Today’s progress: I attempted to produced a lofi track for the title screen of my game Ordy. I am too tired to upload it, I’ll upload it tomorrow. #music #lofimusic #lofi #musicproduction #ordy #gamedev
I need to figure out something. #office #wfh #life #gamedev I saw the neighbor, he has 3 cars and constantly going out, has drones, flies drones. Looks like he enjoys his life, and I am trying to figure out how to have all of these things.
I am trying to escape the corporate slavery. Things are so slow, e.g. setting up consoles, if I would do it alone I’m pretty sure I would do it 5 times faster. And here there’s a lot of bureaucracy, asking people to create accounts, asking people for stupid simple things like USB-C chargers. Tickets, tickets, tickets, requests, requests, and waiting for things.
Stupid office chair, after one hour of sitting on it my back hurts. Again, nobody knows what to do with it, without this corporate bullshit I’ll just order the chair on Amazon and call it a day.
Why is it so cold in the office?
Cafe is free, but I have got stomachache again. I do not know what it is, my current theory is that it is a salad, I’ll try next time to exclude the salad, will see.
I need to figure out how to escape this hell: code reviews, trainings, bureaucracy, executives lying. In the meeting I just said it out loud: “you are lying”. Luckily nobody heard it, it was a Zoom meeting.
I just want to make games.
I have an idea for a hypercasual game with RPG progression.
It is my old idea about Pop Its. You know the fidgit toy. So it is hypercasual, you have a pop it and pop all slots, very easy and relaxing. But there is a chance some pops may drop some items, and you can collect items, collect them, craft something out of them. Have RPG stats, like XP, level. Make it online, have a leaderboard, allow trading with items. Have the ability to buff your pops, or have some tools to make multiple pops. Have different shapes of pops.
I need to figure out the story. Something like, you went to the room of your older sister and found a magic pop it on her table. You took it and play with it. And suddenly magic dust starts falling from the up, and small tornado forms and from the eye of the tornado, a toy unicorn falls off.
You took the unicorn and put it on the shelf. And continue to play with the pop it.
The pop it was droping different itemes and sometimes coins.
Or maybe pop it will open the door to a different world. And you have to save this world from the evil queen.

Dear diary, i look everywhere, and find no answers. #AIPasta #gpt3
I don’t know what to do. I feel lost and confused. I feel like I’m searching for something that doesn’t exist. I feel like I’m looking for answers to questions that don’t have any.
I don’t know what to do with my life. I feel like I’m just going through the motions, day after day, with no real purpose or direction.
I want to find meaning in my life, but I don’t know where to start.

I got a wireless #headset as a present: #stellseries ARCTIS NOVA PRO WIRELESS. TLDR; really good headset, but mic quality is mediocre.
Headset has a base station, and you can charge a battery in it. The headset comes with two batteries, so you never going to be out of juice. While you are using one battery, the other one is charging in the base station.
Base stations have a volume knob and you can also do EQ, enable/disable noise cancellation, mic volume, all of this things also you can do from the headphones.
The range is good, I can go downstairs to the kitchen with no problems. It is on radio, and also has a Bluetooth option.
Quite comfortable, I used them yesterday for the whole day.
The sound quality is acceptable. I am not picky though. I think I am not.
The dual battery solution is genius. Plus, battery life is really good.
The mic is retractable, which is convenient, because more often you use the headset as only headphones.
Headset has a mute button, very easy to find, plus the mic has red LED, then mic is muted. You can monitor your voice and the volume adjustable, and you can disable monitoring. Unfortunately, monitoring volume is independent of the master volume and far away in the settings.
I am really really sad about the mic quality. Why not invest a little bit to make the mic quality better? Make headsets $50 more expensive, but give better mic quality. Why?! I just do not understand. #smh The mic has a huge DC offset, and it eats all low frequencies.
Very nice present, also expensive.

I wasted almost one week on the bug, just because I put 0x7E in the code instead 0xFE. I had a severe case of dyslexia I guess, I cannot explain.

Yesterday, #Ordy #UnrealEngine #UE5 I shaved about 10-20 seconds off the compilation time of my Ordy game. I found that the default build script tries to build Unreal Engine every time I try to build Ordy. So I removed this part. If I need to rebuild Unreal Engine I’ll do it manually. Thank you for trying to be helpful, but no plz don’t rebuild Unreal Engine.

The Khronos Group’s initial API designs for OpenGL were pretty good in my opinion, taking into account the time when they were released. Current efforts are not that much (let’s say it like this). I think the major issue is that they are targeting professional developers, but the truth is I am forever an amateur, at least I feel like this. I like to have good defaults and short, elegant solutions. When you are designing your API, if your API requires a lot of boilerplate code, go back to the drawing board. Honestly. Get good defaults, and allow users to tweak defaults.
More options on Alt-Tab for KDE Plasma Task Switcher sudo apt-get install kwin-addons Thumbnail Grid looks like the old and trusty Win 10 Alt-Tabber
There is an interesting opensource product https://www.materialmaker.org/. It is can be an open source substitute for the substance painter. I need to take a closer look to get my opinion on it, tho.
