I'm in canada so last week wasn't Thanksgiving for me, it was in October

But it was pretty good, visited some family in Toronto

Yeah crunch in gamedev tends to be pretty bad. (Although there's also fun crunch in gamejams I bring upon myself but thats less of a job)

The game industry in general is something I'm likely going to avoid for a primary job due to low pay and stress and just be something I do as a hobby. Been enjoying doing web dev in internships

The issue is theres a large amount of things admins can do and you might not want to let people in charge of doing one task have access to something else

E.g. you can have people only for application accepting and not let them edit the instance itself or communities, or only community management and can't do things like defederate from other instances

Its more complicated than just an admin role but it shouldn't matter for people other than admins that its a mechanic

Instances can make as many roles as they want so they can just have admin if they want though but this lets them make them as needed

yeah should hopefully calm down tomorrow now that the initial jump is done and since youre doing it relative to what the values used to be so the values themselves shouldnt matter

there might still be spikes from dead communities suddenly getting activity (since the increase from 0 is much larger those communities would go to the top of the list. Could artificially decrease large active user changes from the instance by taking the square root of the percent instead of the actual percent for percents above 100% (1) or something)

Taking into account votes is going to be how the active users is handled for any instances running pangora (lemmy fork)

Viewing the instance communities from another instance thats just using lemmy will show the old stats if needed though

im in my fourth year at the university but the uni considers me third year due to me being in a co-op program since they dont have a fifth year standing

the title of the post is the first X characters of the post on mastodon

X cause I forget how many

Gif seems to have broken with the visuals cause it cant handle the gradient but the functionality is visible

thats due to me seeding it in other instances. In order for a community to show posts in an instance it needs to be subscribed to by one user in the instance so theres 1 account in 26 instances (some seem to be erroring rn though) that all sub to it

the followers there are lemmy subs

You can post directly from mastodon by mentioning the community, no login here needed

Well it reached the threshold even though it was a bit more contested so there does seem to be interest

And content that would be posted is different enough from dotnet in the same sense c# is different from dotnet. + Theres a community on mastodon for post creators

I would be willing to make it but with the same way gamedev is currently handled where its strongly recommended to crosspost posts to dotnet

Community is up at [email protected] (and I seeded it in other instances). If you make a post ill transfer the community to you

Defold doesnt like people using their logo without contacting them so its using one that looks kind of similar for now

I realized I cant check other instances individually with my stat system so I just took the average from all instances

for all communities that are visible to the instance 61% are dead so our instance is doing better than average

Hello everyone! The idea of a game jam got thrown out in one of the threads in the godot community and I wanted to throw out the question here to gauge how many people would be interested in having one run!

If so, some things that would need to be determined are when to run it and for how long should it running for. In addition there was the idea of having it be about making tutorial projects to show off what game engines can do and how to do things in them (referring to Godot but can be generalized to all of them). Or we can instead just run a standard game jam and possibly have that as an optional diversifier if people want

For those who don't know what a game jam is its an event where you make a game in a small period of time (2 days, 3 days, 2 weeks, etc. depending on the jam)

Feel free to comment below to give some input on how the jam should be run if you're interested or upvote to show interest in the idea! If enough people are ill set up a jam page

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! This is a weekly thread where you can post any kind of tutorial for how to do things using Godot or request one from others

Text tutorials, video tutorials, image tutorials, linking to a post in the community, etc. are all allowed. If you feel it deserves its own post feel free to instead post it as a separate post and then link it here
