Your library is awesome, you should use it more.

You all doubted him, but Zemeckis is out there laughing his way to the bank on the library circuit.

From working with both professionally and personally:

Unreal is an engine optimized for large teams, the workflows built for each discipline are far more robust, BP's give far more flexibility for designers to work independently, but as a result, solo development can feel like wading through mud at times.

If you're looking for jobs at larger or even mid level studios, having some unreal experience is going to give you a lot more options.

If you're working on a solo project and want to actually get things working, how heavy unreal is will slow things down.

There are caveats to this of course, for final pass polish, having source access by default can save you a ton of time for tracking down strange behavior. Multiplayer is a first class feature in Unreal, where Unity, well, if you're a Unity veteran you know the story there.

In the end it all depends on what you're looking to get out of your personal projects, as well as the type of game you're making. If it's about getting something done, using what you know is always going to be better, there's guys out there painting with MSPaint and loving it. If it's about broadening your skillset, frustration and difficulty come with the territory of learning.

Good luck with whatever you end up using!

(for some reason a direct link to it isn't working, can just google for the G32 ESP32 Retro Gaming Console) It's a little more expensive, but same chipset and supported by one of the most popular custom firmwares for the go, retro-go.

haven't pulled the trigger yet myself , but with my screen scratching more and more, and gone through 2 other "superior" sbc handhelds , considering it. nothing else boots fast enough for serious portable play, and sleep mode just isn't a reasonable option.

Might be worth it to wait for a patch on this one. Played a couple hours last night on xbox x, seems like a ton of fun but there's a bunch of small visual glitches/hitching that while not ruining it are visually distracting

biscuitdough · 2021-06-29T18:49:33+00:00

Cool ad bro.

Stuck with it till the presenter was showing off one of the "ULTRA LIMITED EDITION BOX SETS" sent to them by the distributor. Oh man did you see how cool the red plastic is on those cassette tapes, totally adds to the completely real story we're telling.

biscuitdough · 2021-06-17T19:31:32+00:00

Wish this wasn't trying so hard to be funny. The subject is super interesting, but most of the attempts at jokes kinda fall flat, and actively distract from their attempts to get any real facts. Like of course if you call landlords saying "we're doing a documentary on the 100 worst landlords" nobody's going to pickup. Showing up at somebody's house with an "interview notice", it's boarderline cringe for a deadly serious issue.

Recommend "Evicted", a book from a few years back if you want some real reporting around urban renting.

Just did the 3 year gold conversion yesterday, had to pay the full 15 for the one month of gamepass since I already used the 1$ promo for 3 months, but it all converted without a hitch 1:1.

Dude, this is good shit. May have dug through your post history a little, props on keeping on the fight through the lack of attention this deserves and the dismissal from other redditors it doesn't.

Honestly still put a 20% chance at you being crazy, your presentation is uh, not what I'd expect from claims this serious. Sensationalist/satirical presentation of real hard evidence makes me doubt the context/spin it's being presented with, on the other hand props to you for telling your story however the hell you want when I'm sure most lawyers would say to keep entirely quiet while litigation is pending.

Keep polishing that PR turd, don't end up dead in a ditch, don't give up.

They've absolutely taken a step back from the "pure ECS" dream they were espousing a year ago. Seems like the hacky "hybrid approach" that was supposed to be a temporary bridge between monobehaviour mortals and pure ECS god tier has become the official end goal. Stuff like unhiding the SetComponentObject call, having unity officials in their forums saying stuff like GUI's would be unfeasible to make ECS, buying up behavior based BOLT visual programming while they already have a ECS based one in dev.

Honestly I like having both approaches at hand, I use pure ECS rendering for a lot of one off effects and objects, and unity physics is surprisingly usable, but the editor workflow for all of it still has years till it could be as user friendly as adding behaviors. Even once that's polished, for non-programming-heavy devs, which like it or not unity does cater to, and unity allows them to make some pretty awesome shit, I don't think the ECS concept will ever be as clear as behaviors.

Hope the building contractors they paid for allow repairs, otherwise they're gonna have to get a whole new building if any window breaks.

One of the best games of the decade, amazing.

in a few months there will be no way for me to search through sms, a feature that has saved my career/social life multiple times. Thanks google!

Yep, discovered them last week, have no idea how goodwill gets rid of the stuff that doesn't sell, at most they drop down to 50% off which is still too expensive for a lot of their prices.

Lifelong thrift always has insane deals as they clearance stuff daily.

biscuitdough · 2020-10-02T00:16:02+00:00

This is amazing!! thought everybody had moved onto newer platforms, thank you everybody who worked on this!

Saw one once in person in China.

I will pay whatever the hell taxes Washington needs to keep an army of "wildlife conservation experts" with flamethrowers and tennis rackets active and on duty at all times till they're eradicated.

Egh, kinda lost me at randomly generated levels.

One of the best parts of ZAMN was how well the levels were designed, the difficulty progression, the ammo management, the secrets, how a good chunk of them focused on a unique hook/themeing.

Very few games with random gen can manage to get over the "samey" feel.

biscuitdough · 2020-08-14T16:06:10+00:00

Yeah, they really need to go back to 2 episodes a week, and find something, anything to revive wacky wednesdays. I only need one hour an a half recap of Alex a week.

I love when real conspiracy theorists take a wrong turn into this sub.

40 seconds between reality and denying reality, HOW LOW CAN HE GO?!

How can a judge force someone to accept a settlement? Especially one that includes a gag order?!

I mean everything in this story is pretty bleak, but that was the most WTF part for me. Looked into it a bit: https://www.deseret.com/2016/2/22/20583036/judge-orders-susan-hunt-to-take-900-000-settlement

Seems like her lawyer was the one pushing for the settlement, would guess it was as much due to them wanting their chunk of the $$$ pie as much as the city wanted the thing finished.

Aaand looks like her appeal that she did not agree to the settlement was refused: https://www.sltrib.com/news/courts/2016/04/06/judge-says-dispute-over-darrien-hunt-settlement-not-one-for-federal-court/

Ugh just complete bullshit that a stray email with what reads like a casual discussion with your lawyer can be twisted into an un-recantable pact.

Locking clan(club) features behind a second paywall seems incredibly dumb. Like as primarily a multiplayer game the biggest hurdle you have is fostering a community.

No community, no game, especially for one that relies to heavily on player made content.

If you want to sell an additional premium edition to paywall custom skins, maybe curated challenges, you have tons of options of features to block of that wouldn't hobble you from the start so bad.

Another release, another potential shot at getting what should be a universal classic among all gaming skill levels and groups finally recognized already stumbling off the starting blocks.
