The Sims business model

It’s kinda funny that Godot’s custom language GDScript is, at least on a surface level, pythonic (no list comprehensions, context managers, decorators, etc, it’s mostly syntactical similarities). But type hints do make it run faster!

I was blessed to get to skip most of the old pains in python. I only had a handful of scripts that ever needed to be ported from 2 and they didn’t rely on any libraries. The ecosystem is easy to work with and I’m looking forward to working with Python for the foreseeable future

They still don’t have proper shader precompilation? That’s insane to me

The angle looks a bit odd too, I’d expect those grips to be more prominent if it wasn’t angled down

I wasn’t born yesterday lmao but thanks for explaining the obvious

Do you really think this guy is lying about it?

I’m not sure if accusing someone of lying about cancer is worse than lying about having cancer, but c’mon

I agree with your post, lots of good advice! I’d add the general advice to pick an engine or framework, learn how to use it at a basic level, and do a bunch of game jams. Even if you don’t submit, nothing will teach you more than figuring out how to go from idea to small “finished” game in a short period of time. It won’t be easy, and your games will probably suck for a while, but if you stick with it you’ll have a solid knowledge base and skillset to start building more ambitious projects. Also there are longer game jams (Godot Wild is several weeks), be careful not to burn out like OP says.

You don’t have to write your own engine. If you want to learn how games work behind the scenes knock yourself out, but I find that most people would rather make a game than a tool (which an engine inherently is).

No.

Been listening to ProleteR since high school, he’s releasing a new album early next year!

It’s crazy and frustrating, but at least we got another podcast episode out of it!

I also highly recommend watching it! The fight scenes are awesome and the animation is soooo fluid. Such a good example of adapting a game’s world to a series

Involving corporate email chains, a private investigator investigator, and a Circle K construction site… this special podcast episode is worth listening to! I posted the transcript for easier reading.

Fair, that’s all I want anyway. Masto overlap with lemmy is neat but usually pretty janky looking

Who disagrees on million/billion??

Depending on which app you use (I know Voyager and Mlem support it) you can add a “guest” account to some servers that doesn’t need any login. That’s how I browse world since I don’t have an account there

Apparently we’re moving to piefed 🤞

Screenshots of git issues are one of my favorite genres of meme

NeoToasty being in charge of memes. What does that mean to shitposters and going forward?

Americans will measure with anything but the metric system
