Amazing to see so many liberal us Americans going "well really Lula isn't perfect either" And I need them to understand this is why they're in the situation they're in now Latching onto the first 'well both sides are bad 😔' and leaving it at that. Amazing how this type of propaganda still works

And in tech it’s only arguably a little better than a code monkey lmao

So reddit finally bent the knee to the age verification crowd. I'm finally free of that hell-site

Every day is just: - Wanting to scream into the void - Typing out big rant - Hitting "Discard" button on rant - Wanting to scream into the void

The theme for a boss fight has no right to go this hard #ffxiv youtu.be/F-xJV9aHzIw?...

I am learning to be more and more concise in my responses

Maybe the #godot hivemind might have an idea for me? I have a 2d atlas with dozens of individual sprites I want to use as decoration in a scene. What's the easiest way to handle that? I thought about tilemaps, but that doesn't feel amazing and leaves me with not being able to place things offgrid

It’s called “regulatory capture” They want to be able to regulate low cost, open source, open weight models out of existence so that only their own are allowed on the market. I hate gen AI, but even I know that this shit is heinous

We have achieved Godot 5 internally at the Godot Foundation, but it is too powerful to be released. We need a bajillion dollars. Thanks 💸

No wonder I’m making the game I’m making 😂 lotsa RPGs on this list #my9games my9games.net/en

how would you describe your social media reach? mine:

Threatening we'll "get left behind" doesn't work when the destination is somewhere we don't want to go Like brother if the place you're going is a hellscape where everything sucks, I insist on being left behind. My ideal outcome is being left behind. Sign me up for never following you anywhere

simply adore coding to me it’s like poetry, and as intimately personal and creative as any other form of writing

Oh man, lead singer for my favorite band supports indies in a big way? Hell yes 😌

I found JK Rowlings most hated function in godot Anyway, #transrights are human rights

Shovelware has never been easier to produce. I'm tired boss...

every job deserves comfort, dignity and safety! 🫡

Tip for newer gamedevs; Always put in the time to make it so that you can test a minimal version of a level in your game. Just an empty room and the thing you need to test. I see so many devs running through half their level to test something every time!

i want games made by people who get to keep their jobs

I don’t think I’m autistic, but damn does this sum up how I feel about the current day and age

You see it in other industries as well. No one wants this shit. Especially not in fields where the _whole point_ is the creativity

I sometimes wish I’d had a career of game development instead of your bog standard software development 😅 Sure, my career is a bit more stable, but damn do I wish I was using my creative energy on games and not… *reads notes* tax information collection

After watching all the stuff coming out of Gamescom, the majority of which seems to be Unreal Engine games with that same Unreal Engine realistic lighting/rendering approach, I realize I've really slid entirely over to "I'd rather play random 6 dollar illustrative indie games on Steam".

I just spent nearly 3 hours trying to figure out why the camera in my game would stick to the player no matter what I did to reparent it to another node… Only to realize that I had an additional camera attached to the player #gamedevfail #godot

Tell me about something that's part of the mental compost 💩🪰 (as Le Guin would put it) that fertilises your creativity. Something that is -not- the same kind of thing as what you're making.

Why is it, that when tech bros talk about this kind of tech, they assume that people will use it "to learn" rather than use it as the thing it's been marketed as: a replacement for your own thoughts and creativity. I swear I feel like I'm screaming into the void sometimes lol

I've said this before, but Godot just lets me get things done. It's lightweight, agile, and you can *really* customize the editor/workflow with your own scripts. Plus open source means you're not tied to a shitty corporation. You can take the code and leave.

I mean yes? But also no? Yes, let’s stop giving money to games that aren’t much more than “do everything for me” But also, to lump games like VS, FFXII, and Factorio into the same category is pretty baffling. I know it’s bait, but I ain’t paying 6£ just to see what else is in this article.

Finally got a pic of all of mine When did I become a collector of handheld gaming devices? 😅
