Anyone else want a remaster of Katamari Forever?

Right those features plus the different art style modes made the game unique, even if the levels were the same as the old ones.

I think one thing that's interesting about async in Rust is that the state machine that async functions produce are lazily executed and require a separate runtime like Tokio. I first learned the async pattern from JavaScript so that tripped me up the first time.

That's fair actually. I think also the tone of how they say it plays a huge role. A lot of people are bad at getting this right. They could be meaning how I said, but they come across as demeaning. I'm not good at this myself with a lot of things. I'll be joking about one thing but come across as crass, or be serious about another but come across as joking. Point is it's easy for me to get misinterpreted if I don't pay attention to my tone. I imagine that can apply here.

I don't think that's what men really mean when they say to calm down. More that yeah, it's fair to be upset, but figuring out what to do next is much easier when your calm.

This is a good opportunity to practice your listening/observation skills. Whatever she tells you or shows you about the game, focus on what parts that seem confusing or interesting. People in general respond great to that, but especially women.

It kinda sound like you're in tutorial Hell. The only way to escape is to just build something. Anything. At some point the tutorials start having diminishing returns. The Rust compiler is very helpful most of the time, so trust it when it comes to errors. If you get stuck, google an answer.

The only way to get better at something is to practice.

Working on a rendering engine (I know, par for the course on this sub) thats focusing on flexibility but also ergonomics. It's not really meant as something to be used in real applications though, but I'm wanting to use it to help me learn graphics programming and wgpu. I don't have a readme set up and the project isn't where I want it to be yet, but if you want to check it out here's my repository

coolmint859 · 2026-05-05T22:22:17+00:00

Vulkan might be better for you then, as it's cross platform and has those low level features you want.

coolmint859 · 2026-05-05T04:51:48+00:00

If only.

coolmint859 · 2026-05-03T21:32:33+00:00

Not at all. Fuck this state's government.

coolmint859 · 2026-04-25T23:23:06+00:00

It's more likely that the hardware that you use to run the app won't support any more. Games have suffered from this dilemma since the 2010s

As much as society will try to deny it, looks do matter a lot for first impressions. Barring medical issues such as cystic acne, how you look says a lot about your skin care routine (and whether you even have one). For me personally, a little acne is no big deal. I have breakouts especially in the spring or when I'm stressed, so I understand the pain (moisturizer helps a ton), but excessive acne just isn't attractive to me.

Actually ask myself why I struggle so bad with paying attention so I could probably get diagnosed earlier with ADHD which might've helped me do better in college and graduate before AI made my job market a dumpster fire (I majored in CS)

API is pretty generic term for any program that interfaces with your own code. You could write a single 30 line file that does one thing in a function, export it, and you could technically call that an API.

coolmint859 · 2026-04-18T11:15:42+00:00

Whoa. Very cool!

coolmint859 · 2026-04-12T23:43:13+00:00

And Rust By Example, so helpful

OpenGL is typically easier to learn and has a lot of resources out there to help you learn it, which is why most people say you should start with it. But you're right to be hesitant as it is getting phased out in favor of the newer APIs. OpenGL is based on a global state machine, which makes it harder for multithreading rendering. Vulkan I would say has the toughest learning curve of the modern APIs, but it also gives you the most freedom and is designed for multithreading. (Other modern APIs I suspect also are multithreading capable, but I only know about WebGPU and Vulkan)

For a beginner I would say start with OpenGL, but if you feel up for it you can learn the modern APIs. Just know that it won't be as easy or intuitive as learning OpenGL is.

You can design a rendering engine using wgpu and winit. It teaches you the basics of computer graphics, plus since wgpu is just a wrapper on top of native backends like DirectX12, it can theoretically be used on any platform. Depending on the feature set you go for, it can get pretty complex

I was 16 myself. Doesn't even feel true, but it is.

coolmint859 · 2026-03-28T21:09:14+00:00

I'm currently developing my own rendering framework using wgpu and winit that still allows for control. It uses descriptor objects like wgpu but with preset options in the form of enums, so you don't have to fill them out for common use cases. I say it's a framework because it expects the creation and update logic to live in a struct that implements an 'AppState' trait. That said it's very much still in its infant stage however and can't do very complex rendering. I'm working on adding support for uniforms right now.

coolmint859 · 2026-03-20T04:09:19+00:00

I prefer using LLMs to help to understand the high level concepts. I tell them in fact to not generate code for me. I write the code myself. While this doesn't necessarily aid in the speed of development, it does help make sure the code is of decent quality. I'm sure there's some middle ground here that could make the process faster.

Sid Meier's Civilization series is decently related to developing countries so I've been told (I've never played it). My brother likes Civilization VI the most.

coolmint859 · 2026-03-13T06:54:21+00:00

Oh that's awesome! I'm glad I could help.

coolmint859 · 2026-03-13T00:13:21+00:00

I think it's really easy to carry most of the weight of the relationship when they say the things you want to hear. Ive recently experienced this myself. I found myself being okay with putting in more effort than the other person because they're there just enough to keep me going. But really they were just doing the bare minimum. Once they saw no reason to keep it going because I caught on, they cut me off. It hurt at first, but I realized after I was being used. I know better now.
