  I didn’t realize people stopped…bookmarks are incredibly useful.

  Please bring back Overwatch 1 the very next day.

  Just a reminder that if you’re using ai to write your book, your book has less worth than your last dump.

  I love Mastadon. :D

  To quote Picard, “The line must be drawn here! This far! No further!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate Microsoft?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They kneecapped Linux in the early days because they were afraid of what people accepting FOSS as a standard would do to their profits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's next-generation Xbox pitched as a "cloud hybrid" console⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Steamdeck 2 is all I need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity apologises.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you believe it and keep using Unity for new projects, you’re kind of a sucker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great open source games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not all about business models. People make things out of personal interest too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity deleted these terms, don't let them get out⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t let your kids grow up to be Unity developers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo that Tracks Terms of Service Changes and Updated Its License - GamerBraves⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s called Godot, and it’s amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Leave one out overnight and tell your present self that they can have it in the future if they do x before tomorrow. If you succeed, then you get a cookie. If you fail, eat the cookie anyway. At least you tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good rule. I only accidentally got into open-source, but now that I know what it is and what it’s all about, I am totally sold on it and will almost always choose open-source over proprietary alternatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Webb finds molecule only made by living things in another world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In a hose, on a rose, up your nose. Everywhere where life can be is where life goes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Three years ago after trying Unity for a month I chose to learn Godot instead. I see now how right that decision was. Well done past self. Have a future cookie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you’re right. I was thinking of it in terms of current project -> next project, but I see that’s not what was meant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t click through and was going based on the headline. My mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If Developers were in a relationship with Unity, it’d be the sort where Unity always comes home drunk and is verbally abusive, but they stick around with the belief that Unity will change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In this case it sounds like they were talking about their next game rather than a current project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why stay at all whether they revert it or not? They’re egregiously incompetent and if they’ve done this sort of thing once, they’re going to do it again. Developers should go where their support will help make something better (Godot) and not stick with the crusty old Unity hag that is constantly pawing at their pockets hoping for the jingle of coins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stable Audio: Fast Timing-Conditioned Latent Audio Diffusion — Stability AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Its music, but the level of skill to make it is low, and therefore of little credit to the one who makes it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a reminder that if Unity developers with pro licenses coming to Godot contribute even a small fraction of what they might have paid for those licenses on Unity, Godot can develop even faster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It already has. The Godot Developer Fund went up by $4,000 yesterday alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Godot.

  That makes sense. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m aware, but ultimately they’re still an ad company that uses technology to sell more ads. Any minor aspects of altruism (if it can be called that) can’t wash that away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If there is one thing you can change about Lemmy, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree. Lemmy had an awesome, friendly helpful vibe and the reddit exodus had a noticeably negative affect on the nature of the discourse. It became more nasty, more petulant more quipy, and more angsty. Now that people are here, I’m not at all saying they should leave, but maybe read the room and try to be a part of something better. The internet doesn’t have to be a hostile place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For people who roll their eyes when someone mentions Linux and all of the free and open source projects adjacent to it (including Firefox!), this is exactly why many people value those things. We actually can have freedom in computing and it’s worth pushing for. We don’t have to roll over simply accept what Google, Microsoft and Apple want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Celebrating The SG-1000, Sega's First Console And One-Time Famicom Rival⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was surprised years later when I learned this was a thing. I had a Genesis and a Game Gear and I was aware that the Master System was a thing, even though I’ve never seen one to this day, but the SG-1000 was a mystical beast that almost didn’t seem real. Then I learned SEGA was short for Service Games and that they used to make mechanical games and I was good and well blown away.
