After a bunch of research and weighing options, I went with a Withings Scanwatch. The 30 day battery time is a nice bonus.

Awesome, it seems to work a lot better with Mlem on iOS as well now!

I don't disagree yea; it is a bit problematic. When I started this one, I couldn't find another one. I think this was the first Gamedev community, but perhaps the browse.feddit.de index was just incomplete at the time.

Do you all believe in chronotypes? in c/[email protected]

I kinda.. don't lol. But I work just 4 days a week and on 3 of those I start relatively late (10:30), so that helps a bit.

I have recently learned that this is called Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) and is very common in many people 'on the spectrum'. I think it's nonsense to call it a syndrome but that's modern society for you.

Anyway, I usually don't sleep before 4am, often even later. It's rough 😬

This is probably it. Also ArchiveTeam is archiving Reddit as a high priority target so lots of bots scraping it

became the chosen “subreddit of the year” in the “Best of reddit” user poll in 2008, and at one point, making “jailbait” the second most common search term for the site

According to Wikipedia 🙃

Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Fun fact: a block feature is required to be accepted by the Apple AppStore review process. So Twitter will disappear from Apple devices with this change.

Since this got some votes and became visible, here's the source:

Apps with user-generated content present particular challenges, ranging from intellectual property infringement to anonymous bullying. To prevent abuse, apps with user-generated content or social networking services must include:

- A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app

- A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns

- The ability to block abusive users from the service

- Published contact information so users can easily reach you

How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I ended up still using Redact since I already had it set up, and it managed to overwrite and remove all my history without issue in one swoop :) Thanks anyways for the alternative, I'm sure it'll help someone else out!

Feel free to link relevant communities here! When I think they're relevant enough I'll add them to this opening post.

Alternative game development communities:

Engines/frameworks:

Art and story:

Game- and industry news:

Modding, reverse engineering and preservation:

Game development jobs:

Things of note: The 2nd link in the list above is a relative link; as long as you're on a Lemmy-instance, it should link to the right community relative from your instance. If you get an error saying '404: couldnt_find_community', you will have to search for the community first. For example: [/search/q/[email protected]/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1](/search/q/[email protected]/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1). You will get no results, but visiting the linked community should now work. It can take a little bit of time, and posts might not instantly show up. If it still doesn't work, the linked instance might be blocked on your current Lemmy instance. I'd recommend asking your admins for support at that point.

Welcome to the GameDev community! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Hi all,

I've decided to start a GameDev community as I didn't see any on this instance or others.

What's your relation with game development?

I'll start; I'm a hobby game developer at most, mainly having experience with MonoGame (based on XNA) but I switched to C# + SDL2 (using SDL2-CS). Currently writing my own semi-engineless game (I don't want to say that I'm building my own engine, but I do have some reusability for my own sake) while figuring out SDL2 and always looking for best practices.

I tried Unity, GoDot, Unreal Engine and more over the years, but as someone with a background in software development the freedom of the code-first approach always works better for me.

Welcome!
