One of my favorite parts of Lemmy is that you can reply to posts (and even post directly to communities) from other ActivityPub services such as Mastodon. That's what I'm doing right now, actually! :p

[Now Released] Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem

an upcoming choose your own adventure game I'm working on for the #Commodore64 as part of a game jam

Some things I learned when making this:

  1. It's better to make smaller games, as my last game was a more complex one that I couldn't finish
  2. Developing for a retro computer is easier when you don't use a game engine (luckily I don't really like working with game engines anyways)

Edit: I released the game! Check it out here!

I made a horrible mistake with my first game (emeraldsocial.org)

I made a horrible mistake with my first game

So for context: I'm a programmer and I like the idea of not using a game engine, but I have no real prior experience with game development specifically.

I thought it was a good idea to make a text adventure game (think Zork) in C, since the language offers great portability, including the ability to run code on the 6502. Also a text adventure game made sense because I can't make art and idk anyone else who wanted to work on a game with me.

This was a terrible idea for a few reasons:

  1. A text adventure game is impossible to make with a small scope
  2. My from-scratch engine wasn't really designed with modifying the game data mid-development in mind
  3. I have no clue what I'm doing.

I just don't know what to do now. Any ideas? @gamedev

Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I'm replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it's cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž) really does make it feel like "the world of tomorrow" to me

@CookieJarObserver
If I were to guess, the reason comes down to pseudonymity (or anonymity if it accepts Monero).

How do I download Spotify playlists? by ch0ccyra1n in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

@curse3242
This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but it might be better to download each song in a high quality format such as FLAC or WAV. Sure, this is more effort, but it'll be worth it for the great audio quality (if that's something you care about). Just an idea.

@pirate You can use a tool such as libreddit by changing the reddit.com part of the URL to one of the instances. Here's an example of that:

Season 6 Episode 3 Attack of the Killer App is Still Amazing!

This episode aged soo well! Especially all the commentary about Apple, privacy, and internet culture. It's surprising how well all the jokes aged in spite of all the changes to technology and society since the episode released.

Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but *two* whole channels of just Star Trek!

The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!

The only downside to this is well, ads lol
