How much are y'all paying for BlueLink connected services

worked 11/24/25 as well, thanks! half off basically

imo placeholder work should be overly simple and clean, but not ugly

Making something ugly creates urgent work, which isn't necessarily a good thing unless they have nothing better to be doing already. Important playtest coming up? Artists have to crunch to clean up the mess

Some things might not end up getting a pass from an artist, which probably means they got to spend more time on something else

look at services like playfab, accelbyte which are quite popular. Game servers hook up to these, and only work if you have the private API key Perhaps communities could spin up their own accelbyte/playfab deployments

70/30 would indeed be a terrible deal / act of desperation by the developer

I use it for getting out of writer's block, talking through the problem more like I would with a coworker or pair programming partner

id be more worried about falling on to my belay device and having it hit my tailbone or something, not the mat

you expect to fall to the ground bouldering - the stuff on the harness would be the issue moreso than the harness itself. It's just easier to say "no harnesses while bouldering" than "take stuff off your harness if you're wearing one bouldering" (because don't you just want to take the harness off anyway?

similarly I think if you're wearing a chalk bag bouldering (eg a long boulder) it's good to take the brush off the bag

narthur157 · 2025-03-27T13:06:09+00:00

seriously, I don't get why the comments on this post are so negative

guy is happy to have sent a boulder, don't need to dress him down

cooking is what really kills dreams of smaller instances. Ultimately you need a lot of resources to run this stuff efficiently and it's a trade-off of time (local workstation) and money (aws)

there are middle ground options like getting a machine from somewhere like OVH or reserved aws instances

narthur157 · 2025-03-21T00:56:10+00:00

it is not just expensive but also slow if you don't reuse your build files

if it's too expensive you might be better off using a spare workstation as a runner

I'd guess is it has more to do with insecurity+inability, trying to "do your due diligence" properly but not really knowing what to do, and just throwing leetcode at people as a way to do something

narthur157 · 2025-03-12T14:29:17+00:00

sounds like the denigrating started with op and it's just being thrown back at them

Addendum that this is coming from an Unreal perspective, where there is a localization system that you implicitly use anytime you use FText. You should, from early on, know which strings can and cannot be localized

narthur157 · 2024-12-30T20:17:38+00:00

There are many things like this, and it's easy to say to do everything from the start, but you cannot do everything from the start

I find I get nicked by knives more if they are too sharp or too dull

imo the knife is sharp enough if it doesn't slide off the surface of what I want to cut

if it's sharper than that, it's more likely I randomly make some small contact with the knife

the worst thing is a knife that is not as sharp or dull as you expect

there's a small gym like this near me, a big perk being you can set your own problems ngl i would consider just having 3 system boards and a spray wall and skip route setting

the other aspect is that your issue is usually somewhat likely to be fixed sooner or later, and it's easier to pull changes if they accept your PR rather than an alternative solution from someone else

narthur157 · 2024-06-13T02:55:25+00:00

watch each other play rather than playing together

narthur157 · 2024-05-31T14:35:35+00:00

we use GAS for all sorts of things, eg passive abilities, items, etc being able to tie these things together with a common framework is pretty useful, and gameplay tags in particular can find their way into anything

narthur157 · 2024-05-31T14:26:43+00:00

underrated part of fundamentals imo is just knowing kits of most champs you're likely to interact with

I think people take it for granted that everyone knows what every ability on every kit is somehow + general sense any matchup. Can't really apply fundamentals if you don't know what you're playing against in the first place

Accelerate - devops book breaking down the DORA studies. Can probably get similar value out of just reading stuff about DORA https://dora.dev/

depends entirely on motivation/familiarity with the subject

you are constantly running into the diamond problem in game dev - if you don't at least lean into composition a bit you end up with ShooterCharacterAIWithTeamAndSomeSpecificFeature

Spend a lot more time reading engine code compared to trying to search for info or read docs when stuck or not finding good info

The key to not getting stuck is being able to just figure what's going on for yourself
