watho posted:is it in beam.ng where people make fake drift videos to put on tiktok/shorts/whatever? Yes, they record themselves driving in an empty area, then place down cones so the replay looks super skillful. It's incredibly dumb. Coffee Jones posted:iD and Valve seemed to treat their engine licensing business as a side hustle instead of an actual arm of the company, and consoles were an afterthought instead of being the primary target until the 2010's. I think in iD's case it's because they were a small company just doing the stuff they wanted to do, and in Valve's case it's because working on Steam will wrangle you 100 times more money for the same effort than working on an engine to license will. Sweeney aimed high and as a consequence he created his own money printer.

They basically quit as soon as it started turning into a line of business where they would have to start caring about what licensees wanted when they were making their own games. Source's licensing fees were also reportedly extremely cheap. repiv posted:modders only went with source because it was available to them, unreal was still inaccessible to mere mortals at that time OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Jan 3, 2024 |

I don't watch his content but at the same time cancer fuckin sucks and I'm sure his kids would like to not have their father die so... I guess I'm hoping it turns out the dude doesn't have stage 4 butt cancer or something. It can absolutely sneak up on a guy and take someone out in their 40's. I didn't know he used to be a 500lb guy.

I used to watch some of his custom builds because they were neat and worked as background noise but man, the quality of his videos was just absolute dogshit the last year and a bit and I completely tuned out. At least now I know why that happened. Hope he pulls through. And you can kinda tell he used to be a bigger guy, he's got that "weirdly bulky but not fat" shape where he's probably got a lot of loose skin, Connor O'Malley has the same thing. It happens when you're well past obese and lose a lot of weight really fast. I knew a guy in highschool who did that, eventually he had the excess skin removed and that alone lost him another 25lbs, pricey surgery though.

Half the reason I wanted to save them was to make sure they aren't lost, since we recently sold off the magazines and the tapes were pack-in for a year and a half.

I know someone with stage colon cancer, they found out after they went to the doctor who rushed them to the hospital for severe blood loss. Apparently they had been slowly bleeding out for like weeks/months because of the tumor. I know denial is a powerful thing by I feel like by the time you had lose enough blood to almost kill you by itself you would notice something was seriously wrong.

Branch Nvidian posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHS3qxU_3RE there's a ton worth criticizing about Marques, but that's really not something I expect he's definitely a professional fanboy, but also the type of pro fanboy who either cynically or earnestly tries to cultivate some degree of plausible detachment and deniability. he'll regularly criticize Apple poo poo, albeit usually diplomatically/weakly, and sometimes more concretely like when he basically said the Studio Display was a bad value and half-baked product failing to reach its imagined potential, if only from an exclusively usability or features standpoint and never ever the business practices of the company itself, or the industry, etc. Like, he's absolutely in the category of puff "journalism", but he's by no means like a Rene Ritchie. and like he probably will get a Vision Pro for free, at least for a few days or weeks, but lets not pretend that he can't afford the $3500 or that he wouldn't be put on a shortlist to buy one if they sell out, or that he wouldn't be able to simply and easily write one/a whole office fleet of them off as a business expense.

Thanks Ants posted:I feel fairly confident predicting that "wearing a screen on your face" will not become the standard way of interacting with a computer I don't think it will ever become the standard way, and I don't think Apple's giant ski goggles approach will be the dominant way, but I do think that it will have a solid niche moving forward. There's some AR glasses (the XReal ones I think?) that some posters over in the Steam Deck love and swear by for gaming on airplanes . I've seen a few other people talk about using them for watching movies, etc. in similar situations. At ~$400 they're a pricey accessory, but also not out of the question for someone who has a specific use case. It won't be the standard way of interacting with a computer, but give it a few more years and I could absolutely see it being pretty common if someone wants to do some work on a (virtual) full sized desktop in an area where small laptop or tablet screens are all that you have space for (e.g. airplanes) or if they want to be 100% sure that people aren't looking at their screen over their shoulder.
