Hi all, it's been awhile, I have migrated from 5.4 to 5.8 in #unrealengine - I finished migrating to new backend & so happy to have most of netcode all done. Might have a v1 by weekend w all the new fixes for testing. It's basically a complete rewrite in a week. #gamedev #indiedev #starcitizen

Found a 2.6GHz i7 Mac mini listed “for spare parts” for $75. Opened it up, the SSD was dead so swapped in a spare 16GB RAM upgrading it from 8gb and a new 512GB SSD, and now it’s back to life as an extra mini NUC-style node for the lab. perfect tinkering box. #gamedev #indiedev #msp

Yeah because epic store sucks. I literally couldn't install any of my epic games for months. Worked with epic support and they couldn't figure it out. Reformated my workstation, tried it on a laptop, even went into office and loaded it on a laptop there to see if my home network was causing issues.

But I appreciate the follow and calling me out on it. I'm not against using a.i. creatively - I'm more concerned with a.i. mimicking me. I find it is a good partner when used correctly like bouncing ideas off of - I just don't want it to consume my entire feed and start reproducing all my ideas.

So it's not ai model output. It's just a filter on a drawing I made in procreate - I have an art degrees and in my feed you can see me sketch in realtime and bring to life drawings as mock ups for blender, cc4 and eventually rigging it to unrealengine. Here's an example of a quick sketch I did.

They were factory resetting to toss a couple surface pros out. They are older surface pros, surface pro 3s but it seems such a waste to toss them so I grabbed 2. I'm factory resetting the 1st one & ran its updates. It took a bit to factory reset & it booted slowly but once up, it runs decently.

Bots found port I'm using for Agones swarm.. saw huge spike in connections today. Too much for my beta testers. After some discovery I found indeed it's connections from China, Russia, Poland ... Spun up spectrum in Cloudflare and ended up rerouting my traffic for a win! 👍 Another day in the verse!

Added boss battles to my fasting app 😂 they show up after you complete different intervals of fasting. Here's the 16 hr one. But I have bosses staged at 16,18,24 and 36 hrs. They get stronger further into the fast you get. #fasting #weight #health #tuesday

So making student QR checkin app for a #nonprofit music school. They have so many students that each time there is a class, the doorway is chaotic cause they are checking everyone in manually. Adding in gamification features like xp to checkins, streak scores, etc per student. Doing it all for free

WickedDelight @wickeddelight.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
Just added end time for a fast you are on. Prior I just had a timer running down. Now you see the timer but all show you what date,time your fast is ending.

was tired of ads in android & ios fasting apps so I spent 40 min today & coded one myself. Took some inspiration from gaming achievements, gamified the app abit - has built in common intervals, tracks previous fasts, has a calendar & xp fastquest-flutter-fasting.vercel.app #health #fasting
fastquest-flutter-fasting.vercel.app
FastQuest
FastQuest is a polished, gamified fasting tracker with live progress, milestones, streaks, history, and sharing.

So I like default colors of the pics on the pixel better but if you factor in the styles on the iPhone it gives you more options when you shoot. Plus the video is still superior on the iPhone. If you compare it to Samsung then I think Samsung is tied w iphone in everything but superior in zoom pics

So I've had the #pixel 10 pro XL for a bit but recently been pixel peeping it's photos against my Samsung s25 ultra and I have to say the pixel photos are looking a lot more grainy than I remember against it. I remember when the pixel 4xl was the king of photography and now the 10xl feels behind.

Eventually they go so far into future that they witness end of universe in another big bang & survive it, witness creation of same universe & end up at the same point in time where they find themselves originally stealing the ship they are on and help their past selves steal the ship so its a loop.

During each flight in their faster than light ship, centuries past in normal space and when they come out to refuel, the a.i. eventually finds them & they have to jump back into faster than light speed. Each time they also realize the a.i. has destroy more systems and expanded.

Maybe my fellow #sciencefiction readers will know the title & author of a book I once read in highschool - premise of book follows 2 lovers who steal a faster than light speed ship & are being chased throughout the galaxy by a malevalent a.i. who wants to destroy all life, & mass to stop big bang

Wow #nvidia still is updating the shield!!! I have 2 of them but they are collecting dust in the basement cause they started to bug out at some point a couple years ago and I replaced them with #Apple TVs... Maybe I'll boot one up and see how it runs after the update. #android

Writing some python scripts to automate my #unrealengine builds. I rewrote all of them from ground up. Added some texture optimizations in prebuild & the build went from 48gb to about 28gb so a big savings & it was lossless so textures still look great! #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #starcitizen

So translated our docs on vehicle system so it now covers using horses as well as an example even though we probably won't use horses in our scifi game. We might build out other rideable animals & wanted to cover it w an example #starcitizen #startrek #cyberpunk #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine
