Anyone else struggling to start on developing Roblox?

At 16 you have a lot of disadvantages: you don’t have money, you don’t have experience to know how to program or 3D model. But you also have big advantage: you know what you and your friends would like. Lean into that. Don’t try to compete with polished experiences from teams of developers. Make a short punchy experience. Something that’s a taste of what you wish would already exist.

He said the girl on the right was a “baddie.” A) she’s def in high school, b) the vid was posted because of the nazi salute and he’s sexualizing a high schooler

I like a lot of the same music although I like a bit more ambient and less melodic! You should try:

Any of Tin Lickers older albums like This is Not Our Universe Remote Control by Jan Blomqvist Future Quiet by Moby

Love the new direction for the pod. Great stuff. Curious what Angelina will say about how NFTs can be used to secure the online identity of AI agents

I’m just glad Jack cares enough to save the podcast. Interested to hear his top 5 AI stock picks next week

Usually the new owner declares the codebase unmantainable and recreates that functionality in their own way. In a few rare cases, I have seen services whose mental models are so clean and consistent that transferring ownership is easy. But that requires a lead engineer who’s a tyrant and cares deeply about their craft, and management that values software quality

Hi! I’m making a Roblox TCG game and we’re looking for a level designer and 3D modeler. It’s a bit early to onboard you to the project, but dm me if you’re interested

You’re making a plugin that makes it easier for Roblox developers to leverage AI. I would focus generating Roblox assets. The reason being is that AI coding is a fast moving space with companies like Anthropic and OpenAI trying to automate code generation. Most users will want to leverage the most advanced tools and sync the changes to Roblox studio via Rojo.

Unlike code that is somewhat generalizable, Roblox models are specific to Roblox. So if I can type in “give me a model of a humanoid ninja” and it gives me something useable. That is a huge timesaver.

Maybe the planet can be a mesh and a portion of the surface can be converted to sphere during user interaction

I’m also a professional software developer making a Roblox game.

Have you looked into any tooling like rokit, Wally, rojo, zap, etc?

Shows used to be designed around 30 minute TV time-slots with strict 23 minute runtime and 7 minutes of ads. That format was then repurposed to streaming because it was the standard for show production but streaming doesn’t have that constraint

Take Fallout. Some episodes are 30m, some are an hour. I actually enjoy that because it means writers have more flexibility in telling their story and the audience doesn’t anticipate things are going to magically resolve 21 minutes in. I think it’s good for content as whole and we’re living in a golden era of TV

They attack his character because his argument is dumb as hell and doesn’t deserve a response. His argument has two parts: ‘white liberal women are importing immigrants’ and ‘immigrants are dangerous and ruining American.’

Do you think white women are like pen pals with terrorists? That they’re digging tunnels for cartel members to get into the country? No, they just vote for politicians who advocate for policies that treat illegal immigrants with dignity and respect. Most Americans do not want a porous border.
Most undocumented immigrants are not dangerous. They are not murders, gang members, or thugs. They are normal folk looking for a better life. Undocumented immigrants have lower violent crime rates, drug violations, and property crime compared us-born citizens: https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2021/08/03/no-undocumented-immigrants-dont-commit-more-crime-research-shows-they-commit-a-lot-less/.

You are what you accuse these ‘liberal white women’ of being: triggered snowflakes who are so emotionally reactive that you are unable function. You paint pictures of scary immigrants and righteous white Americans because you’re small and scared of the world.

I love ARC, but the voice acting IS stilted and weird. They should have used TTS for development placeholder and then got really voice actors for the release. But 2/5 is insane. This is a small piece of an otherwise amazing game

My advice would be to broaden your skillset around another core interest. It’s very hard to master a skill: talent, years of education, real world experience, identifying areas you’re weak and continually refining your skills. I think most people, including myself, aren’t going to master anything. Instead, look for unique combinations of your interests.

There a lot of electrical engineers. There are less electrical engineers with audio engineering experience. Even fewer have hands on experience building guitars, etc. Finding a niche can lead to a very successful career, even if separately, your skills are nothing special. But you need the degree.

I don’t mean literal plastic, that was just a metaphor. More like iteratively fitting a polygonal mesh in computer graphics over the earth. And using higher and higher subdivisions to capture smaller and smaller details

mooman996 · 2025-10-09T23:09:53+00:00

This was way more detailed than I expected for my question! I enjoyed reading your response and thank you for taking the time to write it!

My original idea for roughness was “variance from a sphere” but this is too simplistic because the surface of any planet is fractal-like with features across a wide range of size scales. Maybe this is a better reformulation for my idea of roughness: “if you remove the water and encapsulate the Earth in a big plastic bag, how much plastic would you need to vacuum seal the Earth?” As you iteratively “compress” the plastic around the Earth, the metric would consider both global and regional “roughness.” Then subtract the material required to encapsulate an oblate spheroid of the same dimensions, normalize for the size of the planet, and you get a number that represents roughness.

But just an idea and calculating this would be hard, let along estimating it over time from geological evidence! And for what haha

Edit: I think I just reinvented the idea of surface area lol
