The controller looks pretty cool for sure, my biggest fear is the dpad though. I hope they go for a clicky feel like on the latest xbox controllers, and not the mushy feel you've got on the Dualshock 5 or even the 8BitDo Pro 2, which,

I feel you. A repairable phone that's 5 inches would be so perfect. I miss my the Xperia X Compact so bad, I loved that phone, I had Lineage OS on it and it was great. It wasn't easy to repair though. Now I've got a Jelly Sta

On that note, is it worth it to get a desoldering iron ? Like, what is essentially a soldering iron and a desoldering pump combined ? I've had little success desoldering in the past, and broke boards because of it.

I really liked this post. I've recently been learning OpenGL and C++, and the libraries surrounding it, like ImGui, which I like using a lot ! But for my projects I think I'll keep using Godot. I really want to make a game, and no

I'd thought they would keep GDScript since it's built on Godot, especially since you can export your projects to Godot afterwards. Not really that bad of a problem since GDScript's easy to pick up

I agree with this. I've used AI as a crutch for a time, and felt my skills get worse. Now I've set it up to never have it give me entire solutions, just examples and tips on how to get it done. I've struggled with Shader Prog

There's also stuff like Sonic Pi ( https://sonic-pi.net/ ) and most things live coding related, but I found that I don't really like that approach even though I love synths and programming. For some reason I don&#x2

Yeah I figure it's that too. When you look at the miniature generated before the actual 3D model, it looks like something generated with another tool which is fed to the 3D generation AI.

I think that is the way. I also ditched social media, used a brick phone for a while but went back to a smart phone for gps. Don't use it for social media though, since I have none. Although, how do you feel about using your computer t

I've just put one in blender, indeed the topology is all over the place, but only triangles at least. Seems really hard to edit it in a 3D program after the fact because the vertices are placed seemingly at random

I managed to get it to work with images that were looking down on the character / thing, like in an isometric game. Using any image that was facing the front was giving flat results

Do you really think it's "both garbage and high-value content"? From what I've seen it's either or. It seems the exception that a kid or teenager will watch a healthy mix of both. I agree that lots of books and long

I will never forgive Epic for not trying to finish their alpha of the latest Unreal Tournament. I had so much fun on that alpha. Unfortunately the dev team got put to fortnite when that started printing money. Logical, but still sad.

Some examples please ! I listen to 0 k-pop but am very curious now. My cousin used to send me stuff that sounded really good.

There is an app called Slowly [0] that kind of does that, you send open letters and people can respond to you. They take time to arrive, the longer you physically are from each other, the longer they take. I've found it very cool, got

I'll try this out when I get home. I have a bunch of .flp files that are not very complicated, and I'd like to get them to Ableton. Very cool project!

Do you mean $200,000 a year or in assets? By any means, I don't see how that's "blatantly middle class", even considering housing costs. Housing costs are the same whether you're wealthy or not. More money means mor

It's worth to keep in mind that there also are activists in France that warned to this kind of thing as far back as when the Olympics were announced to be in France. This could be their actions. It's called "Zbeul Olympique&q

Indeed, tenacity and discipline is a very good skill. It's what I personally lack and has been weighing down on my career, and damn it, on my life. Should op detach his self worth from his skills in programming/math etc, he'l
