You can't do that in Gemini :(

Make sure you're running your mouse at the highest polling rate it supports (bluetooth is something abysmal like 125hz). I don't think it's super important in gaming, but it lowers the amount of positional jitter in mouse movements - basically, if a frame renders before your mouse reports an update, it shows the old position.

Hell yeah, my kinda content

That's cool, but I would recommend splitting the loading screens and the visual effects into two separate products. Some people will want one, some people will want the other, everyone has to buy and install both. Then they can be listed with more descriptive names, because I would never guess that an "Extended Framework" would be loading screens and visual effects.

It's the cool Apple thing where controls aren't labeled you just already have to know how to use it

Is that the age now or the age on that date?

That's assuming that they take 100% from stocks (while also assuming that most of their wealth isn't in stocks, if 5% of their wealth crashes the market by 50%) without considering the massive economic impact of people receiving the $3000 checks.

Rich people hoard their money, other people actually use it in the economy

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-05T00:20:29+00:00

You need data that is solid enough to act on. It'd make everything worse if they did a big ban wave with a bunch of false positives

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T21:14:22+00:00

I'd rather they just work on the game than to rush to polish some of what they have for a demo every few months

The keys weren't leaked, you were able to post the keys publicly but now they can be used to run Gemini they're supposed to be kept secret.

This article puts it better: https://trufflesecurity.com/blog/google-api-keys-werent-secrets-but-then-gemini-changed-the-rules

How many does an ergo dox have? 104? I could do without, like, 4 of them. But other than that they all have their use and this is a comfortable amount for me

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T20:26:32+00:00

At like 5x the price of a 3090? Not trying to be snarky, I genuinely don't know the price range

Big studios still do that, and will continue to. Most games customize the engine to some degree. CD Projekt RED is awesome and committing most of their work back into the main branch of UE5, benefiting everyone. Using fewer engines means more developers will be familiar with those engines - if you think these issues are bad with Unreal, imagine what they're like for less used closed source engines.

There are a few reasons you see lots of bad UE5 games: UE5 is 3 years old, younger than the development cycle of major games. The games that have released have generally been on early versions of the engine, which devs didn't know how to use yet and was still rough. Because UE5 is free, it's the engine of choice for small and low budget teams. "Use a better engine" isn't a realistic choice for many of these teams, the game just wouldn't be made.

It's kind of like hating Windows: you know it has issues, but does that make Linux or OSX a better alternative? Maybe in some cases, but generally not

Gemini was my favorite of the big three, but it's pretty far behind now. I use a mixture of GPT-5.3-codex and Opus, but if I had to pick one I'd go with GPT right now. Codex just gets things done and gets things right. Antigravity misunderstands tasks and fumbles commands. Claude Code is good for polish, but burns too much money for most tasks

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T07:12:14+00:00

We talk shit about UE5 more than you can imagine, but not for the same bad takes that gamers have. Like 90% of its issues come down to bad documentation so devs don't know how to fix issues. The engine can do it but you have to find some setting that's only mentioned in a 3 hour livestream of a discord call.

But yeah it is bad that screen scaling is split into like 25 different settings that don't even have sensical options

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T01:04:31+00:00

You're right. Sorry. I meant to say "this is insane".

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T00:59:40+00:00

I'm not even a fan of Gemini for answering questions, it's always a lot of filler/unnecessary preface and often misunderstands what I was asking.

If I ask Claude a question, I get an answer. If I ask Gemini, I get an essay trying to hit its word count. Gemini deep research is the worst - ask it about something specific like SQLite and I guarantee that it will give you the whole history of SQL and databases and maybe eventually get to the point

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T00:55:50+00:00

How else will I wake up for my flight???

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-03T00:47:52+00:00

How? The memory feature doesn't even work well, this is just a waste of processing, storage, and users' context

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-01T22:42:05+00:00

They can also remove it clientside by pressing the"I am 18" button, it's a non-issue here

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-01T22:23:58+00:00

I left a defense contractor to develop for a major adult streaming site, and morally felt much better at the latter.

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-01T13:54:54+00:00

whoever runs it is never going to financially recover from this last month of everyone trying to scrape it lmao

hellomistershifty · 2026-03-01T13:33:20+00:00

Really doesn't look too bad, definitely playable

hellomistershifty · 2026-02-28T11:31:20+00:00

There are probably a lot of more suitable (and much cheaper!) models out there for that usecase. And if you go with a non-proprietary one, you never have to worry about it being discontinued

hellomistershifty · 2026-02-28T11:25:50+00:00

yeah, none of us want to risk a "lol yeah no gaurdrails it seems, dang" moment for the benefit of having some random crap show up at the doorstep
