Joseph Hocking

I'm a software engineer who develops games and XR using C#/Unity and JavaScript/WebGL (while increasingly Godot-curious). I wrote the book Unity in Action!

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

I'm currently writing a book about programming a character customization system in Unity. Both 3D characters and 2D animated in Spine!

Includes UI development, saving JSON data, loading Addressables, etc. https://t.co/hTbREEOWme

@FlawedSpoon @Qualcomm lol this screenshot is from my FAQ so kindof a joke? but for the record A) I only have an master's degree not a doctorate; and B) while I worked for Qualcomm recently, I don't anymore.

Laura Loomer is out here absolutely roasting Elon Musk and appears to have his number precisely

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

@tranz_schubert huh, what is your evidence for this? Maybe there's something more recent that I missed, because the last "political positions" survey I've seen did not look like that at all.

@fantasti_cz @KudosOnYT funny you mention "female james bond" cause the classic first-person shooter "Noone Lives Forever" came out in 2000 https://t.co/wqQn8yrLhJ

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

@KudosOnYT I wonder how the anti-woke crowd would react to "Noone Lives Forever". Not only was the protagonist female, but your very first mission was protecting an incompetent but important man.

@ZealotDKD @Coffee_AliVe_ @HeraldOfBelakor @GeorgeCrudo "when you say 3D rpg, its likely going to grab BOTW or darksouls" ...and this is a good thing? You know you could just play BOTW instead of going to all this trouble in order to make a shitty clone of it?

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

@KidKozo @ZealotDKD @GeorgeCrudo well that's not exactly true. The executives in top management are excited about the possibility of making games with fewer staff. Nobody else in the industry is excited about this.

man I want that last line on a shirt

@ZealotDKD @Coffee_AliVe_ @HeraldOfBelakor @GeorgeCrudo Everything pee-2014 was full of slop too, you just memory holed the bad games coming out and only remember the good ones because those are the ones you played when you were a bright-eyed child and knew nothing but wonder

Games didn’t get worse, you just got bitter

@MaxieJaxn @benjammin4ages @acahoon2 @BadMedicalTakes They aren't saying that everything is older than discovery, just that things can (and often are) older than discovery. I mean, even in that case SARS already existed for a while, it's just the CoV-2 variant that was new.

@fgraffagnino @Meowfurian @tylerblack32 er, no there isn't currently a tax, but we were talking about what happens if one gets implemented. Also, I believe you think I'm disagreeing with you.

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

@fgraffagnino @Meowfurian @tylerblack32 In the sense that first going +2 (ie. a subsidy) and then -2 (a tax) nets out to zero. But in terms of interfering in the market, yes that's what I meant by "influencing behavior".

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

@Meowfurian @tylerblack32 @fgraffagnino eg. a game design example is that players like being rewarded for not doing something too much, but hate being punished for doing it too much. even though mechanically the exact same thing is happening

[Joseph Hocking @JoeHocking]

@Meowfurian @tylerblack32 @fgraffagnino They amount to the same thing in a fiscal sense, but they are very different in a "vibes" sense. And when it comes to influencing behavior, vibes are actually super important!

@Ranger00493284 @JeremyChesser3 @chismisreyna @SaeedDiCaprio I immediately thought "...children. but not the british children." I am so old https://t.co/oicPKNxEe6

@Ryan_Gasoline oh man this story is reminding me of the bit in Catch-22, where the doctor had to explain sex to the couple trying to get pregnant

@oimoiya @Ayegill As I recall, other gangs even started tinting their meth blue in order to piggyback on that reputation and fool junkies.

@WhatsUrName0o7 @hello__caitlin Coincidentally, that's the year they were invented! That said, she's talking about a radio show. https://t.co/nCjgzqqJC9.
