1/100 - From Hot Dogs to Tesla: Our Journey to Yosemite and Beyond
Join us on an epic road trip as we journey from our home to a cozy cabin near Yosemite National Park. Along the way, we make a stop at a tasty hotdog joint and chat with Tesla about car delivery. With a generous discount in hand, we set off to explore the wonders of Yosemite and have a blast playing in the snow, visiting museums, and climbing closer to Yosemite Falls. After a brief detour to receive our brand new Tesla, we continue our journey to Lake Tahoe for a festive Christmas and even more adventures. From hot dogs to Tesla, this road trip is one for the books. Stay tuned for the next 99 videos in the coming year!

I have a friend, and I really like to talk to him over voice. But over DM, it is a different story. His tone is completely different, and he doesn’t spark the conversation. I am wondering if you are experiencing the same with me. The question is: is my voice tone and tone over the text different or the same?

Wireless chargers are a total gimmick. First, you cannot use your phone while it is charging. Second, it is very easy to misplace your phone and end up with a completely uncharged phone in the morning.

I feel like I’m missing out on the AI wagon. I need to get a good GPU, but I also like the flexibility that my laptop provides. I think an eGPU might be the solution. Do you have any recommendations?
From Big Project to Small Games: My 2023 Resolutions as an Indie Developer
Hello everyone! In this video, I’m sharing my resolutions for the coming year as an indie game developer. Last year, I worked on a big action RPG game, but it ended up feeling like a never-ending project. So, in 2023, I want to focus on making smaller games in a shorter amount of time. My first resolution is to release 5 games on Steam, and to do this, I’m giving myself 3 months for each game to focus on quality and polish. I also have two other games that I’ve been working on that I plan to release in the next year.
But I also realize that my games didn’t do well in the past because I didn’t have enough supporters to help build hype and promote them. So, my second goal is to build a strong community of supporters. To do this, I plan to stream on Twitch at least 200 times and make 100 YouTube videos next year. This will help me focus on building my audience and creating a community of supporters that will be crucial in helping me sell my games and grow my indie developer career.
In addition to these active goals, I also have some passive goals as metrics to indicate that I am on the right track to becoming an indie game developer. I hope you’ll join me on this journey and watch my progress as I work towards my 2023 resolutions. Thank you for watching and I’ll see you next year!
I asked ChatGPT to write a song, and it came up with this cool anime-inspired chord progression. The Vocaloid voice adds an extra layer of awesomeness. Let us know what you think in the comments! Thanks for watching.
The title and description are also generated by ChatGPT.
To make a music video, I use Unreal Engine 5, put a glowing cube, the character from one of my games, and applied some animation from Mixamo.
Here is the full transcript:
Mika: Write a love song with the anime chord progression which is IV V vi. For simplicity make it in the C key.
ChatGPT: Here is a love song using the anime chord progression in the key of C:
Verse 1:
C F
I see you in the morning light
C F
And I can't help but feel so right
G Am
Every time I see your face
G Am
I know this love is meant to be
Chorus:
F C
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
G Am
My love for you can't be beat
F C
I'll follow you wherever you may go
G Am
Our love will always grow and grow
Verse 2:
C F
I never thought I'd find someone
C F
Who could make me feel this way
G Am
But you showed me love and light
G Am
And now my heart takes flight
Chorus:
F C
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
G Am
My love for you can't be beat
F C
I'll follow you wherever you may go
G Am
Our love will always grow and grow
Bridge:
Am F
Our love is strong and true
C G
I know that I can count on you
Am F
Through good times and bad
C G
Our love will never fade
Chorus:
F C
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
G Am
My love for you can't be beat
F C
I'll follow you wherever you may go
G Am
Our love will always grow and grow.
Mika: You did not specify the tempo of the song. What is the tempo of this song?
ChatGPT: I’m sorry, but I didn’t specify a tempo for the song. The tempo is the speed at which the song is played, and it is typically measured in beats per minute (BPM). The tempo can vary depending on the style of the song and the preferences of the musician or composer.
In general, the tempo of a love song might be slow and romantic, somewhere in the range of 60-80 BPM. But this is just a general guideline, and the exact tempo will depend on the specific song and the desired mood and feel.
If you need a specific tempo for the song, you can choose one that fits your needs and adjust the timing of the notes accordingly. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more specific, but the tempo is a musical element that is left to the discretion of the musician or composer. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Mika: Can you describe what kind of instruments will be used in the song and the general arrangement of the song? For example, should it start with slow piano arpeggio? And then a baseline should be introduced, and also drums.
ChatGPT: I’m sorry, but I didn’t specify what instruments should be used in the song or the arrangement of the song. The choice of instruments and the arrangement of the song are artistic decisions that are left to the discretion of the musician or composer.
In general, a love song might be played with a combination of instruments such as piano, guitar, bass, and drums. The song might start with a slow piano arpeggio and then introduce other instruments, such as a bass line and drums, to add more depth and complexity to the arrangement.
But again, these are just general suggestions, and the exact choice of instruments and arrangement will depend on the specific song and the desired mood and feel. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more specific, but the instrumentation and arrangement are artistic decisions that are left up to the musician or composer. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Mika: Let’s pick an EDM style. Can you help me arrange the song in an EDM style?
ChatGPT: Sure, here is a possible arrangement of the song in an EDM style:
Verse 1:
C F
I see you in the morning light
C F
And I can't help but feel so right
G Am
Every time I see your face
G Am
I know this love is meant to be
Chorus:
F C
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
G Am
My love for you can't be beat
F C
I'll follow you wherever you may go
G Am
Our love will always grow and grow
Verse 2:
C F
I never thought I'd find someone
C F
Who could make me feel this way
G Am
But you showed me love and light
G Am
And now my heart takes flight
Chorus:
F C
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
G Am
My love for you can't be beat
F C
I'll follow you wherever you may go
G Am
Our love will always grow and grow
Bridge:
Am F
Our love is strong and true
C G
I know that I can count on you
Am F
Through good times and bad
C G
Our love will never fade
Chorus:
F C
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
G Am
My love for you can't be beat
F C
I'll follow you wherever you may go
G Am
Our love will always grow and grow
Drop:
C G Am F
Anime chord progression, oh so sweet
C G Am F
My love for you can't be beat
C G Am F
I'll follow you wherever you may go
C G Am F
Our love will always grow and grow
In this arrangement, the song starts with the verse and chorus sections, which are played with a combination of piano, guitar, and drums. The verse and chorus sections are repeated, and then the song moves into the bridge section, which adds more complexity and variation to the arrangement.
After the bridge, the song moves into the “drop” section, which is the climax of the song. In the drop, the melody is played with synthesizers and electronic drums, and it is accompanied by a driving bassline and sweeping electronic effects. The drop is repeated a few times, and then the song ends with the final chorus.
This is just one possible arrangement of the song in an EDM style. Other arrangements are possible, and the exact choice of instruments and arrangement will depend on the specific song and the desired mood and feel. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.
Mika: Do you still hold to the slow tempo for the arrangement in EDM style, or would you recommend a faster tempo?
ChatGPT: In general, EDM (Electronic Dance Music) songs tend to have a faster tempo than slow love songs. EDM is a genre of music that is designed to be played at high energy levels, often in a club or dance party setting. As a result, the tempo of EDM songs is usually faster, often in the range of 120-140 BPM.
However, this is just a general guideline, and the exact tempo will depend on the specific song and the desired mood and feel. Some EDM songs may have a slower tempo if they are intended to create a more relaxed or atmospheric mood, and some may have a faster tempo if they are intended to create a more energetic or intense mood.
In the case of the song we discussed, you could try using a faster tempo in the EDM arrangement to create a more energetic and upbeat feel. For example, you could use a tempo of 120 BPM, which is a typical tempo for EDM music. This would give the song a faster and more energetic feel, and it would be more suitable for a club or dance party setting.
But again, the exact tempo is up to you, and you can choose a tempo that fits your needs and preferences. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

