    So I am making a video game.....

    Most of the tutorials will focus on platformers, side scrolling shooters or FPS games just due the mechanical simplicity of those types of games. Beat-em-ups are a bit more complex as far as input handling and hit detection goes.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    It's currently a violent terrorist cult. If Trump wins, it morphs into a violent fascist regime.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    I can't blame Biden for not expanding the Supreme Court. He literally can't, that's the job of Congress, and well.. The Dems in Congress dropped the ball on that back before the 2022 elections.

    Police behaving badly

    Maybe having a public defender sitting in on police interrogations would be a good start. As it stands now police have too much leeway when it comes to post-arrest questioning. Having an advocate for the accused be in the room during the questioning even without the suspect asking for one...

    Police behaving badly

    Yea, and in the case in question they immediately went with using psychological manipulation techniques to coerce a murder confession without any real evidence the 'victim' was dead. There was no legitimate 'police work' here. They just wanted a confession so they wouldn't actually have to...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Hopefully, but I won't hold my breath. Frankly I'd GLADLY have my phone be a few MM thicker so I could replace the battery without removing glue, but late-stage capitalism won't allow it.

    Hate that you seem to be right on this.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Well, given the stuff Apple has been getting away with for years, of COURSE Samsung is gonna try to do something similar, seems to be their MO. Granted, Samsung doesn't have the cultural momentum Apple does, at least not in Western markets.

    Police behaving badly

    Interrogation techniques like that should be illegal across the board.. It's not about actual justice at that point, it's about 'closing the case'. "Interactions in Real Time" from Babylon 5 is meant as a cautionary tale, not a playbook.....

    With any luck, this will get a few more of the apathetic section of the LGBTQ+ community to wise up and go to the polls in November.

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    Time for malicious compliance.. Just do light red(AKA pink), light blue and white. Technically it's still red white and blue.

    AI don't trust techbros

    I'll have to respectfully disagree with the middle part of that statement, but I will wholeheartedly agree with the rest. Shame Palm bought it and then vanished. Bits and pieces of it were used in WebOS, though, so at least a sliver BeOS lives on in some capacity on LG TV's(granted, not the...

    AI don't trust techbros

    Actually, I have a soft spot for Haiku(Used BeOS for a bit back in the late 90s), but until it gets hardware 3d acceleration support, I just can't use it much.

    AI don't trust techbros

    Yet another reason NOT to upgrade to 11, though I run Linux most of the time anyway. Windows is only around for the odd game that I can't get working properly on Proton or the occasional pc game pass subscription.(which is essentially the same as the former)

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    A vote for Biden might not be a strong vote against fascism, but a vote for Trump is a pretty strong vote FOR fascism. Hopefully by November people realize that. If you think Biden is bad for the Palestinians, wait till you get a load of Trump. As horrible as it feels, this election is about...

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    Not surprised she is confusing gender expression and culture. Trans people, outside of the non-binary and genderfluid ones, generally take on the gender norms of the culture they live in, so a trans person's dress and mannerisms will vary from region to region. The universal aspect being a...

    I love the IDEA of America, but the implementation needs a LOT of work.
