The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails: aftermath.site/steam-machine-...

*chugs through elbow-greasy asset creation* - I should automate this! - *spends a few hours on setup alone* - It's too complex, I should just do the thing - *starts drawing again, gets to the dull point* - Wait, I can actually semi-automate it! I'm in the midwit meme, but starting the second wave.

Dude really generated a video of Steve with a fake script, fake voice, and fake cover image, and posted it on r/GamersNexus expecting approval! “I just love how Steve explains technical things”, and proceeds to violate Steve. youtu.be/PxXbbyyB0LU

When people who have never designed human-oriented things start pretending to be some hidden genius level innovators — it's a giant neon sign that the technology they are hyping up is a useless fad.

"Oh, sorry, we didn't mean to overbook this flight! This is just an unsually busy season." "Oh sorry about stains in your room, we take cleanliness very seriously!" "Oh sorry, this was supposed to be a placeholder asset! We would never use genai in our actual art."

I don't remember how this has started, but some years ago we found a person on fiverr who would turn your photo into a cute frog drawing. One of my colleagues thought "what the hell" and ordered their services, and got this amazing profile pic for just a couple of bucks. You don't need genAI.

I regret to inform everyone that the smartest money people out there are, overwhelmingly, dumb as a rock www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

Finally got this update forced on me, and can Windows stop being useless? superuser.com/questions/19... A menu that nobody wants, that cannot be configured or hidden, that takes even more space, and that has prominence over user-defined icons and folders! This is an insane level of incompetence.

Absolutely have no idea what this even is. I just wanted to make something fun to click on (❁´◡`❁) Drew it in aseprite and coded it in godot.

So I gotta ask, F1 fans, does the correspondence between Lance Stroll’s mother and Maxwell read to you like she was prostituting her own daughter for Epstein (and thus his sister) as well? I’d link, but the post about it was taken down from the main F1 subreddit 🫠

Anyone else feel the drive to make games because you are simply mad at the state of the games industry and want to do something about it?

This was said without a hint of irony

I asked my friends if they'd noticed that only Pascal here was not edible: PascalCase, camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case And they reminded me that Blaise, at some point, was technically edible. Fair play!

Uncanny resemblance, right, Gados?

My favorite tool for discovering hidden editor API is signals. "Godot editor is made with Godot" yadda yadda, but what that means is that everything relies on the same building blocks. Every internal node is registered with ClassDB, its signals bound, their connected methods wrapped in Callables.

Tactical RPGs, DnD-based/-like, with co-op are rare gems. Divinity: OS 1 and 2 are one of the my favorite games, and I'm thankful for being able to experience them with a friend. Baldur's Gate 3 was also great, of course. So with Larian being callous as they are, I'm glad to discover Solasta!

Hire human artists. It’s THAT simple.

Everyone knows that in Godot, with editor debugger plugins, you can send arbitrary data between the running scene and editor (both ways!). With some illegal ninja moves, however, you can also simply set properties on remote objects! Probably useless, but it was nice to discover this hack.

Tangent: I was solving a variety sudoku that didn't flow very well, and started to think how I'd rate it. Then immediately thought how giving an honest rating would hurt the author due to the review economy. Which made me recall this post. Point: Review economy sucks, it's volume over quality.

Every time I see "woke" being used as a pejorative, I cannot believe some people would rather be asleep.

SEs who say "programming always sucked, thank god I have AI now" themselves suck, and are probably in this profession because salaries are extremely bloated. If you don't like the labor of your field, you're in the wrong field.

I am an overachiever.

LSP, and thus using external code editor, is so broken in 4.6... Also changing editor font or theme colors doesn't rebuild the theme, somehow :/

It is done. Check it out! youtu.be/WKtNIHdNUH8?...

Winter is that time of year when I just have to get up and go for a walk in the middle of a work day, otherwise it gets dark quickly and I feel like I'm turning into a duergar.

Majestic beasts looking for a place to belong in a foreign world.

A perpetual flotilla, bound and chained to float forever in its port.

Every state where the leader is seen as the ultimate power instead of the ultimate responsibility is fucked.

The fallacy of many professional software users is firm belief that everyone is (or should be) using said software exactly as they do. You can see it in their critique and suggestions. I’m the exact opposite, I’m convinced nobody is using the same tools like I am. And nobody should be!

Finding specific nodes in the Godot editor itself ranges from "oh my god, why wouldn't you just expose it" to "oh hell that's too easy". And where exactly do you fall on this range does not depend on how useful the node might be for plugin devs.

All popular language-learning apps feel like they are designed to help you find a local date on Tinder when you visit a particular country.

Godot still not having a built-in function to pretty-print arrays and dicts smh

This world can be beautiful... But often it is cruel, unfair, unfathomably brutal. During our 35-year-long relationship I haven't found any sure way to fight that. The only resistance I can come up with is to create something good, to make something beautiful, to be useful to people around me.

What the fuck. There were 11 shots fired, and the person was flat on the ground after the 2nd. I don't think even Russian police would just murder people as openly. Belarusian though did in 2020.

Responses here give me a warm fuzzy feeling, like entering a bar and everyone cheers for you, promising a good evening in a pleasant company

Finished TR-49 and put it on a shelf next to other all-timer deduction games! Give it a go just for the story. It's just 5 hours, there are no giant leaps in logic to frustrate you. You might need to vibe with 1337 speech at least a little, perhaps 😎

Inquisitive devs sometimes asked me, can we make the Godot editor do something before running the scene. And I always replied "You probably need to make a dedicated button for that, which does your thing and then runs the scene." Well, that's a big fat lie! My depravity knows no bounds...

Alpine really asked itself “Why are we announcing new F1 cars on a cruise ship?” and decided to answer that with “Well, because we’re environmentally conscious!” 🤔

When watching news it’s important to remember that WEF, just like modern CES a few weeks prior, is a platform for governments and corporations to suck each other off. They are not talking to regular folks. Person who receives a standing ovation still proudly announces billions of investments in AI.

TR-49 is fantastic! I'm immersed up to my gills.

It sucks big time that buying games like Hellblade, Indiana Jones, or Forza means supporting Microsoft, and I can't allow myself that.

If you’re not modding the Godot editor, you should!

One of the nicest conveniences in web devtools is having $0 properties for referencing selected HTML nodes in the console. Allows performing quick and dirty operations on nodes real fast! I decided to introduce a tiny grain of this convenience to my global inspector:

How about you fuckers don't misuse public FOSS issue trackers?

TR-49 is out! I picked the wrong time to finish Golden Idol 2 :O store.steampowered.com/app/3838370/...

By the show of hands, who's done that before? It just feels so intuitive to try and iterate a node, doesn't it? Shame it doesn't actually work 🙃

Hyperslice is out NOW on Steam and Itch 🎉 ⚡Fast paced arena roguelite 💨Push & slice EVERYTHING 💥Destroy enemies, survive hazards, buy upgrades, die and 🔁 💸 < 5$ at launch I hope you'll enjoy 🥰 s.team/a/2977820

Global addons still work in 4.6, nice! Will come in handy in a moment. Also, you can inspect GUI of other addons with the global inspector, naturally 😎

This new font is weird. I feel like there is extra spacing around the dash, which completely throws me off as I scan the file system with a glance. Super uncomfortable.

How can the Golden Idol games be so excellent? It's absolutely unfair! (Playing through DLCs for the second game.)
