I wonder if this is why iOS OS files storage keeps growing even when we delete stuff, there’s bugs where stuff isn’t actually deleted but we can’t see it anymore.

@djlink not fun to have a IPhone 11 with only 64 GB. Need to delete apps and files every time Apple release a new version of iOS.

Another post about G4 12" events from ~20 years ago.

a late November evening of 2005. With a "larger" antenna and standing on a mountain to the north of the city.

I used an antenna made for point to point "broadband" connections.
A bit on the larger size than the popular "pringles cantennas" people used to make.

(Funny to think about that I ended up with a work in Cybersecurity a few years later)

@sidde Wow! Year’s flying by! Cybersecurity has gotten better, but the error is still humans using the system.

How have you all been using source control with a team when using Godot??
This past weekend has been a whirlwind of restarting the project editor after syncing changes, dozens of reimports, and missing changes. Feels like we shot ourselves in the foot somewhere from the start

@iamhand Communication is important when working as a team with source control. Making sure to not working in the same scenes. Since Git has a hard time handling diff in those files, and work on small features or bugfixes etc. Also make sure to always have a clean and runnable main branch.

we replaced our heat pump last year and it's just a boring box that sits in our basement quietly whirring away.

somehow that magical machine is 430% effective.
for every one unit of power we put in, we got 4.3 out.

that's WILD.

@grapefrukt yeah it’s shiny white magic box doing magically stuff. Keeping us warm on winter and cold in the summer.

some idiot (me) was working from home the day before yesterday and forgot to push his commits.
so some idiot (me) had to do a gnarly merge when he got home last night to avoid having to deal with that even more in the future.
then, some idiot (me) forgot to push that again and now i have to deal with the same thing all over again today.

@grapefrukt we need a multiverse where multiple version of yourself can commit and merge. But then you need to merge yourself or the timeline…. this is getting out of hand now! 🤔

Today we check out the excellent new Little Camera Preview.

This add-on fills in one of the massive missing pieces of the #GodotEngine, a real-time camera preview in window.

This really should be built-in!

All posts can't be about computing! Because my life the last half a year has certainly not been about such devices.

Kira is now a 7 months old . But 5 months ago we drove a few hours south to pick her up. This little floof on the picture is from when she arrived at our home, 8 weeks old.

She's a and loves being outside this cold winter. Days like this with temperatures below -25c is just a joy for her.

seyn, to godot

I'm having issues with vscode (C#) and editor signals, when I connect any signal (example onbodyenter) the script doesn't generate any code, it's annoying to write down the function, I spent 40mins checking one collision and still couldn't make it right.
I really want to improve my C# and coding in Godot and I don't want to switch back to gdscript

@seyn could it be problem with the solution file in the project and vscode c# extension? Do you get the same issue with Visual Studio?

at this point i am more or less certain that the google play developer support people use some sort of AI to write their answers.

you'll get these long flowery replies that contain rehashed FAQ answers again and they will under no circumstances answer your actual question.

it's kind of impressive actually.

glaskows, (edited ) to unity
@glaskows@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

So, about ...

I've heard mostly negative comments on the situation, and I agree with all of them.

But for me the most important topic is TRUST. We saw how for the last years Unity has been wondering around making bad decisions in detriment to its core business (gamedev in case someone forgot).

Not knowing if tomorrow they will change yet again the pricing model is a big turn off for any serious company.

glindqvist,
@glindqvist@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Completely agree, @glaskows and @joeldevahl. Trust is the foundation of any healthy developer-platform relationship. It's disheartening to see Unity's recent decisions eroding that trust. As developers, we need stability and predictability to plan our projects and careers effectively. It's a challenging situation when you have to spend time reassuring your team and yourself about the future. Exploring alternatives now. #GameDev #TrustMatters
