I just learned of a person who completed Hades despite being blind and... HOW? They also commented on Beat Slayer being almost suitable for blind people. I am impressed and confused - and curious. Apparently it does not take too much to make games accessible for blind people so... maybe I should learn more about that.

Also, what the fuck is wrong with play time counting. Every other time I look at it, time actually went down. Come on Valve, you really got a sign error in there or what? I probably need something else to track my time. It was already annoying when playing offline was not counted correctly, but now it's just completely unreliable. Or the next big thing Valve puts out is an actual time machine.

I spent so much time debugging this syntax error. I feel so dumb now.

@Nifflas I stared at this for several minutes and didn't get it until I noticed you put the solution in the alt text... why is the bar character not underlined? How did that even get there? Oh wow.

    @maddy a) this reminded me of my PS2-style Gamepad with an 8-way d-pad. Thanks for that.
    b) How does the keyboard solve the 8-way problem?

    @maddy ah number of fingers! That makes sense, thanks.

    I wanted to make a grim joke on AI fake news and a made up third world war citing 99 Red Balloons (99 Luftballons) by Nena but figured out that the English version has a completely different message or maybe no message at all, I don't really get it. So, no joke for you. War is not funny anyways.

    @aeva hm, condensed like that, one might indeed look at them as if they told the same story with different insight. Looking at which language tells which version, it becomes almost weirdly poetic. hmmm

    Hey native speakers, for a sword, do you say handle or grip or something else?

    @ghosttie Thank you!

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie Thanks again! That confirms what another user said and what I thought of when hearing the term "hilt" - the handle of a chisel. Also, you are pointing in the correct direction - I am working on a cosplay and am therefore interested in an absurd amount of details. I am now going to look up how the hilt is constructed to decide if the thing I made is similar enough...

    What? Since when can you see how many boosts and favorites your and other peoples' toots had?

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @SirLich It was "advertised" to me as a feature that Mastodon does not do this. I use the default Mastodon web client, just with the multiple column layout, which still does not show the counts. I just noticed in the single toot view.

    I think the most kickass feature any IDE could have would be wizard that does "analyze code in these assemblies and change the IDE's code style settings to match it".

    For every style option, if there's not a 90% (customizable) consensus in the code, it should ask how to resolve every ambiguity.

    Then finally the wizard should ask me if I want to format the rest of the code with these rules and fix inconsistencies.

    Probably very hard to implement tho :)

    @Nifflas Isn't Rider just 10 bucks a month or do you count as organization? (Sorry if it is and 10 bucks are a lot for you right now.)

    A thing that I like about it and the other Jetbrains IDEs that wasn't mentioned in this thread yet (or I overlooked it) is that it also has a lot of context actions where it will highlight some code, suggest how to write it instead and at the same time allow you to re-configure the inspection, basically saying "no Rider, this is how I like it".

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @Nifflas Alright, I wish you good nerves and perseverance until your financial situation improves! Also, I understand the point to avoid subscription software. I got to use Rider for years as a student and like to work with it so much, I won't give the subscription fee a shrug. I guess Visual Studio is fine if you are used to it, it's not like Rider is way superior. :) Bonus for me is Linux support though which is just flawless with Rider.

    @raptor85 @Nifflas I just found this blog post, according to which Rider is already capable of auto-detecting coding style! Will try that out now. https://blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2020/11/19/auto-detect-code-format-rules-with-rider-2020-3/

    I'm kind of surprised that email never went deny-by-default

    Just assume that all email is spam unless specifically allowed

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie Fun fact: I recently ran into an issue with Spamhaus where they did not allow me to use the DNS server I use and rejected all my incoming mail. So my server suddenly was deny-by-default just that I did not know and not want it. (They had good reason to do so, they just communicated it badly and I could resolve it by just not using their lists).

    @Gina camera output as in video I guess? is that a thing that works well, using a DSLR as a streaming camera?

    I still find it amazing that I can even own a 10 TERRABYTE hard drive. It's just silly numbers my tiny human mind cannot comprehend. Still feels sort of science fiction to me to be able to have all that data on something less than room size!

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @psychicparrot42 Serious question: Was there ever a time where 10 TB of data could be stored in something the size of a room? I am aware that computers used to be huge and everything but I assumed that the absurd amounts of data we can a) produce and b) store today simply did not exist before storage became less than the size of a shoe box.

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @psychicparrot42 I had a hard drive with 600 MB in my first PC and that was already the 3.5" size we still use today, as was the PC. GB came shortly after, as did widely available end-user CD burning devices. I could not imagine what to store on those huge hard drives.

    Maybe there were huge amounts of data in science before, but everything I can think of was either analogue or only produced small files. Sharing data happened on floppy disks or CDs so no way to get to TB.

    One day, I should play Halo for the soundtrack alone. So good. I played Anno today with a friend and as usual, instead of the Anno OST, I listened to a playlist that largely consists of Hans Zimmer's and John Williams' works and assorted video game soundtracks, including Halo (and an orchestral medley of Pokémon lol).

    The reports that Toys 4 Bob is closing and tons of its extremely talented professionals are getting laid off happening immediately right after the news that Disney is pouring 1.5B into Fortnite is a perfect back-to-back representation of how disastrous and toxic the game industry is this year as of so far.

    The motto for the games industry this year should really be how money belongs to corporations, and developers are nothing more than an asset to be expended when no longer needed. 🫠

    @jorgegamedev Do you have a source for Toys for Bob closing?

    Programmers who set default hotkeys to key combinations that are always used by the same function but not to use that function should be fired. Also, every hotkey setup dialogue should have a "press hotkey and I'll show you what it does" option. Libreoffice does something when I press Ctrl+F which is not search and I have no idea what it is so how do I revert it?!

    @AngryAnt I'm having a hard time saying something positive about OS X, the operating system that changed the keyboard layout so that what makes an e-mail @ sign on Linux and Windows closes the windows on OS X, leading to the browser closing when I try to sign in to something. wtf

    Wait, why is stomach acid related to stress?

    If I'm about to be eaten by a lion, how does digesting my food faster help me?

    wildrikku,
    @wildrikku@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie does it become more? In a situation like "will get eaten by a lion soon", usually, digesting activities are reduced so you don't have to poop in the middle of a fight. But that knowledge is related to the nervous system of which I don't know for sure if it has control over the amount of acid produced.
