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.)

Mastodon, easily Mastodon. I love it!

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.

Yeah it’s been enabled on the crypto reddits for a while… as a result the subs overwhelmingly changed to “vaguely interesting and/or attention-grabbing but ultimately useless with a race to see who’s first” posts, signal-to-noise ratio got way worse.

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

This is fantastic, thank you so much for sharing!

I’m looking for a base building game community! Since I’m creating a base building game it feels slightly unethical to create it…

Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet amazing people.

must have been that bean

Yeah in the future I’ve already decided I want to try creating IntBuffers and stuff on threads but I’ll need to do a lot of testing to make sure it’s actually faster across a wide range of hardware 😀

I wrote a little blog post about my latest work if you’re curious!

By “rendering” I mean when you interact with OpenGL, the GPU, etc - at least in my engine (lwjgl/libgdx), it’s expected to be on the main thread. From what I understand too when you get into GPU land everything is already kinda-asynchronous on the driver side - it’s only when you call flush() that it actually blocks your thread - which makes it difficult to profile some things.

But I am still a newb at all of this! I’d love to hear your experiences!!
