Game dev and Linux user
They're a parody account
Thank you this is beautiful I'm saving it forever.
Oop my bad lol
Man there's a lot of really stupid shit in here.
Yes having a simple to use shape tool is nice. And it's on the roadmap so no, it doesn't go against some weird vaguely defined "core value" of gimp.
I wouldn't have switched personally if Linux ui was still shit. I put the effort into learning because the initial experience was good enough to warrent delving deeper into it.
Like others have said, it's on the roadmap. They just need (or want) to add vector layers first. So progress is being made.
Probably won't use that myself, but seems like a nice option, especially for larger screens.
Propaganda for what?

Garfield, did you move a small region of the universe to a true vacuum state?
This article appeared in my mind as I woke up
I thought the post was about neopronouns in general. Didn't know the drag example was the main concern and thought it was just an exaggerated example.
A lot of people say the same things about trans folks in terms of gay rights. Some people might be fucking around, but drawing a line in the sand like that is going to inevitably invalidate people with legitimate identities. And if you really don't want to use them, it's super easy to just ignore. Idk if I've ever even had to refer to someone with third person pronouns on Lemmy.

True. Or just discard their attempts to taint the language. Like how some slurs have been reclaimed.

Interesting. Feels like there's a bit of a paradox, where we need a term to address a group of people who are being "othered," but while that's the case, there will be people who use that term as an insult.
They aren't threatening you, just looking sick af
Dude turned into the gman
As promised, I've open-sourced my exploration game (2 days ahead of release).
So I while back I made a post about making a game on Linux using mostly open-source tools. Someone suggesting open sourcing it, so here we are!
It doesn't have some content (mostly images, audio, and fonts) due to licenses and file sizes, but it has scripts, models, and more. And licensed under MIT. Hopefully someone makes use of it, or at the very least finds it interesting.

let me know if this isn't allowed, but I'm making a game, and also the music in it, and figured I'd share here. lmk if it's good.
Switch pro controller no longer works in linux mint 22
I've used my switch pro a lot for games on my pc, but after updating to 22 it no longer works, and I have no clue why. It connects and shows the player count lights, but no blue light and no controller detected by any software. lsusb shows the device and udemadm monitor shows a bunch of changes.
Sometimes I can get it to connect by connecting with bluetooth, then quickly plugging it in, which makes me think that it's an issue with udev rules? It won't connect with bluetooth alone though.
Is anyone else experiencing this or have an idea on how to solve it?
EDIT: FIXED! The issue was that I had joycond installed at one point, and the upgrade removed it (since its not needed since the kernel has support now). I just went in /lib/udev/rules.d and deleted any files with joycond in the name (there were 2).
Developing a game on Linux with no budget and (mostly) FOSS tools.
A story-based exploration game about the very far future. With the help of two Artificial Intelligences, explore a universe conquered by humanity, uncover your purpose in it, and try to stop it from falling apart.
(tldr, open source software has come a long way, and it's more than possible to create a full game without leaving Linux.)
So I've been a full Linux user for a couple years now, and a hobbyist game dev for way longer. I've always tried to make the most out of free tools, so I've used a lot of FOSS tools for game development before.
Going with that philosophy, Year Unknown's development has cost $0 (not counting store fees or my time), and the development is done with almost entirely FOSS software like Godot, Blender, GIMP, and Audacity. The only exception is Reaper, which is my DAW of choice (but to be fair, it's a really good DAW).
The game itself is a narrative-driven exploration game set in the very far future, where humanity has found a way to make the universe last forever. The game's story covers a lot of existential issues that come from the premise, revealed through two characters you can talk to through terminals.
I know there's other developers who have done the same, but
Bad Apple but it's made of browser checkmarks and is also in Godot.
An interesting project I quickly threw together after finding out that Godot can call javascript's "eval" function. You can really do anything with this engine.

It really seems like satire, but based off the guy's profile and normal posts I don't think it is.
Help! Random 1-2 second freezes
EDIT: The solution was that it was freesync. Turned it off on my monitor, and that fixed it.
I recently picked up a used RX 6600xt, and ever since the screen will occasionally freeze for 1-2 seconds before returning to normal. As far as I can tell, input and sound work as normal during these. There's no real pattern either.
I'm on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, on the 6.5 kernel (there was a sleep related issue for me in the default kernel version). Since getting the GPU, I've replaced the CPU and motherboard.
Any guesses as to what this might be, or where to look? I tried checking mint's logs app and there didn't seem to be anything associated with it.
WebCord now has seamless audio share for Discord.
A Discord and SpaceBar :electron:-based client implemented without Discord API. - SpacingBat3/WebCord
WebCord is an "alternative client" for Discord, although it's just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.
I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.

Average DS9 Episode
In today's episode, commander Sisko grapples with the effects of the war and how far his morality can be stretched in the name of the greater good. Meanwhile, O'Brien has a winning streak at darts.
Energetic Post-Rock?
My music tastes are weird, I like a lot of music but the only two bands I've found that make stuff I really resonate with are 65DaysOfStatic and maybeshewill.
Are there any post rock bands (or of any of genre) that have a similar energy? I've tried the usual recommedations (Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai, etc.) but it feels flat, with the same melody repeating for ages.
Bonus points if there's good use of electronic sounds.
Instance recommendations?
Sorry if this is asked a lot but I'm looking for a peertube instance to mirror my youtube videos to.
I upload a mix of videos about games, dev logs, music, and occasional random stuff I made (including ytps). So a general purpose instance with longevity would be ideal. Thanks!
Trailer for Year Unknown - My solo indie project about exploring a very distant future.
I've been working on this game for about 2 years, and finally created a proper trailer for it!
Feel free to ask questions and/or tell me what you think. If you're interested, I also have a steam page up: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2565520/Year_Unknown/
