Hire Steve Bannon as a marketer?

They already disappeared around 2017 when Steve Bannon's racist troll armies flooded every single social media site or app. The auto-immune reaction killed the host, which I suspect was the point.

She should break in and steal her chairs, and then call the cops on herself.

I played Specter on the Super Nintendo as a kid, that might be a contender. It'd older than Super Mario 64.

It's a tank game where you roam around an endless flat space, hunting other extremely-low-poly tanks. The only other objects are cylinders sitting there. It was actually pretty fun.

Do these posts have to be a question? (self.shittyasklemmy)
Microsoft has pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI in c/[email protected]

I think perhaps some of the world is starting to realize that.

How have you defined base objects in your game? (self.gamedev)
 

I'm making an RPG in C++ and the items (loot/gear) will have immutable base versions, but then the player can get instantiations of them which can change with use and modification. These mutable instantiations will be saved in the DB. But I'm wondering if the base versions should be defined in JSON, or a separate DB (with the same schema), or maybe the same DB (seems dangerous), or if I should just hardcode them in C++ in the ItemFactory.

How have you approached this problem in your games? How do game engines do it? I'm using SDL2 so I'm doing most of these systems from scratch.

What are some fediverse apps that need contributors? (self.fediverse)
 

I'm a decent developer, but with only a couple years' professional experience and no formal training. I'm looking for open source projects to contribute to (ideally pick one or two and get dedicated to them).

I'm open to small or large projects.

I'm using this as my source of options:

https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/

But I'm curious if there are other ones, or if you all have ideas about which ones are needing and deserving help.

Thanks!
