Good morning...

@grumpygamer Not the first time I've had to do that

Was thinking in giving Godot a try, I see that there are 2 versions, c#(mono) and gdscript. What should I go for, I know c# but unsure if I might be walking into a minefield if support is not on par with the built in scripting, or some things are not as ideal. Performance is not an issue for me at this point.

@djlink The latest stable branch (the 4.X series) does not have Web support for the .NET builds, but other than that both are feature parity. If you download the .NET builds, you can still use GDScript in the project. Most of the tutorials and content out there is for GDScript, but it isn't super hard to find the equivalent C# code from what I have seen.

Game Engine devs:

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE SEMVER I AM BEGGING YOU I DON'T WANT TO READ PATCH NOTES TO SEE YOU HID A BREAKING CHANGE!

Thank you.

@djlink Godot uses MAJOR.Minor.patch, but hides breaking changes. Unreal uses MAJOR.Minor but no patch.Unity is YEAR.version and doesn't care (yet to see what Unity 6 turns into). Web dev is mostly good about following Semver, and I really wish we would adopt it in the game dev world

Need to convince my boss I need more RAM. But how 🤔

@raptor85 I work at a very small company (less than 50 people), don't have to jump through too many hoops to get things done lol. Good advice for people in a more corpo setting though

Wanted to use the lite-youtube embed (https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed) on my site to make it even faster to load, but I couldn't get it to properly embed. Tried turning off uBO, waiting a couple minutes, still no dice. Maybe I'll have to scrub through @zachleat website to figure out how to get it to play nice in #11ty haha

Anyone down to give on my ? There are parts of it I think I should be reworking but I want to know if there is anything that is an instant turn off.

I get a lot of companies wanting me to put adverts up. My answer is always no.

I stopped replying but now they all just do this...

"I can see that you have read my previous emails"

Ah yes, that's exactly how to win me over isn't it.

@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@gamingonlinux I think you can install uBlock Origin on Thunderbird to keep that from happening lol

I want so badly to switch from Chromium (Brave) to Firefox but the way it handles too-many tabs is still, in 2023, so much worse than how Chrome-based browsers do it.

Chrome (and Brave) do absolutely everything they can to keep all your tabs on the screen, to the point of shrinking the tabs to near-uselessness if need be. Firefox gives up and gives you a stupid scrollbar for tabs almost immediately. Even if you change the minimum tab size, it just renders them in increasingly stupid ways.

devmcclu,
@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@rodhilton The scrolling tab list is much better imo. I like being able to see the tab names

devmcclu,
@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@rodhilton

If it works for you, it works for you. Not gonna convince you otherwise.

For me, the favicon and title give me all the info I need about my open tab at a glance so I don't have to Ctrl-tab or click on all of them because I don't tend to remember where I placed a certain tab. It made managing large amounts of tabs easier for me when I switched over. Extensions like Tab Trees or such could make it even more customizable, but I don't like the way it looks lol

Hello people from

This is a question about game streamers. Every year there are more and more streamers. My subjective opinion is that this only makes the video game market worse. Especially indie games.

⭐ Please write why you don't watch streamers and if you watch streamers, it is even more interesting - why, which ones? How old are you?

devmcclu,
@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@maxim I watch people as background noise sometimes. I don't tend to watch people playing single player games, and if I do it is mostly games with a lot of replay value.
Examples:

  • Speedrunners of old games I enjoyed.
  • People streaming FPS multiplayer games with their friends
  • People doing charity events or fun challenges

Hello programmers from #mastodon

I have a question for you.

⭐ What programming language do you use most of your life? Why exactly?

Most of my time I worked with almost the entire .Net stack, and in recent years it's Unity, so my language is C#
There were episodes in my life with mobile, many web stuff, java, c++, databases, etc.

@maxim I use Go and JavaScript/TypeScript for work. Occasionally C for lower level stuff and GDScript for an in house simulator.

Though I rather be using C# and C++. That tends to be what I go for in my personal projects with Unity and Unreal. Go is nice though, might try and make something fun with it.

@maxim I went to school for game dev and ended up being a full stack dev in an unrelated industry 😆

Update time!

📣 New feature: Favorites!

You can now:
✅ favorite a subreddit so it appears on top
✅ filter by favorites only
✅ import favorites from reddit subscriptions (via Settings)

As everything else in sub.rehab, favorites are stored in the browser.

Let us know what you think!

@subrehab
I didn't even get the chance to work on my implementation of Reddit imports, and yours is better than what I thought of! Thanks for the hard work!

devmcclu, to random
@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

New idea I probably won't get around to: get a CSV/text file of all the subreddits I subscribe to. Fork @subrehab or make a PR to allow people to upload that file, parse the subs in the list, and for all the subs that have another community list their them. For all the missing ones, that would be another list that someone could submit links to

devmcclu,
@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@subrehab if I ever get around to making a Proof of Concept, I'll definitely shoot it your way!

I'm interested to know what % of gamedev people started this path by learning everything on their own

Are you self-taught or did you study at an institution?

⭐️ please write the details in the comments

@devmcclu@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@maxim originally self taught, then went to school for Game Design :)
