I'm looking to make my first 3d game, my first "real" game. I know that 3d is hard and that I'm way out there for trying this, but I want to be strategic about this. Would modding a Source game be a good idea instead of trying to recreate mechanics in Godot?I was thinking of using the source engine and HL,adding my own logic on top of it for scripting since it already handles physics, gunplay, story telling, and vehicles for me. I'm not actually that interested in learning how to do all this stuff from scratch, I just want to make a demo game for fun and learn something new.
>>107748142Unless you want to make an FPS don't make a Source mod, use Unity instead as a gp game engine
>>107748878I do want to make a FPS game, specifically a campaign with co-op which is why I am thinking of making a Source mod. A HL2 mod would give me vehicles, story scripting, already great AI I can extend with scripting, and the source SDK gives me multiplayer with server browser and client/server model. I just don't see any reason why I should do all of that from scratch in Unity or Godot, and the only issue I see is I need flying vehicles (it's a sci-fi space game) if I plan to make this a game. But I know C++ so it would be a lot easier to extend the Source engine then write everything from scratch. I know my post sounds like I'm already sold on making a Source mod, but I'm still open to any suggestions and I know nothing about gamedev besides writing arcade games in C++
Glorious 20fps webm of my bone animation attempt. Which, honestly, took much less time than I anticipated. On the bad news front, I had to scrap a bunch of code ( about 3k LoC ) because what I wanted to make turned out to be way too complicated.Project reached 127k LoC at this moment.On unrelated note, these new captachs are cancer.

Hyprpaper not working with new hyprland update. It's not reading the wallpaper anymore. Anyone know a fix?

So I have an external drive for some files and Steam. I kinda use it for both Linux and Windows. How I should format it? Should I leave it as NTFS or I should install some driver on windows to read these new formats? I read somewhere that exfat isn't good because it's easy to corrupt stuff, but NTFS support is limited on Linux.
First time edition!!!The last thread was ages ago and I missed seeing some cool setups! I apologize if I'm missing anything cause this is my first time posting one of these, hopefully we can share some nice setups!!
>>107705502>>107702662Performative nerd
>>107748827I'm not gay or a trans. the wallpaper is Saya from Saya no uta, which is a visual novel that I like (it's also a book but the book versions not as good as the game)>>107748829it's always good to make a room look as nice as you want at the start because once you move furniture in painting it becomes more tricky. personally I like wood grains which white paint. feature walls are dead and black and blues make rooms feel cramped. some wallpapers can work but are annoying to install, I would never install wallpaper on my own
>>107748865It's currently an off-white room with some wear and tear on it so it needs some repaint. I've moved my furniture because it's a house I've been living in for ages. Not wallpapers, but just posters that are framed. I guess central to my question is if it's worth the effort because since I'm a loser who can't afford to move out/rent my own place, but make enough money to upgrade my environment. Always wanted a personal atelier, a nice creative room. I have enough space for another desk so I can do some warhammer painting
>>107748827oh also why not the Mac stand? I don't really use it for anything apart from writing psychology papers
>>107748890it depends on the budget. I'd spend maybe 200 all up redoing a room, then maybe 200 on decorations depending on how bleak it looksgot a pic?also off white out of style in favour of real whites or greens suprisingly but I don't like green that much
people on tech twitter are all spamming you have to use agents and claude 4.5i feel like an old man writing code by hand, am i missing something? granted i haven’t seen them shipping shit but fomo feels.
>>107746274at this point of time, only faggots could tolerate that way of "coding", i.e. talking.if AI becomes good enough to replace you, it's game over for everybody, including the faggots.before that happens, enjoy coding as your own mental entertainment.
>>107748577no you don't have to. let faggots go through that suffering, if it leads to improvement of AI and destruction of humanity. you don't have to be part of it.
>>107748577ok, then I think you've seen most of what it can do. The rest of the stuff the people on twitter are doing are giving it access to directly grep for things and edit various files, so they tell it "Implement feature X" and it goes off and does it without having to use the chat window as a go-between.
After much internal debate I decided to give chatbots a try. But I kept getting distracted and leaving the tab open for hours untouched in the background. It's just not as mentally stimulating as writing code.
>>107746274You're missing nothing, AI code makes you spend longer debugging it and understanding what its actually doing. Use it to solve problems you have with your OWN code that you wrote (or attempted to) first if you feel you even have to use it.Otherwise just don't, there is no need to bother with it.

