he’s starting to get it, but he also has a long ways to go

yeah, tbh if you want anonymity, stay off the internet. even P2P has its risks.

I went from cobblemon on Minecraft, to full on playing pokemon ROM hacks. I am trying both unbound and elite redux, and god damn, I will never pay ~~full price~~ for a pokemon game ever again.

ahem adjusts collar I mean- this only makes me wanna buy more pokemon games! looks out window for impending Nintendo ICBM

you may have been put on one of those “commie ML tankie dni” blocklists on bluesky that every lib follows. if you’ve ever heard of clearsky it’s a good place to check.

just broke my 200+ hour factorio streak and started playing Minecraft with my sibling. haven’t put any serious effort into it since 1.8 beta

kinda fun discovering all of the new things and gawking at the eye-candy shader pack I installed.

going to organically learn how to traverse the deep dark soon (yes I know about the warden, kinda), wish me luck!

yeah… the company for my choice isn’t much better; halo infinite. I won’t consistently get 300 fps, but it doesn’t need all the upscaling crutches to make it run and look nice. I get 100fps and I’m quite happy with that.

to me, it's a bit too much of a generalization to say that poor optimizations are a product of laziness, but at this rate i am being pedantic. we both know something needs to change, and that framegen/upscale is certainly not the answer; even if we are on different pages of this issue, we both know what a good game looks like.

i guess i should have added that, crunch never left, it's just changed with the landscape. i agree that the cause of poorer optimizations stem from UE5 + mentioned "features."

but i wouldn't go so far as to say a modern day game dev as a worker is lazy, perhaps the leads and above in a AAA studio are, absolutely. but someone who directly works on a game? that's not an UE5 problem, moreso an industry problem.

.... when they are forced to crunch, optimizations are frequently out of the question, especially on launch.

I mean, that specifically made them lazier...

that's not what I said!
