So the #EnGarde demo was a little bit on the short end, but decently shows off the game.

The sword-on-sword combat gets very quickly overwhelming when more than one opponent are involved, and that's pretty much where the game wants you to start kicking props at opponents and try to divide them up. It took a little while for it to click, and I ended up rebinding the controls quite a bit, but I think it's worth checking out when it fully releases.

Yesterday I was talking to a friend who's wanted to "be a #gamedev" for years, but constantly struggles to find what he actually wants to do.

He told me about how there are a bunch of game devs he follows on social media (naming TikTok specifically), but when asked what #games they made he explained they hadn't actually released anything and just made videos about making stuff.

I think this is a lot more common than people actually in the industry realize and I think it's a bigger issue than people outside the industry realize. There's a huge difference between "people who talk about how games are made" and "people who make games." I don't mean this as an attempt to gatekeep, but for people who genuinely want to enter the games industry, having role models who are charismatic but haven't ever actually released a full game (either as an #indie or part of a professional studio) is extremely unhelpful (and I would argue, anti-helpful).

@Flux "Dump and replace" ( the opposite of repair) is a massive waste of resources, and responsible for a1substantial output of CO2 in manufacturing but also delivery and retailing.

For this reason it should be made law that once you own something *you own it* and can alter it in any way you like.

The law should prevent manufacturers from
- requiring a product be repaired only by their repairers. This often involves shipping the product to and from another state.
- requiring the owner to agree to any conditions regarding the use of the product after the sale of the product (eg downloading software, starting an " account" with the manufacturer, or signing a revised user agreement)
- making spare parts available only as "assemblies" where the customer is forced to buy more components than the part that needs replacing
- stocking spare parts for less than 10 years

@anne_twain also allowing for software on the product to be easily replaced by the user I would believe to be incredibly important for the sake of long term maintainability of products. Heck releasing the source code under a FOSS licence after a certain amount of years is also a good idea to allow members of the community (individuals or companies) to further maintain otherwise rotting code and makes it impossible to have a "time bomb" to make the product expire prematurely

@Flux @Hawkwinter This is cool, and there is one more important right that comes along with a right to repair that isn’t mentioned: the right to know what’s in your equipment.

If you have the right, and the ability, to fix a piece of equipment, it becomes much harder, if not impossible, for the manufacturer to hide things in it that do not need to be there. If you can open a device, and know what every component in it does, you will know which parts of it are only there for a nefarious purpose, such as spying on you, or cripple the device to force you to buy a new one or upgrade.

@saria
We need to ensure that right to repair regulation provides an easy means of auditing, modifying, getting access to, sharing and selling source code that comes with the device or is needed to run and to make full use of it after x amount of years (4 sounds reasonable as it's enough time that most devices would end their support by and enough that the company can benefit from getting ahead but quick enough so it doesn't take forever for the public)

And no trivoization should be allowed
