As a committed single-monitor dude (multi-monitor is terrible for your neck/back) using a dedicated monitor just for work not gaming, the LG DualUp really calls to me. 16:9 sucks as an orientation for coding, & rotated portrait? Ridiculous. But 16:18? 👌 One big area for coding, or for UE / video editing put a 16:9 viewport at the top and all your controls below: great!

Bit expensive though 😬 That's going on my wishlist for when I can justify it. Thanks @djlink

Wie Liberalos und Parteilinke bei jedem Gewinn für offen rechte Parteien mit dem Finger zeigen sich aber jedes Mal konsequent weigern, über die Probleme der Leute, die zu Protestwählern werden, Klartext zu reden oder Lösungen zu bieten wird auch echt nicht unterhaltsamer.

Wir dürfen ja nicht polemisieren, das ist ja kontraproduktiv.

@phryk ich glaube das ist so ne sache wo du denkst "wie schwer kann das sein" bis du dich wählen lässt, im amt sitzt, dir die sache genau anschaust und realisiert: "oha. deswegen geht das also nicht. mist."

Remember when I told you to watch "One Cut of the Dead", and you loved it and thought it was one of the smartest movies ever made?

Well, now I'm telling you to watch "Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes". It's fast-paced, bonkers, and incredibly fun!

You'll not regret it. I promise!

Working on games is cool cause they're antithetical to clean code. I'm sure some people will argue but clean code relies on systems that obey a set of distinct rules. Those rules are almost always absolute

So you start your game with your clean rules. In context A you can do B but not C

But an unfortunate part of game design is that the most interesting powers you can give players are the ones that break the inherent rules of the system. So inevitably you'll wind up with a bunch of code that works around your baseline rules and that always turns into a goddamn mess

@eniko @Farbs on the other end of the spectrum are games that are practically QTE orgies

Did you know that "Linux" is a portmanteau of "Lina" and "Unix"? Linux is named for its creator, Asahi Lina.

A "compiled" language is an interpreted language for generating IR and error messages, and I think it's interesting that compiled languages mostly don't embrace this fact.

@aeva that sounds like a huge upfront commitment on your end.

@aeva harassing c++ programmers is blessed tho*

@rygorous @aeva sounds like something a c++ programmer would say

lritter,
@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@rygorous @aeva jokes aside, there's still the option of using a frontend that compiles to C(++). like, the c preprocessor is a good start, but it could go further ;)
