After 2 decades on Steam, i'll be buying PC games ONLY on GOG.Not just GOG if a game is cheaper, but now, a PC game to buy is a GOG game! Steam joins EGS as a store for free games or gaveaway keys! My move won't change the industry, won't make Gabe poor, but makes me happy gamer!

hi friends I'm very excited to announce Halfspace, my experimental cross-platform IDE for solid modeling with distance fields! This has been in progress since midway through last year, and it's finally "done enough" to make it more public.

This was my last test! 1st tst, programming, something i work with 2nd tst, 3d art, something i'm familiar with 3rd tst, decipher, something i badly need to learn It failed in all those, with me losing the free access in 2 days, i don't think i'll ever put a cent to use those!

Everything mentioned was clues by the community interested in those books, things like that 21-based page index. such a tool with all that power of "analysis" i expect it to come up with something new, some theory, some ideas, otherwise, it is pretty much useless in such example.

For the last AI task that i wanted to try so i can clearly call it useless tech-scam. When thinking about the "Super Intellegence" and the amount of computation power, i started to think how AI can help me in "translation" for something i badly wanted to read for years.i gave the

3D Artists, you're so cooked! With the open quota for Astra till end of the month, i decided to give it another challenge. I code, but i don't do character 3d art, and i would love to learn but no time, so, let's ask AI to make some EPIC 3d character for me that i badly like!!🥹

Also, if i would pick 1 of these tools for a future task, it is Claude wihtout a doubt. It was giving better suggestions, much more organized, and was really impressive to suggest me taking perforamce capture before & after because "You've perf tool XX integrated in that project"

We talk here about 2 minutes of human brain VS 15 minutes of 2 of the best machine LLM brains working independently...please remember this point..😎 While the machine brain has the power, the human brain has the reasoning, and the capbiblites of getting the undone done without thinking twice!

even scrolling through history, is super super fast. this is a project from 2017-2018 till today, and i can reach the first commit by scrolling instantly. This was never the case on my Windows' preferred free git client, Sourcetree.

Gittyup is not only great, free and very fast, but also has that "star" or bookmarking feature, which is really great, makes jumping to diff specific hot-points super easy. Just press on the star, and i less than a second, it filters the entire project regardlss how many commits!

“I’ve a game idea” Hear it from coworkers, friends, family, or random YouTube comments! Like if a game is just about the idea, and everything else beyond the idea is simpler or not exist 😄

i've so many opinions when it comes to this game, but i'll hold all till the game is out. as a gamer grow up in Arabic culture with all Arabian tales & lore around me, i yet don't see what been showcased in reveal/gameplay resembling those tales, but better to wait for full game.

At first, screaming that graphics APIs were very ambiguous, and won’t allow us to tailor the teeny tiny details. Now, screaming about the graphics APIs becoming more detailed and exposed, and let us do a lot of work and we need now to abstract that again to simplified solutions!!
