At some point, vibe coders are going to need to be reminded that efficient and effective are not the same thing.

Having to think about some of the "structs" (things like Vector3 and Transform3D) in Godot Dart, and how to hand them back and forth. For some of the math types, I want to implement them in Dart to prevent constant thunking between C++ and Dart. I made it so that the first time the struct needs […]

I was today years old when I realized Godot doesn't uses 4x4 matrices to store its 3d transforms.

Soent last night trying to figure out how to hold the data for the space station in my game. I want it made up of a set of rooms the user can place down. I initially thought to just store the rooms and set up bidirectional connections, but the risk of "desync", and detecting when two rooms join […]

I got my hair cut too short and now in the morning it has a mind of its own. #mundanemastodon

@Migueldeicaza are you still using Till financial? Do you still like it?

Weird productivity hack for myself - set up a bookmark to to the Lofi Girl live stream so I can get to it directly without getting distracted by other things I could watch on YouTube.

I like the reminders from Backblaze that are telling me essentially how long it's been since I booted into windows. Also reminds me I need to both find a good backup solution for linux and cancel backblaze....

RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@GameFromScratch/116041199822017315 You have my attention....

I long for the day of $5 lattes (local coffee shop is now almos $9 for a vanilla latte)

@Craigp I've submitted a proposal for you. If the Godot team agrees it's a good idea I'll probably work on it: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/14181

Datadog is looking for a macOS specialist! I feel like I might have a few followers that would be interested (though note this is in office Paris only) If you are inerested, even if you think you're a really good fit but not in Paris, let me know! […]

I do find it funny that AI Agents are the thing that will make software engineers write comprehensive documentation.

Holy Shit @TechConnectify for president.

The hardest problem in Computer Science is doing your job while your neighbors are being abucted by masked thugs and executed in the street

Kinda, sorta, making progress with a space game in Godot. I switched from 2D to 3D only because I have access to a lot of stock assets in 3D that look reasonable. The fun thing here is that the space station is partially dynamic. A data structure has […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Weeeeee Godot 's add node UI I think got stuck in an infinite loop and crashed my whole system! Now.... Who's at fault here? Godot? Fedora? KDE? Wayland? Interesting question.

I love my Aeropress, but today I kinda missed my standard American drip coffee machine, especially as I use my Aeropress to make Americanos anyway There's something nice about setting coffee up the night before, then coming down to fresh coffee. And not having the risk of a filter break […]

I gotta stop looking at tech news and, in some cases, social media at certain times, especially on days when I might have time and motivation to do development. All it takes is one article on how we're all going to lose our jobs to AI to eliminate any possible motivation. I think I saw three […]

Part of me is very sad Flutter doesn't support `dart:mirrors` / reflection. But then I have to deal with proguard rules and that makes me incredibly happy that Flutter doesn't support `dart:mirrors`.

I have once again reached the final boss in Nine Sols and I am once again pretty sure I will never be good enough to beat this game.

Sigh. For some reason when my wife sends me an email from my domain, to my domain, it's not going through. Frustration.

Norbert apparently also has Flutter working in Minecraft as well. Makes me want to revisit doing Flutter for Bevy, but too busy doing other things at the moment.

I'm am not the only one doing crazy shit with Dart! Dart as a modding language for Minecraft! https://github.com/Norbert515/redstone_dart/ #dartlang

Well that was fun. I've discovered why WASM Web tests hang on Mac in Flutter, but I have no idea how to fix it. #flutter

[Pol] Fuck all this shit. Seriously.

Jesus, now Linux thinks I'm a time traveler

Hrm, I am probably doing *something* wrong with my linux and mac builds of libdart and libgodot_dart . They're almost an order of magnitude larger than their windows equivalents.

This is a new one.... I screened a call and the person just said "Pineapple". Is there some kind of screen call jailbreak I don't know about?

Just had a game take out my whole computer. Man.... It's been a while....

Okay, have Dart downloading, running build_runner and compile (though potentially not correctly), now I have to rewrite the "hot_reload" function to actually do the proper thing.

So, in researching a "correct" way for Godot Dart to do hot reload, I have gone down a rabbit hole of how Flutter does it, and it's wild to me how it works when it seems like Dart supports hot reload intrinsically in the VM, but not if things are loaded from a .dill. This is probably because of […]

Mimic ornament

RE: https://mastodon.social/@rzr/115722488281088569 This looks like it could be an awesome talk. I really wish I could make it to Fosdem!

Holy shit I just switched the Godot editor to prefer wayland and it is SO MUCH BETTER.

Friends - I need ideas on what to cook for Christmas dinner. What you need to know: - Somewhere between 8-12 people - I enjoy cooking, and I'm not afraid to do something complicated - Gluten free, low carb would be preferred - Standing Rib Roast is out

FlutterCon / DroidCon 2026 is in Florida. But... I hate Florida....

Oh, hey I forgot I actually have a mac laptop sitting back here too...

If I wanted a new laptop, anyone have recommendations?

I almost never use my laptop at this point, as I've moved mostly onto my PC for most work. Another reason was because the keyboard on my laptop was being wonky, but I had a laptop that was *almost* the exact same, so I did laptop surgery and swapped the keyboards. Except now BOTH keyboards […]

Somehow, I became "the person" for letting one of my dogs out outside. My wife is home. She is downstairs. The dog came upstairs and whined at my office door until I came out to let her outside.

Well, updating to the NVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 43 only took me an hour, and required I exercise my terminal knowledge and look at multiple tutorials. Worst part? The correct answer came from a GOOGLE AI SNIPPET. I'm so upset now.

So I get to start The Lost Crown over again....

Well, this is shitty way to find out Ubisoft Connect's cloud save feature is MANUAL.

God I hate CMake.

Something I love about Swift is if let / guard let, and the fact that you can chain them together in multiple statements to check multiple conditions before proceeding. Dart kinda has something similar that you can hack together with pattern statements and.... well.... I kinda hate it....

Found that XWayland is still basically unusable with Mint + KDE5 Wayland, especially if you have to type stuff. Unfortunately both Discord is basically unusable, and Steam is only really usable to launch games.

🎶 And we haven't got real friends... ... and now even the fake ones have stopped calling 🎶 Oh JoCo, why must you be funny yet so accurate...

I still cannot get the screen tearing in Mint dealt with, despite trying multiple fixes. Is it time to try a different distro? Do I try KDE Plasma with Wayland over Cinnamon? I did try Arch and it is definitely not for me btw. I might be convinced to use a Fedora based distro but I do […]

There's a YouTube sketch to be made jokingly advertising "artisinal, hand crafted code, made the old fashioned way..." It would make me laugh / cry.
