reached a new level of nerd recently, generating C# scripts with the Roslyn SyntaxFactory API in Godot. it's mostly a miserable experience, and inefficient compared to just writing string chunks for simple use cases, but something about connecting the bricks just tickles my brain ☀️

side by side of two c sharp script, the purpose of the one on the left being generating the one on the right.

I have this old twitter gif from @noelfb.bsky.social saved up for the opposite case, using "↩️" when it's ended, it's neat. I think one mandatory sliced dialog at the start (or just written in a way that leaves no doubt the character has more to say) + feedback when there's no more is the way to go.

I know who he is. the term is also right there, in the text he wrote. it's not a neutral argument, it shows a very specific vision of the world.

An excerpt from Linus Torvalds AI stance. Reads "This is *NOT* some kind of 'social warrior' project, never has been, and never will be."

- Une figurine ramenée de Londres quand j'étais petit. Je me souviens pas du tout de l'origin story, elle a longtemps été dans une boîte à souvenir et un jour je me suis aperçu qu'elle était trop cool et je l'ai ressorti - Des dés avec les motifs mélangés - Une carte de Roi décapité

got some neat generic help boxes working in the Godot inspector, so I can send ominous messages to my future self! they work for both tool and non-tool scripts, but rely on an extremely hacky parsing of @export_custom properties

A screenshot of the Godot engine inspector, showing some properties of a script and helpboxes with custom messages for some of them.

made myself a little tool script in Godot to preview the behaviors of a custom orbital camera 😊 initially I wanted to make a top-down motorcycle controller, but physics bug in third-person view turned out to be funnier.

earlier this week I was looking for something brainy before bed and ended up trying out the demo for DEG (and going to bed late). this is my board after 11 hours, 80% (only) of the demo 🤯 crazy guess-the-rules grid logic game with unique solutions, if that's your jam check it out! s.team/a/4044990

A zoomed-out view of the board of the demo for the game DEG, made of grids with colored cells and empty cells. The board starts small and extends as you fill out puzzle areas, it's huge.

i would like any computer I buy to explain the internet to me as Mac OS 9 did

a screenshot of an install screen from Mac OS 9. The header says "Do you want to get on the Internet?". There are three options: "I'll use my existing Internet service", "Tell me more about the Internet", "No, not right now". There are also two bright light buttons to "Go Back" or "Continue".

a screenshot of an install screen from Mac OS 9. The header says "About the Internet". There's a floating text saying "You can also use e-mail to keep in touch with your friends and family". The text is next to a photo montage of smiling people next to the computer screen of an iMac.

it's really cool! have been using your minimal theme for a while and this feels like the mature version of it. among the things that could be improved: editor tool button should be inspector width by default and could use some padding above/below (Unity's take feels cleaner).

google is pretty clear about it

badly photoshop'ed google result of the site "On This Day" that headlines "Historical Events on January 29" with a new mention: "date of Cairn release"

launched Guild Wars Reforged out of curiosity and my edge lord character from when I was 10 is still very much there 🥲

The character selection screen from Guild Wars Reforged. Show a necromancer with a single fluo green strand of hair. He looks like someone I might have found dark and cool when I was 10

most relatable experience: dropped some keys here and lost them forever.

tautological level design

A screenshot of the game Baby Steps. The character stands in front of a labyrinth of cardboard boxes. "Box hell" is written near the entrance. A subtitle at the top of the screen reads "Box hell".

he even made an interactive CD-ROM in the 90s to showcase a collection, with a customization menu!

and anything by Walter Van Beirendonck is pure chara design and storytelling (an often kinky and dark one)

A look from Walter Van Beirendonck Fall Winter 2015 collection. It's a patchwork oversized sweater, with each pieces arranged in a way that forms an angry surrealistic face.

Stills from Walter Van Beirendonck Fall Winter 2008 collection. All four models have haiddresses that look like halos, decorated with simplistic shapes like hands, stars, boots, eyes...

Stills from Walter Van Beirendonc Fall Winter 2010 collection. On the first one, three male models wear pop color outfits and have huge fluo color ear muffs. On the second one, two women models have dress mounted with horses heads, and wear ridiculously oversized horse riding helmets.

or the carry-your-coffee-table garment from the quirky nomadic people of your fantasy world

you could maybe pimp your paid skins a little? if a player pays 0.99, they deserve the crushed painting dress i think?

that goddess any JRPG wants you to kill could be Iris Van Herpen, Margiela, Loewe or McQueen

mine after 50hrs, more or less sorted by individual mysteries. I'm also dropping the game at this point! I believe it would have greatly benefitted from an in-game log of sort. late game puzzles are super complex, and not knowing what is a clue or not exponentially increases this complexity.

don't mind my perfectly sane "i'm doing a Miro board for this" (I started with a notebook but it was just too messy)
