  • Back in university I published my first games in Unity. Compared with the competition is was brilliant. It was free, it’s bugs could be worked around compared to GameMaker, and on paper if you game ever got popular the software would scale with you and you could publish your games on any platform you want.

    I can’t say the same thing now, since I can’t trust Unity after their policy changes. Planning on moving to Godot when (read if) I start my next project.







  • I had this discussion (read argument) back on reddit a while back. And it’s about 15 to 20 years or at the time people were calling PS1/N64 Retro during the PS3 era.

    By my math systems like the PS3 and Xbox 360 are now “retro”, at least for some kids. I defiantly feel dated when some kid shows up on a PSP thread going on about their Dad’s old PSP. And it’s weird to think that the Vita and 3DS are about to fall into that camp.













  • So I have a Framework 13 AMD with Mint. Framework on older firmware isn’t the best, but with Mint 22 and by extension 24.04 it’s fine.

    Got mine back in December and had no issues with the installation process. Games play fine though the fan goes to 100% after a bit. But with power profile in 22.1 it can quiet the machine down.

    Other than that and the occasional hiccup. Compared to other laptops it’s the best machine I’ve used. So far no issues with only a few times of opening the terminal to fix minor issues.
