Well if they didn’t even notice an axis on a graph, they might be too stupid for a graph…

My point was only to say that 5% is very mich visible on a 0-100% graph.

5% is noticeable unless the graph is under 20 pixels tall. Even then, dithering or antialiasing techniques could make it visible.

Well, they are clowns, you can’t knock them too hard for trying to juggle so much. Now if only they could learn people don’t want to watch clowns any more…

Yea, don’t have to render all the pixels for full enjoyment, though I bet things like the UI would love the extra detail.

Either way, the industry has a greedy corpo problem, not a technological limitation problem.

The screens getting better pushes directly against graphics processing increases. More pixels takes more power, after all.

Not that it’s any excuse… Modern phones are more powerful than the Switch, by a long shot.

I really wish mobile games could be good, but this is modern capitalism: It’s not about careers and good products. It’s about extracting wealth.

Yes, the guy I replied to. They need to walk to their nearest college and learn how, “reading between the lines” is NOT about applying any and all conspiracy thinking to a subject…

Yea, eating up loads of screen space for controls and having a tiny screen are big negatives.

Processing power is waaaay less too, but that’s been a non-issue for indie quality style graphics for some years, now.

The entire market works off of freemium and piecemeal/ad models, too, which as Tim refuses to admit; people also hate!

Are you SERIOUSLY this stupid and triggered? They’ve said NOTHING about “woke” anything, and your dumb ass goes off like this is gamer gate? Fuck you. Fuck you, you illiterate moron.

This is about how Epic, the corporarion Tim Sweeny leads, a corpo that’s a big player in the games industry, is FAILING to identify that it is quality, not budget that determines if a game sells.

… and then you come in here saying GamerGate shit. Fuck off, you inflammatory dumbass. Seems like you need to get past Reddit culture, troll.

IMO, the most important parts are to document the actual intent of the code. The contract of what is being documented. Sure, it’s only so useful in perfectly written code, but NO code is perfect, and few will come through later with full context already learned.

It makes it sooo mich easier to know what is intended behavior and what is an unchecked edge case or an unexpected problem. If it’s a complicated thing with a lot of fallout, good documentation can save hours of manually lining up consequences and checking through them for sanity.

You might say, “but that’s indication of bad code!”. No. Not really. Consequences easily extend past immediate code doing things as trivial as saving data to the database without filtering, or having a publicly available service. Even perfectly coded things come up with vulnerabilities all the time due to underlying security issues. It’s always great to have an immediate confirmation of what’s supposed to happen whether it’s immediate code or some library with a new quirk in a new version.

Everyone is in ‘a’ class. It’s a classification of the populous. Do you work for money, or does your money work for you?

If you receive a paycheck or have to budget what so ever, chances are you are not part of the classification of shitbags that push the propaganda.

I mean, you seem to be assuming that muskboy cares about any of his children.

He just hates that one more because she exposes him for the hateful shitbag he is.

Ubisoft deserves to drop to zero.

You might get to see that in Russia with how Putler is screwing things up.

That’s why they’re asking people and not reading a history book.

Yea, it’s not C that is crap, but that it has zero guard rails. Like blaming a knife for not having a guard… Is it a bad knife without a guard? Depends on how sharp it is. The guard is orthogonal to the knife’s purpose, but might still be important when the knife is used.

Just because something doesn’t help prevent accidents does not mean it cannot serve its actual purpose well, unless its actual purpose is safety.

Memory safe language that’s becoming viable … as a proper replacement of C.

There are many other memory safe languages out there. Just not ones most would like to pull in to the kernel…

Yea, they hold up A LOT better than quite a few movies from that time.

Interesting how only the truly exceptional CG holds up like in Jurassic Park and Dragon Heart, whereas even the mediocre puppetry and props have a bit of charm to them.

Some of the “anticheat” systems straight up decide not to work on VMs even with PCIE passthrough et. al. For example, I cannot run Elden Ring with its trash DRM because it says it cannot run under VM. I have PCIE passthrough, and the CPU id also passes through. Only the chipset reports anything VM, yet the “anticheat” decides not to run.

Fuck DRM. It has done nothing except push me to pirate more when I LITERALLY AM buying the games. Fuck those greedy actual morons (corporations who deploy DRM, not FromSoft specifically).

That’s why they were the source of The Ooze in the Teenage Ninja Turtles movie! The live action one that’s totally rad and no one can convince me otherwise! … even though I think I remember seeing #2 way more as a kid… and they are so very much products of their time …

Those problems persist to this day. Just like how Trump (didn’t) delt with COVID.

“The economy” took precedence over peoples’ health, even though peoples’ activity makes the economy… By allowing so many to die, the US’ economy will produce far less than it would have for decades to come. They failed even at the direct goal they were aiming for…

The short-sightedness is the problem. People who think they even can defocus on any goal are only succeeding in deluding themselves.
