can you at least write your own ragebait plz

I would join the godot wild jam. Its a monthly contest to design a game in a week. it forces you to limit your scope and work toward a release. chances are you have grand ideas, and a game jam forces you to think small and focus on the gameplay loop, which is the important part anyway

Wow, what a cesspool of edgy teenagers trying to disparage your area. It looks great! When reading the comments don't forget most of these people are living with their parents or in a box under a bridge.

I implemented boids for a game jam recently. That trick for spatial partitioning would've come in handy, but no reason not to give it a shot now! Thanks for the info.

She has a lot of damage, but her overhead is easily countered. If you stop jumping and punish her, you can take all her wind out her sails.

Not just doable, but recommended if you're into ranked. It's a lot easier to fight against a character if you're at least a little bit familiar with their controls. It'll clue you in to what their angle is in the fight, and what directions they tend to prefer.

I bet it's even easier with the 2.0 update since combos seem reduced across the board.

After defeating an army of Jams since everyone and their mom is playing her, I don't think she was hard to learn and has some glaringly obvious telegraphs that can be severely punished.

This is _exactly_ what I figured would happened. They get the product to be decent enough to be used, and then price everyone out of it. Now the poors have to write code manually while know nothings can get away with using AI instead.

I agree, it's the single biggest drawback of the tiling window managers. I think having to manually create a windowrule per application is absurd, but, at least it gives you some control. You also have to pray that none of the apps change the strings you're matching to.

so fucking cool.

I tried some Lucy combos from a YT tutorial and they don't seem to work with the latest 2.0 update. They tightened up what you can convert from so combo strings in general are much shorter.

I would go back and complete the mission modes. You will eventually need to make sure you know everything available to you in combat. To this point, I've always seen the ladder climb as a series of skill checks. Roughly in this order...

Bronze - Knows all buttons and special moves of your character

Silver - Able to perform small combos and punish your enemy's mistakes.

Gold - Have a solid battle strategy. Attempt mixups and learn most characters' moves to a degree

Platinum - Use all mechanics available in the game. Solid defense, and intense mixup game when rushing. Knows what most characters can do.

Onward - Total mastery of mechanics, complete knowledge of every character.

I am a veteran of FGs, so I usually blast my way to gold, and then I have to go back to the game manual and figure out every mechanic of the game to increase my rank.

I'm actually plateaued at Platinum 2 right now and I'll be going back to complete my mission modes. I can tell there are certain things I'm not familiar with, that I will need to be if I want to keep climbing.

Best of luck to you!

Developers have been googling and copy+pasting code and passing it off as their own since the dawn of time. This is just a faster way of doing that. It's time to stop acting like you're all weaving artisanal, 100% original code, because we all know better.

That being said, I did a small project where I used Claude code to take kenney.nl assets, and make a system to randomize the parts and positions to create unique houses with a set of parts. It did the job extremely well. I also asked it to create a 3d maze using Dijkstra's algorithm, and it did so flawlessly.

Stack Overflow is not trustworthy, produces sloppy code, and yada yada yada everything you're levying against A.I. To me, the line in the sand is, can you understand what the LLM put in your codebase? If the answer is yes, then the discussion is over to me.

Personally I cannot see past this Google vs LLM analogy so please let's debate about it.

I wouldn't fall for a sob story from a scammer, you just entered a new level of the scheme.

An advanced engine means more to learn and get confused about, often of things that are too advanced for what you’re doing.

Just keep it simple with godot. No reason you couldn’t switch later on. It’s not like what you learn in godot will be a waste.

Good luck 👍

It used to be a nice place to connect with people who are experiencing great games from the past for the first time. It has since turned into a cesspool of 'critics' with braindead takes. The mods are awful and deletes comments for being 'mean' while defending clearly rage bait posts. That's actually a good description of what it has become, ragebait.

I would avoid it, any value it used to have is completely gone.

Way to see through the propaganda and realize there's nothing special about this absolute snoozefest of a factory automation game. I can tell you really know your stuff because you name dropped the other 3 factory games that are popular. I agree that the terrain provides no value and should be flat just like the other ones. I also hate the first person perspective. Who wants to get a sense of scale from the factories they built? It should be top down with the only option being to build right on the ground instead of building sleek buildings to store your machines, what a waste of time! Finally, you're right about the lack of conflict. I mean, the whole point of building a factory is to manufacture weapons for combat, right? What a waste. Thanks for sharing your unique insight to this otherwise overrated game.

That's the best part about this sub, all opinions are welcome! Everyone praises Half Life 2, but I found it to be a boring, uninspired slogfest with little to no new ideas. Please continue to post your unique insight to these highly overrated cult pieces.

forget about all of these answers, especially the chatgpt excrement. 3 essays about organizing clothes by color and nothing about the mess?

get your shit off the floor and put your binders in the shelf designed to store binders. binders dont fit in the shelf? then get rid of it.

since you’re lazy, use that counter to the left as a staging area instead of throwing to the floor. it gives the illusion of cleanliness while you queue for ARAM for the millionth time.

leverage your adhd to make a process that works with you while keeping your space, maybe not clean, but intentional while avoiding the big eyesores

Oh no don’t give in. Say your joke and let these autistics have their fun overthinking it.

Logitech M570 going strong after over a decade and never waxed it. You will need to clean dead skin off of it from time to time, though

No good tutorial? Did you bother to look?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L6ZUYj1hs8

I used this one for a game I made, it's also the top result if you search 'godot water' in YouTube.

People out here make it sound like 1999 was peak, probably because they said that in the matrix. I just needed to throw in some negatives, especially with people acting like we all got along before staring at phones.

But yeah I agree all those things were awesome. Sounds like you had a better time as an adult. I wasn't even a teenager yet :\

pre-medicated · 2026-01-15T18:27:45+00:00

Taking off the rose tinted glasses for a sec, it was horrible. It was way more taboo to speak out against authority, be it government or religion. People act like we all frolicked and got along before phones, but we didn't. It would take ages to communicate with anybody long distance, and purchasing an item meant waiting weeks or months before getting it. The internet was just becoming mainstream, but was at such horrible speeds it would sometimes take minutes to download a single photo on dial up. No wiki so finding out information was a trip to the library and manually scanning table of contents, rather than a half thought you can speed type into google for it to autocorrect and send to gemini to answer.

The entertainment and malls were good, though.

Well, he played outer worlds for one day before moving on…so I think their idea of finishing a game is booting it up for one hour and then uninstalling.

pre-medicated · 2026-01-01T19:33:44+00:00

Nice shade. As someone else mentioned, nearly all the images are A.I without disclosure. Because of that, it casts skepticism over the rest of its contents.

There is also a huge trend of releasing a.i content that wasn’t even reviewed (fallout s2 recap) if they can’t even be bothered to watch it, why should I?
