I'd say learn blender, lots of tutorials online for it. Only hotkey you have to remember F3 because you can use it to search any hotkey action.

For game engine, I'm a big fan of Godot. It's kind of like blender of game engines right now. Super lightweight, very customizable, quite user friendly.

it’s so cool that the tech world is driving themselves miserable and insane to build apps

The older I get, the less I feel the need to prove myself to the world by making something at the very edge of my limit. I'm more interested in making things I can show or give to the people who I regularly see irl.

One of many reasons why I'm not focusing on high-fidelity immersive games like I used to. When friends or family wanted to buy it for their Mac or switch, just had to shrug and say oopsie

Also, cohesive realistic 3d is insanely time consuming

Huh. For some reason I thought it had co-op. Carry on!

syncing something like ocean waves to multiple player sounds like a logistical nightmare

The amount of tomfoolery that happens during a loading screen is sickening

On hold for now.

Unfortunately full-time gamedev wouldn't be consistent enough revenue to pay rent with. I'm working on a new workflow to eventually make bigger games like Anemoiapolis again - with the benefit of having a career outside of games to fall back on.

I'm a simple man. I see procedural building and I smile

Kdenlive is completely open source but I'm not sure if it's more or less similar

DaVinci resolve if you have used final cut or Adobe premiere before.

Thanks for giving godot a facelift! It feels like a blender 2.8 moment, where the software starts to feel less like a toy and more like a professional suite.

Agreed. Some recent inventions are:
- mmWave sensors. Basically superman x-ray vision, fits in an iphone. Not appealing to those who like to wear clothes.
- webGPU. Runs heavy apps like games natively in the browser, which weakens media ownership
- M4 chips (good)
- M2 drives (even better)

Thanks a bunch! Had problems installing LMMS but I'll try Ardour first

Nice, starting to see why FL has cornered the market here

For real? I did kinda assume DRM was part of the deal, I've been abused by Adobe for too long 😭

I didn't realize FL does free upgrades without a subscription, seems like a good deal given how long they have stayed relevant

Bespoke Synth maxes out at like 32 bar measures, so I gotta go out and find a better program to compose with

Is FL studio worth buying? I can't find consensus on an 'obvious choice' open source DAW. There's Kdenlive/davinci for editing, blender for 3d, godot for games, but for music... ?

I don't necessarily care about beginner friendliness, I'm getting really into bespoke synth right now.

Okay I think I've figured out Godot enough. I've always wanted to make tycoon games, now its time to make a powerful modular system that I can re-use for multiple tycoon games in a row. A tycoon tycoon, if you will

Someday we will all become stencil

Uh oh, looks like you'll have to sign the ah, the uh um bsky.app/profile/fera...

This is the second most normal American thing to do. #1 is concealed carry at waffle house

Sweet, I'll have to check it out

To be fair, they bought a placebo which is likely what Havana syndrome is. Maybe their next target is Dumbo's feather.

If you can't find one, use a modern mirrorless camera with the ISO maxed out. You can replicate an old camera sensor that way as long as exposure/aperture are reduced. Or you can use a 3ds camera, which is what zoomers use for music videos

According to the blog I stole this picture from, it can hit a respectable 15 fps on Cyberpunk 2077. I bet it could run crisis on medium/high no problem

Haha yeah I already encrypted the hard drive and dual-booted the OS, what's a little extra latency?

I'm worried my pc is bottlenecked can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Democrats are so cooked right now. It's such an underestimation of the magnitude of what's going on.
