Feel deflated everytime I'm on social media and see game devs who want the future of the craft to be reduced to "prompt an engine with an idea and it just does everything". How soulless do you have to be to think abstracting the fun and artistry out of everything is a worthwhile future.

Can anyone recommend a decent 2D artist who’s open for recurring paid work? Looking for someone I can work with on and off as my game develops, who doesn't use generative ai. DMs are open!

Just watched the GTA 6 extended look on Netflix and it looks really good! The devs should be really proud of themselves! I just hope what was shown isn't cut before release like what happened with 5...

This was a fun project! I can now remotely toggle my media server via the motherboard pins and trigger soft off via a python listener. To finish the firmware today, I added a counter for the current streams and a warning prompt if shutdowns attempted if someone's still streaming.

Spent today prototyping a remote on/off switch for my media server. It uses an ESP32 and a normally open relay to short the pwr pins when it receives a command via HTTP. Remote shutdown is handled gracefully by a python listener on the server when the controller sends a request.

3 hours into a print it peeled off the bed and wrapped itself around the hotend, building up into a blob so dense it looks like the Elephant’s Foot ☢️ No way to salvage it without wrecking the thermistor, so I had to fit a new hot end. Lesson learned: Check prints more often! 😅
