@noMarsHere De Morgan is rolling in his grave! Please tell me you'll use if-then-else expressions and don't always rely on short-circuit evaluation

@cryptidsoftware Yeah you’re not alone on this choice LOL. It definitely would be the better choice especially against situations like this, but I don’t participate in such witchcraft ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I keep making the most stupidly simple mistakes in my code. See if you can spot this one. #RobloxDev

@Bond_Dev_ Yep! I still use them

Be Honest: Still abusing BindableEvents for everything in 2026? #Roblox #RobloxDev

Is there a community for plugin developers?

@UnrealEngine Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland

What's the game that helped you realize you wanted to make videogames?

Finally! DAU taking off

What kind of game or plugin do you think I'm making with this?

@MrChickenRocket Is the polygon editor something you made, or will I be reading about this in a DevForum announcement soon?

A polygon type is super useful! Here it is with the animated grass trick + procedural model from a couple weeks ago. #robloxdev

Trying Procedural Models for the first time. How'd I do?

@miniapeur Might as well call me an alt-blue three-brownian

True?

@juliaroseal I wasn't a fan of the term "experiences" when it was first introduced, but it grew on me quickly - "Games" just doesn't capture the extent of what you can create on Roblox. Honestly, I hope they don't revert the lingo.

no thanks i'll keep my experiences

This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet. Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world. After the world leader convos I get attacked intensely by all sides, and many disparate online communities. It has led to some really low points for me mentally. But I don't matter. I'm listening. I'll do better. And I'll try to find the strength to do more of them, always with rigor and backbone, seeking to truly understand. And despite accusations, I do extremely high amounts of research, sometimes 100+ hours for a conversation. Ask many of my previous guests. But when I come to the table, I put all that aside, and make it all about the other person. I don't ever try to sound smart. I know the vastness of my ignorance. But I'm trying. Sometimes I do fuck up and sound like a douche, or do something incredibly cringe. And I hate myself right after. But I'd rather fail and embarrass myself a million times, than not do what my heart says is right. And besides world leaders, historians, CEOs, engineers, etc, this year I want to travel the world and talk to a lot more everyday people on and off the mic. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Anyway this is written while on I'm on a 10 mile run, probably procrastinating, since to type I have to walk and not run 🤣 But I did just get stopped by a super smart and kind girl who works at a humanoid robotics company here. And she asked if she can give me a hug to thank me for being me. Sometimes the universe sends you a message that even a dumb dude like me can almost hear. I really needed that today. Thank you for the hug and the kindness 🙏 I'm just hoping she was real and I didn't just imagine that 🤣 Then again if I went full crazy might as well enjoy it! Back to the run. I love you all! ❤️

@asimo3089 @Roblox I actually don't mind experiences. In my opinion, it better describes the broad range of what you can create on Roblox - which is more than traditional "video games"

@Roblox Games next!!!

@benprototype Everytime I see an update on this project it reminds me about the ant farm I really wanted as a kid (well, maybe with less explosions). What sort of chunk size (is it square grid or columns) are you dealing with in terms of tris and/or studs size?

its a bit slow with this many explosions and chunk updates going on at once i'll try profiling it and speeding up the slow bits next. it might also be able to run chunk updates in parallel but i've not tried that before worst case i can just lower the voxel/render resolutions

@benprototype Looks great! You're using 3 EditableMesh per chunk? Isn't the client EditableMesh limit 8?

Rendering the destructible terrain with meshparts. I'm honestly surprised the engine allows this. Not being able to use a fragment shader makes texturing this so difficult. There's a few layers of dynamic meshes per chunk here to get the grass and mud layers to work.

@ProtonInspector 3 Roombas stacked on top of each other.

Wait what the hell is the right?

The mouse I use has extra buttons for changing DPI - I've never found a practical use for this feature and any time I accidentally change it I just hit random buttons until it goes back to what I'm used to.

Roundabouts are fun when the snowdrifts are so tall you can't see the cars you're supposed to yield to

@sleitnick A scavenger hunt is essentially just a linked list. For example, the clues leading to the immunity idol on "Survivor". If you think about it, "The Amazing Race" might be the 'largest' linked list ever created.

A shelf, but in the style of a linked list. Every item just has a piece of paper saying where the next item is in the house.

Very "fun" to consider the different connotations of the phrase "not always": mathematician: "never" normal person: "most of the time, but not every time" programmer: "false"
