I'm landing on Bluesky after moving from Twitter/X and investing a few years on Mastodon.
I like Mastodon, but I also find it to be "less lively" in the #gamedev context, when compared to Twitter/X.
I miss many of the user and their contents and, apparently, they mostly moved here. :)

LoL! My engine has it, for many purposes! :) To be specific it's a 1x1 indexed image with transparency (that can be optionally disabled and color-remapped

I watched it when I was 13 y/o or something, back in the '80s... I was genuinely terrified but thrilled! :D

Usually, I have a debug flag that enables the first ~10 minutes to run normally... then, everything is sped up increasingly to simulate days/weeks of continous play in a matter of minutes. :)
( while keeping the update delta-time fixed, of course )

Are you also speeding the simulation tick up to increase the throughput?

Not really explicitly. Some minor language changes, like the '<const>' modifier in v5.4.x, have been welcome. With v5.5.x I'm more interested in the performance gain for the garbage collector and the more compact arrays.
I just like my game engine to be up-to-date with Lua. :)

Too bad. Studio One has been my favourite DAW software for years since its inception as KRISTAL. I lost my interest in it with version 6.

Trying out chooser() for #picotron 0.2.2: a simpler way to select one or more files / carts / folders without messing around with create_process() and on_event() to interact with filenav.

Con la V1 ti basta materiale di piรน semplice reperimento, e anche meno aceto (ne basta un paio di cucchiai). Almeno, per come ho sempre applicato io il metodo.
Non credo di capire la necessitร di... rabboccare? In una notte mica devi rabboccare niente.
Mi sfugge qualcosa?

Oh, well... that's another legit option, which I must admit tempted me a lot in the 40s! :D I would have picked green or purple, most likely! :D

Fin da piccolo l'ho sempre visto fare (e fatto poi in seguito) in modo del tutto simile. Lo puoi fare, molto piรน semplicemente, usando una piccola porzione di un sacchetto di plastica e un elastico.

On a lighter note, and not related to game development, yesterday I was wondering how many adult males use hair dye, given the wide variety of products of this type available in shops...

These are some of Gustave Dorรฉ's finest works! I was explaining about Dante's "Divina Commedia" to my daughter just yesterday, and that mid-picture is the single most interesting "contrappasso" example of the whole Inferno. :)
