No real issue with comments, but my posts only show up on this server, and not on the remote one. This is so bad that I was thinking on getting a Lemmy account for posting there.

kbin sounds a lot like kabin, or かびん／花瓶, which means vase in Japanese.

Added code of conduct, branding guidelines, also fixed issues with off-screen popups.

If you're a #gamedev working with #pixelart artstyle, and looking for an engine to use, maybe after all the #unity debacle? Then I can suggest my own.

• Written in D (quite similar to C#, save for the underlying framework).
• Pixel-perfect graphics, no "pixel misalignment" due to mismatched assets. - Retro-inspired GUI.
• Unicode text rendering from real bitmap fonts.
• Built-in palette-swap effects, real-time color lookup.
• Relatively low overhead and footprint (3-5MB executable files).
• Software synthesizers for audio, one even has some feline-looking sine wave.
• No per-install monetization BS, instead you can support me via either Patreon (https://patreon.com/ShapeshiftingLizard) or Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/shapeshiftinglizard)
• Fully #opensource, you can both check what's under the hood, or even completely modify the code for your own liking.

After a software update, VS2022 stopped working correctly. When I hit a break point, I don't get any local variables and their values, instead I get a "wait..." label that looks like a button, and also VS is growing in memory size until it crashes my Windows, or I either stop the debugging or VS itself.

So far I get the best results by using x64dbg, but it has it's own issues, namely that almost all guides only discuss its reverse engineering capabilities, and I need a development tool, so I don't have to rely on printing to the console as debugging, which has a lot of issues (leaving in the print commands, etc). I'm programming in D, but it should work with any other debugger made for C, and up until recently I used VS for that purpose.

I use a bit weird development setup. Since VisualD, the official plugin for VS adding D language support, does not have dub support (which D's official package manager, and without it a lot of things get very hard to do, like dependency management), I have to use VSCode as my main code editor, build my code in command line, then load it in an empty VS project set up for C++ development.

However, since the latest update, VS2022 broke completely. I previously had issues with the option to break on every D exceptions disappearing, now I don't even have that. When it hits a breakpoint or an exception, the debugger does not show the local variables, instead it has a "wait..." sign that looks like a button (but is unclickable), and the executable of VS grows until either crashes my Windows, or I stop either the debugging or VS. Probably would still work if I used it normally, but then I have to stop using dub as a build tool, and manage dependencies manually, which is a nightmare with bigger projects and dependencies having their own dependencies.

Currently I have some luck with x64dbg, but so far it's not the most ideal solution. Almost all tutorials for it is about reverse engineering software without any available source code, and I need it as a development tool instead. It seems to load my symbol file and show call stack, but not local variables or source code. D should be able to work with most debuggers developed for C.

I want to get into writing (primarily political), and while I've written some to those, I want to get as far away from centralized social media as I can.
