It's called the Cobra Effect. India put a bounty on cobras and people started breeding them making the problem worse.

I finally tried this game and holy shit is it terrible. The UI is janky and unintuitive. The movement is slow and stiff or sonic on crack and nothing in-between. The frame rate is terrible even on a decent machine with appropriate settings. Just overall a bad experience. I don't care if it's still "In development" get your fundamentals right before you go adding more shit.

I'm having a daughter at the end of April. We plan on calling her Dylan. You should name him Dylan then they would have a random stranger twin situation.

Yeah but that's a large percentage of Iceland if you consider the long term possibility of eruption in human terms. This town has already experienced massive earthquakes that have destroyed homes and infrastructure. It would take a huge amount of effort and money to fix an area that's unstable.

It seems like from what I've seen they have evacuated the town and should be relatively safe if it does erupt. That being said it's a tragedy if it does erupt and they lose the town. They have already had pretty major infrastructure damage and would take a ton to restore the town if this passes. Lots of people have already lost their homes and I hope the best for them all.

PatricianTV is one of the best long form video game essay writers out there. Really understands the topic they are talking about. Would recommend watching all his content if you like the format.

This was a great video. I guess I am the target audience though.

It's easy you just buy three times the current hardware, and just cycle it. Obviously that's more efficient. /s

Ain't gunna happen. No job is safe. Been laid off 5 or 6 times in my career with "safe" jobs

Was working on a game where we drew a fake audio graph to a black texture. The code originally cleared this texture every frame by drawing each pixel black before drawing the audio wave again. I cached the pixels we drew the audio wave to and only changed those back to black saving a huge amount of time.
