no advice is universally applicable.
but for some young men, extreme solitude in your deepest interest, with money being the afterthought, can yield results once thought impossible.
developing wealth, ego, status is also equally essential for the soul of a young man, but to know thyself, and not be rushed by perceptions of the world is a gift few possess.
Nick Fuentes is permanently cucked by Mark Zuckerberg because he got banned from Instagram 😭
"If you're not on Instagram, you might as well be f*cking DEAD, socially."
@alreadydawn Do you have any recommendations on how to "bypass" that life? Assuming the presence of genuine technical skill. I see a future in keeping expenses low, and working a 9-5 while agressively saving enough to take micro retirements periodically.
Where's the contradiction. Game companies are all set on killing themselves and also they refuse to publish anything other than the Hamilton cast in steampunk hats crouching for stealth.
@orgunbertan Anti aliasing is highly overrated, when you are drawing triangles there is going to be an edge. I can accept true anti aliasing like msaa or super sampling, but FXAA/TAA or other post processing based approaches just look like mud to me
@n1lknarf >I kinda regret participating in the indie event. My game seems to attract specifically the mentally challenged. It's like watching 4 year olds unable to jump on a goomba in nes' mario bros, getting mad at the game and the controller. Not great for morale 🫤
Tachyon Fire uses distance imposter parallax corrected cubemap raymarching to solve this. Specular reflections having the proper amount of energy is half of making PBR look good. Full raytracing was too expensive for my target minimum hardware.
I felt like making a hate post on white sheen type of games with them random "reflections" everywhere in any material at all... special highlight to lighting coming from occluded spots cause why not that's just how it is and how games be looking THESE DAYS😜
A true modern curse.
The biggest issue with "AI art" is not that it was made by a machine, it is that it is an uncanny presence of skill but with an absence of creativity or style that would normally correlate with that skill. There are exceptions but its true for most generated images.
