Omg, that's next level terrible. 😩

If it reaches you, you were born to go on a fantasy adventure 🏕️

You were able to find another job in the state of this industry?! 👀🙃

Well earned vacation no doubt!! Enjoy your time off, maybe consider taking 2 weeks. 😉

Can't wait to hear what's next for you!

Looks like Palia's April Fool's bobble head buff! XD

Oh wow, have fun, good luck!! 🍀

It Sucks to Work in the Video-Game Industry Right Now Even developers who successfully release big hits, like Fortnite and Battlefield, are losing their jobs

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off.

Hey, they don't call it bean water for nothing. ;)

Other solution being adding a custom natvis directory for Rider to search through.

But that works if you only use one MSBuild toolchain across all of your projects. Unless it's able to differentiate versioning.

Unreal Engine project is missing natvis for STL In an Unreal project, I'm dealing with some third-party code that uses the STL, and it doesn't display correctly in the debugger. For example, in `std::vector` all I can see are its 3 pointer field...

Other solution being copying the VS natvis file into an appropriate directory that Rider can find. rider-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/com...

This one arguably a more minimal change, since you're not changing an entire toolset. But changing the toolset is pretty fast and easy. Hmm.

I'm going to poke JetBrains and report this as a bug, it's pretty annoying this doesn't work.

I'm all for using their MSBuild tooling. But if their tooling doesn't work with the rest of their tooling, it's not a viable solution yet.

How can I view the element contents of an array in debug mode in Rider? My Rider is version 2023.3.3. This happens not only in std::vector, but also in TArray, and I can't debug the specific elements.std::vector<std::vector<int>> heightMap(width, std::vecto...

But also, don't forget to check your logs for natvis issues!

Mine showed up in Rider's Tail log: Help > Tail Log in Console

#JetBrains Rider #gamedev C++ tip!

❌On Windows Rider auto-selects its MSBuild, which is incompatible with Natvis lookup, which means variable watch view for complex data structures doesn't work properly.

✅Select VS's MSBuild, then restart your debugging process, your natvis should now be loading.

when you really think about it, the true value of video games is in laying off thousands of the people who make them at regular intervals in order to increase shareholder value 🥰

I have a personal backlog of 227 tasks on Todoist, (includes stale recurring). Total future/ongoing tasks is roughly 400. With more in both cases on Google Keep, etc.

Too much. AGhhhhh.

At least my tasks are tracked & offloaded (#lifeprotip) so my brain isn't constantly overwhelmed.🤪

You can search for 19.0.3 on the support page to download from them: www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/fami... You just have to register to download it, but afaik you can use a fake email.

CynicalTelescope's comment on "Was it ever possible to install plugins with the free version?" Explore this conversation and more from the davinciresolve community

A source: www.reddit.com/r/davincires...

Free version *used* to allow third party plugin installation, but new version locked that down so you have to pay, b/c people were "taking advantage" by avoiding having to use built-in paid functionality.

So if you can't pay and need to use free, grab Resolve 19.0.3 and prior, not 19.1 and up.

What's this? Info on Unreal's next-generation terrain solution? 👀
Full 3D, enabling overhangs and tunnels?!
Multi-user non-destructive modifiers, and it can still import heightfields?!
Both Nanite and trad LODs 🤯

100%.

I know it's a state-by-state issue, but I'm pissed off @governor.ca.gov Newsom vetoed CA state-wide RCV. The two party system is a huge fucking problem, we need something like RCV nationwide ASAP.
