#DuoLingo #HobbyStreak 103

Rather than sit around all day and be miserable I went outside saw people and was un-miserable. I still ended up somewhat rushing this single solitary #40k or #aos objective marker for today's #miniPainting. I had planned on picking out a few parts with white and then using a colour express to make some details pop, but, I thought it looked so much better just like this that I decided to pick out a lot of details in white and just leave them like that.

So I'm kind of liking the red highlighting now and I'm surprised that I don't want to take a power drill to the skin tone I created. I think I need more practice with these things ...and that this one needs more work ...

really wish cmake wasn't the most common project build generator for c++

@djlink I've been using fips for myself but ... it's really just a wrapper around cmake using python for a bunch of other things along the way

I am suspicious of Dune3

I'm here for it ... buuttt the timing of it being greenlit sounds like it's been greenlit as a promotional thing. I'm not angry or anything.

curious about something. wanna see how big the community on mastodon is. are you a game developer? plz boost for reach

EDIT: i cannot prescribe that anyone is a gamedev or in what capacity. if you don't self identify as a gamedev, vote no, if you self identify as a professional gamedev even if you're doing it alongside a dayjob, pick the professional category. there are no wrong answers

paintgoblin,
@paintgoblin@warhammer.social avatar

@eniko I say professional as I am paid money that I then used to pay off my mortgage because I am programming video games for someone

I've been assured by <someone > that I am not "actually" a professional game developer because they don't go on consoles they go in hospitals

made a mastodon to bluesky crossposter in python that runs every 30 minutes, let's see if this thing works.

@flexghost some actor mentioned in an interview that after half an hour of working with Muppets they realised that they were addressing the Muppet as if it was a person. The interviewee had just switched over to treating the Muppet itself rather than the puppetier as the character as The entity they were interacting with. The interviewee could not recall when they consciously made this change.

When it turns out that the two most important classes you ever took were, in fact, Linear Algebra and Art (for design layout) #GameDev #UE5

@glassbottommeg IIRC; linear algebra MADE SENSE but educators insist on hiding it behind differentiation and Taylor polynomials that don't seem to be useful too me/us

bumped into this 3D GL renderer on Github, looks neat, maybe it can be of use to someone, so here's the link https://github.com/MorcilloSanz/RendererGL #gamedev

@djlink I feel like there's some joke I'm not quite getting ... or is it really just a lilOpenGL thing?

Something feels uncomfortable about being in office when there's a picket line outside. I suppose that since I'm a "manager" (with no MD team to manage) the strike isn't something I can do much about :'(

I really wish the Tories would just give up on this "slow death" privatisation thing and just fund the NHS instead of playing startup roulette and pointless billing systems.

Anyone else has “that” chunk of code or project from a few years back, in the back of their head, just taunting that it could be refactor/optimized? Like it’s not even a problem, but part of you just wants to fix it with what you know now, just me? Cool cool

@djlink when I worked on long running legacy projects ... yeesss

I had something called "the pump" that would check for transactions which hadn't made it from our website to our online game, and, wood resend them. Replacing the website was always a nightmare - and - after running this script a few times I realized there were about 30 or 40 transactions a day which would eventually pile up. Our business did in excess of 10 times that so ... hard to diagnose and fix

For those who don't know, there's a website called Game UI Database, where you can search existing games, and filter by type of menu, style, genre etc. This is a tremendous source of information and inspiration for designing UI. https://www.gameuidatabase.com/

@djlink hurr hur

I get all my uis from CodePen.io and use embedded Chrome

It's nice that walked back to terms that don't apply unless you use their latest engine, but that's the take-away: you need to not use their latest anymore. Finish your game. Find another engine. This is just an escape clause.

Anyone who sticks with them will get screwed the next time their c-suite wants to goose their stock price.

If you can find a way to keep making games on old Unity versions, that works too probably. But. You'll hit issues if you want to target consoles. There is no porting path for most (any?) Unity versions more than 2 years old at time of port.

EDIT: (but really even old versions, they already changed their minds once on that, so assuming they won't again is foolish- find a new engine after you finish out current projects)

paintgoblin,
@paintgoblin@warhammer.social avatar

@glassbottommeg don't forget that the engine version seem to magically disappear from download servers pretty often

Sauce; I came back to a new role with an old group, and, couldn't get the exact version of 5 leading to a lot of messages that may have been hiding actual problems

The first step in backing any should be working out what's going wrong with your and why you didn't finish the last collection ...

@roofuskit yeah could be. I haven't checked it in awhile but I didn't look for that last time. Thanks
