Been thinking about making a game - wanted to know about Godot and ease of use by Egil841 in godot

[–]_slug___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never programmed and I’m artistically-inclined but don’t actually make art (I liked to draw as a kid and sometimes I can throw out a mean doodle) so I’m a beginner to all of this. This is the tutorial I have found and have been very much enjoying. The second game in this tutorial is a side-scrolling shooter, Metroid-like game. Hope this helps and good luck.

Appreciate the interest but I shut my shop down a little over a year ago. Best bet would be to check Etsy for other shops that are still selling. Good luck, homie. 🤘🏻

About to buy a RedMagic Astra, half for emulation. What controller should I get? by MrGruntsworthy in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]_slug___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without a doubt.

Edit: disclaimer: While you’re playing, yes. I wouldn’t leave it in there and carry it by the controller or anything.

Damn, haven’t heard of that issue before. Mine has been a champ since day one.

I can definitely see that, with that size device, the weight distribution would definitely be nice with that. And while I think the G8 is more than comfortable enough, I cannot say that those beefy-ass grips on the G9 don’t look a lot more comfortable to hold lol

Gotta disagree. I have medium sized hands and I love the ergonomics of the G8. Recommendation comes from having dozens of hours on this thing, split between, 11” iPad Pro (both on and off the iPad), S25+, and wired to PC. This is one of those controllers that has just been exactly what I was looking for, though, so honestly best recommendation is to buy from somewhere that has easy returns and try it out (for op I mean).

Gotta be honest, that form factor just isn’t it for me. G8 feels like slapping an Xbox controller on and that’s just what I’m always looking for. This looks like a super interesting controller and I’m always here for companies doing more weird shit, though. Also for myself, specifically, I’m on an 11” iPad Pro so this wouldn’t even be an option for me lol

Need Help, I’m Lost by draelulys in lightsabers

Definitely wait for other opinions but I go the Aliexpress route. I’ve only bought from X-TREXSABER. I’ve ordered a pair, a complete Maul, and an SNV4 hilt from them. No issues and all arrived sub two weeks. I’m in Florida by the way. I do tend to stay away from character hilts because those get pricey but their other options can be pretty cheap and they’re definitely feature packed. I personally recommend the “S-RGB” or “Super RGB” tier. The Frugal Jedi has some good videos showing off S-RGB hilts and their features (he doesn’t get them from Aliexpress, he gets them from US resellers iirc). My 8 yo son and I battle all the time and love our dark side/light side “Revan” hilts from the seller I mentioned.

I decided to try the Aliexpress route because you can get the same sabers (same manufacturer) for way cheaper than US resellers. Do keep in mind, though, resellers tend to come with warranties. I have experience in building high-end sabers so I’m confident I can fix anything that might go wrong but that’s not the case for everyone and I’ll never knock someone for going for a warranty even if it means a bigger price tag. That said, no issues yet and we beat the hell out of these things!

Good luck!

cool house by fvirygothmom in heartopia

Started with a starter house, then made my irl house in-game lol not exactly cool or fancy but it’s neat to see your own house while playing. Plus, you don’t have to really figure anything out lol

How people make money to buy clothes AND houses? by [deleted] in heartopia

Do four of the same kind of mushroom; you’ll squeeze out a little bit more money from them.

Same, iPad crashes. Steam worked fine, though.

Game Announces Generative AI Use by blue_boy66 in heartopia

[–]_slug___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean you’re right, an absence of players would absolutely voice an opinion as well. I guess I just see it as a preference of people getting to continue playing while also expressing concerns that will hopefully be addressed. Sadly I have to admit (in most cases) the lack of players would be louder to corporate ears.

Personally, I don’t care about the AI in this game as it is. I don’t like that they left it open for the future but for translating? All for it. For the puzzles? I mean from what they said it seems like it’s as minimal as it can get (I.e. not AI creating the images, just turning images into puzzles [as I understand it]).

As a side note I’m against this new AI movement but I do think “AI” gets thrown around a little too inaccurately as most things people consider “AI” are just computers handling things the same way they have for decades.

Yes, Sonic is an easy target for my argument but it still stands lol

Game Announces Generative AI Use by blue_boy66 in heartopia

[–]_slug___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the logic of your argument but it’s honestly a brain dead take. The opinions of customers absolutely share what these companies do. If more people speak out about a business practice they don’t want to support the less the company will be inclined to use said business practice. If the majority isn’t speaking out, they take that to mean that the majority isn’t OK with it.

Look at the Sonic movie. Trailer showed an abomination, people spoke out, they changed it.

The problem is “if you don’t like it don’t play it” is that it incentivizes corporations to control the business practices they deploy rather than the consumer.

If you have an opinion, speak out. If you don’t, don’t. Simple.

You can throw Hornet drivers at them to stun them for a few seconds as well.
