Honestly wish more projects were written in Nim than Rust. Statically typed, different memory management strategies based on your needs or if you're integrating with another language (e.g., Go), the compiler doesn't take forever

I feel it's understated how hobbyist gamedevs *must* be targeting WASM. The current off the shelf game engines like Godot, Unity and Unreal all focus on more modern graphics APIs. They offer GLES option, but they call it "legacy". WebGL2 is not legacy. It is a current and supported standard in all browsers. WebGPU does not formally replace WebGL2 and WebGPU is still poorly supported.

The primary graphics API target for a hobbyist gamedev should be WebGL2/OpenGL ES3. What's the point of Vulkan when no one is going to bother to download your sketchy binary?

There's a gap in the market for a WASM-first game engine.

Do we really have free speech? It sure doesn't seem like it when courts allow this sort of thing:

"The music publishers’ inducement theory partly relies on a handful of public statements by Elon Musk, which they argue demonstrate that X encouraged its users to infringe."

What was that ''inducement"?

Apparently at some point Elon Tweeted:

“[Truncated] DMCA Is a Plague On Humanity”

Yes- his disgust for a law is being called an act of encouragement rather than a set of words actually encouraging infringement.

BUT even if he encouraged it that should (whether or not it is or will be, and it probably won't be) be protected.

It's the right if not duty of every person to advocate against unjust laws and to disobey. You don't get to write off wrongs just because there is a law.

wait the EU tech thing was a psyop? always has been

Prediction Reminder: Game engines will become deeply integrated with AI to the point where the game engine becomes the sandbox to create your own interactive experiences. We will essentially get the The Matrix where you say "I need guns, lots of guns" and then the guns fly at you.

I've bought Unity stock because of this prediction. I wish I could invest in Unreal (you could buy Tencent I guess).

I never implemented death properly so when I die I just end up controlling particles, until they decay, then I get a new one. Just an emergent/buggy behavior from the ECS.

Which is worse about this whole situation ?

@xianc78 cat-v and suckless get on lists because people have no sense of humor (maybe edgy, but clearly humor). 9front shipped with mein kampf and had garbage pail kids release names. a handful of nerds doing a walk with torches is OBVIOUSLY people not taking themselves serious.

fuck em if they can't take a joke.
