who heard the sound of moaning woman ?
if I had known how important math equations are in video game development, I would’ve given a shit back in high school. Now I’m learning all this stuff again but with an actual desire to know it

if you build something digital good enough, you can reach the entire world and build a really great business
- Indie game development
's game developers this is gold. I like what he said at . It seems that game dev could go the way of YouTube. I find YouTube superior to television or even movies because it provides custom content for different groups, unlike mainstream media that provides one size fits all. Video games could do the same, specially low budget indie games.
niche success , then reinvest
love that he said this right as Expedition 33 blew away the gaming industry as Sandfall’s first game.
going after it
- Unreal Engine
so true... Wolfenstein was scary in a good way. Those sounds, that atmostphere. I don't play anymore but Unreal Tourneament, Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem was the soundtrack of my youth 😄
i remember loving CompUSA or whatever major retailer for PCs bc they'd have demo computers that always had wolfenstein, it was the best thing I'd ever seen and I've been a die hard FPS player ever since.

I was curious about the math in the graphics processing at
Very sensible advice for cutting through AI hype at that Lex would do well to take "everybody whos looking at this topic should actually try using the coding assistants on hard problems and see how they do there"
- Simulating reality
regarding "Simulating reality",ask yourself, "have I _ever_ seen _anything_ *GLITCH* into or out of existence?"This might be happening at the absolute smallest level of quantum physics,but at the macro level?...There are asteroids, stars, and planets that are surely of far greater importance.
Shame sesame wasn't mentioned at around .
- this is basically what John Horton Conway talked about with "The game of life" - which has been talked about a lot in this pod earlier. Rest in peace.

- This guy has the same vision that we have.
as a gamer, that sounds awfulnot only that complete stylistic confusion, everything just becomes one big mush,why do they always seek to mainstream everything? unity had the same customer tracking systems in development, so they can track, exploit and monetize and datahoard the playerbase and keep them in their ecosystem like cattle, uff
Lex: apologizes for asking a stoner question.Sweeney: “No, I’ll knock your freaking socks off with this idea”

it’s unsportsmanlike. We are talking about games, and one of the platform owners is actively bullying and stifling production, purchase, and pursuit of enjoyment. All for self indignant monetary gain and monopolization of the market. As a consumer, I am hurt.
