I'm not sure gaming as we know it can survive if the hardware isn't available at an entry level price (ideally sub 500 dollars.) I think the console market doom is just the canary in the coal mine. #gaming #inflation

I feel exhausted this week, but I'm definitely down to do more steam controller messing. Now if only there were some kind of device I could strap to my face. 🤔 At least a price would be good enough.

RE: https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/116619418040595920 Awesome work for the digital art community, as I've come to expect from David. Please make sure to check out this guide if you're an artist transitioning into a linux-focused workflow and have an interest in KDE Neon.

In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web. While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to […]

Steam input is still one of the best ways to play a game with a novel input scheme. It's wild how long it's been this way, at least since the Wii U era Consoles manufacturers have forgotten how important it is to push for new ways of interacting with computer software. #consoles #gaming

Horrified to hear that NHS England is ignorantly closing their #OpenSource repositories "for security reasons". https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/05/nhs-goes-to-war-against-open-source/ #ukpol

To witness these former MAGA people grovelling to the madman in office or finally calling out Trump's irrational behavior *now* after having spent the last 8 years casting any sane dissenter as sufferers of "Trump Derrangement Syndrome." Bleh 🤢. #politics #uspol

happy trans day of visibility :trans_heart: #tdov

Github with the power play of telling people that they have the right to read our private code unless disable their new buried AI setting really tells you just how worried they are about protecting your private data. #programming

Finished Gundam The Origin 👍 Honestly, the last 10 years or so of Gundam have been pretty great in terms of return to form. The Origin really does capture that feeling that the original show had and the direction was phenomenal. #anime #gundam

Gundam The Origin is pretty cool. But when you get to that scene where there's suddenly some other dude whose name is Char Aznable... 🤨 I thought it was a metaphor at first.

I had heard how much better the search results were from Kagi. And yet, I'm still surprised. Trying to Google useful comic development articles was a pain with the amount of AI slop articles, but found some really good resources almost immediately with Kagi that reminded me of the early days.

The worst thing about inks is completely undershooting the drying time and getting it on your hands (and, worst case, parts of the paper.) *sigh* #rookieMistakes #ink #comic

People over here talking about "third spaces" and how they're dead and I'm just like: "Wait, people have a second space?" (Work from home problems)

I was curious about the @pixelfed "login with mastodon" feature but was presented with this server block. I wonder why pixelfed.social blocked mastodon.gamedev.place? 🤔 Anyway, I was hoping that would work before I re-uploaded everything to my […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Found the culprit for my ink bleed in the Lamy Extra Fine, but raises more questions than answers for me... #ink #watercolor

Portland frog protestor Seth Todd has been arrested: https://www.wweek.com/news/city/2026/01/09/portland-frog-seth-todd-arrested-at-south-waterfront-protest/ Asked for a comment about why they were at ICE last night, Todd responded: “It’s not up to the oppressors and their lap dog enforcers to […]

Hey #b3d #blender folks in the UK! We're looking for a senior animator to work with us for 6 months. It's a hybrid position, coming to the office at least 1 day a week. Come work with me! https://www.mediamolecule.com/jobs/senior-animator-6-month-contract/5751525004 #animation #gamedev #jobs #uk

Went to see Lupin the IIIrd: The Immortal Bloodline in theaters today. If you're a Lupin fan already, and you've seen Koike's previous films, I think it's worth seeing in theaters as it's the conclusion to the series. So go in support if you fit in that camp. Having said that, there are things […]

Happy New Year #fediverse ! It's been a wild year and a emotional roller coaster, but the fediverse is still holding strong and here's looking to 2026!

Any advice for storing raw renders from blender without wasting a lot of space? I'd love to store raw frames in a folder for use in other applications (video editors, ffmpeg, etc) but balk as the file usage of these folders goes up and up. Any tricks here from people who do a lot of blender […]

There's been some talk about IPC standards and whatnot lately. One of the things I don't get, as a person who doesn't deal with Linux IPC directly as much, is why the focus isn't on improving the d-bus documentation? Would any new standard be an improvement if it was equally undocumented? This […]

*Ahem* Steam year review shows I'm all in on linux now. Nice to have a statistic on this, and also interesting to see how desktop vs deck balances out. (My steam deck is running bazzite, so also interesting it detects that so must look at the hardware itself.) #steam #gaming #linux

