I need a job that can just pay the bills, it doesn't need to be tech or game dev as long as it's not training ai garbage models or some shit. Cost of living is insane

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

so sonic generations (2024) from sonic x shadow generations has a HUGE frame pacing issue, and it's because it only renders one backbuffer (meaning it's only preparing one frame in advance) making it have three backbuffers practically solves the fps dips

you all realize that patrick miller wasn't leading the entire dev team of 2xko, or even in one of the top spots, right? if you're going to blame him for somehow derailing 2xko, then you might as well say every single dev on the team was actively sabotaging the game.

marvel tokon on pc is still as locked down as it was during the beta - no linux. there is NO WAY to play the game on linux because it actively refuses through both eac and theia - no modding. no potato mod, no hitbox images, no recolors. - no model rips. no funny fan animations damn it sony.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

while messing with sonic racing crossworlds modding a few months back, i realized that dull, sort of gray/washed out look in a lot of ue5 games is because the ACES filmic tonemapper (left) isn't really that appealing. AgX (right) with some balancing is a lot nicer
