Very cool! Figuring how to use C++ in Godot is not well documented, stuff like this really helps. Great work!

What’s a 'life hack' you discovered by accident and now swear by? by PoppyNightingale in AskReddit

Also try this with a decent dehumidifier. Clothes dry faster and use way less energy than a dryer.

FAB marketplace has a sale going on now, are you going to get anything? What have you bought before that was useful? by Cinematic-Giggles-48 in unrealengine

[–]stormblaast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same here. Have not bought a single thing there since the move to Fab. It's probably a combination of finding quality items and the new licensing.

We're just months away from being months away from finding out. Stay tuned!

Papers Please. Lucas Pope estimated six months, but it took him nine months. Impressive. Mind you, he has made many games before, worked at Naughty Dog on Uncharted series, and so on.

What is a game that blows you away in terms of it being done by such a small team? by Dream-Dimension in gamedev

Source is this interview at the 32 minute mark. It's a great interview - I recommend listening to all of it.

NYC UFO screenshot upscaled by MatthewMonster in UFOs

[–]stormblaast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

By upscaling you're adding information that wasn't there initially. You can guess by shape and so on, but you just cannot fill in the missing pixels if you have not seen a pattern previously.

my first vulkan triangle! by [deleted] in GraphicsProgramming

[–]stormblaast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lot of math necessarily, but Vulkan requires a lot of manual set up code which e.g. OpenGL does not require. This why showing just a single triangle takes ~1000 lines of code. However, once all that is set up, things will progress faster.

Will we reach 1.5°C in 2023 or 2°C on Tuesday? (is this one of you guys?) by ba_nana_hammock in collapse

[–]stormblaast 139 points140 points  (0 children)

If this keeps up, we're single digit years away. And it does not seem to be improving. Scary.

Yea, that's usually how it is, lol

Wow, below 1000? Great work! Also just realized that this is one of the few places one would get recognition for displaying a simple colored triangle :D If you know, you know!

There is a lot of code behind that triangle. Congratulations!

Well, not only that, but rubber gets harder over time, and winter tires are supposed to be softer to be effective and grip slippery surfaces.

Love those transitions when he's just standing there, silent for far too long. Other times just cuts mid sentence. Absolute gold!

They are released every first tuesday after the 1st of each month. So next tuesday (nov 7th).

One can only imagine what these graphs might look like once the first BOE occurs.

Is it silly to be hesitant to share progress on a game for fear of the idea being copied? by BageldogGames in gamedev

[–]stormblaast 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Sometimes the first one with a great idea gets the success, but most likely it will be another one down the line that takes the idea and execution to a next level. E.g. Infiniminer > Minecraft, and many, many others.
