More pokey pokes today … hopefully the last lab tests and vaccines before I get to start on my immunotherapy.

2 week countdown let’s go!

I keep getting these emails from people wanting to connect me with "streamers" and "influencers"

And I'm sorry, but I just don't care. Those emails go right into the spambox.

@ChrisWere The fact that when I went to check it out, this was the top post on the feed made it precisely what I was expecting :dogin:

Seemingly, people still need to see proof.

Can everyone drop their 3D Godot games in the replies please? 🎤⬇️

@godotengine 3D games?
Here's one example:

New up, and this one is for everyone, backers or not.

It shows off an area coming in the next patch, the flight deck.

@plusmid @godotengine I mean, I've been doing that for over a year...

Heck, I even had a twitch livestream where I created a ton of materials and complex models in blender and imported them into Godot.
Pity only like 2 people watched :D

I always see people complaining about triple A titles - the content, the price, the spyware-laden DRM, the micro transactions. What I don't see is very many people hyping the small studio games, the solo devs, the games that sit under $10 and have no DRM or micro transactions at all. There's literally thousands of them released every year.

So maybe take that big complaint energy and put it towards encouraging the kind of things you want to see.

TFW you spend all morning learning how to stream levels in to avoid the loading screen between levels and then go check to see how long it takes...

@vpermar An electronics store?
With actual electronics on shelves and things you could see in person, not just a tiny section of a walmart?
What next, a music store where you can buy actual CDs and listen to them to see if you like them?

Every time some YouTouber starts with "People keep asking me how gaming on Linux is" I kinda assumed they are talking out of their asses. You know.. for the show. I mean who would ask that without having touched Linux Gaming before already??

Now though.. I notice people DO indeed start asking ME all of the sudden how gaming on Linux is. There seems to be a newfound interest in this. My understanding is that Microsoft made something worse. Again. 😅

Longplay_Games,
@Longplay_Games@mstdn.games avatar

@bekopharm I've rarely been asked, I find that I'm frequently told that gaming is hard on Linux by people who've never used Linux in their life.

They're not polite or intelligent enough to do something like ask.

Serious question - are there any people out here using USD? What do you use it for?

So many folks pushing the universal scene description standard but I can't think of even a single use for it.

glTF 2.0 seems a much better standard to me - it's what I've moved to exclusively.
(I know they're for different use cases - but USD as "an entire scene" is better handled by your engine's native map/level format)

Longplay_Games,
@Longplay_Games@mstdn.games avatar

@sirjofri Obviously Disney/Pixar for sure, but I'm curious if any actual game devs use it.
It seems far more specifically for non-realtime use.

Longplay_Games,
@Longplay_Games@mstdn.games avatar

@sirjofri Hah, true, I wonder what they are using.
I assume most of those folks are either using ancient engines like Bethesda or use some variant of UE

Blow me, kobo have announced colour e-readers, finally.

BUT! I tried one from a different company earlier this year and it sucked. So I’m not sure how this will be different.

BUT! I love kobo and their devices are amazing so maybe this will be different.

Longplay_Games,

@Sobtanian @britt I have always been a Kobo person since the Aura H2O became the first 'waterproof' reader.
The screen was so sharp, so clear, and it was so easy to just pop in my 5k ebooks and magazines on a microSD, that it was a no brainer.

I've since been using a 10" android more just because I have to do so much PDF work anymore.

@jbloggs777 @Tiuku I found the best trick is to use a mouse that lets you click a button to switch on the fly. Logitech and Corsair for example

8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 8 hours free time, weekends off.

I feel that too few people appreciate how many fought and how many were murdered by the rich before the schedule we take for granted was finally won.

Google really hit 5/5 for me today. Demanded I install the stupid Sony headphone app. I installed it, it couldn't connect to Internet, so it wouldn't start, just the eula lock out screen.
Verified it had network permissions.
Uninstalled, went to rate, can't review/rate.

How the heck do we only have these two crappy mobile options anymore?

"What is happening at Boeing is happening in every industry. A general trend toward financialisation & hedge fund culture that sees only numbers, not peoples lives or wellbeing. It's just that aviation has a way of making the corruption impossible to hide. It's the dead canary." - Ben King

@ned I'm sure someone will come along soon with some "seif regulating market" bs, so before that happens: I think if a govt has to bail a company out, that is clearly a company that has become nationalized and needs to be operated as a public interest.

Otherwise, let them fail like Pan Am and so many others.

An annoying thing, that I suspect is ADHD, is I come to want to export the art for a game, to build it in Godot and find that just about every single thing is half - finished. Its all started, all potentially looks great, but none of it is 'game ready', clearly each thing is a case of "I'll do that properly later!". Well... Later is coming calling 😄

There's so many awesome uses I've seen this week for various forms of AI, and the only one that is ethically and morally wrong is producing art with it.

Don't do it. Believe me, there's no future to it - companies have already decided that you're disposable. AI art lets them decide you worse than disposable... you're an inconvenience.

I started reading a book on "cult" cinema written by people who worked for TCM Underground and it is just making me sad.

So much is out of print, not on streaming, and barely or not at all available through illicit means.

And these are films that people are writing Books about. What hope does a film that didn't catch the attention of a critic have? (Often, the answer is none!)
