Seriously. Unity. Why the hell do you require your license server to be a physical machine? More importantly, why do you ACTIVELY prevent it from being in a docker container?

It amazes me that every time we try to do something simple with Unity that we think we understand, it turns out to be incredibly difficult for no reason other than Unity has made it so.

Btw, I am hopefully :this close: to announcing what I've been up to. Get excited.

I posted this before - but I am in the market for an illustrator / concept artist for a medium sized commision. If you might be interested please send me a link with your portfolio.

Does anyone have suggestions for a simple, distributed task coordination tool? Is Trello still the best option for this? I don't need project management software really - just something to keep track stuff across a distributed team.

Another day finally getting everything done, just in time for it to be too late to play and games. Adulting is hard.

I just set up KDE Connect between two computers to transfer a file. It was easy. Like, stupid easy.

I did a lot of shit today, but most of it was mundane shit. And now it's close to bed and I don't really have time for anything else. Such is life occasionally I guess. But good news -- one thing I did today was not mundane. 🤫

Messing with Godot Dart to fix some issues I found dogfooding it. And according to pub.dev it has downloads? Who the hell is using it and why don't they reach out?

Ah, it's at that point of the personal project where I need to decide... "Will it ever ship?" Becaue I'm already frustrated with GDScript, and if I'm going to switch I could just switch to Dart and be happy.

Vacation means programing without clankers! I'm playing with an idea of a Sudoku client in Godot, specifically for large, multi-grid puzzles. SudokuPad is amazing, but it tends to get pretty messy for multi-grid puzzles. I have one puzzle in […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

I'm attempting to do this current Godot project in GDScript, but all I can keep thinking is "man I wish this was Dart". It could be, but if I ever wanted to ship it I'd need to actually get Godot Dart deployment working....

Sorry I've been a bit quiet lately. I've been hard at work.. hopefully get to talk about it soon.

It's really nice to get good customer service from an actual person. I called Chase the other day at like 11pm my time, a person picked up, they not only were able to diagnose the problem I called about, but fixed something I casually mentioned was an inconvenience. Really impressed.

It's okay everyone. I have tidyed the arcane library.

One thing you would think would be worse in Linux is working with Printer / Scanner combos. Yes working with the printers is awfuly, but for some reason scanning works great.

I want to say, KDE connect to my phone is pretty nice. I'm sure the Windows equivelent is great but I like to think KDE isn't stealing my personal information. Only Google gets to do that.

Working on this x-network social client in Flutter. Emoji aren't working, and I was blaming Flutter but apparently it's a weird issue with the format of the Emoji font that ships with Fedora. Fixed by downloading a different font and manually modifying the font config. This is why I can't […]

Gotta love when you're waiting on something, but it turns out you forgot to push the button that actually makes that thing go.

Just FYI for people following me - I am going to start cross posting between Mastodon and BlueSky for a lot of stuff, so be prepared to see some doubling of posts if you happen to follow me both places.

The Full Stack Flutter conference has a CFP that I've been invited to apply to... anyone have anything they would like to see me talk about? Godot Dart hasn't had much expansion / changes over the past year, and I already talked on Native Plugins at the last Fluttercon. #Flutter

@ClarusPlusPlus Just a heads up, I'm getting a lot of crashes on the demo on Linux today. Not sure if you have any crash tracking enabled, and there didn't seem to be any STR, it was fairly random. Going to switch over to Proton and see if that fixes it.

I know most of them aren't on Mastodon, but still, my heart goes out to those at Bethesda affected by the layoffs. Seeing them lay off folks that had been there since I WAS THERE 20 years ago is absolutely insane.
