AI-based tools for developers can be really helpful. At least sometimes.

They still heavily hallucinate, though, to a point where they completely make up APIs and documentation pages that never existed 😂

@qgi I like it, too! The rounded E on the compass and the numbers on your items seem a bit off. Maybe experiment with a different font. But keep it up, really good 👏

#vegan #gamedevs where you at????? show yourselves! I need you in my timeline.

@opponent019 I understand your frustration. I really do, so let me apologize for sending my original post. Thank you for trying to stay respectful despite my nonchalant misstep.

I hope you find your fellow #vegan #gamedevs and don't let my mere presence bother you anymore.

@opponent019 hah 😜 In all seriousness, I'm sorry that I bothered you with my puny pitty attempt at social interaction. I found your original post charming, and thought I would lift you up by commenting. I can now see that this was not the case, as my intentions and your's didn't align.

I'm not opposed to discussing veganism (I like that you seem way more educated on the topic than I am), but such conversations make more sense over tea and table rather than via social networks - so let's defer 🎩

@opponent019 I probably won't do that, but I'll likely let mastodon know if I ever go full vegan.

There are indeed many great alternatives to animal products, and it's not hard at all to avoid meat or dairy these days.

I want to add to the topic that the underlying problem that kills our planet is not the reliance on animal products per se, but the consumer mentality and subsequent exploitation in all life areas. To bring change, people have to stop taking the easy route and make sacrifices.

@opponent019 thanks for your empathy and understanding. I hope that more people will actively fight for the future of our planet like you do, so that all people who will come after us will still have one.

@opponent019 I'm now hurt and will reconsider my life choices. Meanwhile, I'll go buy some indie games.

@opponent019 I hear you, and I appreciate your openness. I approach life in general with awareness for my footprint on our planet and effect on others and act responsibly according to my standards.

Keep fighting for what you find right and don't let different opinions discourage you 🙏

@opponent019 I'm actually against any kind of abuse 👍 all (vegan) power to you and freedom for everything and everyone ☮️

@opponent019 i am gamedev and have vegan friends. Does that count too?

@KanataEXE this is great 👍😃 I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks a lot!

For anyone who wants to learn game development and still starting, this is a good challenge to start.
