After the Instagram update, each time I want to share content with someone, I look at a black field for 1-2 seconds before my friends are loaded. I suppose the list of friends is somehow prioritized by the relevance of the content. Since I share content with about five people,…

The main rule is to optimize what’s really slow, not what you think is slow.

If you need to diff two uasset files from the VCS, here's the command line for it: "<PathToUnrealEditor>" "<PathToProject>.uproject" -diff "<PathToAsset1>" "<PathToAsset2>" The uproject path is needed to support all the project-specific structs. #unrealengine #ue

My parents bought me a PSP back in the day, and the number of features blew their minds: games, music, videos, and GPS. It felt like this tech was brought to us by aliens.

I honestly hate the take "There is no translation to my native language, here's your down vote". We need a more gracious way of communicating the demand for localization to developers without tanking the game's rating.

That's the most crucial point about game pricing: if the players don't see the value, they think it's overpriced. (or the company is greedy 💰) I've never seen an instance when players said that the game is underpriced, though.

"You must learn to handle the nights" is one of my favorite Jim Rohn passages. Echoing ancient Stoic wisdom with an endearingly memorable metaphor.

Not a month goes by where I don't remind myself of this fundamental truth: There is no speed limit. It doesn't just apply to learning, but also to doing. Everything can be done faster, if you judo the problems, and decide to see it through. sive.rs/kimo

Making your computer look like your personal mental image of what a computer should look like is bliss. Aesthetics are a pillar of well-being. Surround yourself with beauty in all its forms.

It’s insane speed and the level of consistency for the game. When I discovered the Yakuza series, I was shocked by the asset reuse, yet something new gameplay-wise in each chapter.

I am increasingly worrying about the game industry if Gabe Newell retires. In all my years of being a game developer, I can't think of a single person who has had such an objectively positive impact on the course of game development as him.

It always amazes me when I see something so old, yet the colors and shapes are still preserved. It's hard to imagine how many things have not withstood the test of time.

One of the most annoying things I've started seeing among game programmers is a desire to avoid duplication at all costs. Okay, I get that copy-paste is bad. But for the gods' sake, stop pushing common functionality to the base class. There are so many ways to re-use code,…

The two things stopkillinggames will ever achieve. 1. It will obliterate paid online games. You require devs to maintain the game until the last nail in the coffin. Alright. There won’t be any game purchase; it's just a time to play or some other BS. You don’t ride a…

@PirateSoftware If a movement can’t take legitimate conversation and must resort to blind hate and attacks as they did with you then there must be something they are trying to hide. A good cause should never fear open conversation.
