    (that sentence sounds stupid out of context lol)
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    oh well that's fine
    the only reason I know of this is because I used to make stupid shit with love

  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I don't know much about Lua if that wasn't immediately obvious lol
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    yeah that's kind of the whole idea
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    It seems to be a very performance driven solution
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    there's also luajit which is pretty darn fast compared to lua https://luajit.org/performance.html
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    It's called MoonGL
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Oh dang they have!
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I mean directly write OpenGl hardware accelerated programs
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Because if so, the simplified syntax of Lua and the complexity of OpenGl may marry well
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    If that's the case, I wonder if someone has made it possible to use OpenGl with Lua
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    That's actually really cool, I didn't know you could embed it into C/C++ projects
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    yeah the idea is that you modify your c/c++/whatever program that embeds it without recompiling everything
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I've heard that it's used in imbedded systems and such
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    It's surprisingly fast for being such a high level language
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I haven't messed around in LUA much, but I really should get more comfortable with it
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Wow, that's a very nice looking sfx/graphics library
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    there's also love which is a really cool framework for making graphical stuff in lua
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    It's kind of like cringing for when people advertise an "easy way to make games" but it's essentially a level editor for a larger application
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    fair enough
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Besides, I kinda have a personal bias towards projects that aren't made open source and require a watermark of sorts and/or use a proprietary file format for the finished product and require a secondary product to run it
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I'd use it, but the UI is a hurdle
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    It's a really cool little project
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Oh, I remember that thing! It's essentially a mock ide that requires some creativity
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    what I find really cool though is all of the demos that all of the different groups wrote for computers like the amiga
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    this remonds me of pico-8 which is a ""console"" that has built in limitations for that same idea of doing creative shit with it
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    That kind of thing really makes me appreciate the effort that was put into old software and games
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    The idea that you could get more frames from an animation by just shifting the color pallet
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    His video on sonic 3d blast's opening and game over animations blew my mind! It's such an ingenious and creative solution
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    oh yeah I used to watch him, he's a cool dude
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    There's a channel on youtube called coding secrets that's ran by an old-school game dev that worked on some retro games and he makes videos on some of the effects he used in his games
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I think that listening to developer interviews, like some of the Steam commentaries in games like Portal, shows a really interesting perspective on that
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Oh certainly!

    people forget that limitations are a driving force for creativity

    and dedicated 5usd server with 500gb storage
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Nope. I just use 1tb external hard drives. Already have four laying around
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Also, I'll probably read that. I'm interested what he says
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Do you have a preferred/trusted NAS server producer?

    I don't know if anyone shares this woe, but I find It sad that optimization and reducing seems to be a lost art for large tech companies and game studios

    Go read the internaut's article lmao. It's basically about that
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    That's not that bad of an idea
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Scalable, affordable and relatively proffessional
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Nowdays, game updates for things like CyberPunk are 70 GBs and change next to nothing but a menu option
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Alright, hear me out. Cheapest 4 drive NAS you can find and just buy one 5TB drive each month

    and once again blu-rays are written off due to a high level of impracticality ;_;

    I can't imagine having to fumble around in a cd case for all of my crap
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I mean in the most literal extent
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Yeah, that's scalable alright
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    lmao
