I'm over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place and enjoy it a ton.
There are a number of prolific game designers as well as tons of indie devs sharing knowledge + life updates. A very cozy instance without any hateful BS.
My shortlist so far (includes stuff I already own but would totally pick up if I didn't)
what kinds of things are you guys gonna pick up?
Also keep in mind that defederating (blocked instances) will prevent posts and comments from syncing between instances as well.

new gaming PC w/ a dedicated circuit
This is wild, haven't heard of doing this. What are the benefits??
Yooo nice. Speaking of which have you found any good fashion / fit sharing communities on lemmy/kbin/masto? Most of what I find is just "look at this celeb wearing Dior" and I am fr yawning
I feel you. I have written browser automation scripts to press "I am not interested in this ad" buttons for me it gets so bad 💀
Who are your favorite creators on Patreon / kofi?
I've found Patreon to be really rewarding (hidden gems in the game modding space, music producers, technologists + tinkerers of all kinds), but am curious about the vast number of other creators out there.
Do you have any favorites or even just a list of folks you support on Patreon or kofi?
Also curious and guidelines, specs. A good brief gives way to good results!
What is your favorite way to spend money?

Over my life, I've noticed that my expenses for living fall into one of three buckets:
- Exciting buys
- Wise purchases
- Necessary costs
But I'm mostly curious about that first one...
What is your favorite kind of exciting buy?
My exciting buy might be a new musical instrument even though I have plenty, a new video game, purchasing art, a vacation, a luxurious meal, etc.
And less on the fun side of things, my other categories would shake out like:
- A wise buy might be investing in a house or business, putting money away for savings, or spending a premium on a BuyItForLife kind of purchase to avoid buying a new one every year.
- A necessary buy is probably the same as most others: housing costs, utilities, clothing, household goods, food, transportation, etc.
Looks great, love the alignment on mobile apps lol
Wha? Not sure I understand your actual Q.
Best resource I’ve found for understanding all this is Rax’s video here:
things that help me:
- write to an old friend, even if you never send the letter, email, txt
- go for a walk or get some exercise
- do something you know you can do
- write to yourself, perhaps keep a journal, or just leave a quick note
- eat a meal that makes your body happy
- ask someone how their day is going, but be genuine in your interest
- spend time with animals or trees or both
This could be a good place to start: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68356137
The general idea is:
- Pull app from your phone as a
*.ipa
file - Rename to
.zip
since these files are ultimately just a kind of archive - Extract, explore and search for individual resource files (mp3s, wavs, aifs, etc.)
Otherwise, you might just want to record the output of the app using a cable from the headphone out on your phone to a line-in on an audio interface, sound card, etc.
According to the docs, there should be a lemmy-ui
folder that was created by the Ansible install. Within that folder, the app is set up to search for an extra_themes
folder by default.
For native installation (without Docker), themes are loaded by
lemmy-ui
from./extra_themes
folder. A different path can be specified with LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER environment variable.
Digging into the docker-compose.yml
file used by the Ansible playbook, it looks like this is where extra themes directory is mapped into the lemmy-ui
service.
Oh this is timely, I was just hoping to explore a Bethesda world prior to Starfield!
He reminds me of the over-the-top caricatures from shows like Silicon Valley. That and he's got a uniquely punchable face 🤔
Very impressed by the quality of this update - I can tell the author enjoys a good blog post :)
Comprehensive C++ guide w/ an Unreal Engine focus
This 5 hour workshop was delivered at Technically Games 2022 and provides an introductory course into writing C++ code for Unreal Engine, even if you ha...
I think my favorite use of Star Citizen has been from folks like PolarityDnb who use it to create backdrops for ambient electronica compositions.
Build your next website like it's not yet 1999. (Use lots of GIFs.)
Have always had a huge soft spot for Neocities, happy to see it getting some time in the news.
I made this dumb game years ago and it somehow is just still there, being a weird HTML game on Neocities.
