I was never a participant in the discord only a passive observer who was their for the downloads section. If you were there you’d understand exactly what I was talking about.
They would say very hateful things to some users just for asking questions and on multiple occasions told people to kill themselves just for, get this, asking questions.
Amd it turned out that much of the harassment was faked by the dev, yes actually faked by a person for attention. It was a big controversy in the community at the time
The dev was a toxic person who had mental health issues. Not the first time they freaked out and claimed they were being targeted for harassment and throwing a hissy fit and leaving while being a toxic turd to so many people along the way
Told people to kill themselves for asking questions and actually got caught making up “evidence of targeted harassment” it was a pretty big issue in the community at the time. He made up death threats. For attention.
At first people were sympathetic until we learned this isn’t the first time this dev has done this
You can also find links to screen caps of how he was an asshole all of the time in his discord, banning people left and right for asinine reasons
There was only one dev for the original project, but he went by two names. (If someone else had taken up the work I don’t know, I got a steam deck and do all my emulation on that)
Stenzek was his original username, he changed it to Tahlreth to get away from his reputation. He had previously abandoned another project due to harassment that turned out to be over blown. He claimed people were stealing his code and could never prove it and claimed harassment and abandoned his project. Was also a dick to people and was banned from forums for his tone.
Pretty much as soon as I joined this discord he was a dick and claiming harassment, and at the time I didn’t even know it was the same person. I found out later, not too long before he quit this one.
And after he quit Aether he sabotaged the last build he uploaded by making it run worse and putting ads in it.
“If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe”, honestly. Rude, crying all the time, claiming harassment, claiming theft of code, making up and then deleting death threats, etc. Several years of history of just horrible behavior
Morrowind and Oblivion into Skyrim, fallout 3/NV into 4 really opened my eyes into the enshittification before that was even a term I had read anywhere. It was a company who got too big for its breeches and thought it knew better…
Steam offers many services to users and developers more than just being a simple storefront. They didn’t become top dog by virtue of being early, there are plenty of competing launchers that do not offer even a tenth of what steam offers.
The Last of Us 2 absolutely had a hate campaign long before it released, it was review bombed within minutes of release
This game had everything on its side. All the youtuber who covered it the months before release were like “it seems too good to be true, but if it’s true it’ll be great”. Everyone wanted it to be good, everyone wanted it to succeed
It wasn’t her it was Abby, because she was buff they claimed she was trans. Then there was a sex scene with Abby and man and they claimed is was an unskipable gay male sex scene (it was skipable, btw, and it was hetero sex, but she’s got biceps)
My only argument against your opinion, is that he actually has a trackable history of poor performance as a CEO and a trackable record of very bad monetization schemes. He’s the reason EA is the way it is.
This isn’t the first company he’s ruined the reputation of.
Granted, the board that elected him is still there. That’s an issue that will persist for a while.
He’s been involved in several of the big Unity scandals, yes.
This most recent event wasn’t one thing, it was a culmination of poor decisions. If Unity had been sunshine and rainbows all up until now, then the reaction wouldn’t have been so bad. It was the final nail in the coffin, really.
Since he’s been involved, it’s been fuck up after fuck up.
Denuvo has an impact on performance for many games, so they artificially inflated the performance, and some people don’t buy games with Denuvo on principle, many reviewers will note that in their video.
CSGO was made entirely for the purpose of being a console game, no body played it on console so they abandoned it
You are perfectly capable of setting on the couch at any time. The computer does not stop this. You are actively making the decision to not sit on a couch, as an adult you’re allowed to do this.
Ironically I find that silvers screech more about shitty team mates than any ither rank.
Just a few days ago had a 3000 CS rated dude losing his fucking mind at one of our team mates because he was bottom fragging, only for the angry dude to end up hard negative KD while still bitching
The saturation doesn’t look any different to me when on my own machinr, the streamer may have changed their color settings on their GPU for a number of reasons. Visual clarity can be important for seeing targets quickly, as well as maybe wanting to stand out when scrolling in a feed so viewers see their stream stick out?
