Other AI-generated game platforms are focusing on quality and personal consumption. I tried to do the reverse: a social network where each game is scrappy, WarioWare-like, and intended to be shared with friends and remixed.

  Made for kicks.

that should be perfectly fine

> Perhaps things are different now.

hehe, no. Things are pretty much the same. Source: I'm working with Unity daily.

> There are far more games that were made with Unity, not Unreal, I would even say an order of magnitude more.

that's correct. As the saying goes, it's easier to start making a game in Unity, but it's easier to finish it in Unreal. Most games in Unity are pretty small, or unfinished.

it's possible to make good and big games in Unity, but you can't rely on many Unity features in that case. Like, I'm sure there is barely any "Unity" in Genshin Impact, I bet they replaced most of the engine with custom tooling.

thanks for sharing this, I guess Gigaya was announced and axed in such a short timeframe, that I've completely missed it

Unity is a prime example of getting it wrong, as they aren't making their own games with their engine. When you go beyond small experiments with it, you realize that many undercooked, janky, abandoned features were driven by business needs, not developer needs. If there is only one reason why unity was never as good as Unreal for "serious" game development - it's this.

- finishing Atomic Habits(worth the hype, imo)

- Pale Fire, Nabokov

- Speaker for the Dead - I thought the first book was just ok, but praise for the sequel made me interested

- House Of Leaves

- Godel Escher Bach

- The Network State, by Balaji S. Srinivasan

- The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964

- The Minimalist Entrepreneur, by Sahil Lavingia

- Shoe Dog, by Phil Knight

can't find anything on "morphine", but animation blending is something that Unity/Unreal/etc had for a while. Although, I don't think any publicly available engine solves this like Ubisoft ML models do. Usually it requires at lot of work to look seamless

I think the main problem here is with transitions between animation states and matching each animation to the context. If ML motion matching[1] becomes popular in the industry, I think it would smooth out these issues a lot.

I use it to receive money from another country and exchange for USD in a local exchange point. It may sound like a boring case, but if you find yourself in a foreign country without working bank cards, it might save your ass

I'm receiving part of my salary in USDT, and find it valuable. Traditional banking system doesn't work well for everyone.

Coincidentally, I've never played Torment and installed it just 2 days ago.

Disco's world is depressing, but because the world is so dark, any light in the game stands out so much more. It's depressing world make good people in it and any small kindness matter.

never heard about NORCO, but steam reviews look great. I'll try it when I'd be itching for a point n click

disco elysium! Best writing in a game ever.

this stock(?) android doesn't look well-suited to the flip phone form factor. Is there an android UI made for feature phones?

among unique features of Foot, which one would you call the most useful?

I think it's a nice start for a unique style. I would suggest highlighting the main action button with some color.

are there any arch linux issues you haven't been able to solve on zephyrus g14?

as a professional Unity developer, I think Unity would be a much, MUCH better engine, if Unity Technologies would make commercial games with it, in-house. Just like Epic games do. Then they wouldn't tolerate all the crap unity devs have to deal with

can you share which fast plugin are you using?

The article says almost the same thing as the title on HN, just more emotional and personal.

did you try other high intensity exercise and found that slamming balls is superior, or slamming balls was just the first thing that came to mind?

I think the website would be more useful, if you can select what patterns you personally consider "dark" and filter by those. For example, I don't consider "Variable Rewards" as a dark pattern and don't want it to affect game scores in a list.

I heard the framework works with linux distros well, can anyone recommend places to check laptops linux support in general?

While other comments are wishing for the company to expand outside of laptops, I really hope they won't loose their focus. There is so much they can improve on in laptop space.

respect for arriving at a local maxima and calling it a day
