I added a 3D physics engine to my Raylib cube game (soon to be GOTY) because I was bored. Once I add achievements it's ready for Steam.

Four hours to beat Maniac Mansion is ridiculous. When the game was released back in 1987 it a 40 hour game.

Please don't go to GDC. They charge a lot of money when the main benefit is socializing outside the conference and add to that the danger of traveling to the U.S and GDC must end. I have a lot of problems with GDC and how they con attendees and speakers with "it's good for your career" bullshit. I haven't gone in years and won't in the future.

I'm sure people were amazed when factories could make mass-produced furniture, but there are still people who enjoy making furniture by hand. This is how I feel about AI.

Since I just started using VSCode I turned on copilot. Or my god, this is horrible. It offers completions that about 80% right, but not 100% so I have to take my metal energy to see if they are right, time I just could have used to write it myself. I'll give it a day and then turn it off.

Running into a big limitation of Raylib. It only support very simple 3d animation. It can't do blending between animations (like walk -> run). Hopefully this is on their roadmap. I'm having a lot of fun with Raylib but I don't think I could release a game with it, even a small toy game, mostly due to the animation issue. I'm going to write a blog post about my experience with raylib.

The problem with ditching services like Discord or Google Docs or Dropbox isn't me, I'm happy to do it. It's everyones I need to work with. They aren't going to join my self-hosted service just to exchange work files or chat, etc. I've tried.

Playing around with 3D and Raylib is really stressing my math knowledge. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to pay more attention to math because it's going to be very useful to future you.

"Mark Zuckerberg is all-in on AI as the new social media " -- He was also all in on VR being the future... how did that work out? He is the typical idiot who got lucky and now thinks it was his genius.

When Twitter collapsed, it was great to see the flood of friends, game devs and other come to Mastodon. Over the next 9 months a lot of them vanished to Threads, BlueSky or just left. I want to thank all people who are still on Mastodon and make it a wonderful place. You know who you are.
