Technology? They are no more significant than other manufacturers. This is business news. Great business news, of course, but not technology.

That steak looks perfect. Nailed it.

Personally would do the veggies a little less. They should ideally be browned, rather than black IMHO. Covering for the start can help with that.

If it’s a hobby. Just go for it. Enjoy it. Please and entertain yourself. If you take folk with you on the journey, great.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

Because it’s a voxel Birch or because you feel the texture is derivative and pixel similarities show glaring similarities leading to the belief the creation of the assets were based on MC textures?

A DCMA from a company representing Mojang got Luanti (formerly Minetest) taken down once before because they thought it infringed. After challenge it was later found it was bullshit.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you’re OK and things improved.

You’re grieving for what you built. It’s good to take pride and push for better. However, you don’t own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it’s good you have standards and care. It’s now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you’re being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

I’d have thought this a mid-level thing. Most seniors know the cost of complexity and KISS (Keep It simple Stupid).

Read the issue. It’s in there.

I fear those that are going down the path love sycophants and AI is perfect for that. When your ego gets in the way with building any real equal connection.

I cannot use Reddit on my phpme since they blocked Slide. Lemmy is enough for me.

They have in Windows and Linux, just not MacOS. That is if you actually read what you posted. Or was that point not conducive to you looking for a stick to hit Mozilla with? (And there are plenty available)

I… like this joke and haven’t heard it before!

Is this allowed or do I have to shit on it to be cool?

I haven’t seen this one. Enjoyed it.

There is a relevant xkcd for this, but I’ll mark it as a lazy load.

Dungeon Keeper didn’t need one. Best game made IMHO. Bullfrog were excellent, but what happened to this guy later in his career, I have no idea.

Missed this comment. Appreciate the info, thanks.

A 4chaner has friends? Fake nerd copium.

No, they just don’t have the same principles as us. I love Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same level of smaller active communities. There is more work for us to do.

Not OP, but Steam Deck.

I’m a big fan of Steam. They help me keep on Linux, but let’s not pretend there isn’t a profit motive. Gabe gets yachts, we get Linux Gaming. Win win right now.

As someone who never played it, how do you power wash for 60 hours?
