This is awesome! Wish I could run something like this on my car's tablet, then we could go full circle.

Not a game necessarily, but I decided two days ago to make my own mod launcher for Doom (specifically, GZDoom). I got fed up with the ones that currently exist that lack features I want (not to mention being really old).
UI and theming are definitely not finished, but I'm really happy with how it's shaping up. Made in Godot, as is usual for me.
Really great shader. Reminds me a lot of Balatro's background.
Edit: Oh, i see now why everything seemed so sketchy, they have been promoting this since 2022 as a platform for metaverses, webchain and all that web3 bullshit
That might've been the investor pitch but luckily it doesn't seem like any of that has made it into what exists now. Seems like they're just going to take a percentage of profit from games on their platform.

It seems like they have a platform/launcher with user-created content in it. They get 10% marketplace fee but since it's fully open source you can probably publish your game outside of their platform.
Just my personal hot take haha, had nothing but bad experiences with Python.
This is really cool. It seems to be getting hugged to death though, I'm getting a lot of server errors when I attempt to open most apps.
It saddens me deeply that consumers (gamers) just don’t give a flying fuck about this and continues to pay a premium for Nvidia cards.
It doesn't help that AMD isn't competing that much price-wise. Their only saving grace is higher VRAM, and while that is nice, raw performance is becoming less relevant. FSR also does not compete with DLSS, it's strictly worse in every way. They also barely exist in the laptop market, I was just considering buying a new gaming laptop and my options are an RTX 4060 or paying more for the one laptop with a weaker AMD GPU.
I would argue Intel is shaping up to be the real competitor to Nvidia. They had a rough start but their GPUs are very price-competitive. Their newer integrated GPUs are also the best currently, they're good for gen AI, their raytracing performance trumps AMD, and XeSS is a lot better than FSR. If I were in the market for a new GPU I'd probably grab the Intel A770. I'm looking forward to their next generation of cards.
That just because I'm a programmer that must mean I'm a master of anything technology related and can totally help out with their niche problems.
"Hey computer guy, how do I search for new channels on my receiver?"
"Hey computer guy, my excel spreadsheet is acting weird"
"My mobile data isn't working. Fix this."
My friend was a programmer and served in the army, people ordered him to go fix a sattelite. He said he has no idea how but they made him try anyways. It didn't work and everyone was disappointed.
Thanks again for managing such a great instance. The effort put into everything really shows.
~~The iceshrimp instance looks neat too~~
A mod launcher is a program that lets you set up and configure mods for a game, then launch the game with everything set up for you. They exist because configuring everything yourself can be a real pain.
