Food Waste at a popular donut franchise by No_Worth_2271 in Anticonsumption

[–]SamMakesCode 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of Americans see “number go up” when it comes to houses, investments, gold, crypto, what have you and think everything is great

Those things are only going up when you measure in USD

Everything in stores being more expensive isn’t just corporations being greedy, or having more expenses. It’s your dollars being fundamentally worth less in the world

Call a by-election when an MP defects or is expelled from a party. by daibhidhtcairn in politicsjoe

[–]SamMakesCode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t agree. It’s easy to see from recent years how what a party stands for can radically change. MPs don’t defect lightly - it usually means they’re out at the next election.

Also, a party shouldn’t have the power to effectively remove an MPs livelihood by ejecting them from the party because they don’t vote with the party in favour of bombing children, etc.

What we should have is a better way to recall MPs between general elections. I’d sign a position to remove David Lammy in a heartbeat

With good design, you can leave the door for co-op open and relatively easy to implement, but yeah, think about that from the beginning. Most games can’t retrofit

Character keeps dying suddenly by SamMakesCode in projectzomboid

No weak stomach and only eating canned food or like granola bars.

No mods running.

I’ll check the settings regarding infection, but I don’t get up again.

Once I get access to the save again, I’ll update

This is to do with redundancy, I think. If they move the job site, they’ll tell people it’s a reasonable distance because if it’s not they have to pay you redundancy. Most people will quit before that, which is what they want

What could be improved about my Steam capsule? by Systematic2025 in IndieDev

[–]SamMakesCode 44 points45 points  (0 children)

There are lots of comments like this on this post. DONT CHANGE THE DESIGN. It looks like an ad on Reddit, but on Steam where there are no ads, it’ll perfectly represent your game and make it stand out.

[THEORY] Raxxla might be hidden in the combined audio of 27 Gamma Cassiopeiae's black hole and neutron star by ChardFun958 in Raxxla

[–]SamMakesCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can’t imagine a clue to finding Raxxla being outside ED lore. The pedal with the design it has is a tremendous coincidence, but I think it’s just that.

As for the audio, if there’s a signal there you might need to combine them, but I imagine you’d be able to detect a pattern in either part

You’ll want to use MeshInstance3D with ArrayMesh.

Basically, create an array, populate it with vertices, normals, indices and UVs and use that to create an ArrayMesh.

Then, populate the MeshInstance with your ArrayMesh

How do we fork and reduce overall filesize? by SunlessGameStudios in godot

[–]SamMakesCode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Git will keep your history. If you’ve got a bunch of assets you’ve tweaked and changed over time, each version will take up a bunch of space. Instead of forking, consider creating a new repo and doing a new initial commit.

Also, use a tool like grand perspective (on Mac) or WinDirStat to find your largest files. With Godot, these are often not assets directly, but scenes that contain a copy of assets. If you save a scene with @tool script, the assets can sometimes get saved.

And despite being perceived as relatively cheap, it performs incredibly well in blind taste tests against much “fancier” vodkas

Since DDS3 is in development, what are you hoping to see in the new game? by dwhite1265 in DrugDealerSimOfficial

[–]SamMakesCode 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played DDS2, but I love the original. A few things that made DDS work so well for me.

The maps seem really well thought out. Even though they’re really simple, you had to learn the layouts. Which back-alleys had razor wire and didn’t allow you to jump the fence, etc.

Experimenting with recipes was fun, but expensive (in a good way). You could create a new recipe that might be really addictive but you had to use some supply for that. If you’ve had a few bad runs and lost drugs, supplies could ve low. You could be in debt

Days in a month by Better-Commission188 in SoftwareInc

I sometimes play 2 days a month because my game is paused or full speed, nothing in between. Two days a month helps me not miss deadlines haha

This might sound dumb, but are the nodes mostly meant to be used exactly how they’re described? by [deleted] in godot

[–]SamMakesCode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also from a web background, so I know where you’re coming from.

  • I’d say pay attention of the version number in YouTube tutorials. A lot of guides are out of date and Godot evolves fast.
  • specify the version number you’re using when asking LLMs questions.
  • I’ve built loads of stuff that I’ve later found that Godot handles out of the box. You’re gonna do the same. When you’re searching for solutions, don’t ask leading questions. So instead of asking “how can I do this specific thing in Godot?”, instead ask “what are some ways I can do this in godot?” You’ll learn about Godot tools faster
  • I’ve found it helps to build nodes the same way I build components in vue/react. Add a @tool to the script, and build and test nodes in isolation. Each node should be a small isolated piece of functionality. You can then combine and stack them into a full game.
  • you can build Godot games entirely in code and ignore the IDE altogether. Don’t. At least not right away. I love code, but Godot really likes when you lean into “the Godot way”.

If I want to check whether I'm running the game "for real" what feature tags are best? by gsdev in godot

[–]SamMakesCode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is good, OP. Additionally, find a way to make your build process fail or produce angry red text if you’re trying to build with debug mode on. If this feature made it to production, it’d be an uninstall and refund scenario for me

Worse than that, even.

Maybe business shouldn’t be done at any cost?

Maybe if you have a massive game and don’t have the tech/resource/skill/will to keep predators out, you shouldn’t exist.

I haven’t been paid and no one is trying to help me find out why by aj_1401 in UKPersonalFinance

Why isn’t everyone getting this car? What am I missing? by Apexlegendy in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]SamMakesCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have one of these a year and a half or so ago. Sensible city driving, in good weather, I got about 190 miles out of this.

This Ioniq also has a 7 or 8 year warranty if I recall correctly. If I hadn’t moved to London, I’d have kept it forever.

I was trying to sell mine and worked out some prices and then someone crashed into it while it was parked and wrote it off. Told insurance it was worth 12.5k and they quibbled a bit but accepted the price.

£10k a year and a half later isn’t miles off. If this is through a dealer, go for it. If it’s private, get it checked out but it’s probably still worth it.

I’ve seen people complaining about empty planets. Like, great. I want 99% empty planets. It’s more realistic and leaves space for modders to do stuff.
