Game devs are drowning in complicated proprietary systems (Jonathan Blow)
Переглядів 49 тис.5 місяців тому
Jonathan Blow's Twitch: www.twitch.tv/j_blow Tip me: ko-fi.com/blowfan Jonathan Blow talks about how game developers are forced to deal with big, complicated systems such as DirectX, Vulcan, OpenGL and Metal graphics APIs and their shading languages. This leaves less time to do actual, real work. Nobody feels like they have the time to fix or question the situation. Vendors wanting to keep thin...

I don't know if it falls under the same category, but it's insane how many people give up on some problems just because it's not their "job/speciality" or because they dont know the solution from their experience, it's not about knowing the solution, but to learn how to find it.
I think he is right. I also think he does a poor job of explaining why he is right. But it's useful information.
For the reactionary everything is a matter of consciousness and will.
The short answer should just be "Bloat". A custom made engine has the potential to be orders of magnitude more efficient than a general purpose software suite like Unreal, Unity, Godot, etc.. but that depends on the talent of the programmer(s). That's why Doom can run on practically anything, but if you remake Doom using Unity, it will be enormous and slow by comparison.
Is this guy on Windows!?!?
This is such an example of "I sit in my chair and program for 100 hours" looks like. Why haven't we built new and exciting buildings? Because when building finishes construction, no one is pogging about it on twitter. Why dont we built like Hoover dam 2? And who needs it? Regardless if we even have place or not, what good its gonna do? Same lunar landings- unless we find a stable source of water and materials up there it is all just yapping. When american warmachine won any wars? Maybe say thanks that we are not a radioactive dust? Brainrot is everywhere! Gen Z is failing! Gen A is DOOOOOOOMED! Good Lord, can stand people like this.
The problem with AI isn't the jobs, the problem is copyright theft, blatant infringement on rights.
I agree 100% with what he's saying. But I'm unsure if he's coming from a place of resentment and insecurity or from genuine harsh compassion. Which I dont really vibe with.
Jon has the satisfyingly harsh demeanor that Andrew tate. But the difference is he is an actually smart and wise guy that speaks actual helpful advice.
Agreed 100%. Recently I have discovered that I can shoot 8:7 with GoPro, and how amazing these videos look. It feels like I am in the moment, I don’t understand why movies are all wide instead of 4:3 or 8:7
that's a cool ass lamp what the hell
Why do people lie about skills being dependent on the amount of time put in , my dude let me tell you some real shit me and my friend literally was puttng in almost the samw amount of time learning to code , i got my eyes fucked up i cant even read properly now, my whole health is messed up i dont even move out of my chair unless its time for food or something , he acquired skills and i acquired a fked up body, life doesn't treat you equally my guy there can be a dude who learn more skills with 5hours put in than a dude who put in a whole damn week, life is all luck
yea well i dont want to be the best programmer, give me my money im off after 7 hours bye, theres more to life than typing on a computer
This is probably the result of valve having a certain incentive structure that rewards employees for working on new things more than refining existing products. I think this is why their older games aren't very well supported. On the other hand a company like riot has a very narrow focus on League of Legends, Valorant, so on and trying to maximize the potential of just a few projects while slowly expanding.
Thank goodness he didn't actually go the Dr disrespect route 3:13
You sire, are speaking my language!
Not gonna watch the video but the answer is that people are trying to put a bandaid fix on the symptoms while ignoring the root cause. Think, could climate change have existed 200 years, ago? 500 years ago? It’s literally just the result of extreme industrialization, an unnatural plague on the world. Let’s just go from riding horses to using 1 billion gas guzzling cars to get us to our jobs. Then let’s pretend that we can “fix the problem” by protesting and Greta thunberg. We can all save the planet using our individual choice to not use cars, it’ll work! No it won’t idiot. Are you all so blind? The current industrialized world literally runs on the fuel the creates the problem in the first place. If the world stays this way, it never changes. Your little protests and activism’s do nothing. “We need to save the animals from going extinct when we killed 99% of their population for our own gain to begin with”. 😂😂. Industrialization is the epitome of human greed, taken to %1000000. It’ll result in the melting of the ice caps that sink into the ocean and flood the world. Our greed and sin will cause all of our deaths, just like the great flood which occurs in the Bible. It was already written.
it scares me a little. I will buy game for sure, but i finished all puzzles in braid by myself except one, in witness I skipped probably one of a third, because some puzzles are hidden, some puzzles can't be solved at certain step, and some are too rigged or difficult (I'm sorry, musical section, it's just too much). And I definitely liked Braid more. Braid was an experience, witness was a puzzle game.
