Learning OpenGL and I forgot how finicky graphics programming can be. Forgot to stash my shader program ID and didn't even generate OGL errors when I tried to use it... that took a while to track down.

Broke down and subbed to crunchyroll because of Frieren and god there is so much good anime this season. Everyone who likes RomComs should be watching You and I are Polar Opposites, and if you just like great characters watch Journal with Witch.

@plumj_am @cmuratori That was my take as well, I use ~ that way all the time. Never realized it was so rare.

English

PlumJam@plumj_am·4 Oca

@cmuratori It’s a retarded take but I assume he meant it as an approximation i.e. that the code is roughly correct. Maybe it’s a less common usage of the tilde than I thought :]

New definition of ~ just dropped

Greg Brockman@gdb

rust is a perfect language for agents, given that if it compiles it's ~correct

I have to admit, Youtube's recap for me was surprisingly neat. At the end put me as something like working on the epic score for my own game. Though I spent more time watching videos about music construction with DAWs than I realized.

Wanted to shout out Godotfest's youtube channel, has a bunch (maybe all already not positive) of talks from the recent conference and the ones I've watched so far like Superpower, the Starfinder team's talk, and Jetbrains are all great material. @GodotFest" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@GodotFest

Oh neat, Owlcat worked with some other studios to list resources to help newbies start learning various parts of gamedev. love to see it. owlcat.games/learning

@TylerGlaiel I often wonder how often people making these excuses are rolling all the c++/fortran/rust/etc that does the real work in a lot of python libraries as being "python"

English

Tyler Glaiel@TylerGlaiel·22 Eyl

25 years of experience here python is slow

Santiago@svpino

Over the last 10 years, I’ve learned something: Every single person claiming that “Python is slow” tends to be a newcomer with no experience building software. They are usually dropouts of a bad JavaScript bootcamp. More importantly, if you think that Python isn’t a “production-capable” language, you are definitely too early in your career.

@themovercell My single most hated phrase in all developer conversations, it has turned into such a bad excuse. Taking even an hour to consider algo/data structure options based on use cases can do so much for performance without being micro optimizations.

English

The Mover Cell🇷🇺@themovercell·23 Eyl

@proxy_vector @ChShersh "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" <- this pure completely misinterpreted bs is the cause, it's supposed to be about microoptimisations but people showed it onto everything

“Developer time is more expensive than run time” Okay, let’s save 4 hours of dev time and waste millions of seconds of user time

So happy to see another Godot release, and the added screen reader support is a huge deal, especially for people who want to make apps instead of games with Godot. Glad to see the effort put in on this front.

Godot Engine@godotengine

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

@wmgamble @TheOtherFrost For me it has depended on the fight. Like Savage I 100% did it because of how important silk is due to the damned adds.

English

BehindTheKingdomGame@wmgamble·14 Eyl

@Westernwizard @TheOtherFrost Sure yeah just a nice option to have. Avoiding breaking the cocoon doesn’t really bug me because I spend/string my rosaries before digging in to a boss fight scenario, and it’s nice to have the freebie silk there.

English

Frost of Rivia@TheOtherFrost·13 Eyl

I think some of the complaints about long runbacks are because people can NOT help but kill every enemy they see It's more like Mario, you don't have to kill every turt and goomba

@wmgamble @TheOtherFrost Shouldn't need to farm silk you get a bunch from your corpse. Though if you bother killing enemies you can double dip but then you've avoiding breaking your corpse which is annoying

English

BehindTheKingdomGame@wmgamble·14 Eyl

@TheOtherFrost Yes. also they make you better, also you can farm silk for the battle at the end, also they are fun platforming and you’re playing a platformer, also also also

WesternWizard@Westernwizard·13 Eyl

@TheOtherFrost The issue I find is if you make a platforming mistake more aggressive enemies, especially flyers, make the rest of the run back hell

Fragrant Flower finally released outside South East Asia... but only the first two episodes. Even Witch Watch is only 3 weeks behind on the dubs so I was hoping more would get released on opening day :(

English

WesternWizard@Westernwizard·7 Eyl

I see Team Cherry still loves to do large areas where it is hard to find a bench or the map maker. Ugh this zone sucks, doubly so with the runback after.

WesternWizard@Westernwizard·7 Eyl

@Capt_Corvus @TheOtherFrost There's a downslash to unlock, though it has a delay that is weird to deal with.

@TheOtherFrost No. Pogos go up and down. The diagonal shit is trash.

Silksong. More like Pogo-song amirite?

Least spoilery way to describe it for anyone who's gotten far enough, it involves the area The Slab.

English

WesternWizard@Westernwizard·6 Eyl

God I really wish metroidvanias would stop doing a certain trope, it is ass every time they do it and Silksong doesn't make it any better and frankly made it worse than usual ugh.

English

WesternWizard@Westernwizard·5 Eyl

Early thoughts for me on Silksong after getting my second RB option... it is fine? Solid core, lots of little stuff that sort of bugs me (and some bigger things like I hate pogoing with the new down attack). Curious if my opinion changes as I get deeper in.
