So, due to my #unity3d and #linux woes, I'm actually starting to consider upgrading to Unity 6.x after all. I was determined to finish the game in 2022 LTS, but as Unity grows more and more unusable, I'm starting to doubt sticking to a principle here is the right choice. As far as I know, they […]

So, a #musictheory question: if I have a chord progression like I IV V, that means it's three major chords and in C major scale it would be C maj, F maj, G maj. But if I understood correctly, the scale determines which chords are minor and which are minor, so in, say, A minor, that chord […]

I've had this idea for a #startrek inspired dialogue-based game for a while now, and threw together a small mockup today. I haven't honed in on the details of the gameplay yet, but I think it might be kind of like Arkham Horror on the high level, with […]

I'm trying to backup my old Windows drive to a USB drive using #linux but I keep running in to these errors. Is it possible that there's a character limit for path?
I know this particular file or folder isn't actually important but there might be some that are.

Watched a video where a guy argued that instead of trying to expand the audience for #startrek, they should make something that pleases the old fans.
But... I don't think there has EVER been a Star Trek show that hasn't been divisive between the fans. It'll be a very cold day in hell indeed if […]

Theme for #thursdayfivelist today is #moonmusic - not exactly a hard theme for a #metal listener 😅
Had to throw in some Ozzy too, of course.

I kinda disagree with the common criticism that #superman has too many characters and should have concentrated on the core cast more. I think it’s pretty ingenious how Gunn shows us what kind of Superman we’re dealing by how he interacts with very different people, and how they regard him.

#startrek Voyager: ”Tuvix”
What could have been a simple comedy romp with a somewhat overused premise, turned out to be quite an emotional heavy hitter. One of the best episodes thus far!

Don't tag your content depot for Steam Deck, unless it's a very specific optimization for it of some sort.

I'm running a romantic fantasy / court intrigue scenario this year in #ropecon and would like to have a dance ball scene that plays out like a traditional #dnd style miniature combat, with the associated depth. So instead of killing your opponents, you'd gather secrets, influence connections […]

Pitäisi kääntää "Studies, research papers, and informal polls that explore the fediverse." suomeksi, mutta ainakin äkkiseltään sekä studies, että research papers kääntyvät vaan tutkimuksiksi. Onko kellään tietoa miten näitä on aiemmin käännetty?
