Two use cases I really wish custom annotations in GDScript for:
🫷 Setters with basic validation to prevent calling expensive logic.
🌳 Methods that are only called when the node is ready/inside tree.

I write such methods twenty times a day, and it's just boilerplate.

This story about a software developer who voids user licenses because he doesn't like what they are doing on their PCs starts ugly but ends with a sick and despicable turn. Like, convicted for soliciting CP kind of sick, but somehow still allowed on the web.

Made a simple carpet shader for the background in my current game. It'll be mostly obscured, but does feature a bit of a parallax!

Compression will probably make it hard to see though :/

I remember when there was that thing called reddiquette and according to it, you were supposed to only downvote comments that don't contribute to the discussion, not comments that you disagree with.

It was too high of a concept for the internet and never worked.

I suck at parrying in Dark Souls. I was quickly turned down by Sifu when I learnt how tight the timings are. And I have to say, Clair Obscur, to me, is a masterclass in attack animation readability.

There were maybe 1 or 2 enemies who felt unfair. The rest — I'm actually having fun learning them!

By no means is the game easy though. You do need to learn each enemy type, and there are plenty of them! But it's neat, systemic. You can master it, can be a fair judge of your abilities.

I don't want to call quits. I don't want to give more power to people who decided that I shouldn't do it for me.

It's just hard to be creative when you're standing on quicksand and at any moment everything that you've built for your entire life can crumble. Again.

It's not that I don't like making my own games. With everything in a constant state of flux I just don't know where to commit my time, so it's not wasted pointlessly. One feels like a life purpose. Another as a dream job. Neither, though, gives me and my wife future.

It's been a little over a year since I started my work on Bosca Ceoil Blue, and I made less than 1k USD from it. And as I look at my prospects, every direction is filled with guilt.

I really want to work on Bosca Ceoil more. It's an established project with a lot of unrealized potential. There are a couple contributions coming into it. People are interested in it and its synth and ask for features. That's just a great premise for productive work.

But giving away tools for free is not a sustainable endeavor. I must work on commercial projects and hope they can at least offset life expenses a little. But they are unproven, uncertain, require a lot of motivation...

Slowly getting back to work after spending two weeks playing Clair Obscur... 🥲

Created a kinda okay transparent look for pieces (still one texture for every variation, just smashing some shader code together).

You know that feeling when someone you are close to is not in a healthy way, and it's been going for years, and you are powerless to help them, and every minute you're with them, you are torn to shreds and depression spreads its tentacles towards you, and you're either sinking with them, or you pretend they don't exist, which only leads you to feeling guilty about yourself, but at least guilty is better than devasted, except you're clearly not in a healthy way as well, and well, you end up here.

I like the word "agog". We're not using it enough.

Anyway, after 42 hours I think it's time to leave a Steam review for Clair Obscur! (But I'm still not done in the slightest.)

Yesterday my phone started to drain the battery like crazy without any app activity showing up. It drained itself dry two times since, and despite multiple restarts, it still goes on.

Ugh... Why mobile platforms are so shit you can't even tell what's draining the battery.

What I like about Expedition 33, is that all of the characters are traveling together. Only in combat do you split them up to form a band of 3 who are actually doing the fighting. So everyone is building rapport all the time as you explore, and nobody feels left out.

And in combat nobody feels like a weak link! Everyone's abilities and gameplay is so unique (within the general system constraints, of course), it's actually engaging to figure the role for each hero and maximize their potential.

Often, in party-based games I get too attached to the characters to switch things up after a while. I will start and finish Baldur's Gate 3 with the same set of companions more likely than not.

But I pushed myself out of my comfort zone in Expedition 33, and it actually worked out great! The way they've implemented this never leaves characters on the sidelines. There isn't a part of this game that is subpar, I swear <3

In the most recent devstream Warframe devs had a 20-minute section where they showed how mods that augment character abilities are coded (with Lua and their internal tools). That's pretty cool gamedev content right there!

So Blizzard doesn't accept actual IDs as proof of residence, but does accept some secondary and tertiary documents which you are not guaranteed to have. How am I supposed to correct my details if I rent and thus utility bills are not issued in my name?!

If you support me on Patreon, you can read a little bit about the game that I'm working on these days. I paywall these stories because I want to give something extra back to those who donate to my open source work! <3

It also gives me an opportunity to get a little more personal with these. Which is nice sometimes!
