They did Sin Gold as a free update already so I’m guessing it will be a new thing, a discount would be neat though

As a kid I had this box set called “Game Programming Starter Kit 3”, which came with this and I recall it had some good interviews. archive.org/details/game...

Now that’s a game I haven’t seen in a while, I loved how easy it was to drop in replacement models and textures. There was a multiplayer version as well IIRC?

Yes please! I had a look but all the links I could find were dead

It started with 10, but Win11 has loads of folders like that which you’re not allowed to modify even with admin. You probably have to mess around with the user permissions to get rid of it.

The easiest I've used is mdBook since you can just download a single binary which generates a static site for you. Material for MkDocs is another good option if you want more customisation.

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

I get why 59.97 was necessary for analogue broadcasts but the fact that it’s persisted well over a decade since that ceased to exist particularly irks me. Who on earth is filming or exporting in that format and do they even understand why?

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

Sure, it's hassle that shouldn't exist, but to me it's slightly less hassle than dealing with an awful user experience (Linux) or limits on what hardware I can use (Mac). It's pretty much a one-off per install, so not something that needs maintenance

100

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

For now at least, both of those things are easy enough to avoid. Just run DoNotSpy11 and a bloatware removal script. You're still left with Win11, but without those particular issues

Definitely the same shirt, the final just doesn't read as floral

010

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Yeah neither matches the shirt they’re selling at all, but the shipped shirt looks like the same texture as the earlier one, just desaturated and recoloured. So there are flowers on it, they just blend in a lot

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

My guess would be the allocation size the card is formatted with, but that only makes sense if Morrowind is thousands of files and even then the difference sounds way too large for that to be right

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Ah, I missed that - I thought this was in response to people setting it to zero more recently.

100

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

I'm guessing the model worked when most people were setting the split at a reasonable level, I read this more as frustration that the model is at risk because of people setting it at 0 to 'punish' them for something out of their control

Unless you’re vetting that other kid doesn’t have access to a VPN, or know literally anything about the internet, this doesn’t solve that ‘risk’.

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Hopefully the sheer number of services that are going to geoblock the UK will force some kind of climbdown, but my guess is that the most they'll do is limit it to 'porn'. This govt in particular seems hellbent on pissing off literally everyone.

120

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

And it sounds like even if the business doesn't have any business entity in the UK (like itch) the govt would go after their payment / advertising providers.

110

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

The penalties for breaching the OSA are pretty big and the government (especially this one) is likely to apply the rules pretty broadly to content they don't like. So I think most sites are being overzealous because it just isn't worth it for one dumbass country implementing this.

110

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

The irony with Crypto is that because it's decentralised, there's like 1000 different coins and they all fluctuate in value between the start and end of transactions, so any storefront needs a middleman to actually process the payment. Sort of like a payment process...ah

110

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Yeah most Crypto is pseudonymous: you can identify a wallet, but need extra context to know the identity of it's owner. There are some intended to be genuinely anonymous like Monero. In this context though I think it's more about resistance to censorship, since itch was never anonymous to begin with

110

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

A. This was almost certainly a legal ultimatum and they wouldn't be allowed to discuss it without written approval and B. this is a dispute with the payment processor over those games, so of course payments are being withheld

020

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

If only they addressed that in their blog post

020

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Lots of people being ridiculous doesn't change reality. Itch have no legal grounds to fight this, and a PR battle would not only fail but also mean that no other payment processor will want to work with them. Why is that a good outcome?

040

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

There were three working models apparently: one survived which is the one with the MP5SD grip, the other two were destroyed in testing. But there is also a non-functional second model which there were photos of but people didn't know still existed until this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Sf...

A lot of FEAR's guns are just sci-fi versions of other guns though, like the assault rifle is basically an SL8 with a Beta-C mag. The Postal 2 shotgun is a Remington 870 with a folding stock, the texture is from a photo of the real thing. I get the impression they just took photos of guns they owned

"We ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenging period. I’m sorry we can not share more at this time as we are still getting a full understanding of the situation ourselves." - I'm not sure how else itch can say it, either

010

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

You've cited Steam as an example of a "good response", but also seem to think they proactively communicated it (they didn't) and aren't acknowledging how skewed that comparison is.

010

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

"Unfortunately, this meant it was not realistic to provide creators with advance notice before making this change. We know this is not ideal, and we apologize for the abruptness of this change." I'm not sure what else you expect a small company to do?

110

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Also their statement says that they are doing a review and plan to put content back up, so claiming that the content has been taken down with 'no recourse' is incorrect. Yes, everything is happening slower, but they've clearly explained why it has happened this way.

010

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

No they didn't? They added a new rule and started delisting games, but only made a general statement about it hours later after it was reported on. Valve has hundreds of employees, Itch has less than 10 - so again, expecting the response to be the same is unreasonable.

use your fucking brains. you praise and love itch for years and years and the moment their hand is forced by a well-known morally evil third-party, you instantly turn on itch instead of target the real enemy. you stupid fickle dipshits are just desperate for something to lash out against

Steam’s revenue is like $11bn a year, I doubt itch makes much more than $11m. Expecting them to have the same leverage with payment processors is ridiculous.

040

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

A fight, in this case, would be the payment processors withdrawing services and itch.io shutting down indefinitely. You’re being ridiculous.

160

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Please try reading their statement before reacting.

nDo used to be the best program for this, but I don't think that runs on any version of Photoshop past like 2015, or if there's a better modern equivalent

Not quite the same, but it's the principle behind the girders here covering up where each section of wall is joined.

040

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Not sure if they have a technical term, but this is part of making modular game assets - I tend to call them 'columns' or 'corners', whichever kinda makes sense. They cover up where two meshes join (the curb sections) so they can be flipped/rotated without the texture needing to be seamless.

160

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

You can technically do that with Audible if you want, unfortunately I don’t think they have much (good) competition.

DaveFace @daveface.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

That's a frustrating limitation with Blueprints (I've hit that problem several times myself, and I'm not aware of another way around it) but not an indictment of visual scripting in general. Blueprints is still great for stitching together bits of more complex (probably C++) code.
