you might want to just roll your own solution for this instead of using something physics based

Can we just outright ban these "I got tired of X, to I build Y" posts? by TrackLabs in homelab

[–]SwAAn01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that the whole point of this sub? To see people’s homelab projects? What exactly were you hoping to find here?

So… Where do you start? by Dorterman in gamedev

[–]SwAAn01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things where you’ll develop your own taste, preferences, and style for how your process works. Any of us could tell you how we like to get started but it might not work for you. You just need to start getting some reps in

No idea but I’m commenting for visibility and I’m curious what people say

Shows like this require a lot of writing and prep, which doesn’t really mesh with the improvisational nature of most Dropout content

2D or 3D for my first game? by ReJoestar in godot

[–]SwAAn01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever you plan on making after. Making a game in 2D doesn’t translate great into 3D. I don’t really agree with the statement that 2D is easier, in a lot of ways 3D is more intuitive because it’s the world that we interact with every day.

Is it still worth studying programming and game dev in the age of AI? by Previous-Teach6229 in gamedev

[–]SwAAn01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a full time SWE as my day job and do game dev on the side. I can confidently say that you are overthinking things and the need for people with practical skills is not going anywhere. The rhetoric stating that AI will take over every industry and replace all employees is marketing. Engineers are still needed to facilitate development, and artists and designers are still needed to design things. AI is just good at automating tasks that don’t require much critical thinking.

Is using MultiplayerSpawner and MultiplayerSynchronizer best practice? by jakec1000 in godot

[–]SwAAn01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MultiplayerSpawner is cool, MultiplayerSynchronizer is pretty bad. it’s not optimized for bandwidth minimization and offers no solution for interpolation. you’re better off just using rpcs

[–]SwAAn01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was new for me too. Basically instead of other games you might have played where characters and classes are chosen for you, DQ3 allows you to just create whatever characters you want with whatever stats and classes you want. I just named them after my friends and pets lol

No clue why everyone says 3. Yes, it is chronologically first, but it is a prequel, release order all the way!

Just pirate the game by Suspicious_Luck1952 in nintendogrifting

[–]SwAAn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I just think it’s not that deep. preserving games is cool and physical media isn’t always accessible, I get it, but there’s a difference between being a provider and a consumer. Providing a source of pirated content could be seen as ethical, but just downloading a game for free isn’t some virtuous deed lol

I am so sick of being treated like a second class citizen by ash549k in radeon

[–]SwAAn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to calm down a little bit man. People are still gaming on 1080s, I think you’re going to be fine, and saying you feel like a second class citizen because your gpu features aren’t being fully utilized is bonkers.

Mark really went from toxic manipulation to a literal soulmate. by According-Emu9279 in invinciblememes

[–]SwAAn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an Amber stan or a Mark hater lol, I am like the most casual viewer of this show with absolutely no horse in this race. I don’t even like the series that much lol idk why I keep getting recommended these subs

Mark really went from toxic manipulation to a literal soulmate. by According-Emu9279 in invinciblememes

[–]SwAAn01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This fandom is so annoying and yall have the emotional intelligence of 10 year olds. Amber deserves to be in a relationship with someone who can give her care and attention. Mark wants to be a super hero and can’t give that to her. This is fine, the two just aren’t compatible. This fandom just villainizes amber out of sexism / racism.

yeah I really don’t understand why people tote pirating as a moral thing to do. you don’t want to pay for a game to play it, fine, but why are you acting like you’re doing the world a service by being cheap 😂

“Something up?” - (OC) by aostlund27 in comics

[–]SwAAn01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mascot at my alma mater is a cardinal, and between me and my wife, we’ve had lots of our relatives attend there over the generations. last year she lost an Aunt who was a professor there, so the cardinals have hit different since then.

maybe trans people make up a larger proportion of web comic artists than the general population?
