@beardalaxy Charging people for the original copy while allowing people to redistribute it guarantees that at least some people will pay for it.

@beardalaxy I was actually hoping to release it commercially. It would be extremely dirt cheap like a dollar, but the game being open-source means that you could get it for free elsewhere. But I don't know if the game is even worth a dollar, even if paying is optional.

@beardalaxy I just don't feel like my game programming skills have improved at all since high school. I mean, I learned design patterns among other things during college, but I feel like I should be making my dream game now.

@Rocket I clicked the SuperBowl hashtag since it was trending. It was mostly the "Mastodon side" posting "Superb Owl" posts. Given that it is that side doing it, I was wondering if it was out of hate for Elon Musk.

I just need to accept that the game I'm currently working on will be heavily flawed. There will be balancing issues. People will most likely find exploits. I may have been programming games for over a decade, but I never had the time to actually work on something this big and be close to finishing it.

Is this Superb Owl meme supposed to be for those who don't care about sports or is it leftists boycotting the even due to some Elon Musk commercial?

If someone doesn't like it, tell them to reverse engineer it (assuming the source code isn't available) and rewrite it.

Language/engine wars are dumb. Just make your game and stop caring about what others think.

Hi I'm looking for a remote programmer/devops job. Something low-stakes & part-time, don't really care if it's a temp arrangement with very low pay, I just don't wanna burn through the money I saved while I finish uni. I have 2 yrs of high-paid & specialized work+training experience, +many more in personal experience. Fav tool is OCaml and I have good exposure to a dozen others. Will deliver high quality stuff no matter where I end up :thumbsupanime:

Please share this post if it's not too much trouble ^^

PS: if you're coming from a crypto/fintech/military-adjacent/ai-focused/adware company... I appreciate the opportunity, but please look elsewhere.

Why is it every time you get a good chunk of money to save, something fked up happens immediately requiring you to spend said money

I want to take a moment to publicly honor my mom and my wife, Lyn and Caroline, for the herculean effort they put into saving me from a life sentence.

They worked side-by-side, day after day, for years. Despite many setbacks and countless challenges, they never gave up. The amount of work it took to get me to where I am today is beyond what most people can probably imagine. My fellow prisoners often told me how fortunate I was to have a dedicated wife and mom like mine.

Many people helped us along the way and we are deeply grateful to all of them. I would still be locked in a cell behind a prison wall were it not for all the support we received. THANK YOU!

I love how socialists hate Elon Musk and many right-libertarians love Elon Musk, despite him technically being the biggest welfare recipient in the world.

@Forestofenchantment @cassidyclown @nyanide @bleedingphoenix Textboards don't have this problem. I suggested that on the 8chan bunkers when people really started to CP spam the hell out of them, but a lot of them refused because they liked posting images and video.

@sun @nyanide It will just end up like Threads where a huge chunk of servers end up blocking it either because of incompatible ToS or EEE concerns.

I wish I could convince ANYONE I KNOW to put in an ounce of effort in chat programs more complex than failberg messenger. I had to personally install matrix clients for everyone in my family because they're all tech-illiterate dumbasses no better than toddlers with ipads.

the future isn't the fediverse but another centralized platform, aka Bluesky. which fucking suuuuucks

So I thought of a fictional currency for an alien species where the "money" is actual a form of energy that is stored in the body and can be transferred from one body to another. From a video game design stand-point, it's brilliant because it's an in-universe explain on how the characters are able to carry that much money.
