Reminder that GPUs can do software rendering (and can do it much faster than CPUs). Just don't use the fixed-function parts!
(Not to pick on the the author of this post, and I always appreciate a Quake mention.)

Pretty funny to advertise "Hey our developers suck so much that despite trying to dethrone Steam for a decade and burning god knows how much Tencent money to do it giving away free games it took using some LLM we found to make the store reasonably performant".
We vibe coded the Epic Games Launcher to be faster than the other guy.

Goose: my latest programming language. Safer, faster and less memory than Rust/C++ for algorithms where tightly packed, flat data structures matter.
It can represent more kinds of data structures as flat, pointer-free bytes than any language I know.

This demo is actually from 2018, not 2019 :)
They also got the original demo running on an iPhone X (much weaker than an m1 air).
It's cool that this runs in threejs, but it actually highlights how efficient Unity is with ECS and it's burst compiler for large scale sims like this.

People claim AI is a zero cost accelerant, because it's being sold radically under cost to buy TAM and get people hooked so they cannot exist when the real costs come to bare. Also ...

There are people in this thread who unironically believe you will be able to prompt Elden Ring into existence in a morning while sipping coffee in a couple of years

To restate cleanly: the *current* problem with AI is not that we don't understand it or can't control it, it's that companies are knowingly using it to do harm or in scenarios they know are likely to cause harm (bomb schools, surveil protestors, cause/exacerbate psychosis, etc.)

Same happened with game digital distribution. Game dev wasn't locked anymore behind big publishers. Massive amount of indie games now, but 99% of them sell nothing. Visibility is more important than ever. Especially in the AI era. And you need to differentiate.

Migrating hordes of Creepy Capsules work to build a tower of their own bodies... who knows their motivations.
(This started as a physics test and was pretty entertaining.)

My favorite steam gamer behavior is when a person with 30-50 hours in your game demands a feature that you never promised, and when you say you're not ever doing it, they demand a refund.

Another benefit of SDF edit lists:
Rewind changes!
(because every edit is non-destructive)
I'm doing this right now at the end of enemy waves for game balance reasons, but I'll likely play with letting them pile up in some scenarios.

raylib reached the 18th position at the top-100 most starred GitHub C repos! 🚀
And for the first time, it surpassed stb libraries; many of them used by raylib and my main reference on how to build portable self-contained C libraries. ❤️

What does it say when software people claim their software sales are crashing because of hardware costs? As if one cannot make a good game on existing hardware ….
