pretty sure if you store your backups on the same service that houses your live data you don't actually have any backups https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/google-cloud-accidentally-nukes-customer-account-causes-two-weeks-of-downtime/

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

note that a reduction in reaction speed is probably not (solely) a function of aging because there's been studies that point out that after retirement age reaction speed actually increases*

seems way more likely that working age adults being more stressed, overworked, and ill rested reduces reaction speed to me. meanwhile retirees who have no job and functional UBI won't have nearly as many of those issues

*no i will not cite my sources on this since it was years ago i was looking into it, if you want to find the study i recommend you hit up a search engine (if any functional search engines remain in our AI-tainted present)

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

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

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

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"

if you're wondering how development is going i just spent an hour and a half trying to figure out why my cucumbers were invisible

Finished one of the two remaining milestones for feature completeness in Kitsune Tails today. Only one more to go, implementing the remaining boss encounters

sitting here wondering if i've ever actually fully completed any final fantasy game and uhh

... i dont think i've finished literally a single one despite having played 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, crisis core, tactics, and tactics advance

i've gotten to the end in 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 but something always happened that stopped me from beating the final boss. my save corrupted in 5, idk wtf happened in 6, i recall getting frustrated in 7 and 8, and in 10 i decided to get all the ultimate weapons and quit playing in disgust after finally beating the stupid chocobo race

weird thing to realize

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

I will be so fucking glad when May is over. Love how the games industry has just decided to cram everything important into June. Just all of them. All in June. Could've spread it out across the year but nope. Gotta have it all in June for no fucking reason

did you know coleslaw was apparently invented in the netherlands? who knew!

one thing i wanna do when kitsune tails is out and i can take some time off is replay final fantasy X but i can't decide if i wanna play the PS2 version or the PC version

little #mastodon protip: due to how posts federate there's no guarantee someone will see a link/video preview when they see your post, especially on small servers. this means that you'll probably want to add some kind of relevant description in the post where you're posting the link, like repeating the headline or quoting a relevant excerpt

im so glad i have a little robot guy who lives in my house and who i can tell to vacuum the floors because the way things are right now those floors would absolutely not get vacuumed at all otherwise

EDIT: the robot is called mittens, btw

its amazing how much like discord irc is in all the ways that matter:

• when you join there's some activity of people saying hi to you and you saying hi back

• and then you lurk and never say anything there ever again
