So, how do I tell my meshes to look like that and how do I build correct triangles on that? What kind of formula should I use?

Please and thank you!

You ask someone else to set up your gear, make a schedule and communicate that to your audience. Maybe ask a friend or get an agent?

(I recommend a friend, I do not know where to get an agent)

I love how you simulate a single sound chip voice by alternating the bass and treble. This was my jam in the 90s on the PC speaker.

Already voted and the ballot was too big for the booth and then would not fit in the box.

People can be as negative as they want and it might not be perfect, but I am quite happy with the democratic system we've got.

Get a second hand keyboard with the old style MIDI connection from the 90's for 30 quid.

Then get a MIDI to USB cable for about 20 quid.

If you're spending more than 60 you're splurging.

I'll see you in a bit and help you find one. 😉

I like to claim I'm an extrovert, but I still hate calling people.

That yogurt parfait is definitely worth it, tho.

You're not missing something. I thought you might like it, so I put it in the reply.

I mean, I'm not a death metal fan, but I liked the 6 feet under clip and appreciate Party Cannon, and you said you were a metal fan and posted that clip, so I wanted to check if you heard Party Cannon before?

You sound like the kinda guy who would like to hear about Party Cannon.

Here is one random, but official music video from them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGrh...

I think you are spot on and you just described why I don't like TikTok.

This AI game, like TikTok, has no interaction or conversation, just a hammer trying to hit your dopamine button.

The new Bubsy 4D is coming out next year. Previews with critics have been favourable and they just did a marketing push last week, I think.

If I recall correctly, you like games and Bubsy is a game. 😉

I guess the algorithm is playing catch-up.

I mean, there's more to it, but it's like saying "yeah, fellow devs, we hate GDC too (we don't), watch us destroy it. (please don't)"

Of all the changes that were asked, the name was the least of its problems.

GDC is changing its name. They have not told to what, but they have been hyping the change for weeks with several animated promotional movies in which GDC billboards get destroyed pretty violently.

This comes after many years of criticism about its ethics, which makes it feel very tone-deaf.

Tell you what, bring your car and a proper desk chair to the Dutch Game Week and I'll bring the tools.

We might need to CNC an adapter plate, but last time the event was on school premises, so they might have one on site.

Get a couple of building blocks for children. Take a a triangle block and balance it on its point on a hard surface. No support, no leaning. Failure guaranteed!

If you somehow succeed, balance more than one simultaneously.

Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone. I've seen them a couple of years ago when they were on Netflix and I got curious.

I might have enjoyed the Twilight films ironically, but that still means I enjoyed them.

18+? What kinda games you've got on that Gameboy?
October 2, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Sure, that's very well possible. We've got the gear to make it and we're finishing up our current project, so now would be a great time to start the next one.

Feel free to send me a DM and we (meaning you, me and my dev mates) can take it from there.
