Enric Alvarez es el puto Pablo Motos de la industria española. Igual de subnormal, igual de acomplejado.

Que cojones xd

Pero es que veo que no ha cambiado ni la estrategia de amenazar con consecuencias legales. Yo fui a juicio a declarar como testigo (imagino que no se atrevió a denunciar a un periodista) porque Enric empezó una caza de brujas, denunciando ex-trabajadores para intentar localizar mis fuentes.

Somehow we had a successful game launch in 2025: A thread 🧵

We launched Little Rocket Lab this week, and it's been mega for us. Which is amazing, because well, the industry is bad right now!

So I wanna go through the things we did, in the hope that something here can be helpful to someone here

I am rarely proud of my home country's government decisions, but as a Spaniard living in Germany, seeing our president (and occasionally even our king) spearheading the opposition against Israel in Europe has been one of those rare occasions.

Unity has disclosed a years-old security exploit that could allow attackers to execute code on a PC running a game or app built with Unity 2017.1 or later. It’s urging developers to update their games, and Valve has released an updated version of Steam too www.theverge.com/news/791609/...

Depende, pero por lo general no. Cosas como la demoscene tienen una finalidad puramente artística, y ahí lo puedo aceptar. Pero en general la programación es un medio para un fin, y la idea no sería expresarte mediante el código, sino escribir el mejor código que puedas.
