The patent infringement part 2 update was in 2010. Wonder if they ever got back to him.

Having just read the headline... but to me it's not a pointless metric because it exemplifies that there's more to software development that purely writing code.

From what I've seen, you have to use third party porting services. Godot being open source and not a legal entity prevents them from adding porting support in their engine because the console SDKs are secret and protected by NDAs.

I'm certainly not opposed to checking out alternatives.

Thank you for the blog post!

This has inspired me boot up GameMaker Studio 2 again. I usually come back to it now and then just to mess around, not really with the goal of making anything complete.

It's been a while since I touched it last, but I made this back in 2018. Never worked on it past what's in the video but it was still fun to work on!

Doubtful it even made that much considering the author said most of the steam players were friends or family. That said, I don't think you should go into indie development trying to go viral and make a ton of money.

I love this blog post because it highlights how difficult, yet fun and challenging it can be to create a game from scratch. I've messed around with GameMaker Studio 2 several times and this post has inspired me to do so again. Compared to the competition it's a relatively simple game engine, but it can be fun just to mess around and see what you're able to create.

I could see allowing only localstorage saving with no option for exporting or importing of data being limiting enough for me personally to have enough reason to upgrade to pro, maybe limit the number of plans you can have (if you haven't already, I haven't tested it) as well as the number of times you can actually save to localstorage.

I liked this enough where I made a model during my lunch break, then remade it when I got home, and then remade it a third time after I had accidentally pressed the "back" button on my mouse talking to someone on Discord, taking me back to the landing page and losing all my data.

After that last one I decided to at least get the free trial so I could save, but I had already planned pay for Premium so I wasn't too bothered.

Make sure your HDMI cable doesn't support ethernet... I've seen people comment about their TVs updating through HDMI when connected to peripherals like consoles.

I don't know about you, but I'm subscibed to several newsletters out of my own volition.. Are they spamming me then?

It does come across somewhat accusatory. Without the suggested affiliation with the author it would sound less so.

You also forget to mention they changed the font of certain UI elements to the same as the wordmark, namely the server name. The legibility of the new font is objectively worse than the previous one, though as long as it remains exclusive to the server name I agree, it's not that big of a deal.

I can't speak for other countries, but both parents cannot take parental leave at the same time in Norway. Some choose to use vacation days while the other parent has parental leave, but it's a fair assumption to make that one of the parents were working while the other was on parental leave.

I doubt this worked because it is less annoying but because it is now easier to locate the button in the first place and it tells you exactly what you need to know about its function.

That was a great read, thanks!

Also, isn't the correct penny A? I've never seen one in real life, but if wikipedia is to believed it says "In God We Trust" at the top, not "United States of America".

Even googling "1978 penny" shows the one from A.

It'd be a tool that can warn the lifeguards in the event that they didn't notice the drowning, not the only thing that monitors the pool.

Not saying you're wrong, but if your reason for commenting was to convince someone you're right, you probably ended up failing that.

If you just wanted an excuse to shit on crypto then... ok.

A bit late to respond to this one, but the post stated that smart metering should be compulsory. Whether you choose to pay any attention to it or not is entirely up to you.

I think the point was more along the lines of making it easier to care.

Was it really necessary to use the word "shitcoins"? I'm not the one to say whether your argument is otherwise correct, but resorting to such childish naming only ends up hurting your point.

Chances are people just roll their eyes and scroll on to the next comment before they even finish the sentence.

That's why you set a billing alarm.
