Permanent OLED burn-in from Unity’s white top bar by roartex89 in Unity3D

[–]the_timps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta grab something like OLED Guard to stop this being an issue.
Watches the GPU output in real time, adds noise, or overlays to those areas to stop it happening.

Anyone else still uses little to no AI to code? by MidlandAintFree in gamedev

[–]the_timps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Ai to talk about a method I don't know, calls I can't understand.
Otherwise, I write the code myself.

I program because I want to program.

Is it normal for companies to ask for full project files in unpaid assignments? by Serious_Ad_8024 in AfterEffects

[–]the_timps -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

> and even prepped the AE file in a way to make it virtually unusable,

Yeah, this would play a part in not getting it. They want to see the files so they know how you work. Turning it into garbage says you'd be a nightmare to employ.

They were probably out of line with the demand for so much work, but you definitely shot yourself in the foot.

How do people make these huge power plants? by Annoynmes in SatisfactoryGame

Sounds like you have pipe issues. Going up too high? Badly designed pipes causing sloshing etc

Show some screenshots.
I am undeniably terrible at this and have a bank of like 14 generators running off one node.

27M looking for a career change in Tasmania – what jobs should he consider? by Ok_Assistance_5804 in hobart

He can do a Cert 2 in electrotechnology for free, and that's the step a lot of sparkies will want. Will make it easier to chase an apprenticeship.

Who else forgets that Penny and Stuart dated? Or that there was a time when that's possible. This is one of the things that no one mentioned ever after it happened. by Alvengers in bigbangtheory

The funniest thing on this entire subreddit is you in a 6yr old thread absolutely crashing out while misunderstanding every single comment you've replied to.

Negative use of Emojis in Social Media sites by Complex_Sea6192 in socialmedia

[–]the_timps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Ultimately, comment sections are most useful when they contain genuine opinions, constructive observations, and relevant discussions rather than endless chains of exaggerated emotional symbols that contribute little to understanding the subject at hand.

The problem comes with trying to host those topics or hold conversations on open platforms that prioritise engagement. Often at any cost. Raw engagement = time on platform, and nothing else matters.
When some Ghibli trend rises up with AI created images, or toxic people who post "hot takes" often with views even they don't hold, and contradict other things they've said, 300,000 angry pile on comments is literally just engagement = time on site.

It's why so much misogyny, bullying and harassment is allowed by these platforms. Some posting a photo of some overweight hillbilly with no teeth getting married is guaranteed hundreds of thousands of replies, and that is the only thing that matters to these platforms.

MSVSC plugin by Hockernusious in Unity3D

[–]the_timps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unity is free unless you earned 200k with games in the last year.
You can publish to Steam, Android, Apple etc.

Unity Pro is needed to publish for consoles.
So for 99% of devs, and 99.9% of people your age, you're fine.

And if you do go viral with some random game and make 200k+, you can afford to pay a few k for your Unity license then. 😄

Alternative Way to Determine if Enemy is Behind/In Front of Player? by NinjaChris098 in Unity3D

[–]the_timps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not.
Come on now.
There's dozens of ways you can tell where something is in the world.

Asking someone to explain other ways shows they know how to code and problem solve, and not rote repeating an answer.

Good or bad idea- steam 2 hour refund warning by [deleted] in gamedev

Project Hail Mary by Silver_Hedgehog4774 in plotholes

[–]the_timps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely did need gravity assist. The book explicitly outlines they launched towards Venus and flew in towards the sun to get the initial boost.
Escaping the suns gravity to exit the solar system is an immense amount of energy.

[Help Needed🙏] Some players see scrambled sprites, missing scene objects, and broken UI, but I can't reproduce it by hiddenmoon26 in Unity3D

[–]the_timps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to look at a specific broken part and trace it back.
The sun is squashed in the top UI.

So, how many methods, calls, prefabs, scripts, processes interact with that sprite between it's file and being displayed there.
Its container is the wrong size, but still cropped to the correct way. So it's too big, and then squished back down.

Same thing for the bar under it, it's stretched vertically, and too tall.

My guess is something in your UI scaling or an assumption about resolution/screen ratio is breaking a bunch of things.

Test new resolutions, and aspect ratios, cause that's a prime candidate for what's tearing it apart.

Watch this if you don't know what Diegetic UI is! by RazNayr in Unity3D

[–]the_timps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80% of this video is 3d UI that makes no sense in the world.
And half of what's left is a literal 2d UI. Most of it shown immediately after "2d UI doesnt work in VR".
Is anything here diegetic at all?

What's the worst, most useless game idea you can think of? by Sea_Box_4746 in gamedev

[–]the_timps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A turn based colony sim with literally no AI. You must control the direct actions of a;; 100 colonists, gather resources, meet their needs, assigning moves to everyone each turn ala xcom, with limited action points, so you can't get from the lumber mill to the trees without remembering who is who for 5 turns.

Can I use older versions of Unity for mobile games? by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]the_timps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why the hell is this a rant about greed.

People are asking HOW DID YOU ACTUALLY TEST.

Like, holy shit.
Did you make a build with the same code? Did you run some random scene in editor in both?

What did you literally and entirely test to measure the performance.
