A new Windows 11 laptop that won’t break in a year: $1000

Reviving “old” tech with open source software: priceless

There are some laptops Windows 11 refuses to run on. For everything else, there’s #Linux Mint

Tonight's episode of the #Godot Files shows our fearless barbarian hero fighting back for once!

The assets included with the book made the missiles look so tiny at first. The editor makes scaling things much easier though, and I think it looks pretty good.

Game over screen is working too!

Tonight on the Godot files:

No fighting back against zombies yet, but I learned how to get a little game over screen going, so it's almost like it's a full game now.

Onto fighting back 💪

In tonight's edition of the #godot files, I now have things chasing me and trying to kill me.

And they're succeeding.

Not to worry, I'm learning how to kill them back soon. Once I'm done making this game from this book, I'm really going to want to start on something homemade.

It's been really great learning #godot and trying to create something that maybe resembles a game! Cannot wait to continue learning. Who knows, maybe one day I'll make something substantial

I'm dipping my toes into game development using #LittleJs and I have little to no clue what I'm doing.

But I did draw a chick and some grass and some dirt. This probably won't amount to anything, but it's a start.

#smoking is all finished but I’m scared to try it. I’m trying to proclaim dominance over meat so I can be responsible for the Turkey next year. #BBQmunity

Still #smoking, it doesn’t look very different but it smells great. Think I might bump the heat up lol.