So maybe this was just an issue during the beta but it would still connect me to LA servers even with my max ping set to 25. It would start out at 9 ping and during the warm up it would just shift to be 40s
I played a couple games today and I haven’t been forced to connect to any servers in California
War Thunder has leaked restricted military documents AGAIN for the third time in a month. This time it's the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicoptor. User BarteG98PL posted the "fully unclassified"
So, tinfoil hat here, this is the military working it’s propaganda magic. They’re targeting gamers for drone operators (which isnt tinfoil hat talk, they are), and they have a history of working together with projects that paint the military in a “sexy” light (the most wildly know examples are Top Gun but its far from the only)
Am I wrong in thinking maybe this is just a way for them to help the game continuously make headlines to engage more players? Could this be on purpose and it’s just marketing?
I didn’t say it was feature parity with Unity, 90% of Unity games don’t require most of the features Unity has that Godot lacks.
Streaming is not the only solution to efficiently loading assets
The VFX is not lacking from Unity in anyway other than not having Unity’s specific tools for organizing them, the Shader and VFX graph. It lacks access to the stencil buffer right now, but not much else. You can still make any shader in Godot that you can make in Unity.
W4 is opening a dedicated paid store.
Godot can run native C++, making it more optimized than Unity in several areas. DOTS can out do it in some areas, but again native C++ is still faster.
You have direct access to Godot’s render pipeline code so no idea what you mean by ‘low level’, no idea how’d you get lower level than direct access to the render pipeline itself.
Edit, I didn’t block him, he’s being a troll I guess.
Firstly, I can tell you only skimmed that and haven’t actually read it because it contradicts multiple points you made in this and the previous comment. Like, actually read it before trying to use it as a source.
“Everyone who disagrees with me is circle jerking”
Lol, okay buddy. You’re a tad bit cringe
Like, “As such, this means that low level access to all the rendering server structures needs to be exposed via GDExtension.” Says it right there, in the page you linked. “Often developers need to implement rendering techniques, post processing effects, etc. that don’t come bundled with the engine.” You have to do some of it yourself, which means ITS VIABLE. Again, not on parity, but viable. Again, not feature complete, not as polished, but viable.
And on streaming “Of the above, most are relatively straightforward to implement”, meaning that users can already do this, the article even mentions how much of the ground work is just handed to you. I’m not arguing the point on if this should be fully implemented by the dev team to come fully prepackaged, im simply telling you that you’re wrong about godot not being viable. It should come by default, but it’s still easy to do. Again, if your point is it should come default, I agree with that.
I can tell you’re just being argumentive for the sake of it, so I’m just going to ignore you from here on out. You aren’t adding anything constructive and you’re not capable of reading something YOU linked, so you’re not worth the time or effort.
I remember when I first started using Unity years and years ago and people like you would just talk shit about it non stop. I remember when I started using blender in middle school and people like you should just talk shit about it.
It was decided that game engine development was over complicating the goal of Blender. It detracted from actual 3D software development resources and trying to make all blender features seamless with it was nearly doubling potential work.
Interestingly, the demo was apparently running ray traced visuals, and was utilising Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) in order to offer playable frame rates that will make enabling such fancy effects actually worthwhile.
While there’s a current DLSS thread, am I the only one who actually likes the aesthetics of DLSS, regardless of FPS? It adds a softness to the whole image that reduces eye strain for me and make the game more cinematic almost.
Just a point against the second thread you linked, Gog selling cracked games, according to the thread you linked, allows them to be run without a disc on modern hardware
The crack also means it’s not altering the source code, according to the user’s in that thread
As for the first thread, yeah that’s pretty shitty.
I personally think this is because gaming journalism isn’t real journalism. They don’t actually care, they just want clicks and perceived relevancy when people repost their tweets to reddit
