Just noticed this neat Slack UX trick. When you attach multiple images, instead of just marking them, it tells you which order they will be in. This tiny thing will save me so much irritation when trying to “tell a story” through images. I love it.
Whatever your position on AI, it's going to reshape internet security. Approaching infinite-paperclips behavior here: solve the problem at all costs, even if that means chaining together hacks and exploits- even discovering new ones in the process. Scary stuff.
Credit where credit is due - I had given up on @proton.me Linux as vaporware but Proton Drive just released an official Linux CLI. Haven't tried it yet but this might be enough to finally make Linux my primary OS over Windows. which... really needs to happen given *waves at everything*
Ah yes, the one problem tech simply cannot ever solve: letting me plug two (2) things into a set of three (3) outlets
folks don't try this at home especially when #available_planets is 84
My pen is mutating Soon I will have amazing whiteboarding superpowers
Lol i stg i JUST installed this and rebooted and its still here maybe i should go to bed early Like this isn’t even blocking me now (have a game installing)- I just think the thing is haunted or something
Ok help me out My partner claims “everybody” has had an easter bunny show up “in kindergarten” to give out easter treats I have never heard of this and claim doubt on the universality of this terror So how much of a thing is this really
I mean i only need one yardstick but what if I had TEN yardsticks for the price of three
Time for everyone’s favorite part of the year: the six-month plan!
I want to start playing games more so the answer is to go buy more games, right? (definitely not play the ones I already have. I will definitely play these.) Little bit of everything here- puzzles, action, RPG classics, retro, indie, AAA
quick mockup of an idea I had last night crafting system that combines a large palette of effects with associated costs. This wand uses pretty high-level concepts but could also see more lower-level programmatic things like control flow. where has this been done before?
Interesting quiz, quite a few questions where I’m not sure I read the intent properly or not (like, “elites are secretly trying to install authoritarianism” and well… did you mean for that question to hinge on “secret”?)
apparently there's some sort of #MakeATerribleComicDay today which I probably will not get around to but in honor of terrible comics here is the one comic I've ever drawn ever
Google: "this icon saves this album to your cloud account" Apple: "this icon downloads photos to your computer" just another tiny paper cut, what could it hurt
#Z3UX day 4: smooth (normalized) analog input feels... weird in an "ASCII" setting :D
Weird cat likes to keep me company in* the shower *He is outside of course
#Z3UX day 3: Basic directional input and stubs of an event system. I was trying to make a cool cursor but ended up with this boomerang thingy.
the problem with making fun colorful game dev tools is getting distracted playing with toys #Z3UX
#z3ux day 2: Testing framework is running. Every time the "game" runs :) Tests are "asynchronous", they can run across multiple frames of the game engine. This makes it easy to write tests like this one validating core assumptions about running yarns (threads) in lock-step.
Phase one is to get core concepts functional in Lua, this is the code for the above
#z3ux day 1: basic tiled layers/sprites, coroutines with fixed cycles and delay support
