Oh No. I get the urge to distro hop again. Somehow Mageia is calling me once in a while and I have to answer the call. But first I have to finish my game jam.

I don't know what the deal with OpenD and Dlang is, but openD LDC made my game compile to WASM and Dlang LSC did not. So I'm an openD fan now.

I've build a C program that 100% mirrors the behaviour of Claudes C compiler. It's quite fast and it only took me 7 hours and 13k Dollars of VC money.

Shoutout to @kapendev.bsky.social and their Parin game framework. It's super fun to build games with it. 10/10 for a game jam. github.com/Kapendev/parin

"Not using AI is a luxury position" I got out of poverty developing my skills using a goddamn yellow pencil and whatever paper I could find, during every free moment I could carve out. For years. How much does that AI slop machine account cost? The computer? The wi-fi? Get fucked.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Where molttube? A place where only AI generated videos are posted and commented on by AI? I think we have not reached peak resource wastage yet. But we come closer every day.

My game made it to Round 2 of the GDKO 2026 Game Jam. Woohooo. Now I have to figure something out for this task. But I think I just try to think so far out of the box that it lands inside another, nicer box.

I'm currently setting up Forgejo on my private server with a single runner. At work we use GitLab Cloud. My server is a hot potato but, damn son, does it feel good to have a responsive web UI lol. GitLab Cloud feels super slow in comparison. Plus Forgejo can push mirror any repo you want. Love it

I've done my website update. I think it turned out great. I even learned about border-images in CSS. It was fun. And I think I've hit the spirit of an old RPG menu quite good. ecsodikas.eu

Did someone else recently had the problem that they couldn't connect to twitch via OBS? I couldn't start the stream so I disconnected my account and tried to reconnect it but now I get the same error when trying to connect my account to OBS. I'm now trying to stream via the stream key alone.

Who would have guessed that the AI bro who introduced Gas Town (more like ass clown lul) is also a crypto scammer? It's always the ones you most expect it from. Even If there are rare use cases (i don't see them) for code gen AI, there is so much shit going on that everyone hyping it is just cringe.

The problem seems to be Widevine DRM, which limits the quality if your hardware doesn't support their DRM. Lets see which chipsets they support... oh yeah they didn't bother to write it down. (this is genuinely what they list: www.widevine.com/supported-pl...)

I'm currently toying around with something like Phoenix LiveView, Laravel LiveWire or Ruby Hotwire for the Dlang Webframework vibe.d. In D people often use the letter d in their package names. So I went with lived. But now the question is, should I go with dead. Because that's lived and more Ds. Lol

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

I'm looking for ✨remote✨ work! I'm an award-winning unity developer with a speciality for programming and interface design, and I'd simply love to bring your game to reality! 🌱✨ you can play my current online work here: www.gamechangersurveys.com/survey/playg...

This mute list feature is pretty good. Finally the good stuff in my feed is not swept away by threads on how good vibe coding is. Sorry for repost, forgot the alt text

I don't use tailwind because I'm not a fan of utility classes but damn son

It should be illegal to force a login to unsubscribe from a newsletter.

I wanted to learn sky shaders in Godot so a friend told me to use ChatGPT to learn because I am always so anti AI. I tried it. I know think AI is even worse. What a fucking useless piece of software and waste of resources.

Happy new year everyone! Goals for this year: - Stream regulary - Do a lot of game jams - Learn low poly 3D modeling - Release at least one demo of game where 100% is handmade by me

It seems that the really talented Software Engineers out there do in fact not like AI.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

@whizzyluu.bsky.social and I just released our first real game jam submission whizzcraft.itch.io/rotating-mas... The title is "Rotating Masks in the Jungle Game" because it's a game where you rotate masks in the jungle. It's made with Godot and playable in the browsers if you want to try it.

Okay, hear me out. What if we make a website for royalty free sound effects for people participating in game jams. But with a twist. We actually don't blast out the ear drums of our users with 8671% volume without any volume slider in sight. Call me a mad lad, but this might work.

I just had an idea for a new style of MMORPG. It plays in an lovecraftian eldritch horror world (I don't know why there is no MMO with this setting). It's hardcore, so if you die you lose your character. You play as an investigator but you have metaprogression because your ancestors wrote

AI - Absolute Incompetence

Looks like people don't like it if you steal their stuff. Everyone who creates something artistic or original should jump the ship as fast as possible. This is in response to the new "feature" on X that let's you repost and mutilate images through AI at the same time.

Happy Holidays everyone! <3

Programming language nerds, I need your help. I'm looking for a functional game dev language in which I can churn out some very small games for jams. I'm looking for niche because I love niche languages. Bonus points if its a Lisp and can build for web for game jams. I'd love to do Common Lisp

I recently on a run with the stuff I'm switching to implementing useless AI garbo. Is there an AI free search engine? I switched to Waterfox now because they stand against GenAI and Mozilla backstabbed the whole community. But Quant is going all in on the slop train (Bonus points if it's EU tech)

I found out you you can buy incredible weeby stuff on the Steam market for points. I now have the most cringe anime waifu profile.

Related to this disaster of a move by @girlswhocode.bsky.social, is there an organization/non-profit focused on increasing the number of women in computer science that we could support instead?

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

Day 11 of #adventofcode showed me that dynamic programming is beautiful. I tried a lot of pruning and other complicated stuff before but turns out that 10 lines of dynamic programming solve part 1 and 2 in less than 0.0005 seconds. Now let's finish the last day.

Today was an #adventofcode day I couldn't solve on my own. I checked hints and saw something about Z3. I still couldn't solve it without a lot of hints but now I at least know about Z3 and what it does. I call this a win.

I really love sloppy solutions for #adventofcode but today is the first time I should be really ashamed of my solution. I've done the birb wyldest parsing in history of parsing. I have to shower now. lol

Why is there no Common Lisp game framework that can deploy to web? I want to take part in a Lisp game jam but also want to work with Common Lisp. And it's a PITA for others to test the game if it's not playable on itch.io directly. Especially in the lisp cosmos where build instructions are arcane.

Sam Altman declared 'code red' because Google is catching up. If they declared panic mode just now, I'm positive that the VC money is going to create great returns. All VC investors, please funnel all your money into this garbage hole. You'd do everyone a favor by going bankrupt. Thanks.

Can someone give me a tutorial for idiots on how to setup an IRC bouncer? I want to keep up with the #lispgames channel on libera chat but I am a bit of a dum dum. I tried ZNC but I can't connect to it because nobody explains me what nick, nickname, username and other wild variables are.

Imagine the AI bubble pops tomorrow. The economy would crash. People would lose their jobs. But people already lost their jobs because of AI slop. This means people are currently losing their job for a technology that is not sustainable just to be f'd up again when the economy realises that the

Am I the only one who can't use a computer without headphones on? They don't even need to play music or stuff. I just need something on my head otherwise it does feel wrong. Maybe I just need something to clamp my thinking meat. Lol

github.com/ocaml/ocaml/... That's the birb wyldest stuff I've read since the Google thread about Go where a dev mentioned that they never encountered a nullpointer exception in 25 years of coding.

Cloudflare outage is a reminder that a decentralized internet is probably not the worst thing we could have.

You need to be a genius to write programs in it. If I can do it most people can.

With Advent of Code coming up I've written a blog post about solving coding challenges with functional programming. Maybe someone reads it and recognizes that you dont need deep understanding of type theory or monads to get started with the cool stuff. Examples in OCaml. ecsodikas.eu/posts/functi...
