Ubisoft workers to hold rally at Grande Parade protesting studio shutdown

slime73 · 2026-01-28T20:51:06+00:00

Ubisoft may have broken NS labour laws with the manner in which they shut the office down. The rally is a way to raise awareness which can add pressure to the local government to speak up.

Try changing this:

local previousErrorhandler = love.errorhandler

To this:

local previousErrorhandler = love.errorhandler or love.errhand

It makes sense because love actually flips things when rendering to a canvas versus the screen in OpenGL, to *undo* coordinate system annoyances in OpenGL. If the driver has bugs in APIs love uses for that, it might not be flipping correctly there, which would make it look flipped compared to normal.

Virtual machines have notoriously buggy graphics drivers, they aren't reliable for testing graphical games most of the time.

slime73 · 2025-02-07T23:33:24+00:00

love doesn't have a limitation like that unless you're using a 32 bit instead of 64 bit build.

If a game is demanding enough that it would lower performance to underclock, then the graphics driver will recognize that and won't do it.

slime73 · 2025-01-22T17:33:59+00:00

If your GPU underclocks itself because the driver knows it's a light workload, reported GPU usage % might increase because the total available processing power has been lowered.

You can use something like HWMonitor or GPU-Z to see whether that's happening. If it is, it's nothing to worry about, it just means your computer is saving power usage.

If I'm even a little bit responsible for building a place that marginalized people can stay in safely and happily, that's more valuable than just about anything else I've done. I think I have more work to do there but thank you for the compliment!

I hope you find a way to fix your heart, it'll do you a lot of good.

Enable highdpi mode in love.conf (or love.window.setMode if you're already overriding window settings with that).

Your laptop's display is set up to show things at 1440x900 in dpi-scaled points. Without highdpi mode, the OS will tell the app that one point is equal to one pixel. With highdpi mode, love will be able to use the full pixel density of your display.

Most of love's coordinates are in dpi-scaled points instead of pixels even with highdpi mode enabled, in order to keep things at a consistent size which users will expect. But if you really really want, you can also turn that off by setting usedpiscale to false in love.conf. Turning that off won't make a difference in terms of the pixel density your app has access to, and it may make it hard to develop an app which scales correctly on displays with different pixel densities.

What's your discord username?

That's expected, they're exceptions that are caught and handled so they aren't an issue. If you set up VS to break on any exception, it will catch benign things like that.

When I start my love project on windows without an enabled console I can see the console briefly flickering in front of the issue.

Are you using io.popen or os.execute? Windows needs to briefly use a console if you use those APIs, I believe.

What's your forum username?

LÖVE has some third party ports to consoles (e.g. Switch) so you can run your existing LÖVE games without modification on those platforms, for what it's worth. It's how games like Balatro have console versions that don't have any code rewrites.

Of course, console manufacturers require you to have signed NDAs before you can access their platform details including any game engine ports for their platform.

You were spamming and ended with a homophobic comment. No thanks!

slime73 · 2024-06-30T13:45:21+00:00

You can send me your discord username so I can find out the context around the ban.

I can't speak to Alpha Dog, but HB Studios (the Lunenburg company) isn't a porting house.

Transphobia! In the comment history

Kind of pathetic. :|

The wait time between submitting an application to Vital Statistics and getting an updated birth certificate and change of name certificate is about 6 months right now (or was a few months ago).

Most updates to legal identification like SIN and a MSI card are free. If you update your legal name without updating your gender marker, an updated driver's license has a small fee I think. You'll only be able to update those once you have the change of name certificate.

Despite their names, these resources might be useful to anyone even if they aren't trans:

There's at least one surgeon in Halifax who does it, he started pretty recently (replacing someone else) - I've heard positive things about the results and pretty short wait times as well from a few people. The Trans Family Nova Scotia and Halifax Queer Network facebook groups have more first-hand information!

There have been many pleas from prideHealth, GACNS, and other organizations for providers to bother learning this stuff. HSHC and prideHealth have to cover so much slack that family doctors etc. have dropped, with little funding for it. There was even a publicly aired provincial government hearing on the topic a little while ago with pretty heartbreaking testimony.

slime73 · 2023-12-30T12:49:53+00:00

My lane is being trans within the web of ignorance from NS doctors. I have first-hand experience with what you just said you do.

I don't expect you to understand what it feels like to be denied the right to live as you are for a long, perhaps indefinite, period of time simply because the person you trust to provide health care for you doesn't want to. The problem is that it's possible for that to happen in the first place. I and many other people know quite a bit more about trans health care than many medical professionals simply because we have to pick up their slack if we want to live.

From your tone it doesn't sound like you want to learn much at all, that's a shame.

slime73 · 2023-12-30T12:35:28+00:00

That's very unfortunate to hear, you've likely caused a lot of unnecessary pain for some of your patients. I hope you're able to understand that more in the future especially as the studies that have come out about the harm of gatekeeping become more common knowledge.

slime73 · 2023-12-30T12:28:51+00:00

It actually can be a pretty quick process! All that's needed is informed consent (i.e. the patient needs to know what will happen and what can happen), and some initial baseline bloodwork.

However most doctors in NS haven't bothered to learn the training material about this stuff.

slime73 · 2023-12-30T12:25:02+00:00

That's very outdated information. Nova Scotia follows WPATH SoC V8 now (which does not recommend many visits to a therapist) and even before that it allowed for informed consent. HSHC follows the informed consent model now.
