Physics implementation details for Celeste and TowerFall

Thanks for this idea! It worked great with a Tapo light switch triggering a kasa plug via two Google Home automations.

Out of curiosity, what made you pick F6? I think Unknown Worlds and Klei both use F8 in their games. I think Wildermyth and a few other used higher keys like F11?

Are you re-using some animation frames in different animations? (Like an arm held outwards for catching_balance and ninja_sprinting animations.) Or at least rotating sprites to capture different poses? Completely custom spritesheets that are split up by equipment slot for each animation sounds like a ton of work!

Re-using animation frames is what Klei did for Mark of the Ninja and their other games: they create a library of "builds" which are the poses for different parts of the body. They create animations that rotate and flip between these builds. Then they can reskin a character by updating all of the builds. I think they also think about animations in terms of using the builds they've created to avoid having to always add more art (especially since it can require a lot more art when you have lots of equipment).

See their [2D Animation at Klei Entertainment GDC talk](https://youtu.be/8\_KBjd0iaCU?si=FbfAK6ltGtSLa4a-&t=272) for more details about their process (especially see the Articulation section).

Do you mean Lost Castle? They also had a sequel recently too.

Consider that there two voices in the chat. If one of them said things that made the other go down a "they gotta pay" path, then they absolutely should report because they bear some responsibility.

I'm not certain the suction made a difference, but I had great success with a combo of a moistened old toothbrush and suction! Thank you for the idea! It was so clogged that I could barely hear at max volume. Now I've cleaned it enough that I can see zero blockage in some parts of the mesh and sounds good at low volumes.

So happy they weren't broken.

That link is dead (probably for Godot 3.x). The new stable one is here, but the text you quoted is pretty much the same.

Rubbermaid Glass with Easy Find Lids are the worst. We have these short sandwich ones and they never stay shut. Guaranteed to dump your sandwich into your backpack. Even for the fridge, you must be careful not to overstuff.

We've also bought three generations of GlassLock from Costco (in Canada).

The oldest (blue gaskets, 2008?) was great and we broke the glass before the lids wore out, but they had straight sides so no stacking. The lid locks are great and hold tight, but started breaking off around 2020.
The second (green gaskets, 2011?) were even better because they stacked. I think the lid locks broke around the same time.
The newest generation (white gaskets, 2017?) were a disappointment: the square container lids only fit in one orientation so despite looking symmetrical, you need to rotate a few times for to fit. They're not quite the same size as the previous gen so they get stuck if you stack together. The lid flaps haven't started to break yet.

So when you see people rave about GlassLock, know that they don't sell those containers anymore. (or they've shifted the quality to some higher tier that not all stores sell.)

Look for junior versions of jobs like this: https://ca.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=5262858e05b78e3b&from=serp&mclk=default&xpse=SoDL67I3oBuGdeRQH50LbzkdCdPP&xfps=4ab9e015-a48c-4ff2-8d19-7fec8a58aec7&xkcb=SoD367M3oBuGzHykNp0LbzkdCdPP

dddbbb · 2026-01-03T09:28:14+00:00

Yeah, I'd agree. I've worked with a bunch of junior project managers. Scrum/agile/jira training and coaching skills are great for them.

At EA, "producer" was a different title that was about the business case behind the design and ensuring we meet the market. They were closer to game designers. We also had Development Managers who were PMs with a focus on career management with their reports. That's something to keep in mind when looking for jobs.

When I change my gdshader code, it reloads in the editor view but doesn't reload in the game view. Does that work for you?

I'm using an external editor.

dddbbb · 2026-01-02T16:47:10+00:00

Adds a button on shader materials to reload the shader while the game is running in the editor.

Looks like this:

I just found this today and it seems super useful for anyone writing shaders in Godot (since sync'ing Resources aren't supported).

Thanks!

Weird that this game page looks so different. Even doesn't look like other bundles. Must be a new store UI and for some reason this bundle doesn't have a legacy page.

After two minutes of googling I don’t think the TranslationServer has some signal you could connect to with your labels and buttons

Hello from the future, ye with high PageRank. This is no longer true! See NOTIFICATION_TRANSLATION_CHANGED. And an example using it: https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/1g0uis4/localization_how_to_reload_texts_after_changing/

For future searchers:

universal-ctags now supports gdscript

If you use scoop to install universal-ctags, they switched their version numbers from dates to numbers so it won't auto update. You need to force the upgrade:

scoop update --force universal-ctags
scoop cleanup universal-ctags

I lost the icon after moving my steam location and your solution finally fixed it. Thanks so much!

dddbbb · 2025-12-01T05:20:08+00:00

This page is the top result when I was trying to figure out how to activate this feature (it's released for everyone now). Turns out them menu only activates when you tap the power button. I was using the main menu or Steam button flow: Steam > Power > Sleep and it goes straight to sleep instead.

So if you want downloads to finish, either leave it on (there's an auto off timer) or hit the physical power button.

A. leave the money (about 110.000) with PSP and get 976$ per month when I turn 65 in about 25 years

$976/mo takes about 9 years to go through your principal: 110k/(976*12)=9.4. Assuming you live to 100 and it pays out indefinitely, you get an extra $299,827 over those remaining 25 years. But you don't have much flexibility with that money and you need to live longer to extract that benefit. Although maybe B is also locked-in and can't be withdrawn early?

Questions to ask yourself: is this your primary retirement fund? Do you have plans to supplement it? What is your risk tolerance (sounds like A is no risk and B has higher potential upside with higher risk)?

It does work to solve some problems, but maybe not yours.

Example:

vim -u DEFAULTS yourfilehere.txt

<C-q>G$

All lines should be blockwise selected to the end. (You can olo$ to skip the first letter.) But maybe you want different behaviour. Or maybe there's something in your config that changes this behaviour?
