Google Play just terminated my developer Account for 0 reason and has refused to help Hi guys, I run a software development company from Germany. We develop android and web applications. On the 26th of July,

Using AI to write production code is similar to outsourcing. You are no longer doing the fun stuff: designing and writing high quality code. Instead you: Review bad code N times to make it somewhat acceptable, panic fix bugs in production, maintain ever growing messy code base.

Some users claim to have been banned while trying to give feedback about the editor. I'm sorry for them, it shouldn't have happened. But they should've waited If you see someone really angry about something IRL you don't go to them to complain about an unrelated thing. Same here

It's hard to filter between them all. On internet spaces, just as you would do in real life. Read the room. If people are angry/nervous don't enter the conversation to add nothing or to complain about unrelated things. Because there's a good chance you'll end up hurt (or banned)

All my Support to @godotengine and their Community Manager. I've had to fight against nazis (and TERFs too) in my mentions with @aceCourtBot , it is not a pleasant experience The CM will have unfairly banned people, it's normal, when you have so many mentions it's really hard

I'll regret this, but: my take on the #godot thing 1. "woke studios use engines" take is obvsly dumb 2. Godot memeing on it is fine 3. Gogot's explicit support of LGBT+ is good. These folks are threatened in most parts of the world, they do need every bit of support they can get

if your response to seeing a rainbow emoji is "ew politics" you probably arent very interested in an inclusive environment and godot made the right decision to remove you Financially backing a project doesn't entitle you to bigotry

Recently a video claimed that modern pixel artists are misguided - mimicking sprites as they appear on modern screens, instead of how pixel artists from the 80s and 90s “intended” them to look on hazy CRT televisions. Not exactly. Let’s discuss. A thread 1/🧵

CRTs are not "how the games were intended to be experienced" any more than cassette tape is "how 80s music was intended to be experienced". no one consciously chose it because they liked it, it was just what we had. what are we doing here

Sorry everyone that my games have my actual art instead of simulating a display thats so crappy you cant see half of it. Its because i dont know any better

this comes up every so often and tbh it kind of drives me nuts, not least of all because i did not play in arcades and i never had a video game console. i had the game boy line, which have LCDs. the games DID look like the left

Why di @XDevelopers repost this?

Mr Robot - Season 03 Episode 03 - Frame 1270 of 2990

I feel like a fun programming stream would be me trying to make a chess AI from scratch without any actual knowledge about how chess AIs work

how you gonna render an object without keeping track of where it is?

A gameplay programmer at Insomniac told me once that the biggest perceived improvement to game AI over his career was having NPCs shout what they were going to do before doing it.

The before is 21.7 ms per frame, after is 17.5 ms per frame - that's an overhead of 4.2 per frame. Again, a lot.

DRM arguments aside, 10% is _A LOT_ when it comes to performance.
