@tarkov I will think it’s hard, very atmospheric and unforgiving… as soon as I unlock it 😜

@DJSnM @MCCCANM I would love to see a video explaining all this. Very interested in why wings are ‘stalled’ and only rudder can work and ‘how?’.

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@DJSnM @WarMonitor3 Yes. To have a good chances of actual success you need to find someone who has at least some familiarity with plane controls through a computer flight simulator.

@Onepeg Congratulations!

@stankRat_ By your terms, 5 days early access in FH6 is pay to win…

@Dexerto That song is a banger! He deserved way more points than 1, song/energy/creativity/performance! Very disappointed in public and jury…

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@AnthropicDualiT But I also played Tarkov where wipe is part of the process 😅

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@AnthropicDualiT Agree with you 100%. Wipe is fair and at the same time not fair to everyone in the same way. Exploiters will now be on a clean slate, same as average Joe, learning again how to survive instead of living of duped billions

Here's my conversation all about @FFmpeg, the legendary open-source software powering most video on the Internet. In the episode, I talk with Jean-Baptiste Kempf and Kieran Kunhya. JB is lead developer of VLC and Kieran is FFmpeg contributor, codec engineer, and the person behind the now-infamous @FFmpeg account on X.

VLC (@videolan), by the way, is also a legendary piece of open-source software: it's a video player that can open basically anything & has been downloaded over 6 billion times.

I think both FFmpeg and VLC are two of the most important and impactful software systems ever created, both open source, and both created & maintained by volunteers: brilliant engineers from all walks of life.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to FFmpeg and VLC, and in general to all engineers giving their heart & soul to building systems used by millions (or billions) of people, and often doing so not for money, status, or fame, but purely for the love of building great software and doing good for the world.

Thank you to the builders! 🙏❤️

Shoutouts in this chat to @ID_AA_Carmack @karpathy @elonmusk @TimSweeneyEpic and everyone who is a contributor & fan of open source!

It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

@levelsio @edibudimilic @cursor_ai @boltdotnew @heyglif @tripoai @s13k_ Also interested in this. I think the last ‘optimisation’ refactoring broke tilt control on iPhones in my maze game 😅

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@levelsio @cursor_ai @boltdotnew @heyglif @tripoai @s13k_ Good luck to all participants! My entry #MazeRift is as polished as it could be after 20M tokens spent with @boltdotnew 😉

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@levelsio What sensor and app is that? I just recently installed on my home server Home Assistant and looking for a sensor that can integrate with.

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@levelsio Adding Vibeverse portals was one of the first things I implemented after finishing the core mechanics! 😉 #MazeRift

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@levelsio @cursor_ai @boltdotnew @heyglif @tripoai Just posted an update of my #MazeRift game entry to #VibeJam!
How can I update the screenshot on the site? Google module doesn't allow me to change it.
New screenshot with procedural textures and animated portals:

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

100 levels. 5 worlds. 1 goal: Reach the rift.
Smashed the final bugs just in time for the deadline. Ready for you to play the final version here: https://t.co/MnLg55VHt7
See you at the finish line! 🚀

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

Final hours of the #vibejam and #MazeRift is officially polished to a mirror finish! In the last update, I’ve smashed the bugs and overhauled all 5 biomes with new procedural textures, tactile layered audio, and a perfected difficulty curve. @levelsio @cursor_ai @boltdotnew

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

@levelsio @cursor_ai @boltdotnew @heyglif @tripoai Posted the announcement and the first update to my entry in #vibejam here

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

My entry MazeRift is officially listed for the #vibejam! 🧑‍🚀
It’s a physics-roller with unlockable perks and escalating biomes.
9 days left to refine 100 levels, from mossy forests to cosmic voids. Let’s get it. 🛠️🦾
@cursor_ai @boltdotnew #vibecoding #indiedev

[Shebuka @Shebuka]

Currently fine-tuning the sound effects and polishing the visual style.
See you at the finish line! 🏆
