What drives a person to this epiphany?

What is there even to gain?

Maxim Daigle @maximdaigle.bsky.social · Jul 30

True but there are objectively good ways to prototype. Otherwise expect to throw everything away and start from scratch when you're ready to move onto making it good!

Sometimes it's just bets that don't pay off 😞

Maxim Daigle @maximdaigle.bsky.social · Jul 30

I am positive I was on both ends of this issue at many points :D

Nothing validates me more than knowing a code change will introduce caca, warning it will introduce caca, see it be added to the code base and then lead to caca.

It seems like it, but use the Lite version, so far so good for me.

Maxim Daigle @maximdaigle.bsky.social · Jul 11

In the meantime I've been able to use uBlock Lite which so far works well.

This is how I'm changing browser.

It's such a vibe!

I just ate a burrito with Jolokia salsa in it without knowing it was another word for Ghost Pepper at 1 million Scoville.

Would recommend as I have never felt so alive.

I've shown Mirror's Edge to my 3 year old son today and I realized the game is close to 17 years old.

It still looks amazing. I kinda miss these days.

I would keep at it, but do less. Progress is progress. Reserve a specific time of your week to work on the project. Try and do small but measurable changes. Maybe tackle stuff that you feel is cool.

No way. Imagine being a "normal" user, there is no way in heaven this information can be naturally found out...

Let me go and try it. Be right back. Thanks!

Which one is the hardware limitation? It's a pretty beefy PC. What can Windows 11 even need more than that? Am I taking crazy pills?

I have come across these in the woods lately. It inspired me to create some for our game #homecall

Here's a before and after of the UI changes of the pause menu
We've found the identity of the UI. We went for something both useable and memorable (we hope)

Well the game is supposed to be a phone game seen through today's eyes so we definitively support 4:3 for those that would like to go oldschool

Maxim Daigle @maximdaigle.bsky.social · Apr 26

Update: still biting the bullet.
Unity's canvas scaler is strong but there is still so much adjustments needed to layout elements.

But it looks way tighter than before!

Tonight I am biting the bullet and finally making sure our UI supports 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 at least.

It's a pain. But I believe once we're all set, it'll be worth it.
