Everyone hates it when their opponent just leaves the game before it's over, so I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow a little bit. #fightinggame #gamemaker #indiedev

There was a time many moons ago where I could do this consistently as part of trying to master speed running. I didn't get much further than 1-2 mastery though and doubt I could do it anymore.

then he lands, and the feet nudge-right logic stops running bc he's not falling. and so his right-side pixel nudges him out *left* again. but if we've been sucked in enough that the head pixel can now bonk, we can generate more "falling" frames and get sucked in further:

As debugging Sandstack is nightmarish, I avoided the problem by improving how I debug in Godot, so now I can do this....

Seeing the heading to any news article of 'Trump says...' is like seeing any Reddit llm post starting with 'I built...' I know what follows is trash.

New Supergirl is great! Solid ~7 outa 10 says I; a fun and refreshing romp! Manosphere trolls need to check themselves if they think this deserves a 6.1 rating while Captain Marvel is still 6.7. Relative to that traversty this is a straight 9 😂

More optimisations, down to ~35MB compressed :D

Project cleanup today, got export size down from ~210mb compressed to ~65mb just due to how messy it had all gotten >.< Fine for Android, reasonable for a web export....ish.

I have some play store credit thanks to google rewards, any good games around the $5-$10 mark?

Linus Torvalds Reaffirms That Linux Is Not "Anti-AI" & Not A "Social Warrior" Project

Overnight Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote another well crafted message that reaffirms the Linux kernel position of not being against AI and lashing back against some kernel developers that are agai...

Team America 2 is long overdue.

I know taking breaks is good, but Jesus don't take breaks for over a year. SandStack's got some serious spaghetti hack code that I'm now spending more time trying to understand why I even did what I did than adding a feature I want :(

One of my smarter brainwaves that maybe everyone does. Godot Mobile performance is kinda meh (I mean it's mobile) where anything using full screen just tanks FPS. So don't use the full screen! My puzzle 3D scene only FILLS the middle, so grab the AABB, project pos's, and resize the 3D Viewport!

Do I....

Top or Bottom :D This Fancy Panels GodotEngine addon is ver nice :D

Left or Right

Oh legit! I need to play with this (and probably wonder why it's not core?)

There is a very cool #Godot addon that adds a StyleBoxFancy resource to make cool buttons and stuff!! It supports stacked outlines, various corner shapes, texture overlays and some other things!! github.com/MellowDye/St... #GameDev

Partners playing a lot of BoTW. Commandeered their little loading animation of divine beasts hopping along the bottom for SandStack to finish a night of less visual fixes. Community still placeholder, no idea how that's gonna look when finished.

I play a fair amount of chess, but always considered my ~1k elo to be meh. Then I played Age of Empires 2 ranked and my god... 1k elo players are bloody epic! I guess I forgot there's a beginner and there's a Beginner!

It's been such a long time since I've had the drive to just sit down and nut out some annoyances in Sand-stack that have been blockers for too long. Today was that day, got anonymous Supabase login working which unlocks the door to several other things that felt jank. :)

Let's say hypothetically you wanted to make a new game that had a fair amount of narrative, branching logic etc, any opensource tools about for drafting this up? Or is a crap ton of markdowns in obsidian the way :S

If turning off motion blur highlights how badly your game runs... Maybe don't use unreal engine?

Ooo I could have some fun with this in Godot. If your wondering it's just a local host UDP server reading a constant stream from mediapipe running in python. Standard webcam, little bit of lerps for smoothing.

I see there is discourse discoursing again 🙄

URGH, the cursed Red X. This gonna suck -.-

Just found a super jank old video i made to prove a point to someone, namely "If the Earth is curved, why don't planes need to adjust attitude to stay parallel to the ground?" Ignoring gravity/air and making the plane fly level, even ~100X faster than normal would need minor intervention at best

Oh, apparently Friday was the Stop Cyberbullying Day. I don't have a platitude to bestow upon y'all, but please remember that people harassing and heckling you online are the miserable ones. Pity them and their envy, their vile hearts. You have something they don't: you are loved and cherished.

What I don't get about people defending trad manosphere rhetoric is the idea that male behaviour isn't currently a problem. The data says otherwise, and has done for years.

If you go to McDonald's and tell them you want a burger, but with no seeds, swap the sauce and extra salt.... Does that make you think you're a Chef? Or just a consumer of a mildly customised burger. Consider this whenever you use a LLM/AI art.

Long weekend here in Aus, do I: - make a game for my watch - work on sand stack - actually try to make a YouTube vid again - end up playing stalker 2/vampire survivors and lose track of the whole weekend without realising it
