Unity is so ubiquitous that it would have unimaginable consequences.
For example, 90% of vr games are made in Unity. So that’s one segment of gaming completely wiped off the map.

Things are not much better in desktop and mobile gaming either, as Unity has close to 50% market share.
It would be a literal Thanos snap.

This is a huge opportunity for Unreal as well. I’m surprised they haven’t announced some flashy on-boarding campaign.

Pretty much this.

I was asked to help mod a new community, and things were going pretty well for a year or so, but then the sub owner and the other mods gradually disappeared until it was just me and another guy left.

Well, turns out they were moderating/owning 30+ subs on average. We both quit that day.

I just can’t understand what kind of ego boost they get out of being useless cunts in 30 places. How can such little power be so tantalizing to some people?

Ditto. Except I use an old Nokia from 2007.

“might”?! A person with this mentality should never even be allowed near firearms!
This is the kind of asshole who shoots someone at a routine stop for coughing.

I played HL2 in VR and the original (but upscaled) textures still looked good.
It would be great to play the RTX version in VR as well because it adds so much to the atmosphere. Baked in lighting is only good up to a point.

“Forbidden knowledge” my ass. You can just Google these things.

Really? Because as far as I know it’s a pyramid scheme.

Bold of you to assume they even went to business school.
All the big wigs I’ve met were “self-made millionaires” -meaning assholes that used, manipulated and fucked over enough people to reach their current positions.

Also, tax evasion.

Kim made the comments at a meeting of the Central Military Commission which discussed plans for countermeasures to deter North Korea’s enemies, which it did not name, the report said.

Are these enemies in the room with us now?

It’s infuriatingly stupid. It makes me read the same sentence 2-3 times before I understand what they’re trying to say.

We have a well established and clear distinction between ‘streaming service’ and ‘streamer’, why fuck with it?

What’s more, it’s double stupid because now both ‘streamer’ and ‘streaming service’ means “a company” AND we don’t have a word for individuals streaming on the web.

Can you imagine the sheer weight of cognitive dissonance they would experience if it their mind wasn’t slathered with industrial-grade denial?

Photoshop has been around for over quarter of a century but you don’t need a forensic team to tell something has been photoshopped.
Tools to detect image (and video) modifications have been around and will continue to be developed alongside these technologies. We’re simply entering a new era of media creation.

When Photoshop became mainstream, people said the exact same thing, but somehow the world didn’t end up on its head.

The entire story surrounding this discovery is a scientific rollercoaster ride, with rogue scientists, updated papers, plus cloudy definitions and process descriptions within the paper that make replication efforts more difficult, and even a Russian soil scientist (and anime catgirl) deconstructing the original Korean paper to unveil the trademark levitation of the Meissner effect over her own kitchen counter.

I can’t believe they just dropped all this without any explanation. XD

The article actually provides it in feedom units.

That is an area nearly as large as Argentina or the combined areas of Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado.

*gestures vaguely at everything*

Hey, a loophole is a loophole!

That only works if you don’t alienate the user base.

I see this mentality all the time for industrial applications.

At work we have Stratasys 3d printers that cost upwards of $150k per machine, yet the “professional” slicer they come with is the most user hostile piece of software I’ve ever had the misfortune of handling.

They haven’t spent a single dime on UI design since '95 and the workflow feels like I’m in a wrestling match with the software.
The only reason these companies can get away with such blatant laziness is because they have no competition in their respective fields.

Bingo.

Few years ago I was invited to mod a small but growing community.
About a year later the sub founder (and other mods) just gradually disappeared.
When I brought this up, the top mod (a month later and without warning) removed everyone and asked to DM him if we wanted to continue being mods.

Every single person re-applied, but the inactivity continued.

When I looked at their profile, it turned out they were moderating dozens of subs, and according to the moderation log, I was the only one who actually performed any mod actions in the last 6 months.

This was when I took my leave.
Again, we’re talking about a small ~20k community.
I can’t even imagine the kind of clout chasing that goes around in large subs.
