  • Gamedev using D here, my main gripe with programming isn’t AI, but that I decided to go with my own engine, and now there’s barely any documentation on graphics API use that isn’t the OpenGL manual, as I’m encountering very interesting bugs recently (textures disappearing, texture glitches, etc.), while most article nowadays being about how I wasn’t supposed to learn any programming, but instead art, so I could create the next Undertale, Touhou, etc. all alone, and it would be truly my game with my true intentions.

    Some people are often asking “but what about these other tools”, when I criticize AI. IMHO, some of the tools that made game development more accessible also made it more atomized, since you have less need for a programmer nowadays, with some tools not even requiring “classical” coding, but is visual in nature instead.















  • When I was a right winger and had some more connections to musicians here in Hungary, some came up with the idea that the government should allocate some funds to pay musicians to use Hungarian made equipment, especially as some popped out in 2010 expecting a “raise in nationalism and love for domestic products”, so they don’t have to use foreign ones in exchange of endorsement money.

    The reception? We got called communists for barring them from buying “quality branded” products from the west, and they told us the horrors of buying Tisza shoes instead of Adidas too…
