Should i be worried?
Me and a few of my friends have formed a small game dev studio. I'm the most experienced with programming out of all of us, but I'm far from being an expert.
I was tasked with deciding on a game engine, but I get analysis paralysis very easily, so I might be looking to close into the details of each game engine. The main things I'm looking for in each engine are:
2D Support, we will mainly be making nes/snes style games so the game engine need to support 2d games.
Collaboration, how easy is it to send builds of the game between multiple people for editing?
Beginner-Friendly, how easily can someone with no experience with the game engine learn the basics?
The 3 candidates for game engines are Unity, Godot, and Game Maker.
I've had the most experience with Unity, but I haven't used it in a while so I've forgotten a lot of what I knew. Game Maker is the most recent one I've used and I learned it pretty quickly. I've tried to learn Godot a few times but I've always gotten confused with the node system.
The main things I want to point out with each game engine are as follows:
Unity: I feel the most at home with Unity because I've used it the longest, and I feel like it's relatively easy to learn for beginners with it's large library of tutorials, and it's component structure is relatively easy to wrap your head around. The main problem I have with it is it's commercial usage policy, you can't make more than $100,000 each year from games you release using it, otherwise you need to upgrade to their Plus or Pro subscription.
Game Maker: I've used Game Maker for a while and have gotten used to it's structure and language, and I also feel it's very beginner-friendly and has a wide variety of tutorials to follow. The biggest problem I have with it is that big projects can get very messy. Their workspaces can become hard to navigate at times and collaboration is difficult. While I don't know YoYo Games' exact stance on commercial use, the fact that they have subscription services makes me think they're in the same boat as Unity.
Godot: Out of theses 3 engines I've use Godot the least, but I've heard that it's good for collaboration, has a very helpful community, and doesn't have a subscription you have to pay if you use it for commercial purposes. One problem I have with it are that it doesn't have as many tutorials as Unity or Game Maker, but that's a very small problem I can get around. A big problem is that I find it's node
... keep reading on reddit ➡Anyone know any good business for small engine repair? I think the carburetor is bad on my snow thrower. Would really prefer to get it fixed rather than having to shovel.
...it makes you an engineear.
I went to a small engine repair shop today to pick up a couple parts for a project and a nice customer brought in his lightly used Stihl BG55 blower that was stalling out at higher revs. The customer said he tried to adjust the carb, but admitted he may have done more harm than good. The repair guy told him he needed a new carb which would be X$, (2x the price on amazon), and that it was going to be X$/hr (~$100+ total). The customer obviously didn't like the price. Then the repair guy convinced the customer to buy a new $150 blower, since it's ONLY $50 more . All of this was without even touching or testing out the blower that the customer brought in.
I asked the customer a couple questions about what he tried, thinking I might be able to help save him a bucks. But unfortunately the customer was dead set on buying the new one, though he did give me the old one as a thanks for trying to help. The repair guy gave dirty looks until I left the store.
The blower started right up, needing nothing more than a 5 minute carb adjustment and to be run long enough to heat up and burn out some of the old crap in it.
PSA
If you take your mower, trimmer, blower, etc to the repair shop to see about having them repair your equipment and they prescribe a repair or worse try to sell you new equipment without actually looking at or testing what you brought in. You might want to take your equipment to a more honest shop.
Apologies if this is too basic or too obvious a question, I have very low engineering knowledge and wasn't able to find the answer online. Cheers guys :)

Hi,
I was thinking of using Prolog in an App and interacting with it more like a database (add/edit/remove predicates, and query). Is there a distribution that is
a) opensource for commercial use
b) provides API that can be queried ether as a standalone process or within process (or over the network even?)
