@glassbottommeg It's really cool: they have a tac switch inside the bathroom's deadbolt hole, so it's dim red lighting in there until you latch it. Then the lighting starts, music begins playing, and the sound of a man sighing plays when you flush.

It's elaborate.

I just found out about the SQlite code of ethics, and now I'm feeling bad about ever recommending that database to anyone. https://www.sqlite.org/codeofethics.html

EDIT: this is a gag, I know you don't have to follow this to use it, I just find it impossibly cringe (and not the bad-good kind of cringe) to find this sitting like a turd in the middle of my favorite solve for SQL DB problems.

@glassbottommeg At least we know that Windows 11's Recall feature fears God.

anyone have a link to a nice non-techy guide for people considering Linux dual booting in 2024?

@terry Actually, I just wrote a post giving a general high-level from my recent experiences.

Been trying to figure out how to phrase the next era of my / studio

If it's my partner and I making games, but she's a very silent artist partner and wants zero exposure, do I just roll the "single creator" angle?

It feels weird, but also a lot of single creator games sure have lots of contractors so shrug?

Like if I say "couple", EVERYONE gonna zero in on that. The angle they'll want is couple interviews. And, well. No.

@brody@peoplemaking.games avatar

@glassbottommeg I think there's a big difference between "don't expose to public visibility" and "remove credit" so I think it looks better to say something like "a team of two."

Jeez, this is Unreal Engine 5's 9-slicing implementation?? This is so awful, good god. I didn't think you could screw this up...

@brody@peoplemaking.games avatar

@glassbottommeg If I was on a long-term project on this, I absolutely would start writing my own, but nope, not worth it. Yikes.

@glassbottommeg @ben On top of this, there’s no good way of previewing how your image is being sliced and if your image will be sliced as expected depends on the Image Size and whether you’re using Box or Border draw mode.

Sorry, I know this is all just complaining. Like Megan, I’d point to Unity, but also Game Maker as good examples of 9-slice that’s usable and no-nonsense.

God this sucks so hard. What incredible studios to acquire and then shutter. :( :( :(

Folks, we need to form a human barrier around Double Fine. Protect them at all costs.

Just to update my pinned post, I'm Megan Fox and while you probably remember me from SkateBIRD, what I'm working on now is codename #BIRDahoy

(it's about bird pirates, and it's a lil spooky and they've got swords)

There's a mailing list at https://glassbottomgames.com if you wanna stay in the loop

How does something with no hands steal stuff? Easy, like this! #UnrealEngine, #IndieDev #GameDev

@glassbottommeg How did I miss that your game is gonna have the FULTON RECOVERY SYSTEM?!

Hrm. Another question for #Hugo (or #Jekyll really) users:

So you add a new News post. You go to upload. Uh. What files do you ACTUALLY upload?

In principle the answer is "well the new ones silly", but when your static site includes say, a Tag and a search system, how on earth do you know which changed and select only them?

Lately I just FTP up the whole folder, overwriting everything, and I feel like an idiot 😭 (or am I valid? maybe?)

@glassbottommeg Don't feel bad, I've also been doing exactly the same thing lol

I'm... sorry, are we meant to be impressed by this? This sounds like a couple of AI news casters yelling clumpy oatmeal at eachother.

@glassbottommeg God I really cannot wait until this hype wave dies off when nobody can deny this stuff just won't work in production.

Random #GameDev trick: increase your gravity to 3.5x real, but decrease gravity when you're holding the jump button down. Nothing fancier, literally just "jump button decreases gravity to 1x when held".

It's what Metroid Prime did. It WORKS. CHECK THIS OUUUUUTTTT.

(I detect the falling when reducing gravity state and put out lil glidey wings to contextualize it)

@glassbottommeg I accidentally came to this solution when trying to adjust jumpfeel a few months ago and was frustrated that I couldn't adjust ascent drag versus descent drag and realized...

...what if gravity scale was just different?

I've released the second episode of Coding History! This episode teaches the basics of 3D, and shows that anyone can build their own basic 3D engine armed only with simple concepts and a little bit of math: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxMYroGay8c

Please enjoy and consider boosting if you'd like to support an educational video series about old school 80s and 90s 3D 🙏

Due to API and documentation issues, I'm currently looking for an alternative for #lua .

What I'm looking for:

  • #opensource
  • lightweight, even at the cost of some complexity (I need an embedded scripting language, not to write whole applications with it)
  • integer support (I don't care if you can round floating points on the back end)
  • C or C++ ABI
  • no janky ways of interaction with the engine through command line, files, etc. instead of direct methods (yes, that's often what they recommend)

At the very worst I'll just fork Lua and port it to D while removing that godawful stack-like interaction method, but since I have a very limited free time, I would like to avoid that

brody,
@brody@peoplemaking.games avatar

@PixelPerfectEngine I'm not sure about the implementation details, but https://wren.io/ is a really nice scripting language that has C/C++ binds and runs super fast!

With #Obsidian 1.5 we will be deprecating the legacy editor, and continuing to invest in the new editor we launched two years ago. We're making way for exciting new features like table editing coming soon.

@obsidian I'm really, really looking forward to better table editing!
