I’m reading “ultra-capitalists” here as “those that control an extreme proportion of capital” rather than “those who believe really strongly in capitalism as a system”, though tbf …

I have ADHD & use a very similar kind of daily notes template. I think the reason that it works for me at least is that it shortcuts some of the "not knowing where to start" execut…

Aka Elvanse in the UK

I suspect it will be politically difficult to outright ban the ad model... might the same effect be achieved however by enforcing strict online advertising requirements & making we…

I also wonder the extent to which "pseudo-black-box-AI" is potentially driving some of these crazy valuations now due to it actually being used in a lot algorithmic trading itself.…

My super talented friend Ian is currently (and for the rest of this week) live streaming himself painting a triptych of portraits of Elon Musk. He's currently just getting started …

Anyone who might dismiss this as being just a few isolated cases — or who think it is desirable to just remove political opponents from the equation — should think long and hard ab…

I suppose so. There have always been stories of those kinds of things, but from the outside looking in, this definitely _feels_ different. Perhaps it's the privilege of my pigment …

I hear you. Feels like not that long ago that this would have been considered a fringe paranoid perspective. I used to being an early adopter & getting my real name as a username b…

Not really. I did set up a blog at biggles.games a while back but haven’t been actively updating it for quite a while & there’s nothing about our current project on there yet… prob…

Was actually planning to be at GDC this week & while there were other factors at play, the clincher was a feeling that there’s now a non-zero risk of getting caught up in some seri…

This looks fantastic! Love the premise & well done for what looks like an incredible solo effort. I was tech lead on Ozymandias & have another minified 4X in the works at the mo & …

Not quite… in the most common version of chessboxing it’s more a case of alternating between the chess & the boxing via, say, a 3 minute timer from the start of each “round”. You d…

Hadn’t thought of it in this context before but in game development a “vertical slice” could potentially be thought of as akin to the “pilot plant” in that it’s about proving out t…

They actually did, one of the approaches they tested included holding down combinations of keys for variable durations (the "Representation 4: Bitmask-Duration Sequence"), however …

Nice work! Good to see another Godot convert on here as well :-) It is great how quickly you can get something up & running & then iterate on it.

> Marketing effectiveness is not closely related to marketing spend on the Steam market for indie games. I would disagree with this, you can absolutely buy your way to the front pa…

I’m a solo indie developer trying to do almost exactly what this article advocates for and tbh, I’m not sure it’s been the right move. I’m almost 2 months into a project which esse…

I don’t know about “good” processes, but I definitely have processes… mainly just templates for daily notes & call/meeting notes & a plugin called QuickAdd. Though tbf, I’ve been u…

Also quite curious about this. Subjectively it certainly hasn’t felt like “the front page of the internet” to me for quite a long time, but suspect that’s just me getting old as we…

Absolutely, controllers don’t make sense at all for most of those kinds of use cases, and would only add friction. A device like this already has so many conflicting constraints to…

Not saying it can’t or won’t be used for gaming, but the lack of precisely tracked 6dof controllers does severely limit it from being usable with a lot of popular genres of VR game…

Interesting that it actually calls out game developers right at the start despite everything else announced about the headset indicating that they couldn’t care less about gaming o…
