Okay I have been working with GameMaker again and it's weird how they went through
>one time purchase if you want to export
to
>subscription if you want to export
back to
>one time purchase if you want to export
It's kind of good now but kind of not? They dropped "GameMaker Studio 2" even though the IDE is nearly the same, just call it "GameMaker" now, and now my Pro license doesn't count for the new vanilla "GameMaker" line. Like, okay I can still use GMS2 which they last updated in November 2023, but that will be left in the dust in a few years time, just like GMS1. But nu-GameMaker isn't even a super crazy advancement like it was for GMS1.4 to GMS2, so they literally just rebranded it to get you to fucking pay again! Fucking Opera!!! Bitches!!!

Fun to fuck around in it again but I should just use Godot or learn2code for real I guess

This week's donation went to the Tiled Map Editor Project. It's a FOSS tool for editing maps for games ranging from RPGs to puzzle games. Some games that use it are Carrion, Shovel Knight, Alwa's Legacy and more. Different parts of the code are licensed differently. This includes Apache 2.0, GPLv2.0, and a couple others.

The project's main website is here:

mapeditor.org/

The source code is on Github:

github.com/mapeditor/tiled

The project is also on Itch:

thorbjorn.itch.io/tiled

The project has a presence on Mastodon:

floss.social/@tiled

If you wish to help the project financially they accept donations through Open Collective and Liberapay. You can also donate directly to the lead developer Thorbjørn Lindeijer through Patreon and Github:

@PurpCat @GD5426 @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss I never understood why IBM prohibits people working on hobby projects. I don't see why it's a problem unless the project in question is in direct competition (e.g you contribute to ReactOS while working for Microsoft).

@PurpCat @GD5426 @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss The only reason why I don't feel like pseudonymous discussions won't completely go away, despite calls for it is because I'm pretty sure even normie parents don't like the idea of their children public discussing things under their real names.

@GD5426 @PurpCat @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss I think textboards have a chance. Sure, you can still easily fedpost, but CP spam isn't a thing (outside of links). They also have a different culture where it is much more laid-back and open-minded. The textboards that I have lurked have openly discouraged stormfagging, despite it not being against the rules, so fedposts are much more unlikely to occur there.

@GD5426 @dick @PurpCat @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss GameGate 2.0 seemed to have revitalize interest in imageboards (at least the video game related boards), but I don't know if activity will ever go back to 8chan levels. A lot of people seem to have given up on imageboards entirely after the original 8chan shutdown and the webring drama. If they are not on the fedi, then they are on niche forums like RPGCodex.

@Hoss @GD5426 @PurpCat @RustyCrab @rher 8chan.moe is doing just fine though.

@PurpCat @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss It's nice to see people running forums again.

@PurpCat @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss I lurked Reddit a few times back in the early 2010s just to see what it's about. I rarely saw any actual discussion, and for the time, I found much better discussion on actual forums.

Also, I think Reddit is losing relevance as a hub for discussion thanks to Discord (I honestly see people hosting their communities on there these days).

@PurpCat @RustyCrab @rher @Hoss Social news sites are nothing new. Reddit is unique in that it allows you to create your own communities within the site. Sites like rDrama are no different than sites like HackerNews, SlashDot, Fark.com, or MachoSucko.

>It is literally easier to start up a competitor to literally any other social media site for this reason.

It seems exactly the same with other social media sites.

* All the Twitter competitors are just the same as the Youtube competitors: either echo-chambers for political dissidents (e.g Gab or Parler) or decentralized protocols that only techies would use, despite it being functionally no different than email.
* When it comes to Reddit-like sites, there were both Immzy and Voat which are both now defunct and suffered from the same problems as Gab and Bitchute. Otherwise, you have the Lemmy instances which turned out to be an even bigger shitshow than Mastodon.
* As for Facebook, nobody would ever use a Facebook alternative, because those sites require your IRL friends and family to join. You are better off sticking to email or setting up an SMS group chat for your friends and family.
* Tumblr seems to have a few alternatives like Pillowfort, but I don't know much about them.
