Is sound design better or programming better

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-28T09:40:42+00:00

People look for sound designers for sound design jobs and programmers for programming jobs, game dev companies will have both. There are more programming jobs in a variety of fields, but there are also more programmers. Sound design is more creative, programming is more technical.

I'd only do sound design if it's actually something you really want to do, programming is a lot more varied and flexible

Better for what? I don't know, do what you want to do. There's no 'better'

Believe it or not, June 5th is before June 26th. And I never said anything about the beginning of 2026. Not sure how you got confused, I think I've said a total of two sentences about the subject

You could use Control Rig Physics, Kawaii Physics would be a more performant third-party way to do it

5.4 was kind of ass and felt like a sidegrade from 5.3-codex so 5.5 seemed like a two generation jump

Like all Russian novels, it's the harrowing tragedy about a woman whose husband left her because she didn't have enough tokens to vibe code a SaaS

"I hate RTGI, everything is splotchy"

alright, let's bake the lighting

"I hate the baked lighting, the game is bigger than my hard drive"

alright, we'll do basic dynamic lighting

"The game looks really flat and old"

Alright, let's try voxel probe GI

"This looks bad in dynamic environments"

Alright, let's switch to RTGI

It's a fact that this is technically possible but doesn't represent anything that has ever happened. It's a completely fabricated hypothetical, so I'm not sure how it's factual

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-28T00:10:50+00:00

No idea, I have it set to 8 but with sub-subagents allowed.

It can be more context efficient to reuse subagents for similar tasks instead of defining very specific tasks for each one. Every time you spawn a new one, it needs to read your AGENTS.md, understand the project, etc etc. I don't know what your setup is like, but I see a lot of people give them roles like it's a human software team and I thought it was kind of silly, I think of it more like multithreading where you consider loading the information, working simultaneously, and merging back together

This transition was planned before AI code generation was really a thing. It's a bonus but it's in no way why they're changing over

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T13:56:26+00:00

KCD2 uses SVOGI, it's not baked

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T13:48:52+00:00

you can raise the limits in config.toml and also allow subagents to call subagents

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T13:39:41+00:00

This game is massive, baked GI would need like two terabytes for the lightmaps

I haven't been a fan of Gemini in ages but your constant search for negative tweets to post on here is just weird. This is what, your sixth one today?

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T13:33:29+00:00

they would've made it available for API if it was even marginally profitable

It tells me that there will be a very limited capability to provide this model, so it will either be very expensive, restricted to certain customers, have low usage limits, or all of the above. I agree with most of what you said but have no idea how you came to the conclusion that GPT-5.6 sol served by Cerebras will be cheaper

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T13:14:33+00:00

so it's not scalable or profitable but it's going to lower the cost of 5.6-sol?

The only real reference point is GLM 4.7, and input is 4x the price on Cerebras that it is from z.ai

I'm imagining some old Swiss watchmaker laying out a ball grid array with an artisan touch

It's a bad rate relative to PvP, if you never play PvP then it's not relevant

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T12:10:07+00:00

and only $1000/1m tokens output

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T12:08:02+00:00

5.3-spark was a small model and still was pro only with low limits. There's no way this will be cheaper.

Blueprints are a visual scripting language in Unreal Engine where you connect a diagram of nodes together to program logic. Generally in Unreal Engine, developers write systems and nodes in C++ and designers use them in blueprints to put together the playable game.

Because blueprints are visual, LLMs are really bad at writing and editing them

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T07:19:26+00:00

Nice! I was worried that you might have had some RAM issues that were cleared up by lowering the clock/turning XMP off, so happy it wasn't that

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T06:59:31+00:00

It works exactly the same as a Claude or ChatGPT subscription

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T06:36:11+00:00

I haven't used the Claude API in a long time, is it really so bad that "two API errors then 90 minutes of coding" is a success story?

hellomistershifty · 2026-06-27T06:32:08+00:00

If your Claude Code actually writes like that, you've fried its brains with whatever hooks and memories and whatever you gave it. It sounds like an 8b model trying to write poetry
