I don't remember if I mentioned this but my newest video was done in p. much all FOSS except the Playdate SDK, everything else was just like Blender, Kdenlive, GIMP, etc I suppose I did write the script in deepdwn which is paid but there's not really much keeping me to a specific markdown tool

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

I'm getting back into rocketbytes development again. I've been wasting so much time doing dumb phone stuff, I want rid of this dumb rectangle. Hopefully gonna have some stuff to show soon, stuff has been kinda stagnant for a while. First tho, I'm gonna refactor a lot and make this project good

I love coding and have been doing so since I was 11, told it would be a great skill to have when I’m older, yet here I am feeling useless while my dad tells me how useless he thinks my computer engineering degree will be because vibe coding is supposed to replace me or whatever

I feel like the tech industry has a big superiority complex of some sort, like yeah, my tech is literally destroying the planet, but I’m the FUTURE and you’re not. My work is more important than yours, even if it’s literally killing people and human culture. You just don’t get it.

I said this as a joke but it's genuinely really getting to me. I love coding and making stuff, that's what I want to do but so many people would rather do self and world-destroying actions for "productivity"

man I love coding, it's a shame that the moment I become old enough to actually be a part of things the entire industry decided that coding is actually something inefficient people do and you should instead be burning down orphanages or whatever people are doing now

I've been thinking for a while about making a wiki that is for like free tutorials and learning resources for gamedev and other topics and things, before I explore this further does this exist already?

I already didn't plan on publishing or buying anything on EGS ever, but Tim Sweeny taking the time out of his day to personally harass game developers is kinda a red flag to me ngl

@unity.com and @epicgamesstore.bsky.social's recent push into AI is damaging to the creativity that empowers the games industry. We Indies rejects the notion that such tools and services have a place in the industry and our community at large. We hold a firm stance that AI has no place in games.

fun KDE Plasma glitch I've known about for a while: if you shake the cursor to make it big, stop, and start again before letting it shrink back down it gets even bigger

HL Alyx is really cool and it's super impressive they got it to work so well on frame (granted the rendering quality wavers depending on scene) but I feel so wrong shooting the zombies, in no small part due to the fact they sound like they're really sad

I know that's the point, they're zombies, but I'm also very much not the typical shooter demographic so it really gets to me Still gonna finish the game cause it's really cool but yeah lol

this song is too jolly, I wanted hopeful not joyous. What is this. I'm now out 2 songs for 1 planet and in 2 for another cause they fit so much better in another one lol (also this is for super #rocketbytes)

(family) steam frame came today, gotta say it's pretty cool and can play a lot of the games I wanna play like Alyx, Beat Saber, and Ancient Dungeon pretty well, but it will be much cooler in 6 months to 1 year when way more games are properly optimized for it

it can run Boneworks & Bonelab as well as Budget Cuts, but not at a smooth high framerate and I think that comes down to them just not being optimized for frame or even made for Linux at all, though some games like Cosmic Trip work well despite that

🪼 I wanted to optimize the small jellyfish visuals in my game, so I refactored them into a multimesh shader. #godotengine #gamedev #wildcosmos

I feel like I just remembered I'm a Blender user after forgetting for a bit, been trying to make a planet with craters and it just all came back to me after making many bad looking ones #rocketbytes #indiedev #gamedev

it's crazy how a company can make the world exploder 9000 and then confidently tell people "no the world exploder 9000 is completely safe and won't hurt anyone" while they all talk internally about how the world exploder 9000 is gonna kill everybody
