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. jettelly.com/store/character… #unity3d #spine2d #gameprogramming

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

If you ever need a "real" definition for woke (other than just "anything I don't like") then this is one of the best explanations I've seen.

I will answer this as a former member of Gamergate. Woke is the word people use when they can’t just say they don’t want depictions of women and minorities. It’s rooted in the myth that progressive inclusion is the reason for bad art, rather than misguided capitalism.

Y'know this reminds me that I've been wondering about the programming jargon 'yak shaving'. As in, how widespread is knowledge of that term, even among programmers? It seems very obscure to me, like I have to explain it to other programmers.

a lot of programming terms escape into the wild i think a lot of people have heard of 'rubber ducking' where you explain the problem to a rubber duck and the explanation helps you understand the problem but have you heard of 'duck typing'?

And 4. The man was terrifying, so for him to say Trump is a true threat to the republic is like Thanos warning the Avengers about Kang
