Blender DumbassI'm punishing myself for being tired by doing a pointless work ( which ended up being only partially pointless ) on my GTA clone Dani's Race.

PewDiePie is now using GNU / Linux
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/pewdiepie_gnu_linux.png)
Blender DumbassPewDiePie, once the king of YouTube, has now decided to stop shannigans and move to GNU / Linux operating system. And not simply to move to GNU / Linux, but stop using Photoshop and move to GNU Image Manipulation program, known as GIMP. Go back to using OBS. And even gave a rather okay-ish explanation of GNU / Linux and his reasons to move to it, to his 110 million followers, in a video he published titled: I installed Linux (so should you).

A Rant About Making a Multiplayer Game
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/multplayer_server.png)
Blender DumbassThe multiplayer, or the lack there of, at the moment is so utterly broken and so lacking of being properly made that for a long time, I was just not bothering with it. Seeing it as something unnecessary. Something that does not need to be touched, because other things, like the story or some gimmicky thing is more important for the game than the multiplayer. But people's demands for it didn't stop. So I thought now is a good time to actually properly design it.
Gamedev Makes You Better at Math
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/gamedev_math.png)
Blender DumbassWhen I started with Dani's Race I thought that the extend of my programming will be something like dynamically changing the speed of a car and maybe loading and unloading certain things on the map based on the distance from them. But quickly it became a mind-field of math and other programming cleverness. About which I will talk to you in this article
Libre Games and Making Money: Introducing Petitions
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/libre_games_money.png)
Blender DumbassMost Free / Libre Software projects are maintained either by strong communities, or through some kind of donation system. Libre Games struggle with both aspects. There are community driven games, but those lack vision and coherent style, because different people contribute differently, on different skill levels and with different stylistic choices. And no corporation is benefiting from existence of libre games, therefor no serious donations are ever expected to be coming their way.
With the petitions idea, which could also be described as some sort of "reverse crowd-funding", I want to try to give Libre Games a chance at sustainability. Which if successful could make Libre Software as a whole more appealing. And perhaps do some good in the world.
Story Without Cutscenes in Dani's Race
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/story_danisRace.png)
Blender DumbassThe challenge for Dani's Race is deliberately not to be a movie. As in the game should not have cuts, nor there ever should be a moment when the player loses control over the character. Yet through all those limitations I want to continue a story I started in an actual movie. Which is kind of complicated.
Making Breakable Cars in Video Games
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/how_to_broken_cars.png)
Blender DumbassWe all love some mayhem when it comes to playing games. And nothing makes car games more satisfying than damage models. RockStar Games understood it early on, and all GTA games have breakable cars. Today some of the most popular car games like BeamNG.drive holding on a realism of damage models almost solely. And therefor for me, making Dani's Race any other way, would have not been a good idea. I knew I had to make the cars in my game breakable.

The Incels of Computing: The Depressive Defense Mechanisms of Free Software
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/stallman_its_fine.png)
Blender DumbassWith all the progress that has been done with liberating the digital space there is a sense of self defeating, depression. A kind of defense mechanism of sorts. As if the people settled for something and gave up trying to do anything else. Which in itself causing lack of morale, lack of vision, and with it lack of actual movement.

So I Cleaned Up Some Spaghetti from Dani's Race Code
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/cleaned_some_spaghetti.png)
Blender DumbassA few days ago I had told you that I'm stopping with making the police station in my game Dani's Race because it had a Spaghetti Code Problem. The
main() function in the Main_Update.py file was 1683 lines of code long and contained way too many things in it. At the moment, the same function is down to 641 lines of code. This is still way too much stuff in the main() but this is a hell of a lot of reduction.

How The Fabelmans Traumatized Me
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/ba/Fabelmansposter.jpeg)
Blender DumbassI remember sitting at the entrance to a local cinema near me, shivering from a new kind of depression. I was waiting to enter the screening of Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in cinema just after The Fabelmans. The previous film I have seen in that very cinema, maybe already a week before that, was The Fabelmans and that dreadful feeling I had was caused by that movie. I was committing an act of masochism going back to cinema right after the trauma I experienced, and I was pretty sure Avatar 2 would only make it worse. I didn't care. I went anyway. Thank god that James Cameron decided to limit references to himself to a few nods to Titanic and stuff, and instead made a movie that is pretty much designed as a joyride. I don't know if I was alive today if Avatar 2 was anything like The Fabelmans.
