Relative to a normal life, nobody knows me now… and with where and how I live that likely won’t change.

So definitely not, aside from the unlikely event I could get my head preserved (likely questionable testing). Then again I know in all likelihood that wouldn’t work, so I’m not sure getting a mention in some niche Wikipedia article would be the same as being remembered.

I doubt a system with a 1050 has the power supply for that

Remember that was an outlier for the build. PSU is 650w silver. Though it’s currently nice to not need a GPU power cable.

I’m mostly happy with 1050Ti performance level for what I do. Probably will just stick with it unless I could get used AMD (for better time on Linux), like an 8GiB Polaris card for a moderate uplift. Probably not considering I don’t know anyone and don’t feel like buying used online.

your 2019 hardware should support rebar

Arc seems to take issue with low bandwidth even with rebar on (I suspect an architecture/pipeline issue), both because PCIe3.0 and older CPUs (less IPC/frequency?).

I am somewhat stuck in the past. ~7mbps internet on a good day, (fast) storage is not unlimited, computer is 2019 sale parts except still using 2016 budget GPU (1050Ti).

100MiB or under: it’s free real-estate

600MiB: I can tolerate this as an average size

2GiB: common AA size, function and quality better match

15GiB+: this is probably not worth it, beyond eye-candy maybe

60GiB+: This is diminishing returns, and likely multiple technical (and arguably better) choices could have avoided such bloat.

More understandable with physical media, though my last console did not age gracefully (YLoD, another unit I got via barter runs but probably has dry thermal paste). Also I mostly play free (and/or older) games these days.

Also personally: polygons are often enough. See Spyro’s vertex color skyboxes:

Seeing your contribution, any plans for gdext-nim? Understandable if you keep Enu on 3.X and start with different (perhaps smaller) projects.

Hey, I’m not sure if it fixes what you were worried about, but there was a new release that fixed more than a few issues.

Furthermore the creator of a 3.X gdnative project (Enu) is involved so that may be interesting longer-term.

Even public voting/participation (average theme scores?) might be good base metrics, assuming it isn’t just higher every single month. Though yeah, a wiki would help here.

I think I like how some game-jams run it, more freely-interpreted themes with choice+combos and about a month of relaxed-pace work. I think a set of up-to 12 entries (4-per week, 3 weeks) is still a pretty good set for a story or setting (for either traditional art or work sessions on a project like a game), for a simple/beginner challenge at least.

A pool of 52 prompts is probably good for choice.

It would be great if an art jam were flexible enough that bigger multimedia project (games/animation etc) entries would be using their own art entry attempts as building blocks (be it directly in-game, a storyboard/cutscene). Though that’s probably a high bar, community-wise.

Has there been any meta-discussion on these sorts of challenges for practice? I wonder if there is any agreement on what the best years are (/favorite non-inktober lists) or specific prompts that people disliked for one reason or another.

Particularly for using old lists, perhaps even using multiple for extra choice or mixing them in different creative ways (most likely when one of the prompts is less concrete, but also more interestingly combining different themes).

I can’t say they didn’t/won’t try to remove/cover it further, but on another article it’s at least dry (and seemingly not obstructed) pointing to the removal as calculated by Banksy as others have suggested.

Perhaps being a historic site, paint is not really an option instead needing a more costly restoration to obscure it.

Linux specific: XFCE has window manager tweak settings (in accessibility tab) that makes any maximized window effectively borderless (combined with auto-hide panel, of course).

Games are weird though so the ones that are fixed at native-res when windowed (NO maximize) don’t benefit from that unfortunately. I personally have an ultra-minimal window theme that reduces that issue (it’s only 12px off the top if you don’t move it up). EDIT: I think Smallscreen is the smallest default window theme, though the sides and bottom of the window are non-0 so that adds difficulty to placement.

€1,950,000 5,124 people for the first event goal

I think it should be on the moon with a Black-Mesa-branded rocket (with a gnome on-board), for thematic reasons. It’s no Xen, but you could probably add some decorations and even without that it’d be a better match than Italy.

Not sure about dodgeball though, I think area combat would fit more as well. Just make sure to have first-aid stations and have everybody sign waivers.

…or maybe you should just do free meet-ups with people to play dodgeball or talk-about/play your favorite games etc. (and maybe you’ll find some overlap) without it being some record-breaking event?

Hail to KING baby DAIRY.

I’ve already depicted you as the Sander Cohen and myself as the Atlas.

I dunno, do you think it’s too rough for prototypes or jam-like games?

Seems to me like many of the issues are likely specific, workaround-able stuff. It’s mainly developed by 1 person, so pretty much any type of involvement (even posting issues or showing off projects) could help improve the future of the project.

In some cases you can keep your logic in its own file and not dependent on any engine. For instance I made a (non-game) software demo (number converter) for the 3.X bindings and then easily redid the GUI and rewired it for the 4.X bindings. (similarly I made a polygon-from-text-format parser for Naylib, I could transfer it but Godot has polygon editing so less need there)

I haven’t done enough to consider myself a programmer, but I could’ve written your post. It hits a niche that I have long wanted from programming.

You should check out the Godot 4 bindings if you haven’t already (gdext-nim, see my post on !nim@programming.dev). There’s also one for Raylib (specifically, Naylib).

My biggest functional gripe (that I can say for certain is not just me) was that support for (Bellard’s) TCC was dropped. It was nice for quick prototyping, though Clang is a pretty efficient middleground/default.

I would say: even if it’s just a free video, C.Y.A. (wear some pants). At a minimum.

In other words, distance yourself from anything that ties to any sort of intellectual property. Don’t use their names in a title/description, don’t use their pixels (especially not in a thumbnail), use original designs and even add your own ideas or changes/improvements etc. Define, generalize, and abstract.

Keep any hint of it off of the internet until it’s finished and released.

Why do you interpret it this way with the context of ‘solarpunk’ and the door on the left labelled as an obvious bad thing? In other words, implying they’re choosing not to contribute to extinction.

Granted, I do think it’s wishful thinking more than anything.

EDIT: I guess I can see it with the wording if you just consider the door on the right to be escapism, though I also think even with that interpretation it’s probably unrealistic to assume that they can even do much with our current trajectory (even if current emissions somehow stopped overnight).

Is there even a small kernel of truth backing this up? What ‘something else’ is there other than laying flat?

Or like, are there any last-ditch options for some chronically-ill middle-aged homebody like me? A transhumanist cult, a real-life equivalent to a Rimworld colony, some like-minded individuals living on a boat who can make it to my local port that need a sweeper or mediocre heat-intolerant stirfry-cook who can’t swim? No?

Half-ethical brain preservation testing, put me in a The Matrix? I’d roll the dice, the bar is really low at this point.
