Do you mean the "rendering"? Because as a game dev I can assure you: the modeling is handled by modelers, who are people.

Your point about the many other costs of games is true--askagamedev.tumblr.com has many posts breaking down the many costs--but, like, I think OP (who is also off-base) is trying to make the point that there are increasingly convenient ways to transfer models into game-ready assets, whereas the original question is less about the human cost of making the art, and more about the method used to render it.

Duuude. Your near-religious faith in a concept called "market," your blanket disavowal of academia, and your guarantee that every instance of statistical finding and academic theory will prove to be "biased bullshit" is so amazing to me I wish I could go delete the second part of my original comment and replace it with what you've written here. Good show!

Welp, I guess you just totally 100% proved that no macro-level knowledge can ever really be known, and is probably wrong!

I'm imagining a patternless world, in which every trend is resisted by nature itself, as if reality were alive and conscious and completely devoted to arbitrariness. Because you've convinced me: no fucking way can it be ever possible that any organization in the past or future histories of this world could devalue women's work.

I feel so awed by your encyclopedic literary knowledge, and daunted (yet excited; bursting!) to dare approach collections of words people have written--these objects you deem "books." Thanks, pal. You really gave me a gift here.

SLASHDOT USER: Science, logic, and math are the only valuable forms of human endeavor, and those that employ them are elevated above the teeming, irrational masses.

ALSO SLASHDOT USER: If statistics say that women have it bad, statistics is wrong! Understand, you've got to look at all these other factors about specific women's specific circumstances, and anyways, there is no chance a single company has a culture that would undervalue them! Plus, I knew a woman once and she was a bitch and made mistakes!!

Let me Wikipedia that for you.

I agree with your general sentiment, but you've got Banned Books Week very wrong. Take another look at your link :)

Haha, well I'm not claiming I'm never guilty of this, or it's not a valid choice on how you want to live your life. Just pointing out that for a large number of engineers--a group that usually prides itself on problem-solving--the confusion exhibited in posts about how workplace culture is un-navigable shows a lack of investigative rigor probably worth looking into.

Also, I'm not at work rn :)

....right?

How can so many engineers get the same error message over and over--"People have a problem with you using gendered insults"--and not try just modifying their code just a little?

Like I want to shake them and say, "It's really okay for you to keep being a self-important dick if you really want to! Just be the same self-important dick to everybody!!"

"Some American Workers Try to Live Their Ethical Values"

Regardless of whether or not you agree with those values--and from the modding it looks like a lot of people hovering around this article don't--it is newsworthy that some engineers are willing to turn down lucrative, prestigious jobs because the work they'd be doing, or the company they'd be doing it for, doesn't mesh with their sense of right and wrong.

Of course, in a better world, this wouldn't be newsworthy at all.

Did you or did you not equate immigration with Anglo-Saxon genocide.

Also, I didn't say you were an American nationalist. I said you're a whiny, pedantic white nationalist.

False equivalency much?

Don't pretend to be all offended about somebody noticing you're racist while you're claiming there's some moral imperative to keep a particular racial majority in the US. Like, if you're going to be a white nationalist don't be a whiny, pedantic, pearl-clutching bitch about it.

.................."genocide" != "not enough white people fucking other white people"

and while we're here, "America" != "a bastion of the Anglo-Saxon race"

and also, because even though I think you know this, just in case you don't: when your talking points match Stormfront's, you're being racist.

I just don't get it.

This Stalin-Illuminatus figure(s) that wants to turn America less white by importing thousands of Catholics who all buy into the basic tenants of the dominant economic system, and who trend socially conservative... is that Step 1?

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Profit!!

But also, do you see how the fear of changing demographics is, like, totally obviously literally dictionary-definition racist?
