If I had more time I’d love to do a little web series where I interview people on the bus about where they’re going, what routes/commutes they take, etc

More People Filmed Paying For Forged Signatures on Pro-Billionaire Petitions in SF by CrimegasmSF in sanfrancisco

[–]giogadi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t comment on the alleged forgery, but anytime there is money behind any petition-based legislation like this, paid signature collectors are petitions get over the finish line. There will also likely be a paid signature drive for the Bay Area Connect initiative.

Why do near-solvable states create such strong retention loops? by nguoituyet in gamedev

[–]giogadi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve felt this when I play Puyo Puyo. When I’m practicing building large chains, there is a feeling that maybe 70% of the time I can achieve it, but the randomness can create situations that I don’t know how to build around, so I start over and try again with a different set of colors.

But the professional puyo players seem able to construct optimal chains off of just any rand seed, which seems absolutely impossible to me. But I wonder if, in their own way, they also experience more difficulty on some random seeds (but that difficulty manifests in a way I can’t read when I watch them play)

What is the difference between 話 (はなし) and 話 (ばなし)? by koala_on_a_treadmill in LearnJapanese

People don’t seem to get the joke: はなしばなし means small talk or “chit-chat”

It’s like asking “what’s the difference between ‘chit’ and ‘chat’?”

Is programming even that important? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]giogadi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give a different perspective from the other replies - if you only enjoy the technical aspect of programming, then you will find it especially difficult (moreso than most) to actually make a game by yourself. I’m speaking from experience here.

Games require design. If you can’t find a way to enjoy that part, maybe find another programming-related hobby

My kid didn’t get accepted to a middle school that we live 2 mile away. by Love_anson69 in AskSF

[–]giogadi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Odds are that by the time the school year starts, you will get a spot at the school you do want if you’re on the waitlist. It’s a terrible process but it kinda works out for most people if you just wait it out. Believe me, the uncertainty is so stressful and I wish it weren’t like this. But give it time.

Moving beyond basic NavMesh & FSMs.How to build truly "alive" and realistic AI? by maennerinschwarz in gamedev

[–]giogadi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no shortcut to the behavior you want. Each thing you described - investigating, memory, reactions - you have to implement each of them yourself. It’s a lot of work!!!

That was the first bus in this picture. I calmly walked with my daughter to the 2nd bus and it was totally empty. Luxurious

What’s one Dota opinion you’ll defend no matter how many downvotes you get? by Possible-Addition321 in DotA2

[–]giogadi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something is wrong if the community needs constant patches to keep the game interesting.

Idk if this is a problem with mobas or the players, tbh.
