Keeping the next generation of kids from watching it feels like a more tangible impact.

They want to be comfortable with letting you handle real work for an intern salary; don’t let them have that. I’m not saying be an asshole or make enemies, just that it literally pays to be manipulative.

It’s like a take home interview you started before even applying.

This project is awesome! Can you share pictures when you’ve completed it?? Not just of the cool furry part but also of your VR frankenstein components. And I wish you the best of luck trying to use blender for modeling. It sounds harder but I respect/admire your refusal to use proprietary solutions.

Arc Raiders just had the biggest multiplayer launch of the year and runs perfectly fine on linux.
I don’t think anticheat is the future of multiplayer games, except for competitive games. I don’t play competitive multiplayer so it’s not a problem for me.

I’m wondering if the steam machine announcement hurt Xbox’s plans because they won’t be able to compete with the (expected) price or performance of the steam machine. With the steam deck showing gaming on Linux works, and Windows’ reputation in decline, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re considering scrubbing a (theoretical) windows-xbox console.

As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop. Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us.
I just don’t believe this message at all. To me this situation reads like Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond getting fired for fumbling game pass, cloud gaming, Xbox in general, and an AI-pilled CEO taking their place.

Our deal is building high quality replacements for low quality software, and sometimes modernizing existing codebases that aren’t too far gone. The precious thing I love about this job is we’re given time to develop a deep understanding of the domain and design a system that works elegantly.
Right now we have more businesses requesting our services than we have man power to actually do the work. I can only imagine this market will grow as the effects of LLM code ripple throughout the industry.
Well that fucking sucks. What’s next, banning people who are too tall from playing basketball? Oh no that’s nonsensical because it wouldn’t target a minority conservatives hate (yet). I’m so tired of the bullshit, man.
