I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: https://t.co/2d9aVuUsxj
Hi Sandy, I hope you’re well. I have appreciated the recent discussions. I do not agree with your framing.
Regarding piracy, DOOM is a complicated example because shareware was the model. DOOM’s first episode was designed to be freely copied, passed around, uploaded, installed, and played. That enormous unpaid audience was not the same thing as piracy. It was part of how DOOM reached the world.
By the mid-90s, DOOM had something like 20 million shareware installs and more than 2 million paid copies sold. Those 20 million people were not “pirates” by default. A huge number of them were playing the free episode exactly as intended.
That doesn’t excuse people pirating the registered game. However, it’s important not to collapse legal shareware distribution, unpaid reach, and actual piracy into one number.
I also don’t think piracy is what “gutted” id - id is still around and still making games. Piracy may have cost money, but it wasn’t the reason Quake was hard or why people eventually went different ways.
So yes: pay developers. Buy the games you love. Support the people who make them.
But history is messier than “pirates killed the companies.” Sometimes the same free distribution that looked like lost sales was also the thing that made the game impossible to ignore.
@ChristinaTasty I'm not a fan of those face-scan, but let's be real, cartoony or not:
ugly woman = internet cries
A lot of people use South of Midnight as "ugly" despite having a really good art-style
I'm not a gooner but my main concern is actually the lack of sexuality it looks very "safe"
@Faunus_Lupercus@jdoedoe101101 "EEUU atacó a los persas, un pueblo de criadores de cabras que no tienen para comer"
No apoyo el régimen de Irán pero decir esto es no tener ni idea de Irán. Irán fabrica sus propios drones, drones cuyo nivel de Ingeniería es apreciada hasta por los mismos gringos.
@WolkTheWolf@Pirat_Nation I don't know if you are new to gaming or not. When Game devs says "Handcrafted" usually means they didn't use procedural generation, not the modern "Generative AI"
@EdisonParra@prietosapiens "por qué en la otra llamada pones modo avión y puedes hacerte el loco."
Puede que no esté entendiendo, te estás refiriendo al modo avión que corta la señal? Si sí, que diferencia existe con WhatsApp si el internet se ve afectado por modo Avión?
@kokoromugenAW@Asmongold@AI_EmeraldApple I think you cand find videos of Asmon in favor of not banning Lolicon. He never said they should ban it.
His point is that in average a lolicon enjoyer is more likely to be attracted to real children in comparison to the general pop. ATTRACTED, NOT AN ABUSER
@DarkHood2@Asmongold@AI_EmeraldApple So your point is... Asmon's point? He said multiple times that not everyone that watches loli is a pedo.
I like rap; 2pac, Biggie Smalls, Wu-tang, and I'm not a gangster.
But rap and hip-hop it's the favorite genre of a lot of criminals, wouldn't you agree?
@DarkHood2@Asmongold@AI_EmeraldApple Bro, Asmon main point is not that loli makes you a pedo, is that a lot of pedos watch loli. Two different things.
In my personal opinion, it doesn't makes you violent, but we are a society that likes violence, violence is normalized, that's most people like it.
@ShinyGoldGoblin @Asmongold@AI_EmeraldApple can you retards read the fucking paper
