@creisel Seems like it's hot outside. Our dog is doing the same if she starts to overheat.

Really nice picture ❤️

@sculd I do play some AAA titles as well, my last addition was Baldurs Gate 3 I think. Not sure if X4: Frontier is an AAA title.

But Baldurs Gate was really well done, with much respect to the community. X4 is more a niche thing without big competition.

@sculd @theangriestbird I do know that developers creating AAA titles do work hard as well to deliver a well polished game trying to fulfill the demand of the community and that it's hard to be as creative as a indie studio if you need to keep a really high graphic and performance standard. Thank you for making those games as well.

But I like to dive deep into mechanics of games and don't care that much about graphics.

2/2

@sculd @theangriestbird I'm super happy that I started to play mostly indie or niche games, it's super rare I buy a AAA title. Mostly because the game play does feel identical to previous titles or close to other games of that genre without adding any own ideas.

The indie sector is so much more creative and often there are really deep game mechanics. I really do enjoy exploring those, big thank you to all indie developers for being creative and working hard.

@psud I do like my displays cause they are so old right now and still working. One of them is that old that the most modern connection he got is DVI. To get that working I was forced to buy an adapter for my graphics card.

Because I got two displays the color of them is so different that if I move a window between them to be shown on both I can visually see how broken the colors are on both of them.

The also have issues with ghosting if there are fast movements. I still like them.

@penquin
Well as I said I do want a new one but that's the case for 2 - 3 years now 😂

The fate of a family father. You feel like you should pay for stuff which is more useful for the little ones. So the money is still good invested.

@penquin I never owned a monitor with more than 60 fps cause the newer ones are too expensive.

So I got used to the panels with bad colors and "low" fps. No free sync or gsync just good old vsync 😂

Also not sure if my 3070 would be able to get a 120 fps 2k screen working with high settings for games.

@feuiuxbe @godot @godotengine I learn the best if I pick a simple project and try to solve it on my own. Those project should be something where a lot of references are already available so I can seek help if I get stuck.

So you could create for example a clone of Snake or Pong and go from there. Make a short plan what should be in the game and give it a got.

I would try to limit such a project to a week in scope, this allows you to try another one after or abort if it gets boring.

@TranquilTurbulence @orca
I think it still needs some time to get ready.

At least until the app is available without side loading or testflight.

But I think it will be great

@kionite231
Okay I do understand that maybe I will get another idea if so I will let you know.

@kionite231
You could also color the inputs in different colors

Maybe red if it was wrong and green if the guess was right.

You could also keep that color coding if the list of inputs is getting shown at the end.

@kionite231
You could save the inputs done by the user and ask if the guesses should be listed after you did enter the correct number.

@dullbananas Sound's like an interesting adventure of fixing your system.

Sadly this was properly a bad timing in class without a working device.

@ramble81 @ElCanut
It is still super slow and feels limited compared to the old one.

Rules as example are really bad since it allows only a single action of given type. So to label a mail with different labels I need a rule per label instead of a single one in the previous Outlook version.

@bekopharm Awesome that's another account extending my gaming news timeline.

Thank you 😄
