Resoldered my truck's AC unit and it's working. My brain keeps telling me I have 0% electrical skill so this is an impossible thing. It feels like fairies fixed it because I can't fathom that I did lol.
Showing off my truck. I still need to resolder the AC, but for today I'm happy with just the upgrade to 13" honda rims. I also took out the touch-screen and put in a 90's radio/cassette player. The interior got some shag upgrades too.
So... its finally happened. The game that I have been working on the past couple of years is finally live on Kickstarter. It's been a crazy journey to this point and appreciate everyone who has supported me on this. www.kickstarter.com/projects/how...

Post something random or you'll have an awful September
I think it might be kinda bad that the entire American game dev industry is built on a foundation of "fire the people who made it after shipping so you can tell shareholders that you're maximizing company value"
Wtf are people not doing bDoorOpen = true ? What am I missing here???

Halp. I'm working on my Suzuki Carry when the AC power just straight up pops loose. I was able to solder it into place temporarily for a bit, but it popped out again. Anyone know a good way to get a solid connection to whatever this is? Hard to get a good connection into this tiny spot.
This absolute unit of a groundhog is Steve. He has lived on the farm for a long time and at this point no one has the heart to get rid of him. He is huge.
Reminder that I’m available for video editing work. Services include capture, motion graphics and maybe my voice? Temporary or otherwise. Maybe I’ll get a decent microphone next time!

Internet, I need help. I just got a '97 Suzuki Carry DD51B and it's awesome. Problem: I completely disassembled and reassembled the dash, but have two 14mm nuts left and can't figure out where they went. Does anyone know where I can find a real parts schematic of the cab/dash.
We hit a fuckin tree The train hit a tree or a tree fell on the train, idk, but I'm stuck in a fuckin swamp.

I love what Godot is doing, but the fanboys gotta stop. My feed is simultaneously "Is Godot the next AAA killer?" And "Godot gets specular mapping in latest update" Y'all... Y'all c'mon.
Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · 4mo agoListen, I agree with the general statement of this post but this is fundamentally not how game engines work or should be compared. It's like comparing a car and a 16th century sword for the purposes of knitting of sweater. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
Unreal Engine 6 is announced just to remind you of how many half-finished features from UE4 are just laying in there rotting still.

I found a missing cat and reunited her with her owner. Poor old girl had half a tail and a missing eye. I am just riding that high now. Here is Seri:
Just said "dope!" real loud in a meeting........ gamedev has changed my vocabulary for the worse.
Guys I am so sorry I manifested this Yesterday morning I said to Kait "If someone does it... They should strip naked afterward so it's undeniably at least a little funny." And I wake up to this.
Local tow truck had blatant AI art so I took a picture. The truck's driver came out and said I had a good eye. I told him "towing" is misspelled. He said "it's a stylized 'G'" "No, I mean, towing has only one 'I'"

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames
How am I just now hearing the term "friendslop"? How have I become so out of the loop??
If you are a worker at Epic Games looking to form a union to fight against these layoffs, reach out to us.
