I heard the original ending they filmed had Peter’s new boss at the construction site telling him to come in on Saturday. You can see him walking up in the closing shots.

I hope you get your happy ending.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!

Keyboard support is definitely a must for our other games. I’m becoming more aware of the importance of accessibility.

Join us for tonight’s news at eleven, where we have breaking headlines that water is wet and the pope is catholic.

If we were to compare it to our day jobs, the opportunity cost for the team and me would probably be around ten grand.

If we compare the time spent to the money earned, then we’re each worth several cents an hour.

It’s a good thing I didn’t get into game dev for the money, it seems I’m quite bad at it

I’m afraid not, this came out well before the deck and I can’t afford one to test on.

I’m not sure that it’s a good target for the deck anyway where it’s a splitscreen game.

Dominos used to be the cheapest pizza in town. Then we got a Little Caesars that was much cheaper.

I was eating the cheapest pizza, so it’s Little Caesars for me. A couple years later they get shutdown for gross (heh) health code violations.

I no longer get Little Caesars, and that made me rethink getting the cheapest pizza. Now I prefer my local pizzeria.

I read an article in Uplifting News the other day - it was about an elderly woman who fell and broke her leg while hiking, and a whole band of people helped carry her down the mountain and to the hospital.

There’s an awful lot of bad news out there, and it often feels like humanity is failing each other. But at least in this story, absolute strangers came together to help someone who couldn’t help themselves. I cried happy tears.

@KeefChief13@lemmy.world @Amanduh@lemm.ee @indomara@lemmy.world Thank you all so much for your interest! :)

The game is called Shoot Your Friends. It’s a death match couch game for 2-4 players who share a screen and pilot tanks around an arena.

Please be aware that it is somewhat niche, it’s only compatible with controllers and local multiplayer. But if you ever get the gang over for game night it can be a fun way to spend the evening.

Haha, I’ve considered it. I’d really like to at least be able to buy pizza for the gang who helped make the game.

My basement flooded the other day. It’s been a flurry of activity trying to clean things up. Today I’m directing contractors in the cleanup and tear out portion of repair.

I know fuck all about DIY, so I might get taken for the proverbial ride, but I also know if I don’t do anything then it’ll get a whole lot worse.

This weekend I think I’m going to get higher than giraffe nuts and do nothing at all.

I released a game like three years ago and it’s earned $97 in that time.

I feel your pain

We all hope we don’t end up in the control group.

I just bite into it like an apple.

People are often disgusted, which just makes it taste all the sweeter.

Yeah, unfortunately this tip is losing relevance as the technology is being replaced.

As an aside, I remember about twenty years ago or so you could buy disposable AA/AAA batteries that had a gauge telling you how full they were. They worked by squeezing the battery, which I believe created a circuit with your hand, which was enough to power a cheap LCD strip on the battery.

It never worked very well, the batteries basically said they were more full if you squeezed them harder. Back then it was easier and quicker to give them the drop test.

Here’s one.

Works best with alkaline batteries, don’t try it with lithium.

The reason is that alkaline batteries work off a chemical process, and as they are used they fill with pressurized gas. The difference in pressure causes the bounciness.

I think we’re in the start of it now, let’s gooooo

The surgeon deserves a little fun too

A lot of the criticism comes with AI results being wrong a lot of the time, while sounding convincingly correct. In software, things that appear to be correct but are subtly wrong leads to errors that can be difficult to decipher.

Imagine that your AI was trained on StackOverflow results. It learns from the questions as well as the answers, but the questions will often include snippets of code that just don’t work.

The workflow of using AI resembles something like the relationship between a junior and senior developer. The junior/AI generates code from a spec/prompt, and then the senior/prompter inspects the code for errors. If we remove the junior from the equation to replace with AI, then entry level developer jobs are slashed, and at the same time people aren’t getting the experience required to get to the senior level.

Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

Another argument would be that if I generate code that I have to take time to review and figure out what might be wrong with it, it might just be quicker and easier to write it correctly the first time

Business often doesn’t understand these subtleties. There’s a ton of money being shovelled into AI right now. Not only for developing new models, but for marketing AI as a solution to business problems. A greedy executive that’s only looking at the bottom line and doesn’t understand the solution might be eager to implement AI in order to cut jobs. Everyone suffers when jobs are eliminated this way, and the product rarely improves.

Not a specific command, but I learned recently you can just dump any executable script into ~/bin and run it from the terminal.

I suffer greatly from analysis paralysis, I have a very hard time making decisions especially if there’s many options. So I wrote a script that reads a text file full of tasks and just picks one. It took me like ten minutes to write and now I spend far more time doing stuff instead of doing nothing and feeling badly that I can’t decide what to do.
