Resigned to the fact that I will die before making everything on my ideas list

Working on VR and studying design I make games! Check them out: https://dungenrobot.com Everything I do is “woke” and left-leaning. Unapologetically.
there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)
i really think genai causes actual brain damage. probably faster than most ways you can on purpose give yourself brain damage. and if you hear this statement as literally as i mean it i think it sounds sorta conspiracy nut, but undeniably less conspiracy nut than the apparent sum of its parts
I agree with everything Zi is saying here. Absolutely gorgeous piece of software
I've said this before, but Godot just lets me get things done. It's lightweight, agile, and you can *really* customize the editor/workflow with your own scripts. Plus open source means you're not tied to a shitty corporation. You can take the code and leave.
The game idea -> overscope pipeline is real. All I wanted to do was make a silly social VR game. Now I’m making a decentralized networking library.
Figured I'd put this out there again! Under 1k follower creatives! Mostly gamedevs and artists, but a few music folks in there too! Still some space for more people, too! #starterpack #gamedev #art #creativity
It’s actually okay that the exit and on ramps are so short in LA, because you’ll never be going more than 35mph on the freeway anyway
I feel like this was a lesson they could’ve learned for far less time and money
Devolver wants to delist because indie publishing is not 'compatible' with public trading
Do you ever read a technical article where it goes “and this is why approach A is terrible and no one should use it” and you go gulp I use approach A
Every time I learn something new about Rust it makes me happy :) Shoutout static promotion
They’re gonna be paying people to take them off their hands in a few years
PlayStation VR2 is currently on sale for $300 direct from Sony in the United States, down from its regular $400 price:
correct they view words as a tool to be applied as necessary to achieve their end goal (power and money) and good faith does not register as a real concept to them, which is why you see them pivot in lockstep to the new party line and why they seem so confused by genuine showings of principle
More generally, there are no good-faith conservative arguments at all. Zero. None. They are never well-meaning but misguided, they are never bringing up legitimate concerns, they are never Just Asking Questions.
All our games are on sale on Steam right now! 🎒 A Monster's Exhibition -70% 🔥 Bonfire Peaks -70% 🧟 Spooky Express -30% ⬛ LOK Digital -35% And more! store.steampowered.com/developer/dr...
Trying to simplify state and connection protocol stuff for my networking library will still supporting quick handoffs between rooms. When it’s all done it’ll be great and so nice but at the moment it’s just something to trudge through.
The Penguin Festival team have not, do not, and will never use generative AI in any aspect of our work. We'll continue to tackle everything as creatives who care about the world outside of just making games. Thank you for your support so far. We hope to see you at the festival soon! 🎉🐧

Threw this into my SDF renderer. Makes for a more fun result. (also highly recommend their [article on signed distance functions](iquilezles.org/articles/dis...). Very helpful resource)
I made a video about the smooth-maximum function, I hope you like it! youtu.be/6Qb6QtC6QMs
This was not the case. The path is winding, rocky, and covered with shards of broken glass. No man can save me now, for I have forsaken my god and bent to the will of the RenderingDevice
Tomorrow I’m gonna dive back into rendering code. After chatting with some people about Vulkan and Godot’s RenderingDevice abstraction I *think* I’ve got a better path forward for my portals.
looks like update 1.2.0 of my icon pack for #godotengine @icons will contain a little over 100 additional icons! release planned sometime this week :)

Had a fun time at #AWE! Especially great to talk to fellow Godot devs and also the wonderful crew of people maintaining the engine and supporting devs through W4!

Shoutout to robbing yourself of the joy of creating something beautiful and outsourcing it to the “lies and bad ideas” machine
We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000
Enjoying Mina the Hollower so far. I don’t think I *love* the bone loss on death system (as others have mentioned). The idea that I need to bank more and more each time in order to actually “save” them kinda rubs me the wrong way.
