Imagine claiming "self defense" while the most murdered age group of the people you bomb are 5-9 year olds

Imagine knowing this & continuing to arm the man bombing those kids

Worst of all—you don't have to imagine this—these are the facts of Biden arming Netanyahu to bomb Gaza

It.... was a random "ui_cancel" handler buried in a completely unrelated script. Not sure I know how it even got there, but it still makes no sense as to the effect it had. Oh well, it's now deleted. Also learned I'm not sure I like the tab container, happier using buttons. #godot #godotengine

i posted this on bsky a while back, and only just realized "hey maybe fedi wants to see some of the visual art i personally created in its entirety"

so, here's my art. please enjoy

EDIT: for everyone asking: the third image is a screenshot from MidBoss, a turn-based roguelike where you possess the bodies of the enemies you defeat and take their abilities for your own. It's available on itch (https://eniko.itch.io/midboss) and Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/561740/MidBoss/)

It's been a long time away working on other projects, but I'm finally ready to start working on my #Godot #Pinball toolkit project again. I'm starting by re-examining the scale I chose to fit the world of pinball physics into the bounds of Godot or Jolt physics.

Originally I made the ball have a 1m diameter, but this made for an ugly scale factor. Now I'm prioritizing a nice round 8x scale factor for a ball diameter of 0.216m

And done! 🎉 GOAT now officially works with Godot Engine 4.2 🥳

(please report any bugs that you find 😅)

Last week, Tyler Thorsted, @archivist_Liz, Chris Knowles and I did a workshop on imaging obscure floppy disk formats at #ipres2024
As part of this workshop we produced a guide, which is available on Zenodo!

A Guide to Imaging Obscure Floppy Disk Formats

Memory institutions are grappling with the challenges posed by digital carriers in their collections. While solutions for more recent carriers like hard drives, optical discs, and flash storage are readily available, the landscape becomes trickier when dealing with older formats such as floppy disks. It is becoming increasingly difficult to source the hardware, such as 5.25”floppy drives. There are many boards that can read flux streams, including the KryoFlux, and the Award-winning Archivist’s Guide to KryoFlux can help to get started. But KryoFlux is somewhat limited in the disk formats it can interpret and might be too expensive for smaller institutions. We came together as practitioners because we encountered disk formats that required additional efforts to read and extract files. We explored hardware such as Greaseweazle and using FluxEngine software to read less common disk formats. Sharing the knowledge we have gained, this tutorial and workshop present an opportunity for participants to delve into these formats, examining them from both hardware and formatting perspectives. The session will start with a tutorial designed to showcase various options and tools (FluxEngine, GreaseWeazle), demonstrating how to make aging equipment compatible with contemporary machines. At the end of the tutorial, participants should have the knowledge to build their own forensic workstation for 5.25”and 3.5”floppy disks. Commencing with case studies, the workshop in the second half of the session will unravel the complexities of dealing with obscure formats and share valuable lessons learned. Participants will be equipped with practical tips and tricks for identification and handling, including utilizing Hex Editors and using tools for specific obscure disk formats (such as WANG). The aim is to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the challenges associated with older formats.

I see that #Redot, the chud-fork of #Godot is going exactly as expected from the kind of people who would fork a #FOSS project because of "wokeness"

I literally never post but my fellow gamedevs need to know that @RedotEngine is NOT a good alternative to godot. The founders have said they are nontechnical. not only that, but their team is a mess. Dev's saying conflicting things,being hostile to each other, and not transparent

one of the great things about mastodon is you can't really get ratioed because the numbers don't load properly
I've not played it but of course I know about the Ufo 50 incredible success. I was thinking it could be an interesting experiment to do something like that myself. Like a collection (of course not 50, more like 5!) of separate games in one. Maybe a series of short visual novels / RPG / card games / adventures (the genres I mostly make) with an overall theme, like horror, mystery etc. Of course just an idea for now since I have a lot of things to finish first!