The saying, “You got extremely lucky, you should buy a lottery ticket,” was always strange to me because in my mind luck is not a buff but an expendable resource like HP or mana. So if you get lucky, you should avoid doing things requiring luck, and wait until your luck is regenerated.

If I screwed up, I say I screwed up this, this and this. If somebody else screwed up, I am saying we did this, this and this. And I do it trying to have a blameless environment and keep the guy who screwed up anonymous, but I am thinking should I always use “we”? Because if I say “I” it is clear I did, but if I say “we” people will start figuring out I did not do it, but if I always say “we”. I think I am just overthinking as usual.

So what I should do is keep building the portfolio of my terrible games. I made 5 games two years ago, but they did not work well. So the lesson I learned is that one month is not enough to make a quality game. I pivoted to a bigger game “Ordy”, and I think I went too big. My current estimation is that to finish “Ordy” I need about 150 years. I should reduce the scope of the game and probably aim for a three-month timeline. I have an idea for the Pop It game. I should resume work on it. Scope it to three months and release it at the beginning of March 2023. Also, I have not released my 5th game Fall. I should take a look at the game, tidy it up, and release it first. And then get back to Pop It game.

I am getting mixed signals. In general, everybody is saying that being an artist is not the path to riches. Only a fraction of a percent become rich. Game development is no exception. Game development is a form of art, as is content creation on YouTube or streaming on Twitch. To become a successful YouTuber or streamer, you have to sell your soul to the algorithm. Should I just make everything a hobby and have fun? Stream on Twitch, play games, do 3D modeling, game development, and make music, and all of this just for the fun? Is trying to please the gods of the algorithm worse than working in a corporation?

Prefer early returns in the functions. It makes your code flatter and easier to read.
auto MyClass::updateDifficulty(int val) -> bool
{
const auto cfg = getCfg();
if (!cfg)
return false; // <--- early return
if (val < cfg->minDifficulty() || val >= cfg->maxDifficulty())
return false; // <--- early return
for (auto &u: units)
u.setDifficulty(val);
return true;
}
