Ready to get annihilated for this but it's a major turnoff that it's all just furry and brony art. Take a corner and leave the rest of the canvas for something actually good. The point of Canvas is ruined when 90% of people participating are clearly one community taking over the whole thing. Previous years had the same issue but this time it's even worse.

    You were practically unable to move/rotate/scale control nodes inside of containers, and when you tried the containers would often override it and cause weird behavior. This made animating or moving control nodes in general super finicky and messy.

    Transform offsets let you offset the control node and move it around without actually affecting the normal transform, allowing you to do cool effects and animations regardless of whether it's a container or not. It's also something you can easily reset or enable/disable so you can just play the animation and move the offsets back to zero, rather than having to keep track of where the node is actually supposed to be.

    Control node offset transforms is finally in, I almost shed a tear reading this. I've been following the PR for the longest time and even upgraded some projects to 4.7 beta specifically to make animating UI not a pain in the ass. Now it's finally in stable. THE WAIT FOR GODOT IS FINALLY OVER.

    If you're playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.

    If anyone here games a lot, I'd recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).

    Looks great, I was never a framework believer because it was so overpriced (to an extent it still is), but this sounds way better and might actually be a good deal. Aside from the specs bump, they fixed almost all of the issues with the older frameworks (CEO talks more about it in this video).

    Better build quality and less flex, better screen, better speakers, and a better touchpad. The biggest issue I heard about it was that it felt a bit cheap and wobbly because of all the moving parts, but if they manage to fix that, I might actually get it some day.

    In the pic: Anbernic RG35XX-H playing Castlevania: Dracula X

    I’ve been thinking about buying one of these for a while but finally bit the bullet now that companies have started raising prices due to the RAM/chip shortage…

    And it turned out to be the best purchase I’ve made in a while! It’s a ton of fun gaming on this little thing. I flashed a custom operating system on it and am now playing Castlevania & Secrets of Mana with RetroAchievements support (which adds achievements and progress tracking to retro games).

    I’m also playing a lot of random PICO-8 games since it runs on the device and I can easily browse and play free games on it. Low-key wish I had bought it sooner with how neat it is.

    Anybody else have a retro handheld here?

    This is really good if you're wondering what a publishing company's contract might look like. They published it to give gamedevs an idea of what they should expect.

    They're also celebrating funding 24 different games! I wonder when those will start coming out.

    I'm currently working on a file converter app that lets you easily convert your files in bulk without needing to mess around with 500 settings or confusing command-line apps. It's mostly a replacement for all those "convert X to Y" websites.

    This is just a front-end for ffmpeg and imagemagick, but the goal is to make something so simple even my parents could use without uploading sensitive files to shady websites on the internet. I've looked around, and I found all the local GUI converters like Handbrake are unwieldy to use, especially if you just want to convert in bulk.

    The project is still very early, but I'd like some feedback:

    1. Does anyone think this project is worth finishing, or are there too many GUI file converters out there already?

    2. What do you think about the UI so far?

    Cheers.

    Biggest WTF news I've read today. I'm not a web dev so this doesn't affect me, but this is bizarre.

    We get a closer first look at what's around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it

    This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s
