There is one very important takeaway in this John Oliver clip, that was cut from the TikTok screen grab version that’s recently shared on Fediverse:

  • Protests are messy, and you cannot expect everyone to behave uniformly;

  • When a protest is organized, opponents will say they are “orchestrated”;

  • When not, opponents will call them “rioters”;

  • So judge the larger cause, and don’t let incidents undermine the cause.

Listening to this episode and find the “America First” narrative super effective against some swing voters.

When the living cost is high, the “working with poorer countries means they are dragging us down” narrative continues to be persuasive to voters, that’s a huge problem in modern democracy.

Hot take: every custom engine is better than Unreal, Unity, or Godot, because it is written to serve a specific game.

@dphrygian only if you control the custom engine and its usage, in large corporation they end up serving multiple projects and you are back to square 1 (often less flexible/usable than commercial alternatives).

Bleh, the simple sample project I want to ship with LayerProcGen has started frequently crashing when exiting Play Mode. It's because I dispose the NativeArrays it uses on Application.quitting to avoid leaks, but some of the generation threads are still accessing the arrays, despite calling Thread.Abort() on them. For unpredictable reasons it doesn't cause issue in my own game.

I've tried a few fixes that didn't work, and I think I just don't know how to fix it properly.

@runevision delay for a frame and see how it goes? we had similar crash on exit when using ECS in Unity projects. I think you should be able to hook into exit event.

bitinn,
@bitinn@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@runevision also you should be able to terminate long running threads, are they real threads or ECS workers? If you have very long running single thread worker perhaps you can refactor it into something that process in chunks.

bitinn,
@bitinn@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@runevision I will have to look it up, how do you expect users to quit?

@runevision oh play mode, how about these: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayModeStateChange.html

Time to admit I have always been into low effort video games.

  • When I play Diablo-likes, I always pick the Necromancer-like class, where I reduce my clicks by summoning NPCs.

  • When I play Idle clickers, I always upgrade parts that reduce my need to manually click first.

  • When I play City builders, I always plan infrastructures ahead to avoid redistricting later.

  • When I play Life sims, I always level up my characters' stats first to reduce the time spent on doing chores.

Downside: I can't deal with games that require me to give increasingly more efforts in late games.

(The irony is I was also a JRPG guy, and I never entered a boss battle without overpowering my team first.)

I'm still not sure why Twitter keeps showing me US right wing trash posts when all I follow is pixel art stuff. Are all those all Russian trolls or is this just how Twitter works these days?

What's the purpose of certificates expiring again? From my limited perspective it doesn't serve much else than adding unnecessary work for sysadmins, so I'd love to know if there's a legit reason for it.

bitinn,
@bitinn@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@grizeldi not a lot of good reasons beyond security, to be honest with CA transparency it is pretty easy to revoke compromised certificate. But then Apple came in and the rest is history.

@BartWronski in other replies he is calling the HK protestors CIA funded (that CIA wasn’t able to find mandarin speakers to do their jobs so they pick HK rioters).

@BartWronski Also how dare a USSR dude come here to judge HongKonger how they want to protest? Like he had some inherent right to deny people that don’t align with his belief?

These are the statements made by US politicians in 2019 regarding Hong Kong, when rioters were burning police cars, throwing Molotov cocktails.

bitinn,
@bitinn@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@yogthos Quick note 1: most of the HK protestors didn’t do that.

Quick note 2: HK general population had come out in millions during peaceful protests and local government didn’t meet their demands.

“If AI can stop worker exploitation, even somewhat, AI would indeed be the most chastised technology ever.”

“It is on petals exactly because employers have finally found that mythical force: one that sounds like plausible natural evolution of workplace, while at the same time, create fears of job replacement.”

“A perfect storm for more exploitation, don’t you think?”

Have a pair of what I think are American Racer snakes living in my yard. Yard is either rock, or pine needles with bamboo, or ferns. In 2023 I accidently found their prior home under the pine straw. Not sure where they sleep now. I'm surprised they get enough to eat on 1/3 acre of my unusual (for FL) residential land, and that my 4 year olds didn't scare them away.

@NOTimothyLottes from the looks of it i think they quite enjoy your place, maybe due to the warmth of gravels?
