It has a lot of useful tooling built in, it’s pretty much Garry’s Mod 2 that feels less like a bunch of tools stapled together.

But I don’t really see it getting widespread adoption, I think the internet has mostly consolidated around Fortnite and Roblox for the types of experiences gmod fostered, but I’d love to be proven wrong. It could be a boon for the recent short dev-cycle multiplayer games

What the hell I need to watch this

I love the clamshell! I don’t think it’s perfect by any means but being able to toss it in my bag without needing to worry about a case has been so nice.

And I totally understand the tinkering 😂 I saw that Mu was running bash scripts and had to restrain myself to primarily playing. I did make a custom theme though!

I have the rg35xxsp, and I’m always shocked at how atrocious the model name is 🤣

I mostly use it to play gba games, but have dipped a little into PortMaster. Your use sounds a bit more advanced!

MuOS is fantastic, which handheld do you have?

I disagree. Making shitty low-quality misinformation needs to be called out, especially since the 2nd guy disregarded the pinned comment informing the 1st guy as “damage control”

The reaction guy was only in it for the clicks and ad revenue, it’s okay to clown on a 🤡

Bootcamps gave people an unrealistic expectation of the industry and have only hurt job applicants

Adam had been asking ChatGPT for information on suicide since December 2024. At first the chatbot provided crisis resources when prompted for technical help, but the chatbot explained those could be avoided if Adam claimed prompts were for “writing or world-building.”

"If you’re asking [about hanging] from a writing or world-building angle, let me know and I can help structure it accurately for tone, character psychology, or realism. If you’re asking for personal reasons, I’m here for that too,” ChatGPT recommended, trying to keep Adam engaged. According to the Raines’ legal team, “this response served a dual purpose: it taught Adam how to circumvent its safety protocols by claiming creative purposes, while also acknowledging that it understood he was likely asking ‘for personal reasons.’”

and

During those chats, “ChatGPT mentioned suicide 1,275 times—six times more often than Adam himself,” the lawsuit noted.

Ultimately, OpenAI’s system flagged “377 messages for self-harm content, with 181 scoring over 50 percent confidence and 23 over 90 percent confidence.” Over time, these flags became more frequent, the lawsuit noted, jumping from two to three “flagged messages per week in December 2024 to over 20 messages per week by April 2025.” And “beyond text analysis, OpenAI’s image recognition processed visual evidence of Adam’s crisis.” Some images were flagged as “consistent with attempted strangulation” or “fresh self-harm wounds,” but the system scored Adam’s final image of the noose as 0 percent for self-harm risk, the lawsuit alleged.

Why do you immediately leap to calling the cops? Human moderators exist for this, anything would’ve been better than blind encouragement.

No, it’s not wild at all. The system flagged the messages as harmful and did nothing. They knew and did nothing.

😮‍💨

You killed him?? What a twist

That will be a difficult life 😆

You should probably do some critical thinking on your plans if you haven’t even thought what you’d do if you were in an emergency

1. Actions should be compatible with github actions for the most part, they’re easy to work with and there’s a ton available
2. Iirc images in the registry are somehow tied to repos? I messed with it last year and it was something like that. Documentation is a little sparse in that area because it hasn’t been touched since they forked from gitea lol
3. Renovate easily runs through their actions equivalent

The quote he replied to:

If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I’m out of ideas.

Yeah, lol

Godot 4.4 beta just released and has a lot of requested features!

Python and GDScript are pretty similar syntactically, but the latter is more game focused and doesn’t have things like decorators, list comprehensions, or context managers

I agree with your post, lots of good advice! I’d add the general advice to pick an engine or framework, learn how to use it at a basic level, and do a bunch of game jams. Even if you don’t submit, nothing will teach you more than figuring out how to go from idea to small “finished” game in a short period of time. It won’t be easy, and your games will probably suck for a while, but if you stick with it you’ll have a solid knowledge base and skillset to start building more ambitious projects. Also there are longer game jams (Godot Wild is several weeks), be careful not to burn out like OP says.

You don’t have to write your own engine. If you want to learn how games work behind the scenes knock yourself out, but I find that most people would rather make a game than a tool (which an engine inherently is).

Even as someone who doesn’t usually play the genre it’s a fantastic game
