Not in Europe, wow. I just came back from a trip and you literally can go everywhere on public transport, including to the tiniest weirdest towns you can think of.

It’s a dream, and I wish we had something like that 😢

What a bunch of children crying out for attention.

I’m trying to make a game in this genre though I describe it as a base-building/simulation/survival game, other favourites include Oxygen Not Included, Timberborn, Factorio and Satisfactory.

Back on ye olde site I shared my Angels + Bobs run and it was a hell of a lot of fun! Have fun!! :D

Can you blame them? It’s such an uncomfortable truth!

(Of course pretending it doesn’t exist isn’t going to do a damn thing.)

I did it like three times, each time finding a new error… I gave up eventually :(

I did a pixel and I think I got it wrong D: and I don’t know why D: WHY is my pixel pink

Moral rights

The preserving of the integrity of the work allows the author to object to alteration, distortion, or mutilation of the work that is “prejudicial to the author’s honor or reputation”

i.e. under the new TOS Reddit can edit your post to say that you eat dead puppies

I’ve not seen this “waive moral rights or attribution” in any other site. It’s not in Twitter’s, it’s not in Facebook, I don’t think it’s even legal in a lot of jurisdictions (moral rights cannot easily be contracted away).

Good news! In a few decades these temperatures won’t be considered “extreme” anymore.

I loved Reddit, but after the API shenanigans and the doubling down I went sour… and then I read the latest TOS…

You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

i.e. whatever you post WE own forever and we never have to credit you. It’s so horrifyingly immoral.

It’s great for everyone with imposter syndrome! I used to fear I was too inexperienced, inept, unprofessional… but then this happened 😅

Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet amazing people.

I’m really curious how they’re doing it, too! I’m making a multithreaded simulation game and the parts that can’t multithread well are related to AI / character logic / tasks and errands / pathfinding, and anything to do with rendering.

I’m still waiting on the data export (30 days!?) and then I’m editing and deleting all my content.

I’d use to say “at least OpenGL is cross-platform” but both Microsoft and Apple prefer their alternatives (DirectX and Metal). :(

26 weeks paid + 26 weeks unpaid here in New Zealand. link

Why else would they make access to OpenAI/ChatGPT/etc so cheap? So others can build businesses on the tech that get locked in before they jack up the price.

We’ve seen this rodeo plenty of times now.

I’m more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is

public boolean function() {
 if (method()) {
   if (otherMethod()) {
       for (Object o : list()) {
               if (o.isAlive()) {
                               return false;
               }
       }
   }
 }
 return true;
}
