How to get rid of this?

This extra thing appears when I when to type a command, i'm not sure how to stop it from appearing. I'm on windows and this is currently gvim but it behaves the same in other ways of instancing vim

Ladies and Gentlemen I randomly gained 2 inches

I walked past this wooden bar I usually tilt my head (I usually barely touch it, just intuitive), but this time it felt different.

I walk back to it, and I outgrew the wooden bar.

I measured my height again and yep, 6'5 -> 6'7 (~200cm) in less than a year when I thought I stopped growing already.

I'm 20M btw, African is that matters 😭, I should probably give up on dating anyone here and also update my height on here

I had a feeling this was the end

Just finished the game... I didn't cry because I already ugly cried just watching videos about it and trying to understand the lore.

First game I've bought this year and I totally have no regrets.

I can't wait to make fan art for it too.

This is my lesson to play a game first before digging into it through youtube, I really wanted to experience the eel attack lol

Gabe was right about Piracy.

Got the game off fitgirl weeks ago, steam sale started i think 3 days ago for $2.99. I just had to.

Hoping my account doesn't get banned for some reason because I actually read the steam policy about licenses and I wish they one day change it to full ownership instead of license bs

Edit: I didn't mean steam could ban my account for pirating.

To C# or not to C#?

Hello everyone, I'm mostly a C# dev in the game Dev side of my life, I mostly use C++ and python.

I used C# literally only because I used Unity before deciding to switch to Godot.

With the nature of the C# language, having to download some packages in almost every build or atleast having to communicate with nuget.

I'm honestly thinking of just ditching it.

I just wanted to know, from those who use gdscript, is it enough for Godot? Any performance drawbacks? Any feature from C# or other languages you wish was in Gdscript?

I'm starting to despise tools that do this.

Thank you

My reply to this Video [Because it spreads alot of misinformation]

Hello everyone, I dunno how most will conceive this but here's a respond i made on the comment of the video. The channel is death now btw, just like every other art channel that couldn't maintain an audience base with the improvement of generative AI.

Here you go, its a very long read (long write😪)

-----------------------------------------------------

I would like to ask you to pin that one comment made 3yrs ago. Putting something online doesn't make it public domain, the licensing behind it makes it public domain or not. By law, the creator of some art work gets this 'free' copyright protecting his work, whether he puts it online or not. So your usage of 'public domain' is completely wrong. First of all, I'm not an 'AI art' person, and I'm not a non-AI person, I just don't get any satisfaction from using it. I don't mind someone using AI however they want, I just don't think someone should use a tool to create something with no experience and claim they're very good at that skill even better than someone who put in thousand of hours into learning and mastering that skill. I'm an artist and a programmer, when AI tools first got mainstream (I'm talking 2021-2022), just before we had image generation, we had code generation. When vscode AI autocomplete extensions first hit the market, it obviously got shoved into vscode by default. That time I was venturing more into Unity game development, the moment AI would generate some snippet of code, if it's a reasonable amount of code, i would recognize that exact snippet from a github repo (I'm saying this because people think anything uploaded to github means it's free to use for whatever, completely wrong. Licensing is all that matters, you can't steal someone's work either directly or indirectly using AI). And i didn't enjoy coding with it either. Normally, most licenses permit you to use their content for educational purposes only, that;s quite alright, you can use someone's code or artwork for studies, references etc AS long as you don't try to do commercial activities with what them either directly or not. Yes AI was made using ML, takes data of any form, neural networks blah blah blah. It technically still have a pointer/reference to that original work, those signatures or more specific vectors that store those data, can still be used to get the original work. Just like how every compiled software can be decompiled, basically software is meant to be decompilable? The developers were allowed to use data from 'public domain' for educational purposes like training their AI models, testing it and all. But the problem lies when something OpenAI emerged, trying to profit off it. That's the problem. Bruh I honestly thought AI would be that tool to improve our livelihood, carryout research, perform large calculations and all, at a point it was even advertised to facilitate on the finding a cure for cancer. Where are we now? generating images at the cost of very very large compute power? I just think the whole 'AI image/sound/code generation' is completely unnecessary, uses a lot of power for what? people's amusement? I work mainly in the energy industry, particularly renewable energy, we're taught to manage power usage, have only what's necessary running concurrently, lower emissions and all, why? protect the earth? TL;DR AI is necessary, AI 'revolution' is inevitable BUTTT the whole 'AI art' and 'AI songs' and 'AI coding' tools being marketed by AI companies is just total bullshit of selfish capitalism, rather focus the ability of having so much knowledge in a single tool to improve people's livelihood, health and research sectors are the only ones that should be using AI, I would dare to say it should be completely locked only to them just like it has always been (yes AI has been something right from the 90s). I'm sorry if my writing is so rampant, i don't have good writing/speaking skills and I'm working on that. some typos have been left cus they don't confuse anyone from reading.

Until I die, I'll continue doing/learning ART and not using AI for whatever unless I know the very first training was based on actual licensed data for training and commercial use. btw I love art and there's no 'bad art' only ART and 'AI slopdogshit'

Edit: It's actually kinda funny how they mostly don't want to disclose their images were made using AI... i wonderbcs a photography would easily tell you even the exact model of the camera he used, a traditional painter would easily tell you the brush type he used and a digital artists would easily (maybe not free) give you their brush pack. I honestly feel some sadness for someone who enjoys 'AI art' they never get to enjoy what it actually means to be an artist.

TLDR for reddit; AI art is trash but please don't bully someone, just ignore it (you're free to dislike/downvote the post) and just keep creating your art!

Palettes shows duplicates? is this a krita bug or just me

I also don't think I've messed with palette before, the only resources i've installed are brushpacks. Thank you

Do I need to create an Indie Studio?

For context, I found out my country actually has a company hosting Video Game Dev Expos every year, it gave me some motivation to work on something to maybe showcase at th next event.

But now, is it advisable for me to create a separate entity of an indie Studio? Or should I just stick to using my personal name?

Right now I do almost everything from scratch on my own, I'm thinking of getting someone to help with music (maybe not hire for salary atleast for now).

Are there any advantages?

Anyone with experience on this?

What is stopping you from switching to Renewable Energy sources instead of ENEO (SOCADEL)?

For context, I'm a final year engineering student, major in Renewable Energy and Minor in Computer Science at the University of Buea.

It has come the time I need to work on my final year project (both Design and B.Tech), to be honest renewable energy has barely been my interest.

I want to know, why don't you want to maybe buy a solar system for your home? Or even build a simple small hydro?

Is it the cost?

Is it because you're not sure if it's a good idea or?

Is it a lack of knowledge on the idea?

Please, I need any suggestions of what can be done for you to at least have Renewable Energy as an option for power supply with uncertainty of the main centralised grid (ENEO/SOCADEL)

3D Top-Down Action camera like Escape from Duckov [C# version]

Hey everyone!

I needed a smooth top-down camera system for my project. I found the exact one I needed, but it was written in GDScript.

I translated it into C# and wanted to share the results.

Big thanks to Gemforge Games for the original GDScript version!

Better demonstration video: video on yt

You can check out the C# source code here: github

Let me know what you think!
