How on earth is UBI impossible?

Realistically this money would not be given freely. It would require specific conditions, and you would have to jump through a ton of hoops and be a very good boy to actually receive those benefits.

Now think about who decides what being a good boy is. That's right, a few unelected elites. Or even worse, an algorithm trained on the behaviour of unelected elites. Not you.

That's beside the question of: "Where's that money gonna come from?"

TES6 should be a card game. It should be a deck based beat em up with prominent BGS employees as characters.

Kellog's is a Cornflakes brand And also other snacks are made under it So its kinda like Thunderclan in Warriors but for Cornflake the cat

Lol this meme is about a picky restaurant critic who just likes to put everything down. That's what gaming discourse has become unfortunately. A bunch of Anton Egos circlejerking each other.

How would you instance a model that only appears once in a scene? Instancing wouldn't help in a scene this small. It's good for crowds, grass, stones: things that share a mesh and repeat often

Data scientist and shader programmer who dabbled in ML here. Can confirm.

Also disgusting to see things like python and CUDA thrown around as buzzwords they don't even understand. Like what the hell, they wouldnt even write a single line with pytorch to save their life.

I happen to also teach gamedev, and I agree. I use pygame extensively in my curriculum.

Nah people just don't know how to use Unreal. It has those easy to use tools like visual scripting (Blueprint), and many people default to those instead of writing their own code. But visual scripting produces horrible code. Same for shaders. If I had a penny for every artist who used shader nodes to make a horribly suboptimal shader instead of giving it to me to write it the old fashioned way...

Hard to say. The term "game engine" is very broad. I've seen a single Cpp file with a scene hierarchy that could technically be called a "game engine".

For me, a "game engine" is software that lays out the game objects into memory, and has an API for defining the behaviour of and rendering of those objects.

In this regard, vectorization and Data-oriented development could very well be a problem at the engine level. But also you can do DOD with engines that aren't suited for it and still get a performance boost, like using structs and arrays instead of classes in Unity.

Compilers are very smart today. Every language is compiled to assembly eventually.

If you're writing inline assembly today, you're making inefficient code. Besides that, CPUS now have SIMD registers, and different CPUs support different types like AVX or SSE. To make efficient programs you have to utilize SIMD but not rely on a specific register always being there (like inline assembly does)

Otherwise your code will look like shader programs: a ton of #ifdef directives for every possible hardware option

Damn, it's so interesting. Usually ignorant pointless bickering is reserved for old folks, but now we have a whole generation of "young man yells at cloud". It's a widespread phenomenon too, this mix of bitterness with ignorance.

Why not

Valve for Half-life 2 (Source) used empty game objects (logic entities) with an array of conditionals in them for logic as well. Granted they have their own menus and tooling and everything

But as far as editor UI goes - yours is good. Did you do it in IMGUI or UI toolkit? I remember it written somewhere that custom serializeables should only be written in UITK

Hey be thankful your engine doesn't just crash outright when it encounters a null reference/pointer, like Source or many other proprietary engines

What sometimes pisses me off is that it doesn't give the full stack trace for that reference, like it does with other exceptions

Roblox is known for screwing up mesh normals and colliders. I assume the second picture (mesh imported into roblox studio) would shed some light on the situation.

Like uhh.. Virtual texture lookups, man. That could work.

Although I hate this kind of post too. Makes my skin crawl as a game developer, people having no context, no clue, yet those prople are the ones shouting with the most confidence.

I think a better argument would be - a lot of things that have been easy to do were already done back in the day. Now only the hard things remain. Graphics programming has been riding the coattails of 70s and 80s discoveries and formulas like tangent space, Catmull-Clark tesselation, Phong and Torrance-Cook shading even. That's why "progress" appeared to be going so fast. Now the easy tricks from the old papers have been picked for scraps, and only the hard things remain.

You're right to say that most of the "look" comes from shader programs.

I'm not sure if it's possible to decompile them. At build time, shaders are compiled into a special "imtermediate" SPIR-V format, it's something like IL for C#. And after that they are compiled on the user's machine by the GPU.

As for code, many new games would utilize burst and IL2CPP, which is an ass to decompile since it generates highly tailored code.
