  • Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes?

    Jump

  • OpenCut - The open-source CapCut alternative

    Jump

  • This has huge potential and I already love the UI they have, but it's still in very early alpha if anybody is wondering. There aren't any transitions or animations or anything yet, and the export button just rick rolls you (yes, really).

  • I just finished Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

    Jump

  • Agreed. I'm starting Dawn of Sorrow now and man, that game suffers from the most generic early-mid 2000's anime art style. The portraits are very uninspired, and I think Soma Cruz maybe has the most boring main character design in the franchise. He's the generic anime pretty boy with a cool coat.

    The game's still very fun though, but I just can't take the character portraits seriously.

  • Start at Symphony of the Night then make your way up! I wouldn't recommend playing the '80s and '90s Castlevania games unless you enjoy borderline unfair arcade games.

  • Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now

    Jump

  • I know it's great that Reddit is getting less useful but it's still infuriating that I can't find any help on very specific issues where the only answer was that one deleted comment/post.

  • Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now

    Jump

  • It's for alternate Reddit front-ends and rarely ever works.

  • it’s hard to tell if this was Reddit’s doing or just that of a fed-up user who deleted their own posts when leaving

    The latter, Reddit doesn't remove your comments and posts when your account gets deleted.

  • Thoughts on codecademy site?

    Jump

  • Something people don't mention in the comments is that codeacademy is only really for learning the very basics of programming. It's great if you're just getting started and have no idea how to program, but once you start getting into more intermediate territory these gamified services lose their appeal.

    Codeacademy is cool if you're looking for a crash course into programming essentials, but if you really want to get into it I'd recommend buying a course.

  • Boy oh boy, what a post. Somehow they managed to make it less clear than ever what they even want to do with the platform, here are my favorite highlights:

    With the use of AI now ubiquitous and ‘AI slop’ rapidly replacing the content we see online, this trust gap is where we think Stack Overflow can play a role. Our renewed vision and purpose moving forward is to be the world’s most vital source for technologists. By providing a trusted human intelligence layer in the age of AI, we believe we can serve technologists with our mission to cultivate community, power learning, and unlock growth.

    That's some advanced corpo-speak, doubling down on AI but also acknowledging that people don't like AI-generated answers and providing a "human intelligence layer" to "unlock growth". Did an AI write this? Lol.

    As AI becomes more pervasive, the efficacy of AI systems will increasingly depend on access to verifiable and accurate knowledge. That will extend to job opportunities too as people look for guidance on exciting career prospects, and this is why we aim to Unlock growth for those who come to Stack Overflow or use our products.

    I can feel the growth unlocking the more of this I read.

    Knowledge Ingestion converts high-value content from tools like SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, and others into structured, trusted knowledge inside a Stack Internal instance. It’s designed to eliminate silos, accelerate onboarding, and scale institutional wisdom.

    I wasn't sure I wanted to ingest knowledge, but now that I can eliminate all these silos, I'm sure that my team can finally gain some institutional wisdom. Also I'm having a stroke. Help-

  • HyTale just got cancelled, HyPixel studios winding down over the next few months

    Jump

  • This project is definitely a parent studio decided that they didn’t like the game, so they decided to cancel it.

    If you've read the past few development updates, it's very likely that the team leadership is at fault and not Riot. They basically spent the last ~3 years moving the game to a new engine and the most they had to show was some concept art. I hoped that they were developing in secret to have some big reveal down the line, but it seems like the game really was going nowhere.

    I'm reading it more like the longest "we blew our budget and had no game" post.

  • With Version 9.0 Release, ONLYOFFICE Becomes an Even Better Choice for Linux Users

    Jump

  • From their new page on AI. God, who asked for this? How much time and money did they waste integrating these useless AI tools? I was optimistic that they mentioned OCR but the more I look into it the worse it gets, nobody wants to generate AI images in their text editor. I don't want a chatbot to tell me facts about butterflies in my presentation tool. Wtf? I'm not usually this upset about random AI integrations but this is the exact thing Microsoft would do and why people would choose onlyoffice instead.

    Edit: Well, the good news is that this AI garbage seems to be a plugin that's not included by default, so they at least have some sense in them.

  • Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it

    Jump

  • I've gotten as far as I could, but didn't do everything.

    I did most of the fairy puzzles but didn't do the golden path; I ended up looking up how it's done on Youtube since it sounds like a huge investment. As much as I liked the puzzles, I'm good with the regular ending.

    Jump

  • I guess it just wasn't in my circle because I haven't heard much about it since release, but good to know it's more popular than I thought

  • I just fixed my joycon drift today!

    Jump

  • Bloody tiny ribbon cables…

    Yeah... They're sturdier than they look but it's still scary that pulling on one of them could completely ruin the joycon. My bigger problem was the battery connector, I intended to remove the battery completely but after trying to disconnect it twice, I gave up and just moved it aside. I was too worried I'd break it.

  • I just fixed my joycon drift today!

    Jump

  • Oof, how did that happen? Left it out under the sun?

  • I just fixed my joycon drift today!

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm aware of the hall effect replacements which are pretty cheap, but this fix was essentially free and should last me at least a few months until the sticks degrade. Once it really stops working I'll look into opening it again and fixing it for real.

  • [Brackeys] Make Beautiful Games in Godot - Lighting for Beginners

    Jump

  • Just finished the video, and I think it's a fantastic intro to using lights in Godot! I want to mention though that SDFGI runs terribly whenever you move the camera quickly, so I wouldn't recommend it for any serious projects. There's a PR to replace it with something better (also mentioned in the video) but there hasn't been movement in a year, so who knows when that'll come around.

  • The elusive goal of Unix – or Linux – is simplicity

    Jump

  • I forgot about this, but AFAIK you're still better off with fstab to give yourself all permissions for everything to work properly.

  • I was just adjusting my fstab today... Genuinely blows my mind how far Linux has come and I still have to delve into hard to read text files to open my damn drive when I boot my computer.
