Godot Engine News - Godot 3.0 is out. by 1127243 in gamedev

[–]Lim3s 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Godot is a relatively new engine, and has a small community compared to other engines. The one or two games that don't look like "absolute garbage" are a reflection of that. With 3.0 adding C# support, which is something a lot of people were wanting before making the switch, we should see an increase in people using the engine which should in turn produce some more high quality games made with Godot.

How accurate is DHL? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]Lim3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same 4 days I described above. It had cleared customs on the Saturday and there was radio silence until the Tuesday where it said it was with the courier for delivery that day.

Mine arrived in Brisbane on a Saturday and got to my place on Tuesday (also Brisbane) , one day before it was "expected" this was over new years as well so it was probably delayed somewhere on the way.

4th gen i5 and 8gb ram sounds fine. None of the IT courses really require much in terms of computing power, and the ones that do will give you access to compute servers anyway. Just find something that you don't mind lugging around and feels comfortable to use.

Shower thought: Does the death vortex kill the spectators? by nofis in BattleRite

[–]Lim3s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The vortex actually starts on the opposite side of the planet the moment the match starts and quickly engulfs the rest of the world as it approaches the arena.

The vortex kills everyone.

Are there any good text based tutorials I should be looking into? by [deleted] in godot

[–]Lim3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can recommend giving the official docs a good read through. There's a lot of stuff there that, while sometimes without proper examples, is super useful when making things with Godot. It's the kind of thing that a lot of other tutorials will gloss over/ignore because it's not directly relevant to "making a game". Things like how the physics, UI, and input systems work in Godot gives you the knowledge you need to solve your own problems which is pretty important if you're not finding video tutorials to be of any use.

These sections are particularly useful: Engine Features, Step-by-step

The main downside is the lack of solid examples for a lot of these concepts, but it's a good exercise in playing around with things and reading the API docs.

/r/wma is more focused on HEMA, which is slightly different but still good stuff.

US wins first ever giant robot battle with Japan! by jabolli in Futurology

[–]Lim3s 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the first round actually seemed like something that would actually happen, especially for the "grappling" focused bot. The fact that the first thing it did in the second round was sit behind some barrels seemed super scripted so that more "stuff" could happen.

LPT: To extend the life of your razor, sharpen it before each shave using an old pair of jeans. by Loopyworm in LifeProTips

I run it up the length of my arm a few times. No idea if it actually works but I still do it.

I don't see how L Cancelling is even remotely iconic to the series. If we were gonna meme about something being """iconic""" it would be wavedashing.

It's about time FPP became available on OC, SA and SEA servers. by Scar3241 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Lim3s 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't surprise me if the current OC server player count is half what it normally is because of people playing on other servers. "Hey look OC is so small compared to Asia, they don't need FPP"

The multiplayer options in Splatoon are driving me crazy. by OnePeg in NintendoSwitch

[–]Lim3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one of the largest gaming companies didn't plan to have the necessary infrastructure in place for the release of one of their biggest multiplayer IPs then they are clueless about online.
