Has anyone ever used Unity with Android?
I'm trying to figure out how you run a game on an Android device and get back Console messages while doing so.
If I do "Build and Run" and then in Console I try to change from "Editor" to AndroidPlayer(ADB...) it just... doesn't work, and if I manually run adb.exe I don't see the console messages I expect to see.
Do I have to make a Development Build? Do I need some kind of plugin to enable logcat? How does this work?
OK this sorta fixed it but I'm now having a problem where the device goes to sleep within 30 seconds and breaks things when it does, but the Unity "Build and Run" takes well over a minute to run * _ *
Why is it every time I do an Android Build and Run Unity stops to recompile "shaders", even when no shaders or anything related to shaders changed?

Whoaaaaaaaaaa
This doesn't solve the whole problem with Apple's behavior () but wow it sure does chip away one of the most obviously absurd parts

I wonder if this will be allowed to stand or if the government will get bored and wander away like they did with Netscape/MS
Geez I'm like... it's been so long since I've read a piece of news and it was good news that I've completely forgotten how to create emotions in response to reading good news

*Scratching head*
Okay so
Unity has this helpful set of "FileUtil" classes for working with files.
But...
They're in the "UnityEditor" assembly?
Does this mean these methods are only available in code that runs in the editor?!
docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReferenc…
So it turns out that if you're using Unity on Android, & you wish to access the contents of a unity Asset, literally the only way to do it is to make a WebRequest to a file: URL.
This is claimed by both the docs
docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Streami…
And by Unity Answers
answers.unity.com/answers/166392…
This raises a question:
How do you get a list of your streaming assets, or a list of the contents of a streaming asset directory, on Android?
The answer is simple:
*You can't*.
*You literally can't do it*. There is no way.
You have to get an external zip file parser library! D:

@AxiomVerge This might take a couple tweets to reply to.

Here is a screencap from my GDC soapbox talk this year:
@AxiomVerge A blockchain is technically just a data structure. "Git" is a blockchain.

When used in this context (fintech), "blockchain" is usually used as a misnomer for append-only ledgers. The blockchain data structure is one type of append-only ledger.

Because at some point…
@AxiomVerge "blockchain" got some sort of reputation of being vaguely magical, people looking for investment funding find any excuse to add "blockchains". Not just ledger systems but potentially any distributed system, or even any kind of database, are at risk of being called blockchains.

Just took the TTC for about the third time in a year and had an awkward conversation on the TTC brought in by my extremely visible transgenderness for the first time in a year
He didn't ask me about Little Ceasar's pizza, but that isn't surprising because they don't have Little Ceasar's in Canada. They do have something called "Pizza Pizza" and it's about a hundred times worse. Seriously tastes like they're using ketchup for tomato sauce
Update: Okay so I guess they have little caesars in Canada

I got the #AxiomVerge2 trophy for beating the game with the minimum number of deaths, and as a result got the trophy for getting all the trophies. And I didn't even savescum!
Mind you, I was fully PREPARED to savescum, if I happened to die two hours in. But I didn't.

My speedrun PB currently stands at 1:13:42.
I am enjoying this game

Oh hey I forgot to mention today id Bandcamp Friday again so here's my thread of really good music on Bandcamp
I found a hip hop track today that samples Black MIDI (the band) and I thought it was very good, definitely one for my "songs that sound like the song itself is drunk" playlist injuryreserve.bandcamp.com/track/knees
My "songs that sound as if they are drunk" playlist also contains "Metal Heart" by Cat Power, "Brother" by Beck and "Real Live Dress" by Smog
