Quoting: Linux_Rocks

Quoting: PenglingGiven how gaming typically drives adoption of technology, it's nice to see multiple talks on the subject scheduled for this event. Looking forward to hearing more!

Porn too. It's why VHS beat out Betamax. lol

And we can also thank military usage, and development, for a significant push in technology over the years :wink:

so... the militaries were really into porn?

Quoting: constAre there ARM chips in the league of M1 available to anyone but Apple by now? Afaik, there is nothing in that league, especially with the optimizations for x86 emulation, like register handling in hardware. Box86 certainly is impressive, but hardware support is hardware support.

afaik, no, but even regular arms should be efficient in power per watt compared to x86.

but as i said, translating something from x86 to arm will waste a lot of power, so this might be an pointless save.

looks fun, i liked the music, art direction and especially how the characters move, not as if they were animals, but people using animal costumes, you can see that the neck isnt properly connected to the bony, always swinging arround

Quoting: RomlokIt's true Unity isn't likely going anywhere for a while - there's a lot of existing back catalogue and games too far along in development to switch. But I wouldn't be surprised if they lose significant market share in the coming years. And yeah, a lot of that will likely go to Unreal.

their main strength is their asset store.
migrating from unity to godot is like going from windows to linux, it dont matter if linux is better, if it has an worse ecosystem who you rely uppon.

couple can mean 2, or mean a few, a lot...
i hope they wait at least 5 years, but the competition surely is making some pressure with their marketing, the fact that people dont know how good the UX is until they experience it help nothing.

Quoting: BotonoskiPerhaps if projects like Box86 improve, they can make a Deck lite running off ARM. Something smaller, passively cooled, super battery life, focused on being a handheld Steam Link but fully capable of playing PC games from at least the 2010s.
That's under the assumption ARM is more power efficient than modern x86_64 processors, not sure if that's actually true anymore I haven't really looked into the subject much and AMD really seems to be absolutely killing it in the erea of power efficiency
I anticipate the Deck will become at least 5 years old before they really start considering a full on Deck 2 in any case.

its still more efficient, otherwise apple wouldnt make m1, but the issue is emulatiog another arch while being more efficient at the same time? doubt it.

breaking news guys!
as part of the deal with Uk in order to be able to purchase activision blizzard, microsoft agreed that ubisoft should have streaming rights to call of duty, and be able to sub licence it to any cloud provider.
and guess what ubisoft requested? proton support!

this excuse is so absurd that i cant... i have to put it in words...

1)github offers free storage even for larger files, but they removed.
2)its simply a text, come one! its one of the most cheap things to host, even if github refused to host it for some reason, they could host it thenselves.

3)they dont need to host ads nor github need to put ads on it to make hosting it profitable.
4)even if there was an cost to host it, considering no one is accessing the cost would be quite low.
5)if an contract in text is so big that many services would refuse hosting the file because of how large it is, then, it should be an illegal contract, i mean, who can expect any lawyer to read terabytes of legal documents and still be able to process and understand the clausles to ensure you and your company that you arent doing anything ilegal with how you are using an product or service?

things like this makes me want to void their terms of service with an violation so big that they are forced to try to sue me and i act like "404" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: baconcowI've already switched to Godot and ported what I had there. It isn't much, but I don't plan on going back. Always online, for a development environment, is trash. Their top executives clear well over $100 million. Apparently, they are spending half a billion yearly on marketing. If they are bleeding profit and want ways to get back in the green, going after the developers profits should not be their first priority.

how is it possible to spend 500 million USD on marketing of a niche toolset, that will be used, roughly speaking, by few thousands developers in the world? do you really need to have billboards and bus paintovers with unity ads for that?
I mean, it is not made for stupid people, probably developers are smart enough to look up for available engines, including unity.

unity had over 1 million of users prior to that shit
