Searching the Unreal C++ docs is a horrible experience so far. I don't understand why there isn't a simple C++ filter dropdown for searches, or an option to only show C++ results?? Surely it's there and I'm just not understanding the site properly? Even if I choose Documentation/API docs from the list, I don't get C++ results. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I just want to search the C++ API without all the results from random forum posts or Blueprints etc.. is there a trick? 🤷‍♂️

screw making the beginning of your game last, make your bosses last so that you can use all the features of your game engine to make them as interesting as possible

Bad:
Computer overheating

Worse:
Computer repair dude said it would take a whole day, meaning I'd miss a day's work

Worst:
He finished early

We really don’t make enough of the fact that you don’t need JS to make a nice website. Just HTML and CSS

And, whatever most programmers say about them, HTML and CSS are absolutely much more accessible to learn than JS ever has been or will be

indie gamedev is spending 3-5 years working on a game with probably at least a couple other people and then you release it and if youre fairly lucky you gross like 20-80 thousand US dollars which works out to $5000 a person a year before tax. it's a very cool and sustainable industry

There should be WhatTheFont for screws. I take a picture of a weird tiny screw and then they mail me a package of them.

Can you help me find reference music to match this mockup? I'm looking for something that's both SEGA blue sky and grand adventure, probably in a style that evokes 8bit (eg melody on simple waveforms).

I'm about 5 hours in and still struggling.

Any suggestions?

Doing a bit of look-dev! I've always wanted to make something like this.

I finished Quake 2!

That's been on my todo list for about (checks watch) 26 years now.

It's pretty good.

I was surprised how refreshing I found it to just rumble through a corridor shooter.

Blast the nasties, collect the shinies, and boop the McGuffins until all the McGuffins are booped, then a quick interlude on the map screen to see my progress march ahead 15% before doing it all again.

Nice.

Hmm. So. Ages ago I followed a news journalist on here 'cos I thought following is encouraging, and like with Twitter if journalists post here then everyone else will follow and hooray we'll have de-privatized the world's town square.

So it seemed like a good thing.

But now they're posting enraging stuff that really isn't important and, uh, actually I don't think I want that in my feed. Probably nobody does.

So, do I mute or unfollow?

was a time where running the batch file that converts all the sprites for kitsune tails ran in a couple seconds

now it takes over a full minute

eniko, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to random

i sure hope nobody figures out that kitsune tails save files are just a proprietary binary version of json thats fairly human readable and so easy to reverse engineer and hacks them for their own purposes 🥺

I placed some activated alumina dessicant in with my spool of Carbon Fiber Nylon a few hours ago, and yeah so far it is working far better than silica gel. We'll see where things are by the end of the weekend. I might finally be able to print.

Not shown, after taking the first photo, I barely had the Polybox open for a minute, when it shot up to 30% humidity. I imagine that recovered quicker than the other 4%.

WTF is an "AI-capable chip". It's either Turing-Compatible or it's not. Everything else is just a question of performance.
