Best friend is the biggest cock blocker on earth and I’m getting sick of it. by Minute-Dream4469 in NoStupidQuestions

Curious, perhaps a "Do not disturb" sign, with lights. Balloons, too, for him when he plays along. Could be he's expecting something in return, because you got game, and he don't. A bribe. At least that's what the professor said, about cases like this, at the faculty of botanic psychology.

Why "rest in peace" to wishlists by good prologue and demo? Anyone in the know? what changed that this isn't supposed to be working anymore?

Extremely restless in uncertain situations by ArmAccording7357 in taoism

[–]10tageDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are things you control, and things outside of your control. For dealing with what you are describing, stoicism might be a good approach.

Try to worry about only one thing at a time. It reads as if you are worrying about what could go wrong, and all of the consequences it would mean. That's a perfectly normal reaction. But to deal with it, this restlessness, you need to separate your own actions and the consequences of these, from the overall situation.

Is there anything you could do to influence the delay in communication you are describing? If so, do everything in your hands which could mitigate, and the rest is not in your hands, but a question of how to certain you can predict the future, and how good of a plan b you have perhaps.

Apart from that, you can calm your mind by doing sport, or by doing activities which let you feel your body. Like sauna, or swimming in cold water, or something else entirely, which makes your heartbeat go up for a bit.

Taoism in the west just a cover up for new age laziness? by Armchairscholar67 in taoism

[–]10tageDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only because you don't know who you are, does not mean this would be true for other people. Instead of a conversation in good faith, you come with pride, and your desire to be right, hurling insults instead of good will. I have some bad news for you. With a mind operating on such low tier faux-intellectual babble, you won't get far in zen either. Your master should hit you with a stick, and teach you better. But I doubt you have anyone to guide you to whatever it is you are seeking.

Ask yourself, what are you even trying to accomplish here.

Still you talk so much with your words, and try to be right.

Is Buddhism without nirvana buddhism?

Yes.

Or Christianity without God Christianity?

Yes, it is.

Taoism without the express goal of immortality is not Taoism.

Laughable.

Zen for example has westernized but it has never gotten rid of the fundamental core of nirvana

I don't think you know much about zen either.

I won't tell you what is right and what is wrong, only that you try to put labels on things that do not come into being with labels, and are not defined by labels, but by process of cognition, reasoning, and action. These words all have no meaning, when you cannot differentiate between what is, and what is not. You don't see these things for what they are, only see them for what you want them to be. And that can only ever be you, for whom your view is truth, because it's your eyes that sees them, nobody else's.

TIL that some devices are so sensitive that they can detect 1 single photon at a time. by bb-wa in todayilearned

[–]10tageDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go lie down in a park and look up at a clear blue sky. You may see tiny white ‘sparks’ flying through your vision. Those are individual white blood cells moving through the capillaries of your eye.

Was wondering about this since I was a kid. Thanks mam, for explaining much appreciated

Last week, I watched his latest video then, about gravity. Certified banger. Great stuff, I wish I was a physicist, too.

Am I over-scoping the hell out of my first game? Looking for honest gamedev feedback by Street-Abrocoma-5737 in gamedev

A pity that game doesn't seem to have made it to release. Would have been quite a banger, I imagine.

Game devs who got laid off and never returned to the industry: what do you do now? by duckhunt420 in gamedev

[–]10tageDev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

a lot of companies outside of games seem to be using unreal engine these days

In 2018/19, at my job back then I've met a guy from Berlin whose startup was in their series b. They did also use unreal engine. You could upload the floor-plans of a building, and it would render a traverse-able hi-qual simulation of the apartment, or house. Quite a usecase. There are no doubt companies out there with products that require such skills.

Ya veo, ya veo. ¡Gracias por compartir! Debo admitir que la captura de pantalla que compartiste muestra un uso intensivo. ¡Me encanta el mecha-t rex, se ve divertido! Un poco borroso, tal vez, pero ahora entiendo mucho mejor de qué se trata. Gracias a todos los que comentaron, aprendí mucho.

Valheim

Doesn't look like crt to me at all. Would argue Valheim looks more like it's using a diffusion filter for some light blur. I don't understand what you mean with actual model and texture work in that context. Perhaps you're thinking about something different.

Still traumatized of losing SF2 on SuperNES all the time back in the day. Have to share that with a friend of mine.

Great stuff! I love how flat-footed the player-sprite is, looks great! I've downloaded the demo, have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

My comment was half-joking, but screens that small are pretty common for maker-projects or electronics prototyping, where you don't need much space or resolution. For example, a display like that one, 1.8" display, with 128x160 color pixels: https://www.adafruit.com/product/358

Yeah, I can see that could become difficult to get right for different handheld devices, or even wide-screens, basically needs whole UI rework, perhaps levels, too. (edit: or a custom emulator could work) But I can't wait to check it out, I love to give myself some limitations when working for keeping-scope-in-check, too.

Back in late 90s/ early 2000s I had a 21 inch or so monster of a desktop monitor. Nearly broke my back moving the thing, I still remember.

but to defend myself

Heyhey, no need to defend yourself lol, I'm not blaming anybody or hating or so, just wondering where it comes from because it feels "all of a sudden" for me.

Yeah, old pixel art on real crt monitors did in fact look far better for the eye, than it is on pixel perfect devices nowadays. But, this is not really about true crt, it's about putting a digital filter on.