The more I watch of Jblow the less I understand how such stupid people find themselves on his chat. What are they even doing there? The questions he gets are beyond idiotic 95% of the time. Are they kids??
Where would the test grounds be for a nuclear reactor... 😂😂😂 Man how dumb are people????
Capital gains taxes stifle investment. Taxes on the unrealized gains will stop investment in its tracks. Owning a home would be a liability at that point.
dang, emacs is struggling on..... text size??
Would be faster if he used LSP
3:11 yeah.
this looks sooo boring. my god. how is this popular..? reminds me of fallout, without the aesthetic nor humor, and far more randomness (random abyss?? LOL. explosion?)
this is all i need in life. J just critiquing the crap out of pop games. He's so keen on bad design! lmao, how bad is it if you skip the intro video by accident! i can't believe these issues still exist.
you work for years to make your masterpiece, just to see it blatantly copied, all the way down to the stacks of boards, without the good gameplay. ugh. originators should be able to sue
"portal 2 is not a good puzzle game". hahahahah. thank goodness. that had to be said.
J keeps it 100, 100% of the time.
i dunno about climate change, but i can ensure jon is right about the homeless problem of SF. the shelters are prisons, isolated in some random terrible spot in downtown, next to liquor stores, staffed by people who are completely alienated from what's going on, most often hired far away from the city, similar to how the police are hired. prisons are businesses.
LOL at the end clip. that summed it up perfectly.
46.2% women for fall 2023... the gender ratio for going to coffee shops would be more useful ;) www.colorado.edu/oda/sites/default/files/attached-files/overallprofilefa23.pdf
jon's rants are satisfying
Is the guy who has put out 2 medium sized projects in over 15 years really the expert on productivity?🤔
He’s not wrong about the design being lazy but “THIS THROWAWAY DETAIL IN A VIDEO GAME IS UNREALISTIC, DEVS ARE HACKS” is possibly the most Autism Speaks video game criticism of all time
There was a lot of lore about having to shoot yourself in the head. The whole story with this game is dope
Artistic decisions are very subjective. I definitely fit into the camp of people who felt let down by his decision here and I wouldn't recommend the game to others as I'd expect them to find it deeply disappointing for the same reason. At least listening to this, I can see the half finished story in the game and how he chose to walk away from it. The Witness is simultaneously the most beautiful and unsatisfying game I've played, but he made his choices and I can't objectively tell him he's wrong.
I begged neih i pleaded. Js cannot do this. Cannot does not exist in the mind which delegates but only in those that execute. I really loved programming. Now i love grants wiskey.
Software went wrong the day project managers realised they can make money from your work.
G damn unit. Man can make trail mix with pixels... you be full. I am saying.
I like this dude. He be so long i dont tell lies. Saturated af. Bad ass mother who dont take no bull feom no one Where is my lucky egg
Living the pipedream 😂
I'm exosted after 8h / day of work. But I use to love 16h / day working on my own projects.
If you really want to know. You will know. But remember there is no not knowing after that occured. It. Is much darker. To understand will take everything. But you will also see how it could not take less
Dont stress bro. It is already coming for you. Try not to ne always angry. I tell myself Good luck All i can say is that we can win
The people who made and rule the us. Are few big stong. It is not an issue for them. They have always used u .. to get what they want. The truth will take you atleast 7 years to resolve. Believe me Or dont. Idc
Windows needs to die. So does javascript. It feels like we are all screaming at the wall... i will help dont know how or when. But gosh damn lucker poppos. The shit is wrong world wide. Love you mr blow. Wish i was better...
This happened to me, caused me unemployment for six months, and now I'm thousands in debt. Should have taken the signs more seriously and pivoted profession.
I think Jon doesn't realize/want to believe that he got old and stopped talking to young people who are the ones actually talking about music.
Spegetti code goes brrr. 😂
