Agreed completely. I started using NextDNS partially to get ads out of News+.

Change to real Visual Studio for C#. Visual Studio Code is complete garbage in comparison.

I visit Yamagata every year. I love how in Japan each region has their own specialties, it makes it fun to travel within the country. It would be sad if the snow monsters disappear…

This article from 2005 has the toy idea. It has stuck with me. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/how-to-prototyp...

You’re right but it was called Yakuza in the west for many years. I don’t know if they made the right decision or not renaming it but it is interesting to consider if it made an im…

I agree with you. I want to play Alan Wake 2 on PC and since it is only sold on the Epic Store I will buy it there. If it was on Steam I would have likely bought it on Steam. But i…

Considering how similar Bloodborne is to other From Software games I assumed it was developed 100% at From with Sony as the publisher. But I have no idea what the reality is. Did J…

I’m not the prior poster but it’s a median benchmark based on real-world surveys of game developers who are willing to share their data. (Source: I’ve participated in one such surv…

12 years ago I worked remotely for the first time from a small apartment. For the first 6 months or so I loved it. The flexibility primarily. But I came to hate the isolation. I cr…

I don’t understand the distinction. You can sell a game on your own website today without using any of these technologies if you want to avoid walled gardens.

I agree - when trying to watch something next to a sleeping partner even 1 step above muted is too loud. Annoying. I often watch Netflix muted and read subtitles because of this. I…

Not the original poster but I’m going to seriously consider this. I’m at my wits end with a male cat who habitually meows at 2 am and 5 am point blank in front of my face.

Anyone sign an office lease recently? Any negotiation tips? I’m looking for new space in SF, moving from a current lease near Union Square to something bigger.

If you care about performance you should not be using a laptop as your primary workstation. Period.

Hi all - I'm Mark Cooke, the CEO of Shiny Shoe, the creators of Monster Train. We released on May 21 and have been in the global top seller list on Steam since. The game currently …

Regarding suggestions for alternatives to Jenkins I’m curious if anyone has any for game dev use cases. We use Jenkins now and build for PCs, consoles, and mobile. Almost all of ou…

Yes. And agreed. I’m sure whoever came up with the idea got a nice raise.

One anecdote - I moved to Japan 12 years ago when I was 26 to work as an engineer in a game company. I stayed for two years. Like anywhere there were pros and cons but overall it w…

Got it, that was the main missing link that I was looking for. Devices are frequently phoning home to get an updated certificate revocation list.

Anyone know how the revocation and subsequent reversal works at a nuts and bolts level? I’m curious.

No, this is new drama as of this evening. Related, for sure, but this is escalating quickly!

That was a very useful article. Thank you for the link.

Wow, that sounds great! I used to play on DWANGO a lot as an early teen (13 or 14, back in 1994-95). Somehow I convinced the DWANGO staff to make me a moderator on the San Francisc…

Every time I upgrade I sell my old phone on eBay. I keep my hardware in good shape and I’m often surprised at the resale value after 2-3 years. Feels great to recover some of the c…
