  • DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files

    Jump

  • I don't want to see these images, but I want to know the context of them. Is there any article that describes the scenario taking place? I really don't want to start searching for this.

  • The worst is when you find out from other people fucking around. I'm looking at you, Stephanie.

  • I mean, that kid is a poet. I hope they find a way to channel that.

  • PROSECUTE ICE #thejaampod #podcast #shorts #Abughazaleh (This is what a progressive looks like)

  • She’s asking for money from constituents, not from corporations. Money is a requirement to get your name out there so enough people are aware of you enough to vote for you. I don’t see how asking for money is a criticism. I give money to politicians whose platforms I agree with.

  • Jeffrey Epstein Sent Five Nights At Freddy’s Porn Via 4Chan Links, Emails Show

    Jump

  • He wasn't just on 4chan. He was "friends" with Christopher Poole, aka moot, founder of 4chan.

    Also it's possibly the reason /pol/ exists at all since it was created within days of them meeting and having at least an hour long conversation.

  • One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study Reveals

    Jump

  • Investors are not required to form an indie studio, in the case where every team member of that studio has some means to pay their own rent/mortgage, bills, and feed themselves for the entire duration of the project. If you're in the US, you'll also need to figure out how you're paying for health insurance. This could be a passion project in addition to a day job, but coordinating work/life balance in that scenario with multiple team members is exponentially difficult.

    Money adds up quick. Let's use some round numbers and say you want to hire a team with some experience (those folks that just got laid off and are looking for work). Let's say everybody on the team costs the project $100k/year in salary & benefits. Let's just imagine that includes costs a normal employer would pay: insurance premiums, IT hosting costs, all the little stuff. Note, this is underpaying people with more than 5 years experience who live in California (where many game dev studios are based). Let's say you can get the game made in one year with everybody starting on day one and ending on ship day, exactly 365 days later. People will be wearing multiple hats, but let's be general.

    • 1x Gameplay Programmer
    • 1x 3D Artist (general modeler)
    • 1x 2D Artist (general texture artist)
    • 1x Game Designer (Camera/Controls/Combat)
    • 1x Audio Designer

    $500k

    Expanding that team:

    • 1x Animator
    • 1x Character Artist
    • 1x Environment Artist
    • 1x Prop Artist
    • 1x VFX Artist
    • 1x Lighting Specialist
    • 1x Tools Programmer
    • 1x Render/Optimization Programmer
    • 1x Level Designer
    • 1x Narrative Designer

    $1.5M

    That's a 15 person studio, where people are still wearing multiple hats like UI, Music, IT, Testing, other things I'm forgetting about. This isn't anywhere close to a AAA sized team of 100+ people.

    This is also assuming you can stick to a STRICT time schedule. In reality you're probably going to need a very small team at the start and not grow until you finish prototyping, then again once you've done a vertical slice.

    Anyway. This post got real long. The gist of it is the people making the game need that money to live. There should be space in the industry to make a game with a team this size, paying your employees something close to what the big studios pay them. Getting that kind of money has been incredibly difficult these past few years.

  • More 'No Kings' protests planned for March 28 as outrage spreads over Minneapolis deaths

    Jump

  • What does this even mean? There isn't a security checkpoint that will turn you away. If you wanted to, you could show up with a sign that says "God save the king. I love the Donald." There isn't some single entity that will say you're breaking the rules, you've just got to deal with the consequences of your actions.

    That being said, the crowd is a blend of leftists and non-establishment liberals, I would be surprised if anyone took a Zionist stance.

    Lastly, read the room. Yes, Israel is still continuing to commit genocide. That's not the top priority of the protest. This feels like going to a pro-choice rally and carrying a sign about climate change. Our views are likely aligned, but that's not our current focus.

  • What show do you recommend to watch?

    Jump

  • I Ike Righteous Gemstones, but it's A LOT of Danny McBride. Aside from John Goodman, every actor is channeling Danny McBride through their line delivery and movement. It's like Danny McBride directed them by saying "Do it like THIS, exactly like this. Mimic my every inflection."

  • What band do you think doesn't deserve the hype or fandom?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you don't like pop music. 1989 is an objectively good album. I don't know anything else about any of her other music, but that single album is DENSE with well executed main stream pop.

    Having said that, should tickets to see her be as expensive as they are? Should people be as obsessed with her as they are? No on both counts.

  • Ending a relationship during the dating phase is a positive outcome.

    Jump

  • This is why it feels bad. Only one of you didn't think this was the right partner to reach that eventuality. It's not wrong to mourn the loss of a future you believed was assured.
