@Aspernator I'd pay for a polished plugin that replaces the built-in UI editor features

@playSwitchbored @Kevbllx @axistros You should center your snapping relative to the center of wall segments. Window placement like on the second wall segment in the video would really annoy me.

@BitwiseAndrea @Wishtap_ I really wish you could load these assets into an EditableImage! I wanted to make a plugin that would allow you to slightly alter the base materials or apply them to mesh so that UVs could appear more natural than when a material is applied.

@noMarsHere De Morgan is rolling in his grave!

Please tell me you'll use if-then-else expressions and don't always rely on short-circuit evaluation

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@Bond_Dev_ Yep! I still use them

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

Is there a community for plugin developers?

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@UnrealEngine Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

Finally! DAU taking off

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

What kind of game or plugin do you think I'm making with this?

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@MrChickenRocket Is the polygon editor something you made, or will I be reading about this in a DevForum announcement soon?

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

Trying Procedural Models for the first time. How'd I do?

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@miniapeur Might as well call me an alt-blue three-brownian

@juliaroseal I wasn't a fan of the term "experiences" when it was first introduced, but it grew on me quickly - "Games" just doesn't capture the extent of what you can create on Roblox. Honestly, I hope they don't revert the lingo.

This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet.

Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world.

After the world leader convos I get attacked intensely by all sides, and many disparate online communities. It has led to some really low points for me mentally. But I don't matter. I'm listening. I'll do better. And I'll try to find the strength to do more of them, always with rigor and backbone, seeking to truly understand. And despite accusations, I do extremely high amounts of research, sometimes 100+ hours for a conversation. Ask many of my previous guests. But when I come to the table, I put all that aside, and make it all about the other person. I don't ever try to sound smart. I know the vastness of my ignorance. But I'm trying. Sometimes I do fuck up and sound like a douche, or do something incredibly cringe. And I hate myself right after. But I'd rather fail and embarrass myself a million times, than not do what my heart says is right.

And besides world leaders, historians, CEOs, engineers, etc, this year I want to travel the world and talk to a lot more everyday people on and off the mic. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

Anyway this is written while on I'm on a 10 mile run, probably procrastinating, since to type I have to walk and not run 🤣

But I did just get stopped by a super smart and kind girl who works at a humanoid robotics company here. And she asked if she can give me a hug to thank me for being me. Sometimes the universe sends you a message that even a dumb dude like me can almost hear. I really needed that today. Thank you for the hug and the kindness 🙏 I'm just hoping she was real and I didn't just imagine that 🤣 Then again if I went full crazy might as well enjoy it!

Back to the run. I love you all! ❤️

@asimo3089 @Roblox I actually don't mind experiences. In my opinion, it better describes the broad range of what you can create on Roblox - which is more than traditional "video games"

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@benprototype Everytime I see an update on this project it reminds me about the ant farm I really wanted as a kid (well, maybe with less explosions).

What sort of chunk size (is it square grid or columns) are you dealing with in terms of tris and/or studs size?

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@benprototype Looks great! You're using 3 EditableMesh per chunk? Isn't the client EditableMesh limit 8?

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

@ProtonInspector 3 Roombas stacked on top of each other.

[East98 @cryptidsoftware]

The mouse I use has extra buttons for changing DPI -
I've never found a practical use for this feature and any time I accidentally change it I just hit random buttons until it goes back to what I'm used to.
