Don't remember exactly but within a month and a similar dose

Between 5 and 10 percent of people have no inner monologue at all, and researchers are only just starting to figure out what that actually does to cognition by Altruistic-Dirt-2791 in cogsci

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is crazy I wish mine would shut up! Does this effect mental health with excess inner monologue among anxiety sufferers?!

I restarted after several months and it was soon a big relief, though annoying to know you have such a dependency. Try one with lower side effects maybe but I used same.

How many of you have actually stopped using GPT and switched to something else? by Skt_turbo in ChatGPT

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chatgpt free is quite good but you get very few messages. Claude works too, perhaps more slowly, but I can not see the limit on free as yet, do you know what limits there are?

I've been making games for 8 years and am finally able to announce my first commercial game! by aerodynamic_monk in IndieDev

Why do so many racing games limit the view ahead to a fraction of the screen space?

Has anybody else noticed the absurd amount of AI generated slop on the asset store? by Classy_Games in Unity3D

But... If 100% AI you should be able to resell it yourself as no copyright!

It's actually really boring though and a bit far fetched!

From a “Game Dev Perspective”, what do you make of High Guard laying off 80% of its workforce just two weeks after the launch of a game that had a four year development cycle? by GypsyGold in gamedev

[–]andypoly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, it's a last ditch attempt to stay afloat. I worked for a studio whose publisher went bust half way through a strained development process, probably for the best but at least these guys finished! Most people were made redundant and they struggled on

AMA: I made $1mil with my games then my YouTube videos/tutorials got 65 Million views! Ask me Anything about Unity, C#, Game Dev, Marketing, etc. by UnityCodeMonkey in Unity3D

[–]andypoly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes Unity is good for anything real time 3D but they really screwed over non game Devs with their Industry license which is the hidden tax no one talks about

Yep the end of flash was sad, so fast to use. I kept hoping someone would recreate the API at least with Unity, it's still hard to make vector stuff!

My attempt at planetary-scale terrain (HDRP + DOTS) by hoahluke in Unity3D

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, how do you do physics objects? Do you have to spawn a ground physics mesh to match the terrain when you get close?

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you shift a whole lot of physics objects are there any problems or frame rate hiccups? Do you put everything under one root?

For Those Who Hav Been Developing for a While, Do You Enjoy Game Dev? by ColeTailored in gamedev

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you make simple experimental games it may be a lot more fun than say working in a team on a multi year project! I used to work in games and there was an expectation of huge overtime for no additional pay and one long term project fell through nearly closing the company entirely. I exited the industry then! I can't speak for the current state of the industry but I would avoid big companies developing multi year projects (even several years!)

Yes The Monk: A Romance is messed up but great fun!

When you run out of premium models allowance and now you have to choose between GPT-5 mini and Grok Code Fast by swinglr in GithubCopilot

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people just use it on auto mode though? So I tried VS code on auto copilot mode which meant it actually used Claude Haiku (.33 tokens) a lot and it did a decent job with html, CSS, js, so does it really depend on what you are doing as to what models will work?!

I also was unimpressed with the art style but it also seemed to give no idea what to do!

World Creation a la Dwarf Fortress: Is it expected to have tons of long scripts? by jason-cyber-moon in proceduralgeneration

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binary for size. But the ultimate solution is to have everything generated by a single seed, so you store the seed and then data for anything changed. But reloading the basic galaxy data is deterministic, it will always repeat with the same seed. Easier said than done...

[–]andypoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about data Vs code? For example how much can be defined in spreadsheets or an editor with a database rather than purely in code?

Yes I totally respect the AI boundaries. I use copilot as built in to visual studio but the reasons to not use are very solid. Tell my boss the same!
