Of course, as always, there's a chance that I may not be able to pull this off due to still being unfamiliar with the language, but so far it's looking like it's doable

Kinda crazy what just being able to focus on the code can do in terms of productivity
Bootlegger π¦ (@datbootlegger.bsky.social) reply parent
The development platform has built-in variable types for detecting when a boolean's value changes to true or false, making input handling pretty trivial. The syntax for the language was pretty alien to me at first, but it was pretty easy to get the hang of it.

Currently the course I'm on teaches automation, and one of the assignments was to create an imaginary application for this miniature conveyor that's got a solenoid for sorting purposes. Naturally, I decided to make my project a game with a score and failure conditions.

I really want to make my friends art of their characters as well, instead of just constantly only drawing my own character. Before that, I really need to improve my general visual art skills.

I tried to make an original model of my character today, and realized that I really need to improve my skills with rigging, topology and anatomy. Huge respect to all of the artists out there who've dedicated so much of their time improving their craft that it looks effortless when they do it

There are subscriptions, but the only actual perk is extra storage, which is great because it doesn't feel like they're pressuring you to get a subscription to just play the game

I love Resonite, it's the social VR platform I think I've been looking for. It's got things you can basically do anywhere no matter the avatar or world, an opportunity to do custom stuff right in-game if you want and absolutely none of that is paywalled, which is a huge plus.

Their memorials, despite being erected shoddily en masse mid-century for explicitly political purposes, despite being dedicated with speeches laying out exactly who they hoped would be intimidated, despite being to traitors and slavers, are sacred. A rainbow crosswalk remembering the dead isn't.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

She's still got her noble moments, such as the time hank got suspended from the shop teacher substitute position and she decided to run for the "Substitute Teacher Of The Year" award on his behalf as "mrs. Hank Hill", but even then there were clear ulterior motives (shown by her speech in the end)

Nevermind, starting to see that. The further this show gets, the more self centered she gets. I think the pyramid scheme episode kinda broke the camel's back for me, the way she took advantage of Bill in order to get into that event just so that she could look good by basically stealing the credit.

Markdown's really convenient. I've used it for a while now, and it makes writing documentation and notes surprisingly simple. I also appreciate the simplicity of it, since if I were using a word document or other styled text document format, I'd get way too distracted by the customization options.

Facsim wants to build a future based on a nostalgic past that never existed. So if it can make you forget what the past was like and make you think it was some pristine, better place - then it can sell you a fascist future that looks like the mythological past, instead of reaching for something new.

All I'm saying is there are perverse incentives everywhere for even regular people to propel the narrative that anytime you step outside you will be blown to bits by an Antifa bazooka. The platforms have incentivized it to drive engagement, and creators can live a middle class lifestyle on it.

Maybe there'd be some kind of a museum of natural history which a mission or two centered around, that'd show how each one of the anthropomorphic races evolved, making the base critters basically analogous to primates?

I'm uncertain how I'm gonna avert the "furry confusion" trope in a game where there'd be some "actual" animals as scene elements you may sometimes come across besides the anthropomorphic NPCs in order to make the world seem more alive.
