Hello!

I work as a AAA game programmer. I previously worked on the Battlefield series.

Before I worked in the AAA space, I worked at Disneyland as a Jungle Cruise skipper!

As a hobby, I have an N-Scale (1:160) model train layout.

No problem! I wish I could be more active, but I’ve been busy with life stuff (damn apprentice). One day I will try to scry once more and return.

When you’re out in the field and your FOSS product suddenly has a glitch, who runs tech support for you?

FOSS is great for some things but this isn’t necessarily one of them.

Or just use one of the many Ubuntu derivatives that don’t force Snap?

Maybe - and hear me out - it’s the dogs that are the problem?

“Can’t control their prey drive” is a bad excuse. You control your dog or you don’t deserve to have one. End of story. A dog barking endlessly is the responsibility of the owner to control or get rid of their damn dog.

It isn’t hard to teach your dog not to be a nuisance. I’ve done it before. Blaming the dog because you failed to teach/control it is not correct, and simply shows that you do not have what it takes to be a dog owner.

You ask a man how often they think about the Roman Empire.

Every man will invariably answer something varying from “once a week” to “multiple times a day”. Women are absolutely mystified by this for some reason.

Godot is a passable engine. It doesn’t have a massive pile of money behind it, but it’ll generally do most things adequately.

Honestly - and I may be biased as I’m a AAA dev who works with the engine - Unreal is really the way to go. Reasonable pricing on a powerful engine. The main issue is that it’s bloated as hell and there’s a learning curve… but if you’re an indie, it’s just as usable as Unity. Plus if you wanted to get into AAA development someday, Unreal is super popular and used everywhere.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Prices don’t go down for anything that people need to live. Not unless the government makes them do so.

Stupid question: Why can’t journals just mandate an actual URL link to a study on the last page, or the exact issue something was printed in? Surely both of those would be easily confirmable, and both would be easy for a scientist using “real” sources to source (since they must have access to it themselves already).

Like, it feels silly to me that high school teachers require this sort of thing, yet scientific journals do not?
