I Had To Hack Into NTAUTHORITY in the Name of Socially Distant...
This is the story of the worst pain I have ever suffered trying to get GitLab Pipelines to work on a local Windows VM. It's a story of hardship, null-checks, and why I needed to privilege-escalate as NTAUTHORITY\SYSTEM just to add a very specific registry key. Isn't game development fun? :)

  • @softwarelivre2389
    @softwarelivre2389 Před 2 měsíci

    About funding, here's what I think: You can develop the project as far as possible, and then, instead of waiting for funding, you can partner with audio and graphic designers to finish the assets, and you launch the game with them as partners, sharing the revenue. This way, everybody wins and the game gets finished. If they buy into the idea and believe it is viable, then it can work out.

    • @softwarelivre2389
      @softwarelivre2389 Před 2 měsíci

      And it is much more attractive to other game developers to enter in a project that's already quite advanced, has a unique proposal and requires little effort for them (mainly assets). So don't be disencouraged, things can and will work out.

    Why don't you write your own version of Bejewed in C or Rust? That'd be a small break from Socially Distant and would renew your energies, and you'd practice something that isn't C#.

    • @acidiclight
      @acidiclight Před 2 měsíci

      I've been doing .NET for as long as I've been programming. I know C and C++ already, I don't have interest in learning Rust at all (C# does everything Rust can that I need it to do, and is perfectly fine for memory safety). Problem with writing a Bejeweled clone is it'd be a Bejeweled clone, and thus I can't sell it. That'd be plagiarism.

      There is a trick to it. I did another playthrough right after uploading this and I'm at level 6. Basically you have to match higher up in the board, try to make matches that cause other matches to be possible, and become emotionally attached to hypercubes (do not use them unless you ABSOLUTELY have to)

    • @acidiclight
      @acidiclight Před 2 měsíci

      One other thing I noticed: if you do need to use a hypercube, try to match two of them together. It clears the entire board, and you get the two hypercubes back.

    I'd like something like this and have a voice saying comments to me when they appear because I only have one monitor and am often in full screen playing a game when streaming. I get in the flow state so I often read comments way to late. I don't know how I would manage an overlay for YT chat on my DWM build. If I used Streamlabs, it'd probably work but I like FFMpeg too much to let it go lmao. Great work on this!

    I think this was happening to me a few days ago -- when triggering "Present windows" it would just freeze solid for a couple of seconds until I hit escape about a million times in frustration. Lasted for a couple of hours and then just went away. [edit] Not sure now -- from the description here it seems like it shouldn't just fix itself. My ~/ is mounted on a crypt partition though, so I can imagine it bottlenecking if KWin is absolutely hammering disk I/O in that cache dir.

    That's interesting. I have a similar issue on my Linux system running Mint and Xorg. But for me the whole display blinks black xD I need to move the cursor or even better some windows (update many pixels) for it to stop flashing. Most often it happens after returning from sleep state but not always and sometimes just randomly during use. And as for you it doesn't happen on Windows, so I'd rule out hardware issues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Every once in a while I get weird slowdowns, so thanks for pointing out another possible reason. I'll try deleting kwin's cache and see if that eliminates it. I only within the last year or so moved to Slackware 15 from 14.2+{tons of hacks}, and I found that a weird scrolling bug from konsole got fixed finally. So maybe I should update more than once every decade.
