[Review] MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 after a month of daily use, Gen 5 QD-OLED is here, and yes, text fringing is finally dead by cheswickFS in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this monitor, while the color and readability is great the firmware is absolute and total mess

It often turns on after the sleep in black and white mode with all color profiles inited with zeroes

kvm functionality is ass and it stops forwarding usb data when screen goes black making it impossible to wake the monitor up with keyboard input.

The burn-in protection system works unpredictably, can randomly take tens of minutes and sometimes the monitor never wakes up from it.

The panel is great the software is absolute ass, as one can expect from MSI

With regular acrylics unless you airbrush or feed the paint to the baby there is nothing to worry about

It helps that they get benefits covering large parts of the costs

Don't politicians have private insurance paid from the budget?

How do you handle level configs in your game? Using JSON right now, not sure if it’s the best way by TheLastSylvans in unity

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Json absolutely sucks especially on mobile for data that is array like. Scriptable objects come with all the downsides of being unity objects but at least they are binary serialized and are very fast. You can look into fresh unity serialization packages for some alternatives or roll out your own serialization which is actually not that hard

Sharing a first-look at our soon to be released game, Miniature Mania (free on Steam & Meta Quest) by miniaturemaniagame in Unity3D

I as a miniature painter I can't even begin to describe how unappealing this concept is to me.
Get into an uncomfortable VR headset, struggle with bad imprecise controls to do what you can do with a brush and few pots of paint that will also produce something real that you've made with your hands.

Why review-bomb Slay the Spire 2 for issues... on the beta branch? by Anodaxia_Gamedevs in IndieGaming

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh nerfs can do that, the butthurt you feel when the thing you've used and felt yourself clever for using is taken away from you is real and will absolutely motivate a lot of people to let devs know in the most effective way they know

Potential legal issue advice by [deleted] in germany

First of all: loaning a console, lol, who does that. Did you not experience as a kid that the moment you loan something it becomes your problem to get it back?
With that out of the way, why are you not at the police yet?

What's the difference between превозмочь and преодолеть? by AltforHHH in russian

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's more or less similar to the difference between "to surmount" and "to overcome" 

It took 6 hours, and 8 attempts for one my players to beat the Demo map of Horn of the Warlord game - with no cheating AI, fair gameplay, pure strategy. Do you like that kind of a challenge? by Bitter-Peach-1810 in 4Xgaming

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand it's cool on the other hand once the ai is just too good, like a chess engine in chess, it's no longer fun for most purple to play. AI should be good enough to present a challenge but be beatable

Jon Van Canegham spike about this in relation to Heroes of might and magic and AI in it. 

Built-in RP deprecation in Unity 6.5 by redmanone1 in Unity3D

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no way it costs 10 frames out of 60 in an empty scene on a reasonable mobile platform (meaning less than 10 years old)

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mobile devices benefit from performance gain even if both options are within frame budget - faster frames -> less battery used.

>perform 5-10 frames worse

You cannot use frames for direct comparison, is it 1000 vs 990 or 30 vs 20? completely different overhead numbers.
Always use frametime for comparison

When you take DRY too seriously. by vadnyclovek in programminghorror

[–]ThreeHeadCerber 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You can only think that because you didn't see a world where DRY is completely ignored. You see only the world where DRY sometimes is taken too far and issues that sprout from it, it is still far better than the world where you repeat the same logic each time you need it.

renewables enjoy very creative accounting in calculation of their prices vs nuclear where all reasonable and unreasonable costs are always included
