No need for shitty AI to make me unable to understand my codebase one year down the line! I can do that all by myself, with my baseless self-confidence, about being able to understand that 400-line-long class I wrote in the middle of the night, with the only comment being "TODO: lmao, FIX".

Just add that feature you've been thinking about. It's not scope creep, you wanted to add it from the beginning anyway. Don't worry about the roadmap, everyone does this all the time. It won't hurt.

I added implemented FLAK turrets and replaced 12 of the Carrier's CIWS with them.
Did that improve the balancing? Nah.
But hear me out: I rewatched all of Battlestar Galactica (2004) over Christmas.
That's it.

It helps my motivation so much to have the pipelines in place to get even half-done versions of ships into the game and see them going to town on other ships. Or, in the case of the carrier, just annihilate 1km³ of space with 28 CIWS. TODO: balancing.

"We lost 3 engines, but we still have 17 more."
End of last year was crazy. Now working on the base carrier and it turned out to be 802 m long. I only have two hands and I have never been happier to not have gone photo-realistic, because this would kill me XD

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most.

🤖Need input: Windows 11 is a pile of trash and I'm thinking of setting up a dual boot with Linux as my daily driver.
Most things should should work (TM), but doe anyone have input on 2D software specifically and also tips regarding preferred distros for #Godot dev in general?

If you want to mess with your Steam Replay, just do the basic implementation of the Steam SDK during development and then kinda forget about it watching while you work for the next 4 months... XD

I’m steadily forming a unifying theory that ultimately, this is what LLMs are accelerating: everyone has access to sycophantic virtual yes men at minimal (for now) cost and that’s having exactly the same effect on the 99% as it always has had on the 1%

Not a big announcement but we want to make this clear: we have never nor will ever use generative AI.
And that goes for all kind of assets. No placeholders mid development, no presentation materials, no automated localization or voice acting replacement.
