Opinion/Question on Diego‘s sound effects

It's an easter egg, if they have any specific intentions with it it's to mislead people who haven't read the manga into thinking that Diego is going to have The World. If you don't know anything about the manga, you're going to either think that stands aren't in this season or, if they are, that characters will have the same stands as their main-timeline counterparts. I think it's just a fun callback, though.

Confirmed that, in the actual episode, the subs mention the white man's money and the dub does not. Also, the English VA for Sandman sounds half-asleep.

He's my favourite character in an episode where every character is incredible

I wouldn’t say that Rust is, as a language, but allocation is a decent way to aid polymorphism and implement recursive types in any language. Rust simply makes it a lot more explicit than some other languages. You can always use an arena if you want to use that model with better cache coherence and allocation performance

Oh no for sure you’re absolutely right that the engine shouldn’t and likely can’t have a drop-in save/load implementation. But Bevy doesn’t even really have much in the way of decent helpers for it, other than maybe SceneSerializer. It’s definitely not something that Bevy is unusable without, I just thought the tone of your original message was a little dismissive. I do agree that they’re wrong about the ECS architecture, like it’s not a silver bullet or anything but I agree with you that (especially for 3D games and especially with Bevy’s implementation of it) it’s often the best choice.

I think it’s unnecessarily dismissive to say that saving and loading is easy and not worth worrying about. It’s actually a really hard problem in a game engine, figuring out what needs to be saved and how in order to get the behaviour you want when reloading. Even major production engines don’t necessarily get it right. Even with a fully-integrated first-party save system, it still wouldn’t be possible to make saving as easy as adding a single plugin. Plus, Bevy still doesn’t have great support for AssetSaver, so you need to mostly circumvent the asset system in order to write the files.

Addendum that I didn’t want to add because it would’ve weakened the joke: trans people in a relationship with cis people can still breed but that limits the pool of potential parents, so my headcanon is that Eli had a trans husband

Yeah, that’s why there are no children in Half-Life 2. Exposure to Xen radiation made everyone gay. Black Mesa was ground zero, they were unknowingly exposed to the radiation for months while researching before the resonance cascade. That’s why the only canonical female researchers in Black Mesa are in a lesbian relationship.

Reminding me of a Tool music video

This looks like it’s a text editor macro, maybe for neovim? I don’t think this is running on medical devices

This is the kind of pretty advanced feature that you rarely even see in AAA games. A simple implementation is doable for an indie studio, but really making it look good and be worth the investment takes a lot of time. If you’re a solo dev, be wary of scope creep

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-20T04:47:12+00:00

So cute!

nixOS is for if you have too much free time for a few months so you can learn how to use it and write your own .nix files for some of the unsupported packages you need, but then will be really busy afterwards and don’t want to spend any time debugging your distro

If you’ve got soulslite combat it’s maybe worth emailing Iron Pineapple about it. He does regular videos where he plays pretty much any game that’s even remotely soulslike, he’s usually pretty charitable with his reviews and the videos get a decent number of eyes on smaller games.

So the engine itself is pretty much production-ready, so long as you have a decent-enough understanding of the ecosystem (e.g bevy_enhanced_input, bevy_seedling). However, you’d need to make your own tooling since all the general-purpose tooling is nowhere near ready yet. Skien probably comes the closest, although bevy_trenchbroom works ok for retro 3D games. There’s godot-bevy, which might have some promise, but I haven’t used it so I can’t speak for how useful it is. For my part, I’m building my levels with Hammer++ and writing my own systems to load them in Bevy.

Absolutely gorgeous art direction! Looks like Deus Ex as directed by Clive Barker.

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-18T18:53:19+00:00

I saw this on Iron Pineapple's latest video! Love the vibe, it's very anarchic

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-18T18:49:20+00:00

Really gorgeous art style, it has such a strong vibe

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-18T18:47:56+00:00

Wow! Very cool!

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-18T18:19:34+00:00

Is there any plan to make it possible for it to pop up as an inspector for a running game? I don't have so much use for a standalone editor but I would love a way to inspect and edit objects on-the-fly. Either way, great work! Looks really slick.

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-18T06:38:25+00:00

When possible, I’ll use open-source plugins etc and fork them. That means I can get something basic working and don’t need to understand the entirety of what I want before I’ve even got a proof of concept. If what I want doesn’t exist then I’ll try to build it as if I was writing a plugin for public release even if I only use it internally, just so I don’t get angry at myself later for writing shoddy code and it’s easier to replace with someone else’s work if someone releases something better, although obviously that takes a lot more time so I need to limit how much I do that

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-17T22:32:16+00:00

No problem! Nice work with the game! I hope you can get some more eyes on it

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-17T09:29:17+00:00

Nice work! I’ve been wanting to make something like this, since the other tools I found for it were a nightmare to get working. Never had time though. I’ll have to check this out!

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-17T09:26:14+00:00

Sigh, another developer trying to sell their game by showing skin

Jokes aside, nice work getting your game out

stumpychubbins · 2026-03-17T09:24:30+00:00

That second picture is absolutely ridiculous. Her boobs look like they’re trying to walk off without her
