Oo, nice twist, Jedi Survivor. I did not predict that, I expected a far more obvious twist which I felt sure you would go for but no. Well played.

Still buggy as hell mind, and the combat is just a little off where I feel like it should be, but still, there’s a game I definitely think is worth playing here especially if you’re into star bods with the wibbly swords

@ahchay Nice. I just naturally gravitate to any machine with a trackball in the hope it’ll be Marble Madness, one of the few arcade games I could get very far through

@psychicparrot42 I had a similar experience; when I left school even tech generally was “something other people do”, there were no computers in the first places I worked, only a few dumb terminals which were looked after by a couple of old scary hermits hiding in a server room. I never thought I’d be able to break into that circle; even though I seemed to have a knack for computers it didnt seem like an available career path for any but a very select wizard class. Things changed fast in the 90s

@psychicparrot42 I got rejected by every game studio I applied to in the early 90s (no degree ruled me out apparently) and I think in some ways I lucked out given how badly people are treated in the industry. Doing it as a spare time thing was probably more fun; barring killing myself by the late 00s doing too much game engine tech in my spare time

@psychicparrot42 I keep telling everyone that gamedev is one of the hardest things you can attempt as a software dev. It looks easy, especially because getting a prototype up *is* quite easy, but the mid-end game is absolutely brutally hard to do well. Honestly making tools or libraries or other kinds of apps is easy mode compared to this

I’m admittedly not posting much there but the vibe on bsky is so odd to me. I’m getting constant new followers (probably because I’m in a couple of starter packs that people bulk follow) and there’s a lot of people broadcasting, but very little conversation, at least that I see. Compared to here where people are always showing genuine interest. Bsky feels like a parade of billboards while Mastodon is more of a community. But that *is* how I’m using it too so maybe that’s it

@gilesgoat @psychicparrot42 @dev_ric interesting, thanks! I’ve never tried a Panettone but I’ve had problems with brioche because of all the butter and sugar and the yeast running out of steam so I get where you’re coming from. I should try it sometime just to see

I keep thinking about making one since I bake a lot but I haven’t had a lot of success with sweet breads in the past, they can be tricky

Go’s package vendoring system was changing when I last worked on it, & seems to have changed again, so I was a little confused. Still, worked in the end and Goland has some really nice auto completions which is helping me remember syntax.

I have a basic tool that pulls out Mastodon posts and have figured out enough of the bsky API that I’m confident I could make a cross poster; although there’s a bunch of tedious details. I’ll see how far I get in spare time before the Goland trial expires

I’ve only spent an hour or two here and there getting back into Go but I remembered why I liked it. It still reminds me of “what if C, but with all the rough edges sanded off”. Functions and structs, mostly simple by default, there’s a lot to like there.

Goland has some nice features too, although it did choke when I tried to import something from GitHub, it kept redlining it even though “go build” worked fine. Mysteriously got better after running “go mod init” manually, for some reason.
