News consumers are more influenced by political alignment than by truth, study shows
  • I wonder if there's an evolutionary reason for this. It might have been beneficial when we lived in smaller tightnit groups. Being a part of the group was more beneficial for safety than the alternative, so we tended to hold the views of the group regardless of whether the views are correct or not. No way to test this unfortunately, and it's kind of an armchair hypothesis, but it kind of makes sense.

    Zuckerberg: The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves
  • I've played VR before. But I don't see it as a necessity just to play video games. It's also incredibly disorienting after playing for a while, and it's expensive to get the VR headsets, usually, also requiring you to already have a console, or PC to hook up to, so why wouldn't we just play regular games then?

    8 of 11 members of Mexico’s Supreme Court to resign in protest of controversial judicial overhaul
  • Yeah, i would actually rather cases be assigned randomly to people on the circuit court instead of having people on a Supreme Court, even if they're term limited. Then you just rotate who the assignments go to, and force the circuit courts to be elected, just like everybody else. But, there's also more of them, so less chance of there being attempts at partisan stacking.

    I enjoy doing game jams. Usually I do a retro N64 jam. But I've also done a bad art jam, and a few halloween jams. This time I've decided to do a full 2D SNES jam. Hope to see you there!

    It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

    First look at the tutorial boss I'm working on for The Dusty Old Game JamMusic Credit: Ancient War by Makai Symphony https://makai-symphony.com/

    This is my entry to The Dusty Old Game Jam. It's the first real boss fight I've ever made, and I think it's coming along nicely.

    This is just the first encounter with the boss. Subsequent encounters start the fight immediately. Also got a cool jump attack, and several variety of regular attacks working since I recorded this the other day.

    P.s. sorry if the quality is bad. I used OBS to record this, welcome to any suggestions of something else that will get me higher quality video.

    I'm doing this in Unreal Engine 5, but how this is done should be relevant for any engine, minus the details of spawning and despawning.

    Anybody know how large games handle spawning and despawning enemies? One idea I had was to have a really large sphere around the player that spawns enemies when the player overlaps spawn points. But that could get tricky to implement. Another idea I had was to spawn enemies as the player enters different areas, and just put them to sleep/deactivate them until the overlap a large player sphere.

    Would love to know other people's thoughts on this. I'm looking for something that has good performance and scalability. I'm going to start testing ideas soon. But would be great if someone already knew of a solution that works.

    Edit: Why downvote? I'm asking for discussion on algorithms. Is that not the point of this community...
