In this case the wheel has flaws. One that isn’t a big deal in simple/old games, but is becoming increasingly memory hogging with more complicated games with more animations, and detailed textures and models.

And you know, I don’t like that saying, the wheel has been upgraded over the years. We’re far from Wagon Wheels…

They could, but they want to pursue a “unified model” approach, where the game doesn’t “cheat” by using a bunch of insanely distorted models for the first person view. They want to be able to make an animation, and have it work for everything.

Depends on the application. From a simple FPS game, not that useful. But moving into full VR and condensing production assets (that is, one set of animations for both third-person and first-person views) definitely. At present, most FPS games swap out the less specific/low-fidelity animations you might see other…

I’m really tired of the whole “all ideas are equal” argument. Sometimes people are just wrong and what they say is dangerous and factually wrong and they need to be called out on it.

That’s right. If you ideology is harmful to others, you can’t claim people should tolerate it. Hence wife beaters don’t get to have a cultural protection to asault

I’m sorry, but never should someone tolerate racist, homophobic, misogynistic etc views. Those aren’t ideas.. they are shit that should get burned down. This isn’t about opposing views on fiscal policy.

I’m late to the party, but I’m going to take a crack at number 2.

You leave my steam library out of this!

“Sex worker” covers a wider range of professions, be it stripping, prostitution, cam girls, etc. It also circumvents the negative associations a lot of people have with sex work. If you call somebody a “prostitute,” you’re often slut shaming them. But when I call somebody a “sex worker,” I’m signifying that I think…

One of my best friends in high school was a brilliant foreign exchange student from South Korea so I got to think about this a lot, actually. I noticed that while their English is very well structured, it’s very academic in nature and loses a lot of the heart of the language. The slang and quirks, ya know?

Not all sex workers are prostitutes. Cam Girls are sex workers. Strippers are sex workers. Phone sex operators (are those still a thing? I am old.) are sex workers - and none of them ever actually engage in The Sex.

Sex worker is a broad term that includes strippers, cam girls, porn stars, and yes, prostitutes. And yes, sex workers prefer to be called sex workers.

Jim doesn’t consider himself to be a part of the serious games media. He even says in the description of his YouTube description, “home of videogame not-journalist Jim Sterling,” and describes himself as a raconteur. He’s an entertainer first, and a lot of people like that.

Yes, because Valve let their shit onto get onto Steam in the first place. If Valve had so “no, that’s not fit for Steam,” none of this would have even happened.

Honestly I just want them (all phone makers) to stop the pursuit for thin phones, add a couple of millimeters and expand the battery by 50-100%. Apple can put the 3.5mm audio jack back in with that extra space while they’re at it. A 7mm thick phone is not decidedly superior to a 9-10mm one.

Because we have to listen to idiots like yourself and see articles like this stupid one about “new” things that aren’t “new”.

It’s like a guy walking into a halloween party still talking about last year’s superbowl. Everybody knows about it, nobody cares to keep talking about it, and yet that one idiot persists. That’s…

The entire concept of project funding and publishing is about giving money to people who haven’t earned it yet. Kickstarter is a perfectly valid way of funding your project, provided you’re honest and realistic about what you’re doing (a caveat that could be applied to any traditional funding source as well).

How, though? - and if a developer is willing to be dishonest with reviews, who is to say they’ll be dishonest with claimed kickstarter keys?

“In 7 kilograms, turn left.”

What the fuck is a Petrol Station? What kind of commie propaganda is this? I swear to God if Siri tells me how many kilos it is to get to work...
