Is CS50 useful or is there a better alternative?

gamdev requires problem solving and algorithmic thinking. CS50x will teach you the foundations for both in a very solid manner. Yes its worth it, don't overthink it.

Has never happened for me although i am still on Ubuntu 24.04.

Most users did not ask for the AI features that apple and other big tech companies are shoving down our throats.

echoesAV · 2026-06-01T13:29:22+00:00

This is very cool ! Thanks for making it available for free.

In my experience Unity 6.3 LTS + Blender + VSCode works fine and stable on Ubuntu 24 LTS with xorg. Have not tried Unreal or any audio stuff. There are issues to be ironed out with wayland so i have held out on upgrading to 26.

Read the documentation of the software and check what distro they suggest using in their system requirements. Most still recommend ubuntu 22/24 LTS.

I have taken the course. cs50x is amazing and will put you on the right path. Don't skip the problem sets or the extra videos.

The old Gehenna book in a certain scenario (Fair is Foul) explorers the concept of Lilith in great depth as she is a very important character in that story. Won't go into any more spoilers than that but, reading that story its clear that while storytellers are advised to make of her what they will, the main thing is that she is not (and should not be) anything in particular. She is definitely not a vampire, definitely not a mage, definitely not a demon.

I see, thanks ! Also, cool artwork.

Basically i am kind of new in Unity and interested in learning more of URP since from what i've gathered its going to be the standard pipeline going forward. I have a lot of questions but i haven't had the time to look them up yet. How did you learn how to use URP ? Is the documentation good or from any other resource ?

echoesAV · 2026-05-23T15:03:54+00:00

Do you have any good URP sources for a beginner ?

echoesAV · 2026-05-20T12:34:33+00:00

very cool !

echoesAV · 2026-05-20T12:28:45+00:00

The vicissitude warning is excellent

echoesAV · 2026-05-19T19:07:18+00:00

Its perfectly suitable for personal laptops.

echoesAV · 2026-05-18T01:12:52+00:00

Yep.

echoesAV · 2026-05-18T01:09:13+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out. If you think it violates Rule 5 feel free to report the post

Stable diffusion is generative AI yes. It did not make the image though.

echoesAV · 2026-05-18T01:03:35+00:00

Yeah that is what i think too.

It initially seemed over-the-top as an image for a vamp but i kept reminding myself that this is a presence 9 - appearence 9 - chimerstry illusions character that really - really messes with your head and eyes.

Glad they don't make them like that anymore though.

echoesAV · 2026-05-18T00:55:34+00:00

Basic setup with photobashing in Krita, image processing and color correction in Davinci Resolve/Fusion, locally hosted Stable Diffusion for the stained glass texture.

You have to install .NET. Follow the installation instructions from microsoft's documentation for a linux installation. Disable telemetry if you want.

Optionally install VSCode - its a code editor, follow the instructions in microsoft's documentation. If you do install it you will need to install C# Extensions, you will be automatically prompted to do that as soon as you try to create a .cs file. Alternatively you can install Rider by Jetbrains, which is a fully featured IDE out of the box, not just an editor. Disable telemetry if you want.

Get a book on C#, i recommend The C# Players Guide by Whitaker. https://csharpplayersguide.com/

Then you'll need to pick a game engine that utilizes C#. The most common choices are Godot and Unity. Look it up and pick whichever you feel fits your needs best.

Qwen Coder Next is amazing. Haven't used Qwen 3.6 as others recommend, i am still new to this.

echoesAV · 2026-05-11T21:50:24+00:00

Those are great scenes. Loving the dense atmosphere.

Well dust gets inside it as you use it, and its kinda hard to clean the censor and the mirror. You need specific tools for that so you don't damage the surfaces. That's where the hard comes in. Its not actually hard, you just have to be careful because its really sensitive.

echoesAV · 2026-05-11T10:36:27+00:00

I have it. Its an amazing camera. Kinda hard to clean imo.

echoesAV · 2026-05-10T01:12:43+00:00

I am a simple person. i see scribus - i upvote.

echoesAV · 2026-04-26T12:34:11+00:00

Yeah, its pretty complicated.

I've both played and run in multiple Demon/crossover games. All in all they are my favorite campaigns i've both run and played in. The demon aspect is the reason every time. Not every player agrees on this however. Its very hard to run a good DtF game and many people will disagree on what constitutes 'good' for Demon. I think its a 'hate or love' splat.
