The brain drain happening in games right now is deeply concerning.
Most of my peers in their late 30s and 40s aren’t interested in returning to games once laid off.
Their knowledge won’t be passed on.
People ask why we don’t just make games like the 2000s through early 2010s? Because most of us are gone or one more layoff from going.
@smogrify Id like to imagine kind of like what UbIsoft devs explained for Anvil they stored the reused code into different libraries based on what IPs and such
🚨 Israeli Plan to Herd Palestinians Into Controlled “Shelters” to Begin “Within A Matter of Weeks”
🔸Israel is preparing to channel Palestinians into fenced “humanitarian shelters” in areas outside Hamas’s control, policed by a foreign force, while its military deepens its occupation of the rest of Gaza, according to the pro-Netanyahu paper Israel Hayom, which reported the plan approvingly.
🔸Under the plan, unarmed civilians would be directed to a first zone in Tel al-Sultan, near Rafah, an area Drop Site has documented Israel systematically razing.
🔸A “multinational force” - the ISF - operating under the Trump administration’s “Board of Peace” would deploy there from a newly built base, equipped to police the zones, while the Israeli military “continues to maintain and deepen its hold” beyond the Yellow Line.
🔸 The camp/base for the force “has already been built,” and the Board of Peace has “begun identifying sites” for logistics warehouses, with the groundwork underway now, and deployment in the coming weeks.
🔸The paper described the effort as a “pincer movement”: the military seizing more territory as the population is siphoned into the controlled zones, in the hope that Hamas is left “without a population, territory or resources.”
🔸Officials said the areas would receive caravans and aid, but not the concrete needed to actually rebuild Gaza.
◽️The plan matches what Drop Site has previously exposed through leaked documents: a surveilled, checkpoint-controlled “planned community” in Rafah designed to force Palestinians into what amounts to an Israeli panopticon, tracked and screened as a condition of receiving aid.
🔸An Israeli political source told the paper the military would keep up “the pace of targeted killings while remaining below the threshold of international criticism… as long as Hamas is unwilling to disarm.”
📸 The buildup is already visible: the “Board of Peace” itself posted images of tactical vehicles arriving at a logistics base on June 30, matching the article’s account of preparations underway.
@iamcheez@80Level@MinnMaxShow Theres such a bizzare lack of forethought at play when it comes to these decisions which bas shown time and time that its non sustainable. Like youre setting up everyone for failure in some way
@GenePark I just wanna know does no one step in early in development to just say hey “maybe we shouldn’t”. Like Snoop Dog im not mad about because they teased that way back when they announced the game. But K3 and Tupac thing its just so bizarre to me especially K3
@GenePark Its super fustrating because i feel like we dont get a lot of games that take place in these 20th century cities aside from Mafia but the team there has very different priorities gameplau wise. Like beat em up, a period piece, a crime drama in Japan its everything i like
@cutepicsofsyko This was kind of an oversight because Makarov was supposed to be one of Barkovs forces and one of his motivations for his terrorism was Bakrovs downfall but for some reason this mission takes place before MW2019 even starts so this attack was kind of pointless.
@kiwitalkz@ThunderBrush Arent those bells and whistles more for the developers tho? Since the appeal of nanite and lumen were so devs didnt have to worry about baking lighting and to minimize LOD creation
