Ah, this will be a short-lived validator, my engine fix for this is already in 💪

It will be in UE 5.6, but you can cherry-pick it from UE's github page here: https://t.co/0QEPhSW7Zh (you need to be logged into UE Github) #uetips

In my latest presentation on "Myth-busting UE Best-Practices" I mentioned that empty Ticks still run and you pay the Tick price, even though they're not doing anything.

I just added a validator to the article to detect these in your project: https://t.co/mXSmo2ZCsW

It does NOT make it so that new actors have their "Start with Tick Enabled" property disabled. It never has, so I'm surprised people are still recommending this, anyone who would've tried it would've noticed immediately that it didn't do that. 🧵

IWGB just released their 2024 manifesto and this is your unprompted reminder to join a union!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@76_neil @eurogamer Oh no.
Hope you're paid out now before it gets even worse 😭

Ubisoft confirms that its total headcount is down 2,000 over the past two years.

Its total number of employees worldwide was 19,410 in September 2023, it now has 18,666 as of September 2024. So down 744 in the past year and around 1.3k in the year prior to that.

QA workers for Activision Blizzard are striking in protest of the company's return-to-office mandate

The CWA says that the company is unwilling to accommodate "even those with serious medical conditions and doctor's recommendations to work from home."

🧵 So I guess the cat is out of the bag. I was fired from @Microsoft on Thursday, hours after a vigil we organized to honor and remember the lives of Palestinians killed by American-funded and Microsoft-empowered Israeli genocide.

We're working on a sequel to Subnautica! It's using Unreal Engine 5 and you can play with friends.

It's been really interesting to have been on this project since it's inception and see it evolve. Hope you all enjoy when it's released into Early Access next year.

I wish all workers a very unionize and go on strike.
