Thank you, no worries, all good. She did brought meat into my house without thinking much about it despite me having asked them to please don't do that, their logic was that I wasn't going to be in the room with them; but she also goes way out of her way to buy me a lot of vegan food before I even land when I go visit, she makes sure there's always appropriate food available for me, she willingly goes to vegan restaurants to make me happy even tho a couple we have gone to in the past have been terrible, and does/has done many many other things for me. She is not perfect but she tries, I owe to that woman everything that I have and am today, and I'm personally tired on how quick the internet is to tell strangers to cut off their family members without knowing anything about them but one paragraph.

@krathalan@lemmy.blahaj.zone thank you for the video, I think this will help and is very much like what I'm looking for!

But the rest of your comment is uncalled for tbh. I think it's wild to tell a stranger to cut their mom off because she drinks milk in her house when visiting once every many years. I appreciate that you want to help but I wasn't inviting advice on how to deal with my mother, nobody here has any clue on the dynamics of our relationship and what she has done for me, this thread is about videos.

@streetfestival@lemmy.ca back then I used to get this milk from Silk that's the plant milk most similar to dairy milk I've ever tried, I told her about it. Before even trying it she insisted on getting her milk when we were at the super market. She tried it but prefers her milk. She tries food, she goes in already thinking she won't like it a lot of the times so it's not great but she does try them and then says she prefers the animal version. I need a different approach, which is why I'll try this.

My go-to video is Dairy is Scary, 5 mins long

Just the title but here's what prompted me to ask:

My mom is coming to visit and even tho I've made it clear I don't like non-vegan products in my house she pushes for me to let her have at least milk for her coffee. Last time she came with my brother they got something with meat delivered because I was in bed puking my guts out. When talking soon after me going vegan she said her pregnancy state felt super good so surely the cows aren't suffering that much... etc...

So I've thought of a great way to fight that back non-confrontationally and helping her understand: in order to bring a product in she has to watch a video with me. I'm hoping to watch a whole documentary during her visit but I think shorter videos would be more feasible.

Speaking of, I have never watched a whole documentary or in a very long time, didn't need them, if you had to choose one which would you choose?

Then I don't know about being an asshole or not, but I think your gf has a point, wouldn't you agree?

I think volunteering is a great idea because it'll help you meet new interestng people while you "work" a job that matters and helps a cause you believe in. Keeps your brain active, you build community, you get something new to talk about with your gf... so many benefits :)

That's just body excercise, what about your mind?

[–] veggay@kbin.earth 2 points 4 weeks ago

Just make stuff, doesn't matter how shitty, just make something.

Look for basic tutorials that explain to you what you're doing and why, not the ones where they just have you repeat a bunch of steps like it's a list without any explanation. Also choose projects that you have at least some interest in, not just for learning, it'll help with motivation when things get hard.

As for which engine it depends on your goals... If you want to be an indie dev then I'd recommend to go with Godot and GDScript. It has the option to use C# but it's not made for it and you'll find many more resources if you use GDscript, plus it's easy to learn, especially if the coding mentality already clicked for you.

Avoid Unity.

If you want to focus more on design or levels or non-programming stuff to eventually work at a studio and be part of a bigger team then I'd recommend Unreal and using Blueprints. Unreal also has an amazing catalogue of free resources to learn.
