- Comment on Battlefield Studios begin sponsoring Godot Engine development 1 week ago:
Its because they basically use a fork of Godot as a mod tool / map editor suite for BF… 6?
Are we on six now?.. I literally don’t even remember.
So they’re probably just essentially paying for a bit of extra help with custom tooling.
Hopefully they’re at least paying for a bit more than the actual services they’re getting, but idfk.
- Comment on Arma: Cold War Assault Remastered out with a demo and it's open source 2 weeks ago:
I am actually amazed that they open sourced it.
ARMA, old ARMA, Op Flashpoint, is jank as a fuck as an engine, when not running on a supercomputer, but also… it does some pretty insane shit in terms of detail and scale and number of AI/NPC agents active at the same time. And we basically all have ‘supercomputers’ now, by the standards of when it originally came out.
… there could be some interesting patterns/techniques in here, maybe not to emulate or use exactly as is, but try to learn from, if one is insterested in having a game that is basically also a big simulation, in 3D space.
- Comment on Astronomers discover third galaxy lacking dark matter, challenging the assumption that dark matter is an invisible glue needed to hold galaxies together 2 weeks ago:
… Is there anything preventing ‘dark matter’ or at least a substantial portion of it… from being just largely normal matter dust or gasses spread so thin we cannot 100% detect confirm detect them?

“HEY LISTEN”
- Comment on these people are the worst 2 months ago:
It would be really easy to simply ‘skill match’ players by the amount of time they’ve spent actively playing a live match of the game.
But that would do 2 things:
Make Pay2Win players exceedingly obvious
Make people who’ve been playing a long time but do infact just suck… it would make them very mad.
Oh! A third thing!
It would make it too obvious which games actually reward and encourage things like teamwork and coordination via well designed gameplay, and which do not.
Don’t yell ‘but smurfs!’ … come on, every big online game has you log in first, you think they can’t grab your MAC address and hardware ids with their anti-cheat?
