Can’t spell “estadunidense” without “dense”, can you?

Can you not just create a local social club account and use it to save your game progress? Iirc that how it supposed to work at least

It’s plastic not wax

Well to miss something you need, in the first place, aim at it and I don’t know about you but all I can aim at blindfolded is my own feet

So a cube? 0.0 and 1.1 are on a top side and 0.1 and 1.0 are on a bottom side so every line is a diagonal of a cube’s face

So… Which news website has good news again?

Well, that’s an absolute exception and no one should even consider such an occurrence to be a new standard ever

/s (just in case)

In the end the people who ran the hegemony of cable TV just got their hands on the TV streaming services and turned it into the hegemony of TV streaming service.

Nothing have changed the goals people at the top had - they just needed time to adapt

Where is the picture from? It looks so familiar but I can’t remember

DAO+Awakening is just a chef kiss, nothing is perfect in this world but as far as games are concerned DAO is an amazing experience.

DA2, huh, I did finish it like twice I’d say and I don’t remember much. Can’t say much but I guess this fact is something in itself.

DAI got a joke for a story, from the very first minutes it’s just laughable. I did enjoy the crafting and fighting in DAI but even those have a fair amount of flaws (limited number of abilities cause of console support and so on)

“DAO does have some age” sure thing - it’s in the name

Uhm… What should I be seeing exactly?

I mean take a look at what’s happening in Russia (besides the war) - folks over there had nothing to hide until suddenly they had and quite a few people got a prison sentence for their posts, re-posts and likes made before the war. While Russia is quite an extreme case it’s not the most extreme and you can sit on the “it won’t happen to me/here” pills yet so thought those people.

Well, you can create an account on an instance that’s defederated from nsfw instances and doesn’t allow nsfw communities inside. For example I’ve seen almost no porn in my ‘all’ feed and had to block like one community from some big instance.

Well, that’s probably a wrong kind of ‘open’ to what FOSS means by ‘open’ yet I’m not convinced. With the whole 'anybody can make an instance and collect all the data they wan’t it’s kind of awkward and messy. How much of the said data you can obscure/encode without losing the openness between instances?

Because if one instance can’t verify actions of another then you have an issue dealing with bots and overall the platform becomes way more obscure and less reliable as a source of information.

And like if the buttons themselves had an ability to openly show who upvoted/downvoted a post - how much of a difference would’ve been here? I don’t feel like it’s such a concern.

The point about deletion/edits - it’s not about removing your info from the internet, it’s about correcting what’s wrong for the sake of providing correct. If it’s on the internet once it’s there forever. I don’t see people complaining about weyback archive doing their thing. Yet it’s doing exactly the same thing possibility of which upsets so many people here.

If you monkey brain posted you home address and where the keys are - it’s on you, not on the internet for storing the info.

The only real point I see here is corporations/governments scraping all this data for their use. Yet as long as they can federate there’s nothing much to do and if you try to restrict federation then it’s just a bunch of forums with extra features.

I don’t know how much programming experience you have so I won’t assume yet the stuff I wrote down the line are quite basic.

Generally speaking you always want to use the latest stable (!) version of whatever tool you want to learn, just be sure you’re watching/reading tutorials for the right version.

As to how to learn, I’d suggest to start with videos on YouTube - get some free assets on itch.io (maybe ones being used in the tutorial, maybe not) and just do stuff along the videos - figure out the basics, build the base and move from here.

You want to get the feel of the process, what works, what doesn’t, try to break the whole game in pieces and just do one at a time. Make an animated character, make a level with collision, map some inputs to the character, run through the level, add something the character can break, add means to attack, break the thing that is breakable, add an enemy, realize there’s no health, add health and damage and so on… Don’t really focus on getting it right - focus on getting it done, you’ll have a lot more understanding how to do something better after you’ve done different parts of the game.

As to the docs - it’s great, but you don’t need to read it as a book to start something, it’s a hefty time investment and you won’t get much out of it at the current point. Just remember that the doc exists and go there with questions you have. You’re stuck with the collision BS? Go read the docs - the answer is there and you’ll understand and memorize it much better as you apply it to a problem you’ve faced.

Also don’t be disappointed or harsh on yourself for being “stupid” and doing something in a weird/ugly/inefficient way after learning how it’s done properly - it’s part of the learning process.

For the publication of your game - it’s up for you to decide, I mean you can just share it with friends or relatives, it’s all good as long as you’re having fun with it.

Well, Twitter is a mobile game now… Is there something to consider it a gacha?

Go back to Africa to protect gold mines there?

You sure you’ve seen thr Latin alphabet? Maybe you’ve mixed it up with Greek? I’m not trying to be mean or anything, I’m just really confused… the pronunciation is certainly different but the characters are mostly same

So what are the odds those are spez-trained bots?
