Well it has a motor, and two cycles, but it doesn't resemble what was commonly understood as a motorcycle for about a hundred years. I don't like spaceships on any number of wheels - and to this day, the only bike that looks like one is tc(max) and that's Very Sad.

It looks like s* and not a motorcycle so... couldn't care less.

A new game released and it isn't on Steam, eh?

Arknights: Endfield on Linux: rhea.dev/articles/202...

I mean... at my "dayjob" i'd be usually forced into windows+visualstudio+cpp with whatever proprietary engine it happens to be - all of which very similar to one another, ECS based. Anyway, hence this is a bit of a breeze of fresh air.

Except that nobody ever disputed the region? I don't think this is relevant..

Alright, so in this instance it was a guess. And my point about you not knowing who is or isn't authorized still stands, especially in countries where other large retailers do not have business. End retailer usually isn't a "partner" - the bigger fish above them is. Often a nameless warehouse.

You you are correct, that's what I call using "common sense" & "with grain of salt" when viewing any information online or irl. That said, you are also speculating in your opinion ;p

We simply don't know, this may or may not be somewhat accurate price (with 2x margin for distribution and retailer).

Well, it's different, most game engines from the usual suspects to most of the proprietary engines, are ECS. It does pose some challenges when you're stuck in your old ways, but other than that, actually quite pleasant experience on Linux, debugging works like a charm with Rider, etc.

(And substitute "valve" with "manufacturer" for that matter - in case of valve it's a speculation.)

No small store is partnered, that's now how distribution of goods works hun. To put it bluntly, Valve ships to a big regional warehouse which ships to small stores.

Okay, and Amazon does NOT exist in the eastern europe, it's pretty simple. You can see Steam Deck sold by that "random czech store" or by several other *reputable* random czech stores. It's normal. Amazon isn't everywhere.

10.01.2026 10:32 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

(You see, people in eastern europe do not use amazon or any other major online store, people use these "random" stores as you say.)

I'd like to know how would you know who is or isn't "valve authorized retailer" for a new product that isn't on the market yet and Valve has not released any statements directing consumers to any retailers at all yet.

And it's not "some random czech store" it's simply a store same as Amazon.

They mean "industry wide greed" from where I stand, as a former senior developer happy to be as far from Ubisoft as possible.

The lowest salaries for the devs, but the upper management is happy to take a few mils here and there - for pushing only the worst game design decisions onto devs.

Not exactly day6 as I didn't post updates for a while, had nothing to show - working on some under the hood systems. Anyway, got a very basic AI controller shoving inputs into my physics character.

(Also the green guy isn't supposed to be that big haha)

So... it's a 2D platformer, right? But we want AI and a lot of movement. So I'm contemplating the meaning of life...

Is a simple AStar grid navigation gonna cut it or not?

Is using a complex behaviour tree plugin an overkill - would it be simpler to make my own state machine?

No new game dev updates, had to put on my Red Hat and replace a failing SSD in a root mirror of my server.

SMART was reporting over 11 years of nonstop uptime, a bunch of read errors, self test was stuck and never finished, etc... It served well.

day5 - Wall jump? And a little debug hud. The numbers still need tweaking heh, it's a bit goofy.

day4 - jump grace time and input buffering...

I spent most of the day on silly job application tests. Really amazing how companies have the balls to immediately ask for 3 hour long test with no compensation, for a non-senior position I'm overqualified for.

We've decided to start working on our own game with my partner @kass.rip - I should have plenty of time for a month, since I won't be able to get a new job over xmas. (Anyone needs a senior engineer - Linux/C#/C++/gamedev?)

Yeees, it's @godotengine.org on Fedora Linux

Same... Royal Enfield 650 Bear or Honda Rebel... TCMax is the closest thing to the scramblers so far. If only it had type2 charging...

Doesn't look like a bike "enough" - the chonky battery could have been hidden a little bit better.

Next is purple. I'll probably end up making a few different ones, not sure which colours yet. Red as well maybe.
