Indie game developer (like that movie) running Upfall Studios. Maker of Quest of Dungeons, Vizati and other weird games.

Speaking of #godot, XBOX has published a Godot Sample to help building games for Microsoft GDK and XBOX Services, while not for Series X|S specifically this is a pretty good step forward.

@miguelgamendes the good part is that when you hit that we can just hook up some C++ :)

[David Amador 🐙 @DJ_Link]

When someone asks me why I went with GDScript instead of C++ or C# in Godot (which I'm far more used to).

I was able to migrate my own framework from SDL2 to SDL3 fairly easy, just took some time and reading this document, which I highly recommend, perhaps even before starting the process to get a better idea, it will help a ton.

SDL2 is now deprecated in favor of SDL3, only critical fixes moving forward.

A bit upset and sad that Amazon killed the new Stargate show before it even had a chance, I hope this doesn’t mean several more years with nothing at all. It’s a shame this IP is just abandoned for the most part.

[David Amador 🐙 @DJ_Link]

I feel like the weeks around GTA6 will be very open for anyone not worrying about that.
Sure on the same day it's probably bad, but a few days before or after is probably fine. Unless there's data from previous GTA game releases proving opposite. https://t.co/BWHo6vNhkj

Stargate fans can't get a break 🥲

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

i'm having fun playing Mina the Hollower, amazing art too, but it's a difficult game; it does have a ton of accessibility options for difficulty, but for some reason i'm still being stubborn about activating any of them so far, but the choice is there which I appreciate.

I don't understand why developers have to change the apps for new age verification, that should be up to the store when selling the product to do on purchase, why are they even getting their % of money anyway?

[David Amador 🐙 @DJ_Link]

@marcospereeira Check Tarrafal area, Maio island is pretty cool too, I went fishing with some locals.

Nintendo has been very effective in directing their community to other formats, Nintendo Direct now a pillar of their marketing was once perceived as “giving up on E3/doomed”; now Nintendo Today app they are probably addressing “Twitter whole thing” with another direct channel.

I have to say I'm split between
> It's cool Godot allows us to do whatever in the UI
and
> I wonder if Godot should just take care of this and resize plugin icons automatically?

People always ask "whats the Citizen Kane of video games" but I got a better question: What's the Dark Souls of movies?

Fun fact. Apple did this to me in 2019 over a messages 0-click bug. So I did some magic and got myself added to their daily bug bounty standup call, which was just a FaceTime group call. I submitted another vuln with a screenshot of their call and got a threatening letter.

@MikeStillAwake true, although it's much less than 8GB on PS4 due to operative system always running. https://t.co/Lg83rXWz1Q

Steam Deck price bump is brutal, a hit to keep Linux gaming momentum growing. But it’s a general issue, if something doesnt drastically change, a big % of players will be priced out of hardware. Smartphones will likely be ok given their other uses, but that market is a nightmare.

[David Amador 🐙 @DJ_Link]

@Sosowski I think it should be illegal to buy a game on a store (which has an account) and be forced to create another account for a different store to use the software.

[David Amador 🐙 @DJ_Link]

good. the whole thing with Krafton CEO trying to dodge paying the promised bonus to the dev team was such a scamy thing. I hope this goes to the hard-working team who made the game a reality and a success. https://t.co/8y39s9T2Tv
