From the Washington post:
LONDON—U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss said she would resign, after a risky plan to cut taxes and boost spending caused turmoil on financial markets, prompting her to backtrack and causing her political authority to disintegrate.

Ms. Truss is set to become the shortest-serving prime minister in British history and the third Conservative Party leader pushed out of office in as many years. She said a leadership election would be held within the next week to find her replacement.

“I recognize that given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party,” she said standing outside Downing Street on Thursday.

The resignation comes months after rebel lawmakers forced out Boris Johnson as prime minister following a series of scandals.

Ms. Truss’s successor will have to navigate a political crisis and economic turbulence, with Britain dealing with stagflation—the combination of slow growth and high inflation. The new leader is almost sure to face a long winter of discontent, with real wages forecast to fall, labor unions promising a series of strikes and many voters demanding elections.

Leadership election? Jeez... Just what does it take that retarded country to hold a general election? At this rate, you could have a mule for prime Minister. :rolleyes:
Edit: better yet: a lettuce. They survive longer.

I love seeing the UK tearing itself apart lmao. It’s going to be funny if they put labor in there too. I wanna see just how much worse they are than the tories. I love seeing economic collapse at the European establishment’s expense

But alas, it’ll probably just be middle of the road bojo again

The sad thing is that it's all on a political level. The suits in government are fucking around giving each other and their mates as much cash as they can squeeze out while normal people are just trying to live regular lives.

We just want a stable government and regular energy bills again :rofl2:

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
