what do canadian men do during playoff hockey intermissions?

argue referee calls? trash each others teams?

let out-catting each other be the gold standard for masculinity in 2024 😂

To everyone who's using #COGITO (or wants to try it), I made a really quick tutorial on how to set up a bare bones scene from scratch!

@vga256 oh sweet. I hope they do get to hire the BC VFX teams again as well, would love to work in Season 2 (and have a contract again in general 😇😅)

I've spent a good majority of the day moving 750GB of files out of my Google Drive over to my @protonprivacy drive.

I've quit using Google Chrome(long long time ago).
I've quit using Gmail.
I've quit using Google Drive.
I've quit using Google Keep.

The one thing that is just too damn good to quit using that Google makes is Google Photos.

While there are replacements, there's nothing that comes even remotely close to being as good as Google Photos in my opinion. Literally NOTHING!

@cliffwade darn, not even ente.io? Have been eyeing that one.

@raptor85 @godotengine I'm not too serious about the whole triple A graphics thing. 😅
And agree with you: gameplay is king, the most game success stories from the last 10 years have proven this over and over.

But don't use "walking sim" as an insult either please. 😆😇

I've always felt prefab overriding is volatile and weird in Unity, for the decade I've used it, I never feel comfortable overriding fields in the scene 'cause they're easy to accidentally apply when changing a prefab, or accidentally override when I didn't mean to.

But, I've never been able to come up with a satisfying solution to this. To this very day, I never, ever, override a field in a prefab in a scene.

But sometimes I really need to. Anyone ever came up with a solution to this?

@philipdrobar@peoplemaking.games avatar

@Nifflas depending on your specific needs, ScriptableObjects might be a good use for this.

philipdrobar,
@philipdrobar@peoplemaking.games avatar

@Nifflas hard for me to say without knowing the specific use case is, but I'd create a generic gameObject, attach a custom component that loads / serializes ScriptableObject that's slot-able. That way I can manage the SOs and all GOs that use it get updated, but it's also easy to just create a one-off SO. And since the SOs all exist in the file browser, they're easy to keep track off instead of one-offs getting lost in the scenes.

Probably not perfect, but maybe still an improvement? 😇

Since it's taking me 4,000 years to finish going through the Godot 3 tutorials I bought, and I still haven't gotten to the Godot 4 tutorials I bought on Zenva, I picked up the GameDev.tv bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/learn-to-make-games-in-godot-4-gamedevtv-software

philipdrobar,
@philipdrobar@peoplemaking.games avatar

@Taffer I've found most Zenva tutorials lacking. Yeah you get a nice certificate but I felt each of them barely scraped the surface.

The GameDev.tv courses on the other hand are fantastic. While creating an actual project they do a great job teaching fundamentals and principles.

Holy crap Cinesync 5 is a resource pig. Tried to do a call with a vendor using it, and it took 80Gigs of RAM and most of my CPU. Couldn't get Zoom to work right with it, and had just finished a session with version 4 that worked perfectly as expected.

Anyone else using this nightmare?

@virtualbri I haven't had to deal with it in years, but I can't say I'm surprised.
Do you notice a different depending on what kind of media you add in the session? (mp4/h264 instead DNxHD or the likes)

So while I'm not active on it, I still have to check Twitter/X here and there because unfortunately most game dev relevant news is there.
But even just looking for those, there's so much other noise and awfulness being amplified that I could literally feel my blood pressure rising the longer I was on there.

I really wish more devs and industry people would make the switch over here.

Not participating on Twitter/X and also not using Discord feels like it excludes me from so many opportunities to network and reach people, and it really gets me down at times.

Following up my previous post, I also see this as a sign of how much more I enjoy my Mastodon experience.

Instead of a hype/hot-take machine with ads and bots, I have a feed full of people sharing their art, their lives, their interests. 💗

It feels like a truly social place.
And it provides all the tools to curate it to fit my needs as well.

@Craigp HAHAHA, it actually is Escaflowne. Episode 22. The romance is actually not vague at all, but the random weirdness all around makes it great.

@Craigp Oh really? Might need to look into it a bit more.
I thought it was just a classic 90s fantasy isekai with a typical love triangle.

In another tab, 5 new Skyrims are generated every minute.

Billions of quests, NPCs, worlds by no one for no one.

@loafbrr bleed to double check but there is away to get ProtonScatter snap to ground to work by switching on a debug setting on Terrain3D.
