I am a guy (🇮🇹) who does stuff with computers.

I do web dev for work, and I love game dev as a hobby.

I am interested in games (board games and videogames) and coding (mostly #gamedev).

https://github.com/vikkio88
after quite a good run of @callofduty.com this year, after trying out during the free trial period, I decided to buy #battlefield6 and it's basically a rip off of CoD with slower gameplay. Love it.

I think the menus are a bit clunky to move around but the gameplay makes up for it

2 weeks in and very happy with @zed.dev

used it with react, svelte, go, Python and rust and it has been amazing. fast, lightweight and looks great.

the only thing I haven't tried yet in fairness is debugging. I don't need it as I never make any bugs 😜
after probably about 8 years of using exclusively @vscode.dev the last few updates broke my custom ui, and after all of that ai garbage spread everywhere I decided to give @zed.dev a serious go.
The killer feature is: turn ai features off.
I do use AI, who doesn't, I just want it out of my editor.

this is mostly for UK audience, after having being in an abusive relationship with EE for the last 10 years (since I moved in here) I decided to tell them to fuck off and switch to id mobile.

from £15 to £7 a month, from fucking 2Gb of 4g to 40Gb of 5g with data rollover and roaming included.

now almost 2 months in I think #omarchy is nice looking but shittily configured, when I get some time will format and re-install arch from scratch and setup my own hyprland.
Just too much crap.
been using #omarchy for the last 2 weeks, after ages of budgie on ubuntu, and before that flexbox and i3 on ubuntu.
I kind of like it that is all setup for me, but I hate most of the forced tools in it.
sometimes when I see "opinionated" it reads "I dont care if it works for you just do as I say"

after getting 4 different endings, finishing #phantomliberty in 2 different ways and having played 70 hours since the steam autumn sales, yday I uninstalled #Cyberpunk2077

Now I want to try #DeathStranding, but the prologue is 5 hours of cutscenes and 2 minutes of gameplay, might not be for me.

been listening to some episodes of BetterOffline podcast from @edzitron.com and somehow weirdly made me feel better realising that someone else thinks that the AI hypetrain is just that, and as everything powered by greed e lies will probably die spectacularly.

thanks

Here it is, just for fun, another tool that probably only I will use:
Kiffarino.
It's a local ticket manager that uses plain Markdown files (and a bit of JSON) as its database.

I did the most british thing I have done in my life today at lunch:

I had a burrata, some prosciutto cotto, an Aldi Naan and some Hummus... I mixed them all up to do a bastard sandwhich children of 4 different cultures mixed them all together.

It tasted delicious though
