Is there anything more cringe in 2025 than sending an AI prompt to the group chat?

Woooo!!!!

One of the reasons I’m most productive in coffee shops. Even more so when I forget my charger and the clock starts ticking.

My all time favorite game. Real time tactics and great lore. Still feels very unique almost 30 years later.

Nice! That will definitely be helpful.

I broke it trying to refactor to ReactLua. Was putting off Rojo for “reasons”

I moved stuff around enough that I think I’m beyond studio’s place history being useful.

Not terrible, needed to redesign it anyways, but there were some things I’d figured out that now I need to do over.

Hammers ARE pretty great…

Still happy I decided to rewrite the UI in ReactLua though.

I put off using Rojo and now I’ve completely broken everything and can’t figure out how to revert. Hopefully this is a rite of passage in #robloxdev

Are there beer leagues for esports?

Sounds a lot like one of my favorite series

Yeah, I’m putting a lot of work into my game, but I think it’s more fair to say that Roblox is handling at least 70% of what it takes to get that game in front of players. Managing the servers alone is at least that.

TIL about Roblox units

1 stud = 28 cm

“Overall, it's recommended that you use standard Roblox units because it makes an experience work as expected in all scenarios, such as compatibility with VR controls.”

Enums for what? Things like county codes, time zones, languages, currencies, etc?

The challenge is to choose 20 games that greatly influenced you. One game per day, for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, no particular order.

I’ve seen people say that #robloxdev is bad ROI, but is there a lower barrier to entry for solo devs? They provide the ide, hosting, and onboarding channels. That seems like a lot.

I feel like Gen AI is really good for creating mood boards to send to actual artists.

Roblox React is a huge help creating complex UI, but wonder if Roblox Angular wouldn’t be an even better fit.

Definitely going to need some optimizations 😅

Ah, that’s really cool

Is that Rojo in action?

I did this. We used envars at the time to determine dev/test/prod. Set it to prod to troubleshoot a customer problem. Never unset it and ran the test suite…

Bought the bundle as a gift. I’ve also been really enjoying the Chrono Trigger story on Audible, so if you’re thinking about whether to make more audio books, this is a +1 from me!

Finally taking some time to go through this Corvian Marketing template. As a dev with no marketing background, it helps me realize what I don’t know. I thought “target audience” just meant “people who like games like BedWars.” The channels and strategies section helped break it down.

Lol I read this as “chorus drop” which I realize now isn’t what they meant.

Anyways, here’s my favorite chorus drop. Built starts at 3:20, drop at 3:30

Halo 2

Love the chants and drums, plus some great guitar riffs.

That thing you’ve been looking for for forever and finally found it, But you don’t need it right now, so you put it somewhere you’ll definitely remember the next time need it.