>>107748346>QSW-M5216-1T-USyou are too stupid and too far in for us to give you good advice. you wouldn't take it even if you could understand it.
I'm aware I picked the worst possible time to be trying this, but I'm doing it anyway:>want to make a SMB server from a mini PC I have on-hand>storage pool will contain many small-files (servicing up to ~3 clients simultaneously in a 'write once/modify rarely, read often' workflow; eg. photo and password DB backups)>as the mini-PC can fit a boot drive + 2x M.2 devices, in my head a ZFS mirror of 2x 4TB drives would make sense (I already have 2x32GB SODIMMs to max it out on RAM, and even if not ECC I can send incremental snapshots to my existing TrueNAS warm-storage system)Looking around, the cheapest [in Australian dollars/AUD] DRAM-equipped 4TB drive I can find is a Crucial T705 for $541 imported via Amazon (~135$/TB), and that one is a bit of an anomaly as the second cheapest is a Kingston KC3000 for $599 (~150$/TB) and the costs rapidly shoot up to >200$/TB from there.Even among other PCIe Gen5 drives the T705 is regarded to run hot and be especially power hungry (likely why it's on such a deep discount), but if I install a pair of them into PCIe Gen3 slots would that attenuate the inefficiencies of the NAND/storage controller?Failing that, I'm considering these->https://cplonline.com.au/wd-wds400t1r0c-western-digital-wd-red-sn700-4tb-nvme-nas-ssd.htmlThey're apparently just consumer drives with a few additional NAS-oriented firmware features unlocked, but that plus the 5-year local warranty may be enough to justify them in the context of the current market where I'm paying 600~800 AUD per drive anyway.

How is RedoxOS coming along? It'd be nice to have a usable microkernel operating system.
>>107746959That's how Unix on the PDP-11 worked. If you wanted to load drivers, you had to recompile and relink the kernel. The kernel was called /unix, then /vmunix when they added virtual memory. There were no kernel modules or loadable drivers.
>>107747122And it has absolutely nothing to do with the concept of a monokernel (running stuff in the same address space), or with the API by which its services are accessed. If it's a static blob at boottime or individual modules that can be loaded in doesn't matter (except maybe for the sake of optimizations).
>>107740569It's going along. I wish they properly committed to the "everything is a URI" thing though, it was a pretty cool idea.>>107741408seL4 begs to differ.
>>107747677>seL4 begs to differCompared to what? More mode switches and copies will always be more expensive than less mode switches and copies, and the smaller your kernel is, the more mode switches there will be.
>>107740569Cute toy OS with a cuck license.
Fucking trash operating system rebooted again while I was making this thread and lost everything I had written. I am so beyond mad dealing with this trash tinkertranny OS. If I had installed Linux I would of been done long ago but noooooo... This piece of trash had me blocked from using the laptop I bought because it wanted to use my Microsoft account without any other option. It wanted my fucking Microsoft password and it withhold my fucking laptop for ransom until I gave it the fucking Microsoft password to my account. I will post this now before it reboots again but I am not done.
>>107747294XP and up had telemetry built into them. It's called the Consumer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and was OFF by default. It never nagged you to turn it on either.A number of those Windows Updates just added more telemetry capture scenarios to CEIP in Windows 7 (and maybe 8). What is truly concerning are the Windows Updates that added the Diagnostics Tracking Service to 7 & 8 (10 has it built-in), which I've never found any good documentation on what this service does
