My non-Spanish followers may not know this, but on the 29th a huge storm flooded and devastated the region of Valencia The body count is at 200+ and more than 1000 people are missing.
I want to donate as much as I can to help the people so I'm joining #ArtistsforValencia

OK I can't not share this just in case:
My MX Master 3S mouse has been suffering from a "stiff" scroll wheel. Problem is dust stuck under the wheel
A random youtube comment suggested sticking doublesided tape on the wheel and rolling it.
It works. Perfectly.

It's wild that seeing gamedevs posting what they're doing again has kinda got me excited to make games again.
Like, it's not like I've not been making games the whole time, I've been working on a game for a studio for the last 2.5 years, but it makes me want to work on my own stuff again, too

lmao, take that. The goalposts moved and now I'm a bluesky elder somehow (according to some, an elder was from before the media tab. I was not around before the media tab)
Either way, I kinda like this place. It's been getting better since more devs and artists finally started sticking around

Boosting this again in light of the blackout in Gaza. Please don’t be silent on this, please don’t close your eyes to this
I just wanted to re-boost these resources on here for some ways to donate to Palestinian aid! If you’re unable to donate, please make sure to call your reps!

Folks, if you believe the Unity 3D backpedal, you need to- sit with your feelings a sec, because. Heh.

the true valuable thing that Unity created was a community of hoobyists and developers that supported each other and lifted everyone up. and that can survive without the company or even the software itself
I wish it did not bother me as much as it does to see people gladly leaping to Unity’s defense. They are a multimillion dollar corporation with the worst assholes in charge, and is your friend

Anyway regardless, I hope unity does a freeze on per-version ToS's, I hope your game development journeys are safe and I hope you finish whatever unity thing you're doing right now and then jump ship. Don't think it's too much effort, this isn't the first or last time they will try to screw you

Anyway this would probably annoy people but stop putting 100% of your eggs in someone else's basket. Learn at least 2 major engines to a point where you can swap if one fucks you over. My backup is currently Literally Any C++ lib if GameMaker screws me, so I can't be stopped

Can you imagine if Ableton saw you got a million listens on Spotify and decided you owe them 200,000$. What if adobe took a cut from every picture you sold. Even they aren't that evil.
Why do game developers roll over so quickly to terrible corpos. Have some self respect

It's nice that #Unity3D walked back to terms that don't apply unless you use their latest engine, but that's the take-away: you need to not use their latest. Finish game. Find another engine.
Anyone who sticks with them will get screwed the next time their c-suite wants to goose their stock price.

Really feeling like this place needs gifs or vid support before I can really settle in (I like posting gamedev stuff that benefits from video hugely), but maybe I can get away with stupid rambles
At least it feels less daunting + more stable than masto? I guess?

Anyway Splatoon ruined shooters for me since stick+gyro is my fave combination. Ever since, if a game has aiming, I wanna put gyro in it. Just finished with a wrapper for SDL for gamemaker just so I could use gyro on desktop.
So if Microsoft officially supports it, I'm happy

If the new Xbox controller information is legit, that means one super cool important thing is probably coming: gyro and accelerometer support in Xinput
Sure, maybe it's just mouse emulation, but I can dream
