lol yeah

@Grump The Horrible The Doom engine is very good, and unlike others, it gets resolution upgrades when used with processors with more cores.

2019-03-09 16:50:14 UTC  

might try playing on nightmare again

2019-03-09 16:50:25 UTC  

People have described its unusual performance as being due to an engine that "shunts as much data to the GPU as possible as fast as possible".

2019-03-09 16:50:46 UTC  

well also I'd imagine it's well optimized

2019-03-09 16:50:54 UTC  

and well coded

2019-03-09 16:51:11 UTC  

Not just that, it's a clever architecture.

2019-03-09 16:52:41 UTC  

isn't that a thought! Making something that works well and is fun to play is a winning strategy for making a great game! The other Devs that are under Bethesda should take note lol

@Grump The Horrible Remember when Sony execs publicly demonstrated an "amazing new feature" their games had, by one executive passing a copy to another executive?

2019-03-09 16:53:36 UTC  

"here's how to share games on PS4." ::passes game over:: "Thanks!"

2019-03-09 16:55:09 UTC  

lol

2019-03-09 16:55:14 UTC  

Amazing.

@Grump The Horrible I'd like to see a game console that uses ROM cartridges where the mask ROM containing graphics data is VERY close to the connector, with the position of the GPU on the board being very close to the cartridge slot.

2019-03-09 17:04:01 UTC  

@ebowden does upside-down land have regional specific shit for games like Europe does?

2019-03-09 17:04:13 UTC  

or is it the same as the US

2019-03-09 17:05:20 UTC  

Not sure.

2019-03-09 17:06:21 UTC  

@Grump The Horrible Just in case you didn't know, one of the major performance bottlenecks with gaming GPUs is the RAM.

2019-03-09 17:06:37 UTC  

yep Australia has PAL

2019-03-09 17:06:49 UTC  

same a Europe

2019-03-09 17:07:15 UTC  

North and South America have the same

2019-03-09 17:07:24 UTC  

The idea with this console design would be having the graphics components of the mask ROM pull double duty.

The hunter call of the wild has been fun

@Grump The Horrible Wolf 2 was my GOTY for 2017

2019-03-09 19:19:13 UTC  

What's Wolf 2?

2019-03-09 19:19:34 UTC  

Wolfenstein

2019-03-09 19:19:43 UTC  

Ah, ok.

2019-03-11 20:21:41 UTC  

Do you guys know of any "indie" developers of racing games? I kinda want to send someone the ideas I have and maybe get a job with that.

2019-03-11 20:22:17 UTC  

I've already worked in the gamedev side of things, not a rookie.

2019-03-11 21:30:28 UTC  

Yeah, ideas are cheap. VEEEEERRRRRRY cheap. What you need for such a job is skills.

2019-03-11 21:34:42 UTC  

I have worked as a tester and consultant in a PS4 game.

2019-03-11 21:34:48 UTC  

A rather sizeable one.

2019-03-11 21:35:16 UTC  

Consultant?

2019-03-11 21:35:39 UTC  

What did you do when you were a consultant?

2019-03-11 21:36:03 UTC  

Yes, I helped them make the game closer to reality by relaying rules of the real rulebooks regarding the competition.

2019-03-11 21:36:20 UTC  

Both about the vehicles and about the routes.

2019-03-11 21:36:57 UTC  

It was baffling how they did not know basic rules even non-hardcore fans of the race know.

2019-03-11 21:37:19 UTC  

Ok. Well, consultants are almost never creative directors or people who write the design docs, so you still need more skills.

2019-03-11 21:37:22 UTC  

The team was rather happy me but the game did not sell well enough so the company downsized quite a lot.
