I had to check if this wasn’t leaopardsatemyface.

Nah, exploding batteries is deadly stuff.

Breaking the laws of physics on the other hand just means that our models suck and physicists need to come up with new ones, which, as far as I can tell, is already the consensus…

Wait what client are you using? Mine shows the spoiler with weird formatting

How weird is it that he could lift it but the arm couldn’t support it? Homie there only works legs/core??

Yeah but cmon, the way he stands out from all other politicians, it was obvious he’s an alien.

I hope @sugar_in_your_tea is widely appreciated.

Yeah, especially stuff like “start/stop” or “on/off”, that universal language by now.

Depends on context. If it’s after a bad blunder it’s probably a poor reply, because it makes it seem like you’re trying to cover it up.

“I need my coffee” has never failed me!

Nice try but you’re not following fooling anyone, AI_toothbrush!

Edit: damn autocorrect

TIL Godot has a better file explorer than windows…

This is the way.

I’m guessing that if someone needs to define tolerance on such a small scale, they probably weren’t going to depend on an “approximately equal” function in the first place.

Then again, if someone has been dealing with these sorts of comparisons for a while, they’d have their own way of achieving this, so I guess it can be a handy tool for people who are just getting into game development.

It’s available on game pass, if you have it.

I played it there so much that I figured I owed it to the devs to actually buy it on Steam, and I don’t regret it, had a ton of fun

NMS is one hell of a redemption story, a really amazing job at persevering to follow through on their vision.

There’s now a new candidate for the same thing, a game called Techtonica that just released this month and totally tanked.

In the early access builds, the game was the lovechild of subnautica and factorio, two of my favourite games ever. It had the gorgeous and eerie alien open world exploration and compelling storyline, along with all the conveyor/inserter and min-maxing goodness that I crave.

It had some optimization problems as you scaled up, though, and I suppose sales in the early access must have been quite bad. My guess is that, with money running out, they opted to release on consoles for that extra buck, and completely gave up on solving the optimization issues.

Instead, they chopped up the world map into “levels”, that you unlock by constantly feeding this elevator/drill thing.

This totally breaks the open world immersion, the sense of scale from the big map, the unease one felt when running through all those miles of cavern, the thrill of finding gorgeous spots out there or hidden loot…

Plus, the dialog is at times incoherent with the revised narrative/progression path, and the factory production chains are a mess and the math doesn’t work, the balancing is just awful.

I mean, it’s still a gorgeous game and worth playing, but it has the potential to be so much more :(

But that’s just a happy little accident. Gabe is too much of a good guy, so he actually built a good distribution platform that also pushes for improvements for the whole ecosystem (like the Linux thing).

When he’s gone, capitalism dictates that enshitification must ensue in order to squeeze out every single cent of short term profit, and we’ll be screwed.
