I'm doing the GBA Jam 2024, so it's for the Gameboy Advance. There is a manager library called Butano that's made the process easier, which could be an engine in a really loose definition.

Besides Butano, I'm just writing all the other things that engines like Unity/Unreal usually manage as part of the project. A 2D top down adventure game is a good first intro because there's not a lot that you need a dedicated engine for, and it's actually been a breeze compared to trying to make something in the Unity editor.

Sorry for no screenshots, just wanted to share progress.

I entered my first game jam a couple days ago, engineless, and I'm making progress! I only have demo scenes currently, but actors (including a player), map rendering, scene states and contexts, etc are all working so far! Next up is collision!

I'm making an adventure game almost entirely inspired by a popular Nintendo franchise. Specifically ALttP.

I feel bad for ripping off a game idea, but there's not enough games that scratch that itch for me!

It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I've considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That's like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I'm in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There's Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn't be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.

Those are for their VPN and other services, not Mozilla Firefox or their contribution to web standards. The foundation is separate from their for-profit tools.

People kept pinching my butt and bra.

I was dressed as Tina from Bob's Burgers as part of a group costume. I was groped multiple times. Very disturbing.

The only consequence so far is a nearly 4k drop on FP subscribers. Roughly $20k/m loss.

That's not saying much because they still have 40k subscribers.

How many people do you think majored in gender studies? The biggest field by far is STEM. Engineers, scientists, mathematicians/physicists, and IT still find it hard to find a job and are facing unprecedented layoffs.

I was about to ask why they put Leftists on there 8 times, but maybe it's just us!

I have a 5.1 as well, and I use software normalization (Plex and through my Shield) to fix it. I know there's a way to tune it via hardware, but my setup is an ancient Yamaha receiver and I prefer the software normalization.

Mixing can be a mixed bag, as everyone uses different hardware to master their sound, but normalization or boosting center fixes it 99% of the time.

It's because they're mixing dialogue for the center channel speaker. Most people don't have a center channel on their TV or sound bar, but some "Dialogue Mode"s will exclusively play the center channel and drown out the sound effects. It's a trade off, but one that most manufacturers don't even give the option for.
