    The best code its given me I’d been able to search for and find where it was taken. Hey it helped me discover some real human blogs with vastly more helpful information.

    (If you’re curious, it was circa when there was that weird infight at openclosedAI with altman, I prompted to give code to find the rotational inertia per axis and to my surprise and suspicion the answer made too much sense. Backsearching I found where I believe it got this answer from)


  • I stopped meeting with a doctor who told me to do yoga instead of referring me to physical therapy.

    Hard truth though is you need that kind of motion to keep your back in check regardless, not necessarily yoga. I spent over a year in physical therapy after being bedridden for a good 10 months simply because my spine started its own minor scoliosis. Instead that doctor took their frustration with my case out on me because I insisted on having pain while not meeting their possible diagnosis’

    But yeah aint gonna do much for actual scoliosis, im just beyond thankful I returned to being functional instead of in massive constant pain


  • Statistically speaking, if the other 96% of normal people who play games of that genre couldn’t be asked to play it, what percent of the 4% would be any more interested?

    And as a pretty long term linux user, any good game I care to play so far has had no need to market to my small demographic. Not using shitty practices rampant through AAA basically guarantees it just works under wine, it’s incredible really.

    Also as someone slowly building a game, that won’t be a demographic I’ll explicitly market to. Linux support is necessary as it’s what I use, but also as a result of using open source software. Godot is the engine I picked as it was the most prominent FOSS option at the time, and turned out to be a damn good pick.

    My point is, normal people don’t care about Linux, they just want something that entertains them. AAA continues to get more greedy and cut their deliveries, people who like games will feel more burned and start looking around.

    If this can be a guiding light to Linux or whatever, then that’s great. But the people who care about that sort of thing have to make sure there actually are other things to look to, by the time Linux desktop user share reaches 5% (maybe).





  • I can’t say thats why, regardless of engine you’re trying to solve basically the same problems, more likely which example project is used as a starter, which I’m sure very much the same can happen regardless of game engine.

    With the FOSS spirit however Im sure more contributors will make plenty of viable starter asset packs for inexperienced users and diversify the “feel”

    But I can say being able to actually interact with the phys engine is practically what’s enabling my project, so I would imagine that also has a part in the feel of games



  • Amazon trucks now sound like a garbage disposal because people got too annoyed when they’d back away but god fucking forbid fast food workers don’t have to fall asleep with the monotony oh hours of beeping stuck in their head. Oh and the headsets will make you go deaf because you need them on max volume to HEAR OVER the fucking BEEPING
