You’d be amazed at what you can make! :) I am not formally trained, and picked up a tonne from doing (and youtube) - smarts be darned, I have fun! :) If there’s a game you’d like to make or look into how it’s put together, I find it to be a fun hobby definitely.

it’s a very cheap hobby, as the big three (Godot, Unity, and Unreal) all are free to use (the latter two have commercial costs, but godot is open-source), so I love it for that too! :) There’s no equipment needed either, I even have godot installed on my phone because I can! :)

I’m a unity dev, so that’s my wheelhouse. Unity offer handy lessons to help you pick up how things work, but both godot and unity are okay once you overcome “whoah lots of things! send help!”. I’ve not used unreal, but I gather the building-block scripting “blueprints” is easy enough. :)

Whatever you choose to get up to, hope you have fun!

Hi :) not sure if it’s useful, but here’s a post and some discussions about it in the comments :) it seems to go away if storage is cleared, but not always, and it comes back again :)

That’s really interesting, I didn’t realise the viewer’s instance had an impact on how Lemmy handles things! :) I can imagine it could cause a few headaches trying to patch an app for one without breaking another.

Thinking about it - I joined Lemmy.ml for the programming, but did mean to try using more instances, this could be a fun experiment. :)

Hopefully it’s not too bad for the nice developer who makes Boost :)

Thank you again for taking the time to look into all this and explain it! :)

That’s really kind, thank you. :)

https://lemmy.world/post/4637372 - for me this works (Thanks to Max_p for noting about instances)

https://lemmy.world/post/27772240 - huh… for me share doesn’t work as it tries to share an image proxy instead… didn’t expect that :)

Heehee yep, me too! :) In case it helps, the “About” message says I’m on version 1.0.15 (19)

I want to be a great parent, and be able to make games and/or music for a living - dream I shall!

Short of that, I want to have a pet penguin and live in a quirky house by the sea like a character in some kids book, that sounds excellent.

Same on all counts, best of luck. ♥️

Ubuntu all the way! :) Before I learned there were other ones, then wound up back on Mint again after a trip around the houses. :)

I do, this is it! Recently remade in Hugo :)

It’s mostly things I’ve made or been interested in (music, game projects, musical web nonsense), but mostly just… I’ve always had this site, and am attached to it in a way?

It used to be the name of a comic I made for fun, and the gets used for everything to remind me to keep that feeling of fun and making stuff for enjoyment. :)

Must admit, I’m frequently torn between the private nature of why I binned facebook vs writing there, but meh, I’m happy and that’ll do.

I “broke” linux mint just by trying to pop KDE on, had to timeshift because it messed up my keyboard layout and a whole bunch of other things with my display.

I don’t know how people do these crazy changes without pain, and have a feeling the answer is simply “there’s pain” 😂

For me, the last “ah yes, the future” moment was going from “broadband” to seeing real fiber at a friend’s house that was 100x faster. Insanity at the time :)

You can’t just make me vanish into a dark room and listen to an album…

… yet here I am, and I thank you. :)

I can recommend the burger recipe that uses cream crackers! :) Nothing more insightful to contribute besides that though as I’ve not tried other recipes

(usually the BBC have a version with “less fancy ingredients”, by which I mean “doesn’t assume I have my life together and can afford to have fresh vegetables on hand in my fridge” - this is probably a me problem lol)

Always Sometimes Monsters gets my vote! It was a good story and I felt like it was a great use of a weekend. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea (text-based, no combat), but I loved it!

Also the keyboard! I have never used one I liked more until thumbkey came along :) The windows keyboard was so good for swipe typing, it makes me wonder how they now own swift key and it isn’t as good!

When I had to go to Android (phone battery on the Lumia 950xl started swelling), I used things to replicate Windows Phone as it was so fun to use. :)

Now that just sounds blissful! I legit plan to try this

It was in fact a protest because dinner would take an hour and a yorkshire pudding fell out its bag while I was rummaging in the freezer! I needed sustenance and gravity obliged, it would have been rude to deny my destiny. 😊

I am sure that my sacrifices and heroism in a trying time are just what any other normal, sane person would have done… I should think probably I guess

Frozen yorkshire puddings with raisins inside. A bit of sweet, a bit of cronch.

I am aware of what I have said, and stand by my poor life choices that led to this brilliant discovery.

Oh my gosh I’ve not saved a post quicker! This is something I’ve wanted to do for ages! :) Thank you
