Just bin em. Go into any charity shop and you’ll see that there’s no shortage of donated tees. The carbon footprint involves in removing the logos is more than it would save if someone were to wear them
Or cut them up and use them as shop towels or whatever before you toss them. At least get a bit more out of them before they contribute to the landfill.
There are games I want to make. I caught long COVID and barely had energy for my job. I decided now that I got laid off for having an invisible disability, I can learn how to make games while I can’t get a new one, but I’m having issues thinking long enough to learn… I’ve almost started my game and that’s where I’m stuck.
I’m also in the learning how to make games path. So far I’ve learned you want to:
Write idea down on paper. There’s something magic that happens with physical paper. Can move to digital later. What’s the game loop? How do you win/lose? This becomes the start of your game document
Prototype in game engine of choice. Speed above all else. Don’t make it pretty make it functional. Make it feel good to play.
Vet the idea. Playtest the game with friends, family, randos. Watch them play, only explain what they need to know to test what you’re interested in. Sit back, watch and take notes. Do they find it fun? What do they think is cool about it? What’s frustrating them? Focus on the fun parts. Maybe the idea is a dud. Don’t be afraid to scrap it and move on to another. Some bad ideas can be salvaged. If people find some part of the game really cool take that an run with it. This process will likely take many iterations to find a good idea.
Once you have your idea nailed down that’s when real development starts. Plan plan plan. Write everything down on paper first. Analyze your prototype and plan out all the systems the game will need and how it’ll be architect. Then scrap the prototype and build a vertical slice polished game demo.
This is getting really long but from there you can get funding or just throw that up on steam to start generating wishlists while you build the full game.
A lot easier said than done! But thanks for coming to my Ted talk
Learning the game engine real fast, as I haven’t used Godot before. But yes, that’s the plan. I have a minimal game loop I want to hit as the first target. And it’s not too much farther than the tutorial result I’m looking at + the main hook gameplay element of the game.
Bounced the idea at least off people and they sound willing to jump into this.
And of course that’s where the trail ends until it’s vetted enough to move forward.
Nice to see it kind of laid out. Still don’t know how to get past the hurtle of my brain no longer working, but maybe I can still do it… Just slowly.
Less war hawks, neoliberals, reactionary american exceptionalism from tech workers who have no idea what they’re talking about except that they have money and think that gives them the privilege of opinion.
Requiring agreement to some unspecified ever-changing terms of service in order to use the product you just bought, especially when use of such products is required in the modern world. Google and Apple in particular are more or less able to trivially deny any non-technical person access to smartphones and many things associated with them like access to mobile banking. Microsoft is heading that way with Windows requiring MS accounts, too, though they're not completely there yet.
FYI, you probably want to make sure to use a solid pen instead of a highlighter next time you censor information. It's probably not super impactful in this case because it's from a SMS service, but the phone number at the top of the image is plainly legible.
I'm not saying this to crap on your community—I'm just genuinely curious. Why make a community that's just an RSS feed when I can just subscribe to the RSS feed of the website?
You could always add all the feeds to your RSS reader including the Lemmy communities, but now you can do the other way around, even if you don’t habitually use RSS.
Yeah this doesn’t make much sense to me either. The sudden influx of duplicate posts across Lemmy over the last couple of days makes it seem a little weird.
Can you give some examples? I don’t want it to become botspam. If the RSS bot is creating duplicate postings, then I may need to fix or adjust something.
Speaking as the operator of u/[email protected] … I think it’s kind of inevitable with the current design of lemmy for folks that browse “all” instead of subscribed … and in some cases local.
As an example, Auto_Post_Bot posts news post to !zed and !zed (the latter is recent per request from the admin over there, as they don’t want centralized communities)… So if your instance is “subscribed” to both, it’s going to be a “duplicate” post in the “all” feed.
On lemmy-ui if both posts are both “visible” in the feed they will be compacted into one post if they share the same link meaning there wont be a duplicate post (unless you paginate and theyre on different pages)
Some other frontends such as sync dont do this though but they really should
The links to the other posts show up below in a cross-posted to section so you can still access it if you want. The limitation on it needing to be the same page comes from this handling happening on the frontend instead of the backend. Ideally imo backend should handle it like how it handles the cross-posts displayed when looking at the post itself
Yeah, I’ve been thinking it might make sense for Lemmy post to be … almost “tabbed” when they’re link post. So if the link for several different posts is the same you end up with “tabs” for the other communities, that swap you between the titles, descriptions, and comments sections from those communities (and possible a “merged”/“all” tab that lets you see comments from all communities).
Probably a toggle somewhere for “just communities I’m subscribed to” vs “all communities my instance knows about” as well.
I’m not sure how exactly to make that look pretty, but I’m confident it can be done.
I think tacking on irrelevant laws onto popular bills to get them passed shouldn’t be allowed.
Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks, especially when they’re in a position to pass laws that would directly affect their holdings.
Super PACs, it’s absolutely wild that that’s a thing IMO.
I think there should also be a “cooling off” period of some sort over passing/repealing laws. I’m thinking as an example of the Republicans after Obamacare was passed, when they tried to repeal it something like 70 times in 10 years. I get that things change and laws sometimes need to be amended or updated, but there should really be some system in place to prevent people from spamming up the whole system like that.
Why would it matter? Some people would find those fashionable with the logos. Send them to a thrift shop. If someone is motivated enough to get a shirt with a logo to do something nefarious, they’ll just buy it or have it made themselves.
At my old work (a trucking company) we had a photo in the cafeteria that a colleague made in Africa during their holiday there. The picture shows a truck with our company’s logo still vaguely but unmistakingly visible on the door panels somewhere in rural Africa, Morocco I think. I think that’s pretty awesome.
