I discovered recently that IKEA actually do a deeper Billy that you can order online. I've seen them as deep as the Kalax. I used to work there and never knew. Might be helpful for the overhang
if they're the ones I'm thinking of (wide, but not very tall, good for large flat things - basically map drawers but not quite that big) just be forewarned that the drawers don't fully extend. (There are mods to fix that which involve doing some drilling and grinding on the drawer slides...)
I've been on and off attempting to reverse engineer old Sierra games in Godot.
I've brought in AI to build tooling to speed up asset extraction from the old game files which has been a huge help. I just got building placement working last night which was a huge win.
This is part of a small hobby where I try to recreate aspects of old games myself to see how I would implement them. I eventually hope to have the skills to create the kind of game I miss playing when I was a kid 30 years ago.
I started the year by setting out to recreate the city building portion of an old sierra game (Zeus, master of Olympus) the first few days have been mostly reverse engineering the asset files from the original game.
I’m hoping to learn enough to start building my own game based on celtic and Norse history. But I’m also a dad with a full time job so it’s probably a pipe dream
I remember being on a plane as a kid and seeing someone playing sonic on their ipod video across the aisle and my mind being blown. I assumed it was some sort of jailbreak that loaded the games on. I had no idea they were an actually supported feature!
Would this work for Weever fish? My father in law was stung while walking the beach last year in Portugal, and I've been looking for some sort of sea shoes to bring with us since
This is my first time hearing about weever fish! Reading about them online, my best guess is that yes, our booties probably would work for them! The mechanism is very similar to stingrays, and they are a similar size to the ones we test with (round rays, about dinner plate size). To be clear, we haven’t explicitly tested with weever fish, so it is just my best guess.
Portuguese here, I know people that wear Crocs for that reason.
I have been lucky and haven't been stung in 30yrs of going to the beach here. As far as I know it's a bigger danger when the water is warm, but this might be just a myth.
Continuing my return to GameDev. I'm making my own copies of subsets of games or recreating games that already exist. Currently making FlappyBoo (FlappyBird with the ghost from Super Mario). Nearly at parity with the original game and will add a few "upgrades".
End goal is to have many reference examples when I start to make the game I want to make.
My own setup is similar but replace cloudflare with netlify and vscode with obsidian. However I do find writing markdown as someone with dyslexia to be a huge issue when it comes to spelling and grammer.
How is Obsidian for correcting this? Years ago I would have used something like grammarly to solve it but I'd rather something build it in if possible and make it as brainless as possible
I’m not totally sure, but Obsidian does have built-in spellcheck, and there are some community plugins like LanguageTool that might help with grammar. Haven’t used them extensively myself, but they could be worth checking out.
Mostly just trying to get back into game development after a 15 year hiatus. Trying to task myself with recreated some portion of a game I've been playing recently. This month it's the fishing mini game from Dredge. Last month it was a simple inventory system. I've nothing to share really, I'd hoped to do a few blog posts on it, but having a 17 month old takes up most of your spare time
I can't read the link but we've the same thing in Ireland. I've always assumed it stemed from shops being family owned. e.g. We have a stationary store that was originally called Eason and Sons which when said quickly sounds like Easons.
There'a s few other examples but that's the one that always stood out to me
