There is no change to the current price of your Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option for an additional $2.99 per month* that you can sign up for here.

Then there is a price change you damn dimwit, you just gave the shitty tier the same pricing as the old normal tier, and amped up the normal tier by $3.00. I absolutely hate the wording for this, you just know it was to be able to not release the ad membership at a lower price.

AntennaPod is a godsend. Powerful, very performant and with a very clean UI.

I think your brand loyalty should always stay as close to zero as posible, it’s not your job the keep buying their product, it’s theirs.

Wonder how is this fella doing.

The fact that we use private software for public schools is something I will never understand.

In steam, Slay the spire, around 900 hours. Few games keep me so engaged after geting 100%, what an amazing game.

Out of steam, League of legends, over 4k hours. 0/10, what an awful experience, wouldn’t recommend, gonna keep doing it probably.

r/androidapps is also still going hard!

I absolutely agree. Hell, I would pay some companies to not show up to me anymore.

I never thought about this indirect upside of using fediverse apps. There is absolutely no incentive to publicity, who the heck is gonna pay me for promoting their book over my BookWyrm? They will make two cents from that.

So when someone publishes something over these underdog app it’s because they are genuinely interested. It’s really refreshing to be able to read sincere opinions from people tbh.

We are getting to a point where development cycles are getting longer than some consoles lifetimes.

Absolutely, it is the very best for total beginners. If you have some iota of knowledge already, I think you can get more juice from fullstackopen.com tho, but both are amazing choices nonetheless.

Edit: grammar

Defitely Godot, especially having a low-end PC. The language, Gdscript is very python-esque, so the entry bar is low. Really, a couple of years ago I tried Unity and that thing wouldn’t load even if my life depended on it haha, Godot’s load times were pretty much instantaneous.

And there are tons of resources to learning either through YouTube or their official documentation :)

I recommend you start with the oficial documentation “Introduction to Godot” and their “Your first 2D game” sections, If you wanna see quick results you may start with the latter.

Some extra resources:

GDquest YouTube channel, extensive Godot resources

Miziziziz, a quite successful Godot solo developer, he shares guides and tips in a short format

Make an action-RPG in Godot, one of the most complete follow-throughs I’ve seen for beginners, while building a Zelda-esque game.

How to make a top-down shooter in Godot, same as the latter, but instead you are building a Hotline Miami clone.

If you don’t mind some self-promotion, you could also give a look to a couple of FOSS games I’ve built using the engine, I made them for short game-james so all of them are pretty simple, feel free to use them however may be best to you :)

And most importantly, don’t get discouraged, there are lots of things you may not know but that is fine! It’s part of the process. You got this chief.

Two days ago they were, as of his words “not profiting”, and suddenly a blackout doesn’t affect them? What a clown.

Let’s go further and make that the whole game! Then you got Pony Island (really cool experience).

For games that don’t need connectivity is a no-go to me. It’s just some more programmed obsolescence garbage so when the company decides you have to buy the next game they can just forbid you playing the one you have. Sorry sir but if I can still play Tetris on my Gameboy why would I let you take that away from me.

Great news to me I’m not “pro-lemmy”, I am “anti-reddit”.

Sublemmies?

Yeah, I think people may be overreacting a bit, the whole point of federated social media (and FOSS software), is that nobody really owns anything. This is not like if the CEO of some company did shady business or something, personally I couldn’t care less.

Ditto, I see people everywhere but not actual evidence from the developers. Best I could find was some questionable essays in the main dev’s Github, but so what? If I buy clothes through Shein now I am some child labor apologist? If we keep rejecting people with good ideas for having shitty opinions we will die waiting.
