Especially writing drivers amirite!

No sir never seen it in me life, honest to god sir

So many games work on Proton/Wine these days, it’s not really surprising anymore.

Nowadays you have a huge chunk of games being built on massively popular engines like Unity and Unreal, making it much easier to support/optimise for.

Another big point is that you’re not developing exclusively against DirectX. Vulkan is very popular, and both APIs are frequently supported by game engines. This introduces some “good habits”, in that it forces the devs to think about compatibility from the get go, instead of trying to come up with shady tricks to get one or two extra fps that only work in specific conditions and crash the game otherwise.

That’s phrased brilliantly, and capturey my own perception of Musk

This is how we have 3 different APIs that sometimes do the same thing, but most times are incomplete when compared to the original v1, who in the meantime wasn’t properly maintained because we were “migrating” and now you have to use bits and pieces of the 3 of them to do anything.

It’s a nightmare. Can’t wait for the next genius to come along and start a v4, that will never be completed and will only re-implement parts of the old APIs while implementing all the new features

I exhaled vigorously through my nose.

You’re appealing to authority instead of presenting real arguments.

Thanks for the corrections, looks like I got in late on BG3 and if we’re nitpicking about Shadow of the Erd Tree being a DLC, we need to talk about horse armour.

In any case, the guy I was replying to was crying about no good AAA games in the last few years, so it still applies, but going by overall reviews you can just as easily sub in stuff like Metaphor ReFantazio or Tekken or Like a Dragon and I’m sure there’s others in genres I don’t care about

Remarkable how none of that is true.

Elden ring, Baldurs Gate 3, Helldivers 2, Wukong, Marvel Rivals… List goes on, and that’s just 2024. You .ight not like some genders, and that’s fine, but there are good AAAs.

Also, with the number of AAAs reaching the shelves, what do you mean “most are scrapped”? Sure some games get cancelled from time to time, but saying that’s most of them is just fantasy…

Gotta appreciate the level of commitment on this commit…

The secret here is to come up with a business case that shows management what an incredible ROI they should expect from this initiative.

Then you get to play with robots for a few months instead of actually working!

Hehehe. Thanks for the chuckle!

Is cool

That sounds more accurate. Woke: adjective that characterizes any action or statement that goes against a bigot’s opinion.

This. Full AMD on my last build as well.

I don’t care about any corp, I was looking at best bang for buck at the time. I was shocked how everyone I knew was like you should get this intel or that Nvidia, and when I asked why not , all I was getting back was marketing blabber.

inundates you with porn which might not be what you’re going for at the moment

Oh. How… Uh… I’ll be right back.

I’d do it just to style on the new guy, start with something like “ah, so humanity has lost the skills that we possessed in the days of yore…”

(TL note: this is in reference to companies refusing to up the pay for their skilled workforce, and ending up paying more to new guys that’ll have to learn it all from scratch)

I get the feeling in OPs post, but for those unfamiliar, there are more people on the ballot other than the 2 main picks. This even varies by state, as they can have different criteria for defining who makes it to the ballot.

So perhaps a black woman has at some point ran for president (as in, made it to the ballot at least)?

I use TZ identifiers, and confirm the expected behaviour (“Berlin time, correct?”), as then I know how I should handle DST changes.

It should be implemented in people’s brains.

How this goes, usually, is:

Them:…before 6PM.

Me: 6PM… Ours? The server’s? The user’s?

Them: GMT, of course.

Me: So that’s 7PM London right now, and changes to 6PM in November?

Them: What no are you stupid. Always 6PM GMT.

Me:* jumps off a cliff*
