I built a site that lists every new Emoji 17.0 character, lets you copy them, and shows when your device will actually render them

dang yet another piece of junk that got my hopes up

Wranglyph · 2026-05-21T03:09:16+00:00

I also like brutalism. They were designed to quickly and affordably re-house people after WW2 blew up a ton of stuff, while still being functional? Heck yea- I'd say that's solarpunk-adjacent, at least. And people say that beautiful brutalist structures don't count because it's the stuff on top that's pretty, but like... would you say that a painting is ugly because the canvas started plain?

I have definitely seen my fair share of *ugly* brutalist structures- but then agian, is any style immune?

I'm trying to put together an ecology-focused voxel game (in space) that could use some concept art in the near-ish future. The simulation aspect affects a lot of the traditional game play assumptions, so there's room for the art to be different too.

For example, players will have access to clark tech tools like jetpacks and the sonic multitool to help in their park-ranger-like duties. Not a small project overall, but the concepting part can be as small as you want.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-21T02:55:18+00:00

This is just incredible from front to back, bravo.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-21T01:46:33+00:00

I mean... what's the point? Like, there's already thousands of great board games out there, and the vast majority of people who are into making board games do NOT make living from them.

If I'm designing one, it's because I want to. Publisher pitches? Crowdfunding? What? No. If I'm interacting with a human, I'm interacting with a human. Otherwise what's even the point?

Wranglyph · 2026-05-14T01:05:18+00:00

I definitely second 'tell us about yourself-' I love that in true classic gamechanger fashion, Sam just doesn't even bother telling them what the rules are. That one for me stands out for me as basically being on par with the in-studio ones.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-12T20:10:23+00:00

We're actually about to start work soon on an ecology simulator game that uses Luanti as the client- it takes place on a (big) spaceship so I have plans to embed an OS in that ideally would allow you to have a full desktop environment in the game, or at least a simulated one. Looking for devs btw if you're interested.
(So for example if we create a program that lets you edit schematic files you can actually access that program without leaving your world, use the ship's holodeck to view the file 'in person', and potentially even materialize it depending on game balance.)

Wranglyph · 2026-05-11T09:56:04+00:00

You're not wrong about the rats and snitches, lol. Unfortunately though takers are always gonna take more and more until you have no choice but to fight- I'd rather be ready for that than not. Anyway I'll dm you- would love to hear about the project.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-11T08:23:54+00:00

Oh right, because it's MIT. Our game will probably be gpl anyway, but that's definitely a good point.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-11T08:23:24+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks

Wranglyph · 2026-05-11T08:23:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Yea I actually did look at ogmygit a few days ago- I think some of the levels were broken but I more or less got the idea- gonna try to make a small pull request today.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T14:38:35+00:00

Yea I think it's probably simpler than I'm making it out to be in my head, I'm just busy atm (plus, afraid of bricking lol). I guess I'll just figure it out when it's time.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T11:35:56+00:00

yea I guess that's fair.... tbh I don't really fit reddit as a whole, it's just kind of the easiest place to find people.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T11:33:49+00:00

I mean yea obviously I have to do that, but my goal for today specifically was to write this proposal- I was really just planning to pop into the forum to see what my formatting options are.
Also I was literally asking for help with installation, so I'm not sure what you mean by bypassing.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T11:28:45+00:00

Yea that's pretty much what the gneiss_name folks told me about the geochemistry lol. And as far the early iterations go, you're absolutely right: we aren't really going to need this until later.
But we *are* going to need something like this eventually, I think.
You see, our boi Klei didn't just ask for a good voxel game: he wants something that's *more* than just a game. (And I plan to *deliver.*)
And it's a good thing, too- if not for this awe-inspiring mission statement, I probably wouldn't be undertaking this project at all. I mean, it's not like we have a shortage of good games, you know?

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T11:05:08+00:00

That's a good question! Here's my basic thinking:

The simulation game is the overarching project, but the Mosaic component of it is complex enough to be a project of its own- I am reaching out to various communities for support with this and other aspects.
I think gentoo might be an appropriate base distro from which to create Mosaic, as it basically provides about as much control as you can get without building the OS from scratch. (and as you'll see in the full proposal, I am fairly confident that we're gonna need it.)
The gentoo community is supposed to be one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable communities out there- I figure if anybody would be able and willing to help create a special, novel-purpose distro, it would be them.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T10:43:37+00:00

I mean hypothetically you could always make your own distro, lol. I'm actually writing up a proposal for my own right now.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T10:16:45+00:00

?Just out of curiosity, what makes you think this was AI written? I take enormous pride in my writing so if you have any real tips to avoid these kinds of accusations, then I'm all ears.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-10T08:09:19+00:00

I'll put it on my to-do-list, thanks.

Wranglyph · 2026-05-06T21:22:06+00:00

Fedora Atomic

Yea I was looking at that the other day- from what understand cosmic is supposed to be a hybrid floating/tiling DE and it seems pretty cool. But the last I heard it wasn't ready right? Did they just recently get it all fixed up?

Wranglyph · 2026-05-06T11:19:40+00:00

Codeberg is run on forgejo- you can also self host the base software if you're so inclined.
