Jaguar already nailed their marketing decades ago, and given the demand for nostalgia, now would’ve been the perfect time to revive it. Instead, the sad irony is that their “Copy nothing” campaign abandons their own originality in favor of a fad that peaked during the pandemic.

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

Something a lot of people are probably curious about: @R_Sng is talking about generative AI and how it can impact the future of how NPCs are handled in games. #Unwrap2023

All my #UX peeps about to go back to school for #SpatialUI
The best XR interactions don't just take the 2D UX lesson, buttons and interfaces we're used to using in 2D applications, and transplant them into mixed reality. Instead, they take full advantage of 3D space and the interactions made possible by it. This is a great example!

Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 and 2030 to Blazers. Phoenix lands Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson.

Sharing the most relevant🧵 on the recent #UnityRuntimeFee Remember that the decisions for this were made at a far higher level than the @unity employees you know and follow. #JustMyTwentyCents #Unity #GameDev
I don't have all the answers, but I can clarify a few things about @unity price changes, and hopefully address some of the (very valid) concerns. 1. The runtime fee only applies to devs whose game makes over 200k revenue in a year, AND over 200k lifetime installs. AND. Not OR.

#UnityTips Instead of using FindObjectsOfType, use FindObjectsByType which was added in recent unity version. It is taking a sortMode as a parameter and setting this to FindObjectsSortMode.None skips sorting the array and runs significantly faster. #indiedev #gamedev
