@SebAaltonen I have not met a single person that does not hate these things...

@BellularGaming How do you manage to have worse storytelling than COD, a game that only makes campaigns because they kinda have too

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@BellularGaming I don't even botter with the moment to moment storytelling anymore between what's actually happening the execution and the pacing it's soo bad that there is not point IMO.

One of these days we are going to finally let the lesson sink in. Package managers were a mistake.

New blog post: A Decade of Slug
This talks about the evolution of the Slug font rendering algorithm, and it includes an exciting announcement: The patent has been dedicated to the public domain.

@lemire Harder homework changes nothing. They simply don't have the fundamentals, they don't have the required skill to produce something and they will have a mindset of just asking the Ai to do everything. No AI is the only option to actually learn.

I've been following Louis Rossmann for a while and am continually impressed and inspired with his views on business, selling products, and so on. He's brought up numerous times how companies will kill a software but remove access to said software, even if the users "own" it. In most recent news we've seen Adobe cancel Adobe Animate and because its subscription based, customers will completely lose access next year. In my opinion thats similar to killing games and is a shit move.

In our own company we have a similar adjacent story. With our terrain and planet editor, GeoGen, we've more or less put the software on pause and though it gets periodic updates, we don't see a way forward to make it a commercial success and fund continued development considering we lost 99.9% of our investment in it. It has a few active users, it is a functional, useful tool that outputs great results and so its still available on our website and will continue to be.

We've also completely killed a tool in our past even though a small number of people paid for it, VectorayGen. It seemed smart at the time to just sweep our first born software under the rug, but in hindsight, if we follow Louis's belief system it was a shitty move on our part to remove access to download it on our website. Granted, if people ask for the tool we usually try to provide an exe to it, but that's not super artist friendly. What sucks for artists who did enjoy the tool is it was the only real and easy way to generate vector fields for games and this is still the case to this day. So within the next month or two we'll recompile VectorayGen, rip out the licensing and put it up on our website, as is, free of charge. In the off chance someone needs a vector field, at least they'll have a moderately shitty way to do it than no way at all.

In the future we hope that IlluGen will be a true successor and provide a wonderful modern vector field authoring workflow. Until then, VectorayGen will become available soon once again. No extended support or bug fixes from us, just provide the tool as is and restore availability to something that shouldn't have been pulled in the first place.

@conservempls @Shadarek Personally I would never condome the method being copywritten ( I hate software patents), but the implementation absolutely can be protected because of how unique they tend to be to each project. In my mind there is 0 doubt either the code was stolen direclty or stolen via LLM

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@conservempls @Shadarek same variable names, same formating, same comments, same usage of ternaries. This does not happen by accident or coincidence. It's a dead giveaway of theft. Even the same person implementing the same thing two weeks appart could not manage to land on a wholesale copy of the 1st.

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@conservempls @Shadarek It absolutely is a problem, code licenses exists and even huge companies get fined for not adhering to them.

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@SaasyEngineer @Luckyone961 My dude even the comments are the exact same, there is 0 margin for doubt he stole that code. Doesnt matter how little it is elvui foesnt have a permissive license. You should really understand how much of a no no this is of you are a swe.

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@towelthetank Anybody who actually decelops software for a long time knows that #2 is an overt admission of guilt by somebody who has no clue. Even if you are solving something the exact same way the likelihood of your code actually ending up looking 1:1 witbout it being copied is 0

@cmuratori At this pace, there won't be a Windows platform left to market to.

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@scottastevenson Im sure that works great when you onow what you want to get to, but imagine the perspective of a new hire. Being able to go topic by topic is much better than just guessing

[Tiago Magalhães @Antypurus]

@cmuratori This is the opportunity desktop linix has been looking for, maintainers need to get their heads straight and make distros normy usable. Because god knows windows will be unusable after this rewrite

@adamjmiles @fia I mean we all know his election was anything but democratic so idk why they even bother trying to hide it.

@TRIPSTER0 It's not the developer's fault, the screen on the console sucks ass. The actual implementation while in docked mode is fantastic.
