They’re playtesting. That’s where you find bugs. What the fuck did they expect.

This service smells like exploitation. $20/hr to play your game and they pay the tester $10/hr.

What you have here is a self selecting sample of developers who are willing to pay $20/hr. Make of that what you will.

Not usually with the default layout. But I’m of the opinion that best practice for accessibility is standard layouts you can modify.

Depends on the engine but generally for this you have a proxy mapped to different controller types and assign custom buttons to the proxy. Makes it much easier.

You're absolutely right! I'm overcomplicating this and making stupid design mistakes.

also the trigger buttons are often switched. left becomes trigger and right becomes aim.

the term you're looking for is southpaw controller layout. common in shooters like battlefield, gears, call of duty. :)

named after the left handed boxing stance. yes, the sticks are reversed in a southpaw controller layout. controllers with buttons on the left never took off.

We're testing an updated release of Glaze for NVidia 50xx GPUs. If you have one of those chips, and want to help us test out the new binary, add a comment below. We just need a few volunteers to make sure the new binary works as planned. Thx.

the lack of human intervention is criminal.

curl killed their hackerone program because of AI commits unreviewed by a person. or even a person who knows what they're doing.

this is a super example. "critical stack-based buffer overflow" that doesn't even call curl.

i think one way is to not make it a penalty to fail it, but make it an advantage to pass it. rather than having the penalty for a skill test you pass by taking your eyes off the combat, it's a reward like increased fire rate or damage for a period.

iirc a couple of weapons in warframe do this?

image of GPT slop made email subject line from gog.com. it says "This is more than nostalgia. This is impact." followed by two emojis. the form "This is [negation of] x. This is [y]." and over-use of emojis is a clear and known tell that AI has written something.

here's some slop made copy i got in an email from @gog.com.

if you're in marketing, you should be writing copy. not having a bot do it.

for a platform with negligible market share, you need to put effort into communicating with customers. not have a bot do it.

30% cut for this GPT ass shit.

i've been disliking twitch lately.

this woman beat a puppy on stream. horrific. was arrested, charged with animal cruelty. banned on twitch.

and is now back on twitch. still a partner.

do you hate this too? twitch only care about money. if you stream, disable midrolls and push people to patreon.

nah keep going. the point is that you learn more. if anyone makes you feel bad for it, that's their problem. no one has ever been right 100% of their life. they're making you hold yourself to a standard no one else has achieved.

keep going. open discussions. it's the only way things move on.

Quick update; I'm going to postpone the Flag Pack a bit to give me some breathing room (it needs work), instead I'll release Cube Pets!

Will be coming between March 9th and 15th! #gameassets

sery catches spam even before the mods can. when i got sery they were like "it's doing our job for us" and i'm like that's maybe 5% of your job why don't you get back to the other 95% and tell me i suck.
