As a lifer of gaming (with a wife with similar tastes), prior to having kids my friends and I would have the discussions about "raising our kids right on the old games". I can't cl…

It’s funny, I had the same experience, and my stepdad told me recently that they close to buying me one, and eventually decided to just do a full upgrade of our machine instead. I’…

Just as good a time as ever to post one of my favorite classic deep YouTube video's, Hurra Torpedo's cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Slightly NSFW, some plumber's crack: https…

Complete gut reaction to your first question, my preference would be two fold: 1. An option to start the game in timeless mode 2. When I fail a word, prior to showing me the word, …

In high school and college I worked at a Christmas tree farm, and eventually was also a landscaper/hardscaper, caring for, digging up and planting trees, and building retaining wal…

The emergent behavior is very much our end goal, it’s the reason everything is very systems oriented, and we’re trying to put as much control in the players hands as possible. One …

It’s such an untapped domain, and despite the consoles being more tightly integrated this generation, we’re still mostly using the horsepower for traditional AAA realism-focused gr…

Two months ago I went full time on my indie game after just under a year and a half of part time work. I’ve been prototyping in Godot for about 6 years now, and finally had a game …

Not sure to what extent you're looking for a reboot to be representative of the original, but I've been following the development of this indie spiritual successor for some time: h…

Because I don’t believe 50% gross margins at face value, as being discussed in this thread I think the economics of all of these things are far more complex than that. For what it’…

I’ve been a copilot and ChatGPT subscriber for probably close to two years now, give or take a couple of months, and I had a trusted friend telling me for months to give Claude a t…

I'm not sure I've ever read something from someone so high up in a company that gave me such a strong feeling for "I'd like to work for these people". If job posts could be so info…

Once I gave this sometime I actually enjoyed the concept quite a bit. I think it's a novel twist on the bullet hell genre, and I'm a sucker for single button/input style games. I'm…

> Frustrated by the constant intrusions of child care and housework — “the back half of life,” as she called it — on her creative ambitions, she resolved to simply turn the work in…

I'm in the depths of optimization on a game right now, and it's interesting how the gains I'm making currently all seem to be a matter of scaling the concept of lookup tables, and …

This mimics my experience. I bought the absolute bottom barrel M1 when they launched to replace my 2014 MBP, 8gb RAM and 128gb of space. The HD space is annoying, but otherwise thi…

Is there a reasonable pivot for someone well versed in the software engineering space to get in, or is it still the playground of relevant Ph.Ds and the like? I've been up and down…

The comments here are pretty funny, and do almost nothing for me more so than highlight the subjectivity of musical taste. I'd never claim to be an authority on music, but as the c…

I've read so many flavors of this sort of exploit analysis over the years, and if I get to read 100 more I'll be all the happier for it. Great article!

For the climber, I thought the final solution was going to end up being rails that just pushed a weight further out from center mass at the top of the tower. The ball pendulum was …

I went down this path and tried various vertical mice, and settled on the MX V for a few months in the pursuit of reducing wrist pain. After about 4-5 months or so, I started getti…

> "software that sparks joy" I too put Aesprite in this category, but the big one for me is Godot. After years of from-scratch OpenGl projects and dabbling with Unity, I leaned int…

This is incredibly cool!

I had the same feeling, and I think along with what the other commenters have said, the bit rate of the image contributes to it as well, you can see the grain in the light backgrou…

I’ve noticed something similar, just a half hour of noodling on the guitar/bass while working in the middle of the day and I type way faster and correctly afterwards.
