Days like today I look at my food log and realize being a fruitarian wouldn't be half bad.

@pervognsen did you add any workout or purely food?

Finally got so fed up with Windows that I installed Arch on my laptop (without the help of archinstall so it was a good learning experience). Gotta say, KDE Plasma 6 has blown me away. A few annoying defaults I had to change (e.g. floating panels as a default) but such a great experience coming from Windows 11: https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/

@pervognsen did you have any problems with graphics drivers and GPU? what debugger do you use or rather what interface for gdb do you use?

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen this is amazing, I have the same laptop if I'm not mistaken, ROG Strix Scar 17

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen yep mine is the 2021 model as well, just need a good debugger interface on linux and I can probably switch too

Looking at the SDL 3.0 preview and hallelujah they added open/save file dialogs. There's a bunch of really good stuff slated.

@pervognsen @dotstdy (to be fair I edited the post to include "GPU" so its possible that is why you missed it) and no worries, would be interesting to see your take on this :)

@pervognsen do you like the general API approach?

Downside of Denmark: I'd forgotten all ISPs block scihub, libgen.is, etc. Stuff like this is just a subsidy for all the scammy VPN providers.

@pervognsen wtf that is just foul, isn't there some law against? very surprised that is happening in the EU

Sheesh, even Tango Gameworks?

I don't get Microsoft. They piss away more money on things that ultimately never see the light of day, but sure, let's close down a succesful studio.

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen @asmodai we talked about this with a colleague at work and the best guess I can think of is that it was added to game pass on day 1 so it didn't recoup its cost, idk how it sold but it was a quality game.

I don't know how to explain this feeling I have, for some reason it feels like during the PS2 era we had a lot more variety in terms of games compared to today. I'm wondering if this is purely nostalgia or just something that happened.

@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen in your experience what is the nicest way to do a platform abstraction over something like say "sockets", the two approaches I have been able to come up with which are very common is:
A) inside a struct have a pointer-to-handle and define that handle on the platform layer.
B) define the structs in a platform exclusive file and use your build system to select the correct file.

B avoids one allocation that might happen in A but I don't have the experience to see their full implication

Prince of Persia: Lost Crown on PC has a bug that I've literally never seen with any other PC game, where it constantly switches between detecting keyboard and controller as the current controller type (as indicated by button prompts) while using a PS4 controller. Nope, there's no keyboard key being accidentally held down or anything like that. Also not mouse related since it happens with it disconnected.

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen I haven't picked up the game but the demo was fun, how is it?

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen that actually make sense, is the demo still around? you should give it a try.
As for bugs on release, we saw so much of them in 2023 and past years, everyone has gotten jaded.

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen oh straight up doesn't work because of that controller bug? that is such a shame

TTF is a crazy format, but I'm very much enjoying writing the VM for it, hopefully If I make it good enough I can integrate it into stb_truetype, no more blurry text. Dear Imgui UI's should look a lot nicer if I get this done.

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen Interesting, I'm not sure tbh my best "guess" would be that people gave up "cross platform" libraries in C due to "maintenance" and different compiler inconsistency? not even sure I believe that fully but that is my best guess.

Sharlock93,
@Sharlock93@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@pervognsen oh yeah Dear Imgui already has freetype, this is my own stuff, mostly learning/how far I can take "everything from scratch" approach.

Thanks to @dotstdy for pointing out https://phanpy.social to me as a web client alternative to the official Mastodon client. Huge improvement. Be sure to go through the settings if you check it out.

@pervognsen @dotstdy am I missing something? I don't see a layout in the settings?

@pervognsen @dotstdy this is pretty dope! actual good UI

Phew, turns out I don't need to know where the interior is for the doors: just put them as if the player looks from the outside of the house! This also gives the player more control over door placement.

@lisyarus "better" I have no clue tbh it makes sense to me and/or how I would personally do it.

@pervognsen I'm hoping they keep the japanese voices, never played it under japanese. I played KH2 first and I fell in love with it, including the story tbh.
KH2's combat was one of the smoothest most fun I have ever had, can't wait to replay.
Do not miss the fucking ship missions.