I occasionally see people mention servo when talking about web browsers. What's the deal with servo since mozilla abandoned it? Last I looked on flatpak repos, it doesn't seem like any of the browsers there are powered by a servo backend. Would like to try it sometime, I'm still using floorp […]

GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol

でびくぼ #森久保乃々

Hmm... Irked by gitea instructions not having any advice for rootless (via podman) configuration for gitea's complimenting `act_runner` instance for local CI/CD. Would really like to isolate this stuff to user space if possible. #podman #fedora

Anyone else experience windows 11 issues where the start menu just stays empty and there's a build date printed out on the upper right? (Mine was dated for November 23, 2025 fwiw.) #windows #weirdness

Tonight I worked on the fire place. Sadly, I have no dynamic light sources, so for now, this needs to suffice. There is an overwhelming amount of stuff to model and insert left 🥵 I hope I can keep it up 🤞 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #raylib #cozygame #puzzlegame

Welp, might need to move from Gmail now. Any recommendations that aren't ProtonMail? (Not going to give ProtonMail money due to their affiliation with the Trump Admin.) #email #technology

RE: https://fluffytail.gay/@Hourlymarcille/115572710565364289 How it feels to "witness" the tech landscape of 2025. --- vvvvv ----

So Valve finally announced the Steam Frame. After so much hype online and speculation, people are grappling with what it is vs their expectations. All which leads me to the question: If you are a VR-head, what do you think are the killer features of […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

RE: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115526751946121927 It's extremely important for the fediverse that browsing applications: - Make instance selection, browsing and logging in as a first-class experience - Try to explain how the fediverse works as part of the user roll-in […]

Anybody know a good way *automated* way to take a bunch of audio files with semicolon delimiters and properly splitting the tags in a way that's compatible with picard / jellyfin? #linux #music #DataHoard

Anybody know a good way of planning an upgrade of a CPU + GPU combo for a single APU system? I genuinely find it hard to compare a APU with shared memory to a CPU GPU combo, and many sites don't seem well designed to support this type of comparison. #technology #hardware #graphics

Deeply disappointed by Fedora's new AI policies that allows AI contributions. It is impossible to argue *who* owns any snippet of AI generated code. Is code that is generated by OpenAI is owned by OpenAI? The person who sniped it from their chatlog? This is ignoring that the AI industry itself […]

Today, October 21, 2025, there is a rally in San Francisco in support of @internetarchive. Tomorrow, the Internet Archive is having a party to celebrate 1 trillion webpages archived.

You know what stayed up when AWS went down? The fediverse*. 😇 (Ok, I'm sure some parts of the fediverse did go down)

I only just recently learned of the Gemini protocol (not the AI, a different web protocol) and I'm both amazed but a little bit shocked. #geminispace

Cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war! - @nora Spotted in Portland

Make sure to show up to your local #nokings protest. They act tough, they aim to silence, but they're ultimately powerless if we show up in numbers never seen before in the #usa We must show the world that we're not complacent with regards to the systematic takeover of corrupt oligarchs and […]

Don't you just love when windows decides to update your drivers for you, breaking your existing driver install? Blegh...

I've migrated over to Cosmic DE today, with the release of the Beta. So far so good! With this, I have a new immutable image based on BlueBuild that is cosmic-first. I haven't tried anything complex yet like tablets, but hopefully it goes well. #cosmic

I think I see the Mayor (pictured here) and the Governor in the back of the crowd. #portland #pdx

Finished Echoes of Wisdom tonight. I standby that the game might be a bit underrated. But by the end, I think it could have done a lot more with Zelda's powers and that the idea could be revisited with some stronger design. #zelda #echoesofwisdom #nintendo

I think it's crazy to say this about a Nintendo game. But TLOZ:Echoes of Wisdom might be an underrated game. I think the game is much better than I was expecting since it seemed to come out to short-lived praise last year. Pleasantly surprised. #nintendo #zelda

Hmm... I can't get Win11 installer working in QEMU/KVM setup but Win10 does. For some reason the windows 11 installer looks at the processor and immediately crashes with the error code `UNSUPPORTED PROCESSOR`. This is even after ensuring TPM is enabled and on my hardware. Interesting […]
