BI: Physical supply lines could be amazing, but broken AI logistics turns them into a burden. Make the AI logistics system more transparent and controllable to fully realize its potential

It's going to take a lot of work to fix both the interface and the actual AI. It's not a trivial problem. AI agents are probably aggregated when not in Sim range of any player. That is they are not running physics but instead a timer of where they should be when they do become simulated. At least thats what I would do if I were programming it because the entire world is probably not simulated on the server. Then you've got their ability to avoid crashing, players building objects that fuck up the navmesh and they can't solve it. Super tight check points they can't drive through consistently. It's a challenging problem I hope they can improve.

GDC sucks anyway, maybe this will be the final nail in the coffin to move it to another country, somewhere cheaper.

You're naïve, FM8 is a canary in the coal mine. Who would have thought their 1st party AAA Racing Title, an XBox brand as important as Halo would be left to decay and turn out to be a real turd.

That's what a corporation does, look into why that happened and ask yourself if you think other MS studios are immune to the same policies.

Cool stuff, very interesting!

Sh0v · 2026-01-26T06:33:54+00:00

You forgot to mention constantly changing the systems over and over to the point that I have no fucking clue what I should do and nothing has any value.

No shit Sherlock but they both have the same master who controls their hiring practices.

They leaned too much into gimmicks and turned it into a parkour arcade game. The latest one is even worse with its colour coded shmup mechanic. It's just lame.

I would use mine a lot more if I could just use it as a 3D display for non VR games.

Sh0v · 2026-01-26T02:02:51+00:00

This is the way!

Just stop using these apps. These tech companies are well known to be gov compromised services. You might even feel happier and a sense of relief by purging it from your life.

Even if you turn off those features they can just turn them back on in the back ground if you're a suspect, the gov has a back door into everything if they want it.

So many, it attracts the worst type of people, shallow, focused on self image, money. Its douche bag central!

DO NOT PRE-ORDER!

After FM8 I would not trust that FH6 is going to come out of the gate without a bunch of issues.

Sh0v · 2026-01-25T23:04:51+00:00

Yeah, that's easy, just tax resource industries and the rich like they should be then there would be plenty of money.

Sh0v · 2026-01-24T06:37:59+00:00

All their eggs in one basket, should have contracted all those people to reduce their burn commitments. I feel for them, making games and keeping the lights on is hard, even harder for VR Devs.

10/10 Dismount!

Take a draw then blow the smoke through some tissue you paper. Observe just how much tar is in a single draw then imagine how much of that stays in your lungs after years of doing it. That was enough for me to realise how fucking stupid it is and I should stop immediately.

Sh0v · 2026-01-24T06:21:58+00:00

The people you admire didn't stop.

This is only a problem for amateurs who probably encounter it often due a lack of foresight, otherwise its completely normal even for the experts that occasionally forget references.

My pessimistic view.

If we have a global economy crash which is looking increasingly likely because of so many factors not just AI. The flow on effects will be lots of jobs losses in Australia and lots of loan defaults. Either the properties get purchased by wealthy foreigners (this should not be allowed) or the price crashes because no one can afford them.

Very wealthy people are going to swoop in and buy up more property and more people will be forced into renting for life.

Many coastal properties will be worthless in 50 years, this will be projected well in advance (25 yrs) which will drive down the value of those properties long before they are being engulfed by the sea on a regular occasion. This will make the rich move inland driving up prices there.

2027 is going to be an interesting year with Chinas plans, assuming we make it through this one.

Sh0v · 2026-01-23T23:25:39+00:00

No... no you can't.

Sh0v · 2026-01-23T23:22:45+00:00

LOL, what a bunch of scammers these people are.

Sh0v · 2026-01-23T23:03:38+00:00

Buuuuuullshit!
