  • This is only the pilot and they’re trying to get the series greenlit.

    Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
    But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that’s just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

    Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

    So this animation randomly exploded and made it’s way onto my frontpage.

    I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I’d share it with the fediverse.

    To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called “Glitch” and the creator called “Gooseworx” had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!




  • Yea, they are useless when being changed at will, but what if the TOS specifically said “You can disregard future TOS versions and still abide by this old one under certain circumstances” ?
    You would still be complying with the Terms of Service, by not honoring the new Terms of Service.

    Obviously, this is still a terrible situation regardless, but I am thinking about if the old TOS won’t give already released games a way out of this BS, or even better, may keep a usable Unity version alive for the future. Long term obviously, as many people as possible should ditch unity entirely, but for right now, it looks like a lot of developers will have big trouble starting in just 3 months.


  • I think the worst part of it all is the trust that is irrevocably broken now.
    This is obviously a moronic scummy decision driven by greed, but it also goes directly against past decisions. As per this reddit post, Unity actually had a TOS in action that protected Developers against retroactive changes like this. Specifically, it stated that you could choose to continue using old versions of the engine and comply to the old TOS if an update to the TOS that you disagree with ever happened. This specific part of the TOS was deleted last year.

    If they actually try to enforce this new crap on already released games (that accepted an older version of the TOS) then it would seem blatantly illegal (I’m not a lawyer though).

    Even if they revert everything by tomorrow, the whole fiasco still shows where Unity’s current interests are, and make the company a liability to deal with for any game developer.

    I don’t like the way this question is framed. It implies that IQ is a meaningful indicator of intelligence as well as that intelligence can be generalized and measured accurately. In truth, it can’t.

    While there exists a certain correlation between measured IQ and academic success, these things can always explained via different factors as well, for instance the amount care that your parents put into how well you do academicallg early on in life, shaping your values, beliefs and personality. Someone whose parents put effort into making sure they did well at school will probably also care more for taking such an IQ test seriously as well as have academic success. Do note, that there is only little correlation between IQ and later levels of income in their line of work.

    To go back to the actual question, you cope with it by realizing that intelligence is a diverse and complex concept, where different people do well on different things. While you might certainly have a domain where you are objectively “better” at than someone else (measured in some way), this does not mean you are objectively better at every domain. By realizing these personal strengths and personal weaknesses we can overcome them by working in a field where we are best at and learn from others at fields they are better at in order to become a better person all around.

    Humble yourself and never forget that your own personal experience shouldn’t be the gold standard for everyone else. They have their own values and beliefs backed up by their own experience.






  • I’ve sunk like 290~ hours so far into it (although some of it is definitely being AFK).
    Have all Quests, all Caves, Lightroots and am sitting at 95% map completion. Planning to get the 100% before my Hero’s Path is full.
    Not sure if I grind out the last few remaining things that don’t count towards the map percentage completion (beating every boss encounter everywhere, upgrading every armor to max).


  • counterpoint: DDOS’ing has been around for a while and is something every mid-sized or bigger online service has to deal with eventually.
    If you release an always online product in order to sell your shitty microtransactions and take away control from the player, then you should at least make sure the always online product can stay online and incorporate some DDOS protection.
