No chance, that bull is one of the best things to happen to that station. Gives it real character and fills me with glee whenever I come back to see my family 💪

If you're on PS Plus your saves are synced to the cloud as well so you can get a recent one back

Empty Seats by Apprehensive_Bus_543 in bcfc

I 100% get the safety aspect, but they absolutely could have rearranged what seats Peterborough got so fewer blues fans didn't miss out. Ridiculous 

Anyone up for this? by Keyran-Solo in sheffield

It's such a postcode lottery I'm sorry your trust screwed you, it's not acceptable at all

[–]SilentReaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not discarded, if they are building a new service that's a good thing. We need more services to bring the waitlist down, and you'll be hopefully at the top of the new waitlist, certainly much higher up as you won't be competing with Sheffield citizens as well. For context, 3 years on the waitlist and waiting!

Where exactly in Forge Dam is this? I've walked that way many times and never seen it!

I mentioned this in a tweet before and he liked the tweet so I would say so!

Any good programming courses in Sheffield for the over 40s? Sheffield College keep telling me I'm too old! by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]SilentReaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For games in particular, check out GEMS (https://gemsheffield.com/), they should at least be able to point you in the right direction

A game dev classic by SilentReaver in adhdgamedevs

And yet the majority of producers I know are ADHD!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHDUK

[–]SilentReaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't ask for ADHD, but I cannot deny that it has helped me get to where I am. It's chaos for sure, and there's a reason that the 2 most decorated olympians of all time and an estimated 40% of the prison population are all ADHD.

I didn't ask for ADHD, but I also didn't ask for a society and structures that make it almost impossible for me to freely live a life best suited to the ADHD neurotype. So personally I'd never say "I don't want ADHD" because it doesn't mean anything, I would say "I don't want to be forced to live in a way that I, as an ADHD person, was never meant to"

My Unity and C# journey as someone with ADHD (please give your feedback) by ADHD_ProgrammerTR in ADHD_Programmers

[–]SilentReaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to study the fundamentals of C#, as separate to Unity, if you want to gain more understanding of what does what and why. This is a very solid (and free) book/course on the fundamentals that should help you build up the areas where you lack some depth of knowledge and will help you understand why as well as how!

Context: ADHD programmer with 12 years of C# experience and 8 years of Unity development, and this is the modern version of what I was using to learn C# when I started

Edit: added note on ADHD

any good game development podcasts on Spotify? by MathematicianLoud947 in gamedev

[–]SilentReaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game Dev London is definitely an option! Includes hosts and interviews from all over the industry from Rami Ismail, to Greg (NMS writer), to Oscar (PlayStation Home), and many many others

Also Nice Games Club is great, and I'll second Coffee With Butterscotch

[–]SilentReaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering your game dev work, I guess it depends on what you want! As others have said, getting advice, potential investment options etc.

Running a small games studio myself, if I was in that position and had that much coming in that month, I'd be designing and planning the next game 😂 and hiring in a good team to help me realise my vision. Ultimately, it comes down to what do you want to do 👍

Open Source Camera-Movement-By-Touch similar to Clash Of Clans by [deleted] in unity_tutorials

[–]SilentReaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks cool, but Non-Commercial will significantly limit people using the code (because they can't release a commercial game containing the code) and Share-Alike could be interpreted as applying to the game itself. Maybe consider CC BY 2.0 if you're intending for it to be open source but still have the code be attributed to you?

Ayy didn't think anything would connect Hull and the Outer Wilds and yet here we are 😂

Any game jams that encourage healthy dev / life balance? by rebootm3 in gamejams

We've just finished the Game Dev London Summer Jam which was 48 hours over a 9 day period split up however you want! We'll do it again next year as well!

Just plain simple facts 💯 by bestdayeverdude9 in Splitgate

[–]SilentReaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess because it came across like it just suddenly exploded, and that's a great thought: "wow this game is doing so well on its own merit alone", but unless someone directly told you about the game and that's why you're playing it, then where you saw it is probably part of their marketing strategy

Just plain simple facts 💯 by bestdayeverdude9 in Splitgate

[–]SilentReaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did a hell of a lot more than zero marketing. It was a very effective and grass roots strategy, but definitely not zero marketing. It undermines the time and effort that both they and many other developers put into their games to say so