Posting this again because I don't know if anyone saw my first one. Sorry, I'm just worried about the vehicle and can't afford much so if someone here finds a solution that might be easy (who knows?) It will help a ton. My 4WD 1995 4runner that I bought about a year ago has been having a certain problem that is getting worse. When I first got it I would sometimes use it in 4wd and it worked great. After a few more times of going offroading in 4wd (only using it when needed for less than one minute usually) it would cause my motor to shut off and I would see the dashboard say AT/TEMP which I know means Auto Trans is hot but anyways, I would just put the truck back in park and back in 2wd and crank it up and it would ride just fine. But since the last month or so it has been shutting off while idling at stop signs sometimes (in 2wd) and I see that same AT TEMP symbol (of course) when that happens and I just have to crank it while pushing the gas pedal a little and it runs fine afterward with no AT TEMP light on while driving cause the only symbol that is always on is the Check Engine light one. The oil and trans fluid have been kept at nice levels and the temperature gauge on the dash only goes up to the middle and has never been beyond the middle of the gauge even when I am really having trouble with the problem mentioned above. My stepdad says that since I have run out of gas on the highway before twice (not very accurate gas gauge) that the gunk/particles in the gas tank may have clogged some things up, but I don't know. I'm trying to be as detailed as possible for whoever is reading this so you can know exactly what I'm talking about cause I don't know cars that well but I do know everything my vehicle has been doing when it fckx up. Also: when using 4wd I can feel put my finger down below the shifter for 4wd and touch the metal under the plastic handle/knob and it feels warm to the touch. And my middle console box feels pretty dang warm to touch too. But my truck has never overheated to where it starts smoking and radiator gets super hot or anything like that. And two more last things: The fuse box that has all the colored fuses for the dash light, windshield wipers, etc will always blow the windshield wiper fuse after about one week. The turn signal fuse will blow about once a month I guess. I have a box full of them so i just replace the fuses cause not sure where the electric wire problem is located and I have a bad back so I can't spend much time be
... keep reading on reddit ➡I dropped a 1/2" x 5/8" piece of hard plastic into the oil fill opening of a 2016 Subaru Forester. Most of what I'm finding on google suggests it should be fine to just leave it, but I couldn't find anything specific to Subarus/boxer engines (if that even matters). I tried to flush it out but no luck. Is it safe to just leave it indefinitely? Or is it important to get it out before driving?
Details: This was during an oil change; I had drained the oil and replaced the filter and drain plug, and couldn't get the filler cap off to put the new oil in (yes, I overtightened it last time). I used a pliers (no, not the right tool) and accidentally squeezed through through the cap, and the piece had to have gone into the engine. It's possible it's multiple pieces, it was facing away from me so I didn't see it, but the hole left in the cap is 1/2"x5/8". I shined a light down the hole but couldn't see very far. I poured in ~1.5 liters of clean oil, drained it, and nothing came out. I did that again, same result. I thought about taking the oil pan off, but I don't even know that the piece(s) would be there or accessible.
I assume there's a filter on the pump intake and it'll just sit there forever and be fine, right? But there might be smaller pieces... but anything they might run into would be metal and just grind them up, right? Or is there potential for damage? Would there likely be symptoms before serious damage occurs?
I see they have this 1gb free up to 5 members on the site, but 1gb doesn't really seem like very much space. Even my base folder (albeit with compiled parts in the folder) is over 600mb by default with some starter content.
So my question is, how long on average is it going to take when you start loading these 2k/4k textures from Quixel and what not into the project, to fill up the space? Anyone with experience on some kind of timeline?
If we start working on this project, we may end up just building a P4D Server specifically for this task perhaps, but there are a tonne of settings that I am unfamiliar with to reduce sizes.
From searches and research there are a few things that can be done, but I was hoping that someone with some kind of experience in reducing the P4D storage amount could give some insights on to what kind of settings should be used for their Helix Core server to get the most out of these free services.
As there is no questions megathread I hope this noob question is allowed here.
Is it or should it be normal, that the engine stalls/cuts out every time I get the car to a full standstill? Even without spinout or any issues. When I slow down and basically set the car at the side while practising solo?
Imo shouldn't the engine still run when I don't manually turn it off in that case? I mean it is good training to learn getting it running fast again.
While I am already at it, is there enforced rules etc about stuff like engine startup for multiplayer/do most/all simracers use manual engine starting (I already read it can make pit times some seconds faster with experience)? Or di many people generally just go automatic? My issue is, the G920 does not have enough buttons to assign everything that would be possible and I rather have stuff like wipers, lights(and flash) on manual than the engine start. I did not find any tips on which functions are best manual and which are best automatic.
Damn sorry for the long post now, hope anyone even reads half of it xD
I’ve been working on a game engine that I named Euphorbe for about 2 weeks. My main goal is to have a renderer that’s entirely focused on the VK_KHR_dynamic _rendering Vulkan extenson that was released very recently. It’s still in very early stage, the example app only contains a simple clear color
