suite like Unreal, Unity, Godot, etc.. but that depends on the talent of the programmer(s). That's why Doom can run on practically anything, but if you remake Doom using Unity, it will be enormous and slow by comparison.
This is such an example of "I sit in my chair and program for 100 hours" looks like. Why haven't we built new and exciting buildings? Because when building finishes construction, no one is pogging about it on twitter. Why dont we built like Hoover dam 2? And who needs it? Regardless if we even have place or not, what good its gonna do? Same lunar landings- unless we find a stable source of water and materials up there it is all just yapping. When american warmachine won any wars? Maybe say thanks that we are not a radioactive dust? Brainrot is everywhere! Gen Z is failing! Gen A is DOOOOOOOMED! Good Lord, can stand people like this.
I agree 100% with what he's saying. But I'm unsure if he's coming from a place of resentment and insecurity or from genuine harsh compassion. Which I dont really vibe with.
Jon has the satisfyingly harsh demeanor that Andrew tate. But the difference is he is an actually smart and wise guy that speaks actual helpful advice.
Agreed 100%. Recently I have discovered that I can shoot 8:7 with GoPro, and how amazing these videos look. It feels like I am in the moment, I don’t understand why movies are all wide instead of 4:3 or 8:7
Why do people lie about skills being dependent on the amount of time put in , my dude let me tell you some real shit me and my friend literally was puttng in almost the samw amount of time learning to code , i got my eyes fucked up i cant even read properly now, my whole health is messed up i dont even move out of my chair unless its time for food or something , he acquired skills and i acquired a fked up body, life doesn't treat you equally my guy there can be a dude who learn more skills with 5hours put in than a dude who put in a whole damn week, life is all luck
This is probably the result of valve having a certain incentive structure that rewards employees for working on new things more than refining existing products. I think this is why their older games aren't very well supported. On the other hand a company like riot has a very narrow focus on League of Legends, Valorant, so on and trying to maximize the potential of just a few projects while slowly expanding.
Not gonna watch the video but the answer is that people are trying to put a bandaid fix on the symptoms while ignoring the root cause. Think, could climate change have existed 200 years, ago? 500 years ago? It’s literally just the result of extreme industrialization, an unnatural plague on the world. Let’s just go from riding horses to using 1 billion gas guzzling cars to get us to our jobs. Then let’s pretend that we can “fix the problem” by protesting and Greta thunberg. We can all save the planet using our individual choice to not use cars, it’ll work! No it won’t idiot. Are you all so blind? The current industrialized world literally runs on the fuel the creates the problem in the first place. If the world stays this way, it never changes. Your little protests and activism’s do nothing. “We need to save the animals from going extinct when we killed 99% of their population for our own gain to begin with”. 😂😂. Industrialization is the epitome of human greed, taken to %1000000. It’ll result in the melting of the ice caps that sink into the ocean and flood the world. Our greed and sin will cause all of our deaths, just like the great flood which occurs in the Bible. It was already written.
it scares me a little. I will buy game for sure, but i finished all puzzles in braid by myself except one, in witness I skipped probably one of a third, because some puzzles are hidden, some puzzles can't be solved at certain step, and some are too rigged or difficult (I'm sorry, musical section, it's just too much). And I definitely liked Braid more. Braid was an experience, witness was a puzzle game.
The more I watch of Jblow the less I understand how such stupid people find themselves on his chat. What are they even doing there? The questions he gets are beyond idiotic 95% of the time. Are they kids??
Capital gains taxes stifle investment. Taxes on the unrealized gains will stop investment in its tracks. Owning a home would be a liability at that point.
this looks sooo boring. my god. how is this popular..? reminds me of fallout, without the aesthetic nor humor, and far more randomness (random abyss?? LOL. explosion?)
this is all i need in life. J just critiquing the crap out of pop games. He's so keen on bad design! lmao, how bad is it if you skip the intro video by accident! i can't believe these issues still exist.
you work for years to make your masterpiece, just to see it blatantly copied, all the way down to the stacks of boards, without the good gameplay. ugh. originators should be able to sue
i dunno about climate change, but i can ensure jon is right about the homeless problem of SF. the shelters are prisons, isolated in some random terrible spot in downtown, next to liquor stores, staffed by people who are completely alienated from what's going on, most often hired far away from the city, similar to how the police are hired. prisons are businesses.
46.2% women for fall 2023... the gender ratio for going to coffee shops would be more useful ;) www.colorado.edu/oda/sites/default/files/attached-files/overallprofilefa23.pdf
He’s not wrong about the design being lazy but “THIS THROWAWAY DETAIL IN A VIDEO GAME IS UNREALISTIC, DEVS ARE HACKS” is possibly the most Autism Speaks video game criticism of all time
Artistic decisions are very subjective. I definitely fit into the camp of people who felt let down by his decision here and I wouldn't recommend the game to others as I'd expect them to find it deeply disappointing for the same reason. At least listening to this, I can see the half finished story in the game and how he chose to walk away from it. The Witness is simultaneously the most beautiful and unsatisfying game I've played, but he made his choices and I can't objectively tell him he's wrong.
I begged neih i pleaded. Js cannot do this. Cannot does not exist in the mind which delegates but only in those that execute. I really loved programming. Now i love grants wiskey.
If you really want to know. You will know. But remember there is no not knowing after that occured. It. Is much darker. To understand will take everything. But you will also see how it could not take less
