pandoc is so useful as a developer. i use it for all sorts of things like creating nicely formatted documentation from markdown files to integrating it into our script processing tool to easily output nicely formatted scripts for voice actors with their lines bolded

@unormal for kitsune tails i built a StringCache class which memoizes calls and sticks the result in dictionaries and if the dictionaries get too full it just clears em

simple and effective

@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@unormal or if you're feeling particularly frisky you could use my unmanaged memory arenas library https://github.com/Enichan/Arenas

but you'd still get an allocation if you convert them into C# strings so tbh memoization is more effective

Listening to a podcast that mentions the pandemic, in past tense natch, and how it changed their behaviour re: being more cognizant about hand washing and gross surfaces. And, y’know, they sound really earnest about what they think they learned. Truly, it seems like people learned about hand washing and face touching in 2020, then got their initial vax in 2021, flung off their cloth masks, and never gave another thought about Covid.

@elana @thatkatharine it would not surprise me in the least if like 85+ percent of people went back to not washing their hands now that covid is allegedly over* 🙃

*it is not

Some great impostor syndrome going on today trying to wrap my head around recursive shadowcasting, but finally getting somewhere

@britown fun fact: i do raycasted shadows/vision in midboss and at one point i emailed david brevik to ask how those were done in diablo 2. he then pointed out an optimization i'd never thought of: the fact you can cache the offsets for each ray to check ahead of time rather than doing a bresenham algorithm for each

meanwhile in midboss i basically just shoot a ray using bresenham from each and every tile within a certain visibility range to the player and if it gets blocked at any point that tile is obscured >_> works fine tbh

sometimes I need a nap after eating pasta for lunch, can you imagine me with post-exertional malaise? hell no, I'm wearing a respirator for the rest of my life

@elana yeah I can barely keep my life on the rails on a good day, imagine if all days were suddenly bad days. No thanks! I'd rather wear a mask!

How does one put videos on peertube? Where do you start?

EDIT: suggestions to "find an instance" would be more helpful by suggesting certain instances. The video I want to upload is an educational video about covid

do not enjoy having 1am to 2.30am work meetings =A=

that is to say the time, not the people involved or the meetings themselves

Damn you @eniko, your talk of FFV's job system yesterday made me install Midboss and it's really fun... I've got work to do.

eniko,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@oblomov @keydelk @tacitus no pun. Almost everything in MidBoss is smashable to make sure you never get stuck cause of the random level generator screwing up (even though it never does) and when I was working on smashing crates I was like "... what's in crates? 🤔" and the answer was fish!

And then it just kind of spiraled out of control and became kind of a meme and that's how the cratefish king was born

i wonder why other devs don't seem to localize to (brazilian) portuguese. the 2nd highest country for wishlists for kitsune tails is brazil (7% vs USA 40%), and historically we've had lots of sales from brazil. i get that the price per unit for that region is low but come on that's still a lot of fans you're leaving out in the cold by not localizing your game for them

eniko,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@breadbin localization tends to be very cheap so unless the game is a flop it'd earn the money back

i dont know why but i absolutely hate working on bosses. it makes my brain scream. up there with GUI work for least enjoyable gamedev activity for me

eniko,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@justafrog i mean mario bosses are not exactly the most memorable of boss fights in gaming

eniko,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@planettimmy thats certainly part of it for me >_>

eniko,
@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@planettimmy yeah no it'd get panned if it didn't have any

god i hate the words "asset flip"

10 years ago it very specifically meant using premade game engine assets, often whole example games, to slap something vaguely playable on steam to trick people into buying it and attract steam card hunters

now people call anything that reuses assets from a previous game an asset flip, or even use it for any art in a game they consider to look "generic"

its terrible i wish people would stop it

Implemented an entire boss fight today start to finish. Pretty pleased with that. Had two days budgeted for it

I feel like too many words are spent explaining why "AI" search is a terrible idea when we could just be like "Large language models can't do that hope that helps"
