@stoneymonster Okay now I really want Wendy's to do a ChatGPT thing, but, if anyone says anything to make it go off script, it just replies "Sir, this is a Wendy's."

@a1ba I love photos like this where you can just imagine the backstory.

But now I'm curious whether a whole batch of these were fed into the bending machine backwards, or if somehow a single one got flipped, and why.

@thepoliticalcat @guihn288 Imagine the marketing meeting where someone says "People are saying that our notifications are getting creepy" and then someone is like "We can use this. What if we blame the owl?"

It just struck me what Apple got wrong with its “crushing ad.”

They thought we would identify with the iPad, not the creative instruments and materials.

scottmichaud,
@scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@glennf Interesting thought.

Personally I think their mindset was more "We're compressing human art and innovation" when it looked more like "Fear my crushing presence, humanity!"

i feel like people dont appreciate nearly enough that the answer to "omg they cant do that!" is far too often "they can unless you sue them and get a judge to agree with you that they cant"

scottmichaud,
@scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@eniko And the opposite is also true. "Am I allowed to" (ex: fair use discussions) doesn't mean that they won't try to sue you anyway and hope you'll settle out of court.

you ever think about how the standard cartoon bomb (a large blue or black sphere with a big fuse coming out the top) is essentially the "save icon" of destruction, because 1) it's symbolic meaning is widely understood, and 2) it's an anachronism that is widely recognized only for its symbolic meaning as its real life counterpart is long obsolete?

So a weird thing about having in the past been a mac user and in the present moving to Canada is that all these headlines involving the PPC just scan as initially very strange to me

why the fuck do I have python 2.2 installed?
2.7, yeah, sure, I live in the past. two copies of 2.7? yeah, I guess I needed 32bit 2.7 at some point.

BUT 2.2?!

So, because I don't have destructors in JavaScript, I iterate through all fields of this object and call

dispose(),
destruct(),
unconfigure(), or
terminate()

if they exist on the field.

By rights, I should also check for close() but that doesn't apply to this object... yet.

Btw: If today's announcement for Unity was "the final straw"

Context: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/unity-to-start-charging-fee-pegged-to-game-installs

... and they want assistance transitioning to another engine (unlikely but if anything would do it, this would be it) then I am available for consulting / contract development.

I have quite a bit of experience in both Unity and Unreal, particularly in terms of game logic, optimization, and graphics (and a lot of other disciplines, like SQL, VB.net, Java, WebDev, etc. of course).

@veronica@mastodon.online avatar

Is there anyone on here that has a recommendation for NVIDIA graphics cards? I haven't used them for a very long time, only AMD, so not really up to date on them.

I need it to run fine on Linux, which I hope has improved now. I will use it for not very demanding games like WoW, and for Machine Learning. I currently have an AMD Radeon RX 5700 GPU.

I was considering a Dual GeForce RTX 4070 OC, since it would fit in my box. I can't have any of the super long ones.

scottmichaud,

@veronica Talking with @Venn he seems to recommend the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB over the 4070, assuming your workload is more heavily skewed to VRAM usage than performance.

scottmichaud,
@scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@veronica Cool. It's a bit less VRAM but if 12GB works for your ML tasks then it should be faster.

scottmichaud,
@scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@veronica So... while there's some famous examples (Linus' NVIDIA hand gesture) about ex: Optimus, the driver quality in general I've seen has been NVIDIA > the rest (except when they chose to not care, like Wayland and Optimus and OpenCL 2).

As for specific cards... they're all kinda priced whacky these days. I run a 4070 and it's neat, although the Super launch messed with the price/perf ratio.

contemplating the ridiculousness of an otome game where all the boys are based on my own fictional crushes, who VERY MUCH do not fit into the same universe.

in this corner, a mystical knight who's been tortured by a shadowy religious institution!
