Robert Kist 🇦🇹 🇸🇬<p>not sure who needs to hear this (juniors maybe?)

The willingness to learn, to take direction and then to take all of this and do your thing!</p><p>Some of the best times I had in this industry was working with juniors. </p><p>We should really hire more of them</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a></p>
Steve's Place<p>So I had this bug. I could not understand why two identical pieces of code, one a child of the other, with 1 variable's worth of difference (except for a mesh), behaved differently. The parent class worked. What was up with the child? The variable was not referenced prior to the failure.</p><p>I tried creating it again.</p><p>I tried creating it brute-force by recreating the class.</p><p>I tried everything I could think of, including stopping and starting the editor. Including deleting saved and intermediate files, plus the DDC.</p><p>Today I just did what I did when I tried creating it again (3 paragraphs above). It worked.</p><p>Clearly, the editor needed a nap.</p><p>C++ is magical code.</p><p>What are the next parts of the incantation? Oh, yes. I remember them now.</p><p>Save. Stop the editor. Make a backup. Never touch this code again, unless it's under duress.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/UE5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UE5</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/RTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RTS</span></a></p>

Weary Wulf<p>[P] I've finally gotten the chance to play Neurodiver and I ADORE it. I'm bwing a healer of minds so of course I do, that's always going to get a tail awag. Still, in looking up the game to see what others thought of it? It was largely feminine names that found the neurodiver cute. *blorp!* I... don't know how to feel about that, but it does add to a growing body of evidence I'm seeing from a... variety of angles.
