Migrating back to mastodon. Fun fact: Gamedev.place is the instance I originally joined back when I was first trying out mastodon ~2017. I had to make a new account so I could change my user-handle though. 👋

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

I feel crazy for thinking this -- but I'm starting to think that more of my files should occasionally be named with "subdomains" in mind.

In Godot, for instance, I've been doing the following naming scheme for a project:

res://some_asset.material.tres
res://some_other_asset.material.tres
res://character.rpgsheet.tres
res://some_asset.model.glb
res://scenes/base.monster.tscn
res://scenes/koopa.monster.tscn

Continued... #godot #gamedev

This might be unique problem to solve for Godot, but not entirely..

This solves some of the problems I've been having with naming in Godot where many different asset types might share the same format (.tres) but fundamentally explain different structures. By using a minor.major.extension format, I've been able to more quickly filter and browse files.

Anyone know a downside to this approach? My biggest concern is Windows complaining about extensions on occasion. (I'm on Linux.)

It doesn't even hurt me too much to delete my Twitter account as my follower count there was never that high to begin with. Related note: I'm really close to eclipsing that follow count on Mastodon anyway! (And, let's be real, a lot of the people who follow me on Twitter atm don't engage with my content anyway so...) #socialmedia #fediverse #meta

So I've decided that by next Friday I will completely delete my Twitter (X 🤣 ) account. This is due to the sudden (but we all saw it coming) decision to change the terms of service to allow AI training on all data posted on the platform. I choose to stay on platforms that give us data autonomy. #fediverse #socialmedia #meta

@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Obviously, if you're here, this doesn't affect you directly. But I want to let people know that if they think I un-followed them on other platforms, it's actually as simple as me deleting the account. :)

I'm frankly astonished with how easy it was to rebase my Kinoite (KDE Plasma) system to Silverblue (Gnome). The only issue I had was one icon not rendering properly! (Which seemed to resolve itself on reload.)

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Ok -- So perhaps I spoke too soon! Window decorations are currently a mess in certain applications running through flatpak. A fresh install doesn't cause this problem, so it's likely something to do with my configuration folders or flatpak permissions. #fedora #silverblue

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@bragefuglseth I had seen a few posts online about this and thought it sounded correct, as I understand there's a policy change. However, a different silverblue (fedora 38) machine doesn't seem to have this issue. 🤔 Maybe this is because it was on an older gnome version before?

Worth noting that I also seem to have some issues with the cursor though I'm sure that's just a gsettings issue.

I do really miss "local only" posting from misskey and firefish networks. I could imagine this feature would also be really useful for businesses that wish to host their own internal social network (with ability to control which users can or can't post on the global network for instance.)

This is Juno. She only got a little done today.

Too much time spent on social media.

Too fixated on a problem that causes her UI to lag behind 1 frame, but it appears only to do so for rotations.

Don't be like Juno.

@jupiter Nice workstation. I wouldn't dare take a picture of mine for comparison, but let's just say I'm jealous of seeing you have not a single stray usb cable or game controller sitting around!

eoinoneill, to Vivaldi
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I've been using #vivaldi browser lately on my work (windows) machine.

So far I'm pretty impressed with it. There's some interesting features such as configuring periodic reload, web panels, and workspaces -- many features I think help modernize the experience a bit and change my browser usage.

I'd try using it on Linux for a while but no flatpak is kind of a non-starter for me since I use an atomic OS (I could install in a docker container, but I think that flatpak support should be a thing.)

I feel this way despite the grand finals being a bit of an underwhelming mirror match. Still, it was a fun watch as always. 😎

"Dandori is the art of organizing your tasks strategically and working with maximum efficiency to execute your plans quickly."

Dandori is the perfect explanation for what Pikmin is truly all about! Glad more people seem to be meshing with the game than ever. It's fantastic series.

@SirTapTap What's nice about the "Dandori" explanation in Pikmin is that it gets to the essence of what all RTS games are about (making maximum use out of all units, playing as optimally as possible) and it feels like the new game is designed entirely around that definition. It's a clever game design philosophy and a very Nintendo approach to design.

I wasn't expecting more content after the credits. But I'm glad because it otherwise felt unexpected.

I like the way the most hyped feature of the new PS5 update is that you can now mute the beeping sound that it makes on boot. 🤔

I didn't realize there were so many people out there who disliked it. #gaming #playstation

@fullcleared Interesting that they'd get involved in the mechanical keyboard realm.

I've had mixed feelings on their controllers but otherwise they make the best 3rd party console controllers I've used up to now so... #gaming #keyboard

For other gaming folks out there that have used their game name elsewhere online (game forums, social media, etc.), uh, how's that affected you sharing it with people you meet offline that you want to play with?

It's made me kind of split on the matter tbh.

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@gmr_leon It's really hard to let people know what your gaming handle is. I think what makes it difficult is when you also have a "presence" in certain game communities that almost feels like a second identity to a degree.

At this point, most people I know IRL also know my gaming handle -- It's just a side effect of working in the games space.

damn girl are you an open source project? because there's a creepy guy yelling at me to rewrite you in rust

@aeva I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could you please rewrite this post in Rust? The syntax is much clearer.

I may or may not be referring to some company that wants to rebrand themselves as just "x".

Speaking of which, how hard do you think it is to trademark a single letter in the United States?

I would be willing to try #firefish (formerly #calckey) again at some point, but it was a deal breaker for me that the federation (or defederation, more like) status of servers are not publicly available.

For #ActivityPub to be understandable and for clients to trust server admins, these types of decisions should always be made public whenever they are made -- preferably with reasoning as well. Otherwise, users are left in the dark and won't understand why they can't see a profile / post.

@roobre The fact that windows cares about the executable name, above anything else, is simply bonkers.
