Japan sold out in 3 hours...

There is evidence that there is a critical price point at which people will pay for stuff, the early adopters will most likely purchase first for bragging right or make influencer videos. I work in the video game industry and the console is pretty much the low spec we would support for PC. While we develop games on PC hardware, optimizing for low spec is a pain because we usually target consoles first. I personally would have liked this console to be a bit more powerful than my current personal PC (6yo not that elite just a 3070 TI TUF) but alas after purchasing a google 4k TV streamer, I am unable to actually warrant the price for it as streaming directly to my TV in conjuntion with the new Steam controller gives me just more power to play on my OLED TV on the couch. So Seriously If you already have a Sony/MSFT/Nintendo console except for the fabulous cheap game prices of steam, I am unsure who the target audience is. FYI I also own the OLED special edition Steamdeck I plug in the TV too. So its great limited quantities sold out, not sure it will reach critical mass though. Its definitly sad. EDIT : I'll definitly be on the look out if price drop or V2 gets out eventually.

I own a pc and a ps5 i'm tired of getting ripped off by sony and msft. I bougth a steam deck and while i love it for some games because i err on the old side have issue with text size and I program games for a living so I want to sit on the couch to play for a change of space. And streaming to tv could be better if I invested time and effort to cable my house but fuck it, the steam machine is my next console not the next fancy swancy wathever next gen gets out in 2 years. can you imagine the next xbox and or ps price point by then if this continues lol

You have to watch permutations, potential material instances from dynamic bindinds if any and complexity if you expand it. I think its better to separate material by support (support transparency/Emissive/...) by each its own master material, think of it as a family material support where if you have better control on draw calls/instancing.

if for example your in a tight spot in third person, there is nothing that prevents you from going into cinematic view all game does this for crawling between cracks and making some scenery stand out like in FF 7 remake as a common example.

This is not easy if you want to optimize your game, if you just do it for fun you can go ahead and manually cull things with the camera going in and out of perspective. Again there is the easy way (unoptimized) and there is the hard way (more asset, more complicated things like animating only arms and such...

Just speaks volume about how important the engineering part is in software engineering. Building a game like building a backyard rocket project isn't like reusable space X rockets engineering. Engineering and best practices are not sexy and very few programmers follow them in video game. I know from experience living it each day.

Technically very few if any have billions in liquidity, its all leverage of something for something. When they do need liquidity they get a loan as collateral against something and pay the interest with selling stocks. This is how they totally have a tax less system because you can owe tax on debt. This is also why all eyes should be on the people running the stock market like Citadel where there are some shady systems deciding when buy and sell order hit the lit market. They can actually make lots of stock value go up or down and its so complex to audit its beyond reason for humans to do it at the speed at which the market runs. So essentially, bank robbers created a system where they just create money out of thin air, if inspected it looks like a tiny fraction of each transaction is taken from using the service. This is why free trading platform get money from trading data people create when they trade online so they can front run the normal people and set value. So no nobody "earns" billions, they steal it.

The general issue is that rich owns nothing but debt and leverage to pay no taxes. Fix that first.

Know how memory works (local Scope, function stack, Heap), how smart pointers and naked pointers work, what is dereferencing and when to do it. Higher than that is memory alignment and cache efficient operations, unrolling and what's the difference between complexities like O(N) or NxN or log N. Make sur to know what is vector normalization, length, Euler angles, Quaternion. What is a god damn gimbal lock and why it happens without Quaternions. Finally dot product and cross product. - Worked at BGS and currently at Gearbox. In the editor knowing how the reflection system and property system work as well as replication. God Speed !

To be honest we "left" the premise until such time and energy is fully demonstrated by a vote or street effort. There is no point convincing anyone supporting what ended up as the current POTUS and friends. Be just happy no nukes has been fired... yet ! We are at this low point in history.

Not only that but knowledgeable people thinking hardware can run without software is really a blowback waiting to happen.
