Re: Freelancers and contractors...quarterly taxes!?
Quarterly estimated payments are the self-employment equivalent of withholding taxes that happen when you work for a company. If you don't pay them the IRS will penalize you for an amount roughly equal to the interest you would owe on a loan for the amount you owe in taxes. It's OK to underpay or overpay by a bit but you… -
Re: Gaming/Workstation Build
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's excessive either way. If you're rendering stuff a render farm + 4790k is more efficient because that way you can work and render at the same time. You can get a really nice renderfarm put together with the amount of money you'll save on not getting an absolutely absurd sound card, CPU and… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
It was probably a bit confusing, because I greatly simplified much of the physics involved.

My soft body physics are super quick so it's no problem. When I use solid body dynamics, I'll… -

Only after they mention salary should you start negotiating, generally you should never start talking about it yourself (unless they actually say you're hired but never mention the compensation). If the amount is low, I would tell them you've heard X amount is the usual starting pay for… -

Steam Greenlight... Money where the Mouth is.
So, this has bothered me about Greenlight. Games can get to the top by people simply getting others voting, even if those others might not have real interest. Sort of like 1 upping on Facebook competitions. There is no commitment on the voters side other than someone spamming something to a group. So, instead. What if the… -
