I have to say that the DualSense controller is quite interesting. The haptic feedback and adaptive trigger are pretty cool.

Managed to acquire this rarity #PlayStation5

Almost there! Let’s help making this a reality!

24h left to a successful #Kickstarter! 🐷❤️💀

Did you know, that you can upgrade your pledges to a higher tier? And there are also some very special ones left. For example, you can honor someone by giving them a digital tombstone in the game!

On other news, this arrived today. Difficult to play with motion controls with the arm still sore from the shot, but I had to try it out since I’ve never got the chance to play the original. #SkywardSwordHD #NintendoSwitch

Got my first shot, finally! #VacinaJa #vacinado #vaccinated

This is pretty cool. Especially since it's pretty much a portable PC so you're free to install other stuff besides Steam.

I want to say that, all in all, it's still a new open source game engine released with a permissive license. It's good to have something like this available.

I also find it funny that they mention AAA and right after they say it could be embedded on cars/healthcare devices. Because sure, your Tesla computer can run AAA games.

That is... interesting

Aquela música romântica dos coaches: "I got my mindset on you" 🎵

TBH even on the web version it's hard to read the replies to a tweet, but at least you can see them.

Is it my impression or Twitter is crippling TweetDeck?

I seem to miss notifications, not all replies are shown in a thread, and lately I also have issues playing videos.

In these cases I have to open Twitter Web to view stuff, which sucks.

One other thing: GDScript currently has no code optimization. That's probably the bigger issue with it. So if you're not careful you might be writing slower code than it should be.

A "loop-invariant code motion" would do wonders to some programs.

As I mentioned: CPU-intensive tasks might become an issue. That's why we'll focus on improving GDScript performance.

Currently, making a C++ module for those tasks is easy if you're already somewhat familiar with the language. https://twitter.com/JamesC01_/status/1410203893900918785

This, of course, doesn't mean that performance won't be improved. In fact, after Godot 4.0 is released, we're gonna focus on researching and implementing options to make GDScript faster.

So, unless you're doing CPU-intensive tasks, such as generating content on the fly, GDScript will most likely be enough for you, even in its current state.

Some people say that GDScript is "too slow". While it's true that it is slower than the popular languages, I would say it's rarely the bottleneck in a game.

In my own (admittedly short) experience optimizing games, rarely (if ever) the issue was GDScript.
