#programming #rustlang #rustlings Just finished the 3rd lesson of Rustlings (if statements), got to say, I really like how easy it is to set up this entire thing, and the error messages are extremely helpful! On to Primitive Types next!

⚠️ As said before, I am unable to use DMs as a result of local laws, I have tried to verify myself multiple times but it fails constantly.

#programming #rustlang Been trying to stay consistent with learning Rust via Rustlings but I've always struggled with routine, but I'm still committed to trying to learn the language, even if it doesn't work out for the best, it's always good to try and learn something new! Hopefully more tomorrow.

#question What is it with all of these Awakari bridge accounts spamming my feeds? I swear every single programming language feed has like 7 different bridged bots reposting Hacker News stuff. (Example: Rustlang / C++ feeds) I don't need to see the same post 28 times over smh

#programming #rustlang Today marks my first day of trying to learn Rust properly! I'm going to try and go through Rustlings and make some small side projects alongside it. (ie. Simple console chat app to learn how to make a networked application) Hopefully things go well!

#gamedev #programming #rustlang #question As someone who only really knows C++, Java & Lua (and not very well, mind you), I'd love some tips on how to learn Rust given my background. There's no way I can do idiomatic Rust from the start ofc, but I'd appreciate some advice for a beginner like me.

#gamedev #rustlang #question Been looking into Rust for my next project recently, but I have some concerns about Crates / Cargo due to the recent rise in supply-chain attacks. Bevy pulled in 500 dependencies last time, and it would take 1 of those being compromised for all hell to break loose.

We have an official new announcement from #StopKillingGames! See: www.reddit.com/r/StopKillin...

#gamedev #opinion Nintendo has become the Disney of gaming, they have a cult following that will defend them to their graves, and they are trying to choke the industry with their latest patents, they are immoral, despisable and are trying to monopolize the game dev industry. Shame on USPTO.

#gaming #gamedev #patentabuse This is disgusting, Nintendo is literally declaring war on gaming here. If any of these patents work in a court case, then we have failed as a society and as an industry. How is this not illegal? I'm never buying a Nintendo product again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M87...

#gamedev Might be being a bit crazy here, but I think a company should not be able to patent a game mechanic, let alone one as simple as summoning creatures to fight for you. (*cough* Nintendo)

It is disgusting how fast everyone has sold out nearly every creative skill/field for a hallucinatory mirage (Gen AI) just so they could make a quick buck and be lazier than ever. It is an affront to creativity itself and a sin against life in my eyes. It's a tool to steal and ripoff, nothing more.

youtu.be/jdVqyW7gV50?... This video by CircleToons is saying exactly what's wrong with the game development industry nowadays to be honest, why are we chasing hyperrealism and 100 million dollar+ projects? To appease 70 year old investors that just want more and more money?? It's stupid.

#gamedev #question Does anyone have any decent advice or pointers on how to architect larger / more complex game projects?? I find myself getting stuck at this part before I've even started since I almost immediately write myself into a literal labyrinth and end up giving up out of frustration.

To any new followers, please note that I am currently unable to view DMs due to Bluesky's new age verification rule that has taken place in some countries recently, I have tried to verify myself several times but it will not go through regardless of my attempts.

#gamedev Hey there! I'm currently known as MasterBro online, but I prefer to be called MB, I'm currently learning C++ & Pixel Art and I hope to begin being able to post some progress on my current project in the near future. If you have any tips and/or advice for a beginner dev, I'd love to hear!

#StopKillingGames #SKG #eu #gaming It is the last day before the initiative closes, if you are of legal age and in an eligible country to do so, please sign if you have not already. Every signature and voice counts in this fight against greed! eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#...

🧵 Decided to get a bit real here, I normally avoid talking about AI on my account because I hate it myself, but there is no denying that it has made the dev industry even worse to find a job in. When I started my own journey to learn game design and software development, I always thought ...

@support.bsky.team I am still unable to verify my age as the authentication provider (Kids Web Services) keeps rejecting my card constantly, I have tried other cards and the face option, nothing has worked.

Thanks, @bsky.app / Kids Web Services. I can't even use chats right now because the age verification service will not accept my card. Smh.

I've been posting a lot about Stop Killing Games recently, so it feels fitting to mention the recent attack on digital storefronts by payment processors such as Visa and MasterCard. Due to a recent protest, these processors are now getting any adult game delisted, and this could be abused easily.

Finally managed to P-rank Minos Prime in #ULTRAKILL, honestly, this game has become one of my favorites of all time, I love the chaotic gameplay so much, even if Minos killed me 34 times over the first time I got to P-1 xD Props to Hakita, New Blood and the entire Ultrakill dev team for the game.

#StopKillingGames #SKG #eu #gaming The EU Citizens Initiative has reached 97% of its overdrive goal! If anyone reading is in any of the eligible countries to do so, please don't forget to sign the initiative. Every real signature helps to act as a buffer against invalid / duplicated signatures!

#StopKillingGames #SKG #eu #gaming The initiative has gained 1,331,263 signatures as of writing this, if you are in any of the eligible countries to do so, please sign if you believe in consumers having the right to play the games they bought after the publishers abandon them, make yourself heard.

#StopKillingGames #SKG #eu #gaming Of course we have lobbying groups coming out against the SKG movement spreading falsehoods. Don't believe a word that Videogames Europe says. They're against consumers keeping access to their games. Every signature counts! Keep going! www.stopkillinggames.com

#StopKillingGames #SKG #eu #gaming Even after the ECI gets 1,000,000 signatures, there are going to be duplicated / invalid signatures on the petition, we need more as a buffer to ensure that this passes properly. If you are in an eligible country, sign if you have not already, we're so close.

#StopKillingGames #SKG #eu #gaming If you are in any of the eligible countries, sign the petition, make your voice heard. Publishers should not be able to stop us from playing what we bought when they choose. We have until the 31st to make our voices as consumers heard. www.stopkillinggames.com

Hytale was a legendary piece of work, I'm gutted to see it cancelled, but that's no excuse for anyone to be nasty towards the developers for it. Game development is a hard, grueling process and the industry is unforgiving. I wish the team the best of luck with everything they do in the future.

I've got no idea if I'll ever have a reason to use this app, might post some random stuff here from time to time, but hello, I guess. :)
