Did you ever buy that toy you wanted as a kid but didn't get?
I do it all the time. Toys are super fun.

Discord Invites Devs To Make Games That Are Playable Directly In Its App
And I invite Discord devs to make their "communities" indexable.

What are your programming hot takes?
I really love the project structure of C++. I know that it is an archaic design developed like this due to lack of resources, but I find packages extremely offputting.
The first reason is that splitting declaration and implementation across files makes it easier to figure out what something does.
Second reason is that I feel that I have more control over libraries and packages that have to be manually added to a project rather than using a package manager.
Third, I feel like modern languages iterate over too many versions too fast. C++ has version releases too, but I feel that versioning is handled better from time, compatibility and stability point of view.

Gamedev and linux
Reply in thread
That is still extremely valuable feedback.
"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
If it looks like a duck, swims like a dog and barks like a dog but I am still telling you it is a plain old duck, there is a miscommunication between me as a game developer and you as the player.

Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?
I recently distro-hoped to Fedora Silverblue and I am quite pleased with it. This version has in immutable filesystem, thus you might want to look for another version of Fedora.
NixOS is big no go for me too, especially given that you can install the Nix package manager on any distro easily.
Arch Wiki is great and I often use it for non Arch distros well.

Why do some people fork repos but make no changes to them?
Reply in thread
GitHub nukes forks when the original repository is deleted. The correct way to handle your use case is by creating pull mirrors, ideally on a different host.

White House urges developers to dump C and C++
Reply in thread
C++ is also the standard in game dev. You may see some C# here and there, but most engines, public available or otherwise, are built on C++.
If it is a AAA game, I can assure you it is most likely made with C++.

I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?
Was he interested in developing games in Roblox or just playing them? If he was interested in development, consider showing to him Godot. Do a simple tutorial together, maybe a multiplayer that he can send and show off to his friends.

Meta: How can we grow this community?
I think that instead of trying to grow this community, we would be better off by rewriting the existent large communities' members in Rust for a safer approach.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?
Somehow I found ways to remove and break the GUI multiple times in multiple ways in multiple distros.
Different scenarios, different times, different issues trying to "fix". My usual fix after this was always to copy what I think I still had important and then move on with a reinstall.
Recently I have been playing with ZorinOS and broke it in the same way by fidgeting with pipewire. Distro hoped to Fedora Silverblue due to the immutable filesystem. I wonder if I will break this one in a way I cannot revert it easily with rpm-ostree. I almost feel challenged.

My take on the impossible cube...no viewports and render targets used!

I haven't noticed that I was working on master instead of main. Merged it to main now

what engine would you recommend for a couple of teenage kids

Fun fact: Godot also runs on Android devices. Having a big screen tablet with bluetooth mouse and keyboard makes a pretty sweet mobile workstation.

Maintenance release: Godot 3.5.3
Reply in thread
I did not know Cassettes Beasts was made with Godot! Even cooler that they contributed to the engine.
Time to move that game from wishlist to cart.

Is this really that bad?
The UI/UX is a bit bad as the user flow is mangled. i would advice adding one of the new strong captchas and upon failure, redirect the human towards the human page and the bot towards the bot page.

The Unreal Engine Asset Bonanza Bundle
Reply in thread
There is! Sometimes a bit buggy as it stops downloading files, but restarting it resumes the download:

What game development engines or frameworks are you currently using, and what do you like about them?
Professionally: Unreal Engine 5 Hobby: Godot and Unreal Engine 5
Godot is fun, quick and small. Unreal is powerful, bulky and big.

What do you think of the way Subnautica did it during development with the feedback button?
I think most devs do not bother with this despite being quite trivial to implement. This inspires me to create an Unreal Engine plugin that allows the devs to easily implement it and for the player to easily use it.

An AI bot to Inspire you
Quite funny, especially considering that I was considering to resume working on an old project of mine involving AI and EEGs. Sorry!
