A key thing to understand about the technology industry is that Hacker News is a very well-known community for some kinds of coders to hang out; it is an extremist content site run as paid promotion for the venture capital firm YCombinator. Here, an ordinary discussion of the obvious reality that tech workers deserve unions features responses citing explicitly white supremacist rhetoric as a counterargument. No one is even surprised that this is how YC markets itself. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37507458

saga,

@anildash my favorite thing about that HN thread is all the experienced people making strong arguments about the value of unions only for the bulk of the commenters to completely ignore them while engaging with asinine navel gazing and yak shaving of entirely fabricated "worker productivity" numbers

Does your server federate with threads? If so, have you seen any posts from there?

saga,

@aeva @eniko yeah it's not blocked on gamedev.place - for science I follow a couple of coworkers who are on threads and have their bridge enabled. I don't really imagine there will be problems until the bridge allows threads user accounts to interact with fedi accounts. Then we'll get the bots and all the nonsense that exists over there over here and having an instance block will be more of an issue.

take this with a grain of salt because I'm a bit of a princess about frame rate, but FF7R-2's "graphics mode" is practically a slide show :(

saga,

@aeva dangit. Here's hoping there's an optimization that will be out the door shortly. I'm also a princess about framerate 😫

My favourite rewards are the Real River Trip and the Be Our Motor levels. Read them and imagine what it must be like to take a circus down the Mississippi on a makeshift boat.

saga,

@neilhimself I think I've read this story before, but, I can't quite remember if it's a comedy or a tragedy.

Really though, what a weird and wonderful collective manifestation of human creative expression!

Ark version control for games seems like a nice option, but it's lack of a Mac client is a non-starter for me. They say it coming so I'll wait. I am also skeptical of their locking scheme, it seems very error prone. Maybe they have normal locking as well. A Twitter account but a lack of a Mastodon account is also a red flag.

saga,

@grumpygamer I'm watching for the outcome of this with deep interest. I've considered plasticSCM but it being attached to unity makes me pretty nervous.

I hate feeling guilty about taking sick days when I have covid 😓

saga,

@tashasounart no way, not acceptable. Rest when your body needs it and don't feel guilty for a biological imperative that you have no control over!

You should take care of your physical and mental health because doing so IS taking care of your team!

I know it's a day late but I just want to publicly congratulate my comrades over on the Jedi Survivor team for the new release. The game is AMAZING and they should be incredibly proud of what they've built.

I've seen it described as "the best Star Wars game in twenty years" meaning the best SW game since KotOR 😵‍💫 and I'd have to agree, it really is remarkable top to bottom.

Phenomenal work Respawners. Truly excited to finally see more of it myself!

saga,

@jay yep I'm also one of the chipsets that's impacted perf wise. Ive been playing it anyways because I can't help myself 🤣

I'm sure the team will have it sorted in short order!

Dude you have the wrong email address. Please stop.

saga,

@aeva yeah I thought that too but it's weird they're just requesting recovery codes over and over. Like... They're not going to suddenly get sent somewhere else? But whoever it is is still trying.

So indydevs - when you're working on a personal project how often do you find yourself investing your time in tooling and process automation before jumping full-bore into game code?

saga,

@aeva me too

Well. We are very fucked.

@_benui hahah I did not get that pop-in. That is wonderful 😂

Living through late-stage humanity sure is a wild ride. And it hasn't even really started yet.

saga,

@_benui super stoked to be around for the water wars of 2040

Make no mistake, forced RTO is just a soft layoff. The AAA games industry is an absolute mess.
