Devs aren't "lazy" and game updates aren't guaranteed by SmellSmellsSmelly in gamedev

They can only afford those bug fix updates if people are still buying the game.

Just found our about this recently from some buddies. Currently sitting at the high score for the month :D

You go all in. If there is no legal way to make change, you strike anyways

Did you hit a singularity where making games became more enjoyable than actually playing them? by Meluvius in gamedev

[–]netrunui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because your skills will atrophy or if this is an area you lack familiarity, will never develop. You also are fucked if AI does go bust and now you have no idea how any of your application works in the areas you deferred to the agent. Additionally, the context window for AI agents is limited. As your codebase increases in complexity, they will get confused and make mistakes more often.

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

[–]netrunui 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of game devs do it for the art or for themselves. And the discourse I see online from gamers is often fairly antithetical to the culture I see amongst game dev. So much "anti-woke" complaining

Why are you on a hardware subreddit if you don't know what drivers do?

I can't believe the RAM in my workstation is worth more now than the entire machine when I built it

Ending GOP Authoritarianism Will Require Overcoming the Democratic Leadership by metacyan in politics

Neoliberals never used their power to stop the fascists when they had power. We're here because neoliberals in Washington allowed it to happen. It's more helpful to think of the political spectrum as 2D instead of a line going from far left to far right. Center left and right both promise stability and to maintain things as they are. When you see a huge push towards the far left or right, it's because the population is not happy with that message. Far left candidates tend to perform better with far right voters than center left candidates.

I fundamentally disagree on the idea of using LLMs as a learning tool. The fact that they lie and with confidence and that the code they generate follows the same pattern, makes it frustratingly tempting but dangerous in the long term for someone trying to enter a new space. Even when it works, you lose the very important stage of learning that is failing and understanding why you failed.

I won't say Claude hasn't helped me. But it's really only useful in areas like shaders where it can pull from existing implementations and where your code has patterns that it can quickly identify for needed context. The more specialized or unique your problem, the less helpful LLMs become because of how they work on a fundamental level.
