- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 2 weeks ago:
Most of the personnel growth is probably in asset creation. The more realistic you want assets to look the more man hours you need to put in. Even with modern tools it is just gonna take longer to make those assets. Like instead of making a human model by directly manipulating polygons that makes it immediately game ready they first sculpt it in ZBrush then retopo to a lower polygon count to make it game ready. And then add complex facial rigs for cut scenes, high res textures etc.
It’s why companies like Sony hire these studios in China and India where hundreds of people work just making assets.

- Comment on Minimum income required to qualify as middle class in each U.S. state 2 weeks ago:
Middle income != Middle Class
Middle class is the class between the working class and the ruling class. So that’s the capital class. The definition the US uses is created to divide the working class. So the lower income and middle income groups do not unite against the other classes.

I think Onlyfans doesn’t allow AI generated fictional people. You need to ID yourself to OF anyway if you want to make money.

- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 3 weeks ago:
Probably not meshes since it is way too expensive. But these guys write the GPU drivers, so they of course have access to the different frame buffers and textures buffers and light source data. So just from depth and normal map data you can get a good representation of geometry. Like deferred rendering lights the scene from the 2D images in the G-Buffer not geometry.

- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 4 weeks ago:
As you see in the comments here lots of people have no idea what marketing is beyond promotion. Unfortunately it’s often engineers who are the clueless ones and just think that you just need to build a great product and the sales will come automatically. When businesses started by engineers often fail because they make something that has no product market fit because they skipped the crucial steps of marketing. Engineers often look down on MBAs and think an MBA is useless but in my opinion every engineer should take a business and marketing course.

Marketing is more than just advertising and promoting though. Marketing is an integral part of a business. If you research what your target marketing likes, that’s marketing. Researching where you should sell your products, marketing. Focus group testing, marketing. What price you should sell, marketing. Even if a business doesn’t have a marketing department they still engage in marketing.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 4 weeks ago:
Only via an iPhone or iPad with an Indian Apple Account and an Apple Card with Rupees from Amazon.in
Don’t even need to log out of your original account on your device. Just need to login in with your India account in “Media & Purchases” and the YouTube app will show the Indian prices.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 4 weeks ago:
As a man I also want to select a female driver only. Seriously here in the Netherlands if you get a male driver good chance it’s some agro 20 year old high on NOx who also hates queers.

Wait for how long? HDMI devices need to handshake with the TV so there is always a delay unfortunately. It’s not just a good ol’ video signal anymore.

- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 4 weeks ago:
So it means gamers with fomo will never get to see a sale for the games they want to play right. Since Sony knows those gamers will pay the full sticker price.
