I think they mean “In real world.” They want the Geek Squad for a Framework running Mint/Ubuntu/Elementary/etc.

It’s true, they’re hiring you to start the project.

It got removed over “consistency” concerns time to make every single cross walk rainbow, you know, for consistency.

Does that mean creators can now swear in the first 30 seconds?

I would recommend starting with an engine–it doesn’t much matter which and follow several tutorials. The exact amount will vary based on your programming experience and game design knowledge. Once you’ve followed some tutorials start trying to connect concepts from different tutorials to make something new that you weren’t explicitly guided to. After you’ve done that a few times, start a new project and try to make something from scratch and use reference materials, documentation, and tutorials to help you when you get stuck.

Start small. Now even smaller. Tic tac toe is a reasonable first project. It will teach you how to use the UI library, user input, game state, scene transitions, basic AI for a computer opponent, etc.

Then do some game jams. There’s a lot hosted all the time on itch.io. You don’t have to finish, but it gives you good practice, let’s you see what’s possible in a weekend, and let’s you connect with others that love game dev.

I’ve seen a lot of comments encouraging you to try out Godot. It’s a great engine, and with its resource library and active community it can be a good choice, but it doesn’t hold your hand. There’s very little logic that is pre-produced and ready for you to tweak. You start with nothing and build what you want rather than starting with a template (though there are templates available in the resource library). I’ve used a lot of engines and Godot is my personal preference, but depending on your experience Scratch or Unreal may be better options for the easy of use and active communities/tutorials.

Yeah, I worded that oddly. I don’t really bring it up, but I’m not putting myself in a position where I need to explain that to my evangelical grandparents or parents.

I’m pan, but tell most people I’m bi so I don’t have to have an argument about the distinction between a term they likely know and is close enough and something they haven’t heard of.

So we tried all the illegal options first?

Is that not the natural state of trees?

This isn’t one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

Be respectful of others.

Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

Gonna ignore you now since you don’t have an answer to my question.

1. I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn’t mean I haven’t answered.
2. That’s your right as much as it’s my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

It seems you don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.

Freedom of speech means the government can’t get you in trouble for what you say.

Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want–they’re private entities who’s own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you’re an acceptable entity to keep around.

If you think you’re an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.

Sure it is.

And even if it weren’t that doesn’t make your comment about you getting butt hurt from someone telling you to be better for seeking out where you can be a bigot any less ironic.

Perhaps you should rephrase your post then to indicate you’re actually interested in bigotry affirming instances instead of instances that refrain from being a government entity that controls expression.

They are different.

Pretty much any Lemmy instances I suspect supports freedom of speech. There’s not really any evidence that admins are colluding with the feds to control what you say.

What may be happening is admins deciding of their own volition to not platform certain types of comments. Notably that doesn’t stop you or anyone else from saying whatever; it just means you gotta do it somewhere else, like your own instance.

This is the most ironic comment ever.
