I used to work 4-10s doing labour. Those days were brutally long. Add another 3 hours? No way it would’ve been done.

Not to add all the food and gear you gotta pack for and bring along for days like that. Idk it’s brutal, especially mixing in a commute.

Yes sir

Meanwhile, my parents have some old random branded washer and dryer from the 90s that still works today. A few years ago they replaced a part, something to do with draining. Cost them all of 40 bucks and a couple hours.

They truly, and intentionally, don’t make em like they used to.

Aw man that’s a shame

Can’t you just download Lutris and tell it to run itch games via Wine? I have done that with one game from itch before but tbh it’s the only time I’ve tried it so it could’ve been a fluke.

If having an ad blocker and reading grocery store tags to get the best deal makes someone autistic, then like, everyone I know is autistic.

That’s the dumbest metric for measuring autism I’ve ever heard.

What a throwback ❤️

Full agree with the licensing and connection to king being dubious. They’re now under the Defold foundation FWIW. Either way, I tried it, and moved on.

I think I’ll be messing with Raylib and C next. I’m already noticing some issues with Lua and Love2D as well that I don’t love. Mostly web builds being a royal PITA.

Defold is interesting. I’ve used it for a game jam and went through the Zenva courses for it. So I have a little experience, but please correct me if what I’m about to say is wrong.

I like defold but it has problems that pushed me to Love2D. For one, the distinction between a game object and a collection feels unnecessary and because they have slight variations (like how to get their message url) it lead to some confusion I couldn’t get over.

Furthermore, the message based system is odd to me. In theory I love it, but in practice I just couldn’t find a good way to keep things organized. I ended up with a spaghetti mess of messages that I could never keep track of. But that’s likely a me-being-a-shitty-programmer problem.

I do love the performance and tiny export sizes though! Getting builds that small and that performant from Lua is pretty sweet.

Yeah, Tuta mail and calendar have been great for all my super basic needs. Once they get a drive going, I’m basically jumping off proton to tuta completely at that point.

Oh interesting, the brightness hasn’t been an issue for me but different strokes for different folks.

I’ve never had a touch screen laptop so I can’t miss it lol I bet it’s convenient sometimes though

I have a newer gen 13 and yeah battery life is mediocre. I love literally everything else about it though so it’s ok.

I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t near an outlet though tbh.

Just checked it out, looks good and pays out really well!

Fair enough.

I switched to keep the convenience of streaming but help the artists get paid more. If there is a non-American alternative that pays artists better than Spotify, I’d love to use it.

We should all be using Tidal, fuck Spotify

Tidal is much better anyway

Dread Delusion!

The game truly feels like Morrowind at times, like others have said.

I miss games with rich lore like this so much

Don’t forget to check your local libraries too, folks.

Oh also 🏴‍☠️

My wife has finally agreed to let me install Linux on her laptop after all the shit MS is trying to pull.

This kinda stuff just further cements her decision tbh

Sick, I recently made a tiny test project in gbdk-2020 and it was pretty tough, but worked! I can’t imagine how hard this man had to work on this game lol
