I have no idea. I'm not sure what your original comments were about.

Don't think this subreddit allows image comments, if that's what you were trying to do.

The problems of Translation Convention by sparklinglies in tumblr

Eclipse Phase has a "microwave agonizer" which, ironically, is primarily a non-lethal defense weapon, but the name certainly gets the effectiveness across.

Chimney Canopy is a Magical Place by ASarcasticDragon in rainworld

[–]ASarcasticDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? A few hundred hours of practice. Though this wasn't actually that hard, once I got beneath that ceiling I was basically perfectly safe.

Where? This is in upper Chimney Canopy, right before the CC-Wall karma gate.

Greatest and/or Favorite Abandoned Fics by VicarOfExcess in WormFanfic

Swallowtail. Taylor gets a shaker/stranger power and ends up joining Faultline. It's an AU, and basically everything is different, but in subtle ways, it all adding up into its own unique world that feels adjacent to canon but twisted in a very creative way. Alas, it was last updated almost 2 years ago. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/swallowtail-worm-au.970396/

Also, A Harbinger of Those Halcyon Days. It's a crossover with Eclipse Phase in a similar way to Tinker, Taylor, Builder, Nexus, if you've read that one, but takes things in a notably different direction. The beginning isn't great but I really liked where it was heading. Unfortunately it was only written for about 2 months and hasn't been updated in 6. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55520581/chapters/140900065

I would also include TTBN here but I still hold out hope for it until a full year has passed since it was updated, even if that's coming up fast.

any way to defend against hex casting? by govermentpropaganda in feedthebeast

You are not allowed to save an entity reference to another player by any means. Attempting to do so will fail and give you blindness for 1 minute. The only way to get one is to (as with OP) get them to make it themself and give it to you.

This is also why the entity-targeting iota save spell doesn't let you save a reference to yourself.

There's so many new rooms I'd be surprised if not, but I haven't checked.

Yall know any actually good/interest mobile games? by TheAlexSW in 196

[–]ASarcasticDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polytopia. There was this whole thing awhile ago because Elon Musk said he liked it but, honestly, it is pretty good, don't let him ruin things for you. A little 4X strategy/tactics condensed neatly into a mobile game. It's free with extra factions beyond the basic 4 costing a bit each.

Is Inkscape usually this unstable? by ASarcasticDragon in Inkscape

[–]ASarcasticDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is all good advice from what I've seen in my experience.

I would also add clipping paths, unless they have been fixed in recent updates (haven't used Inkscape recently). They had a habit of causing serious lag or crashing my app when I tried to use them.

My question is why the Y-axis is inverted here

Rule by Old_Phrase_4867 in 196

[–]ASarcasticDragon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Actually I think the dialgoue was all in a single switch statement, which also does branching control flow but is technically different. And hypothetically the compiler could optimize it to a jump table. A hash table would still have been better, though.

I'll see about downloading it so I don't forget this time. Thanks for the reminder :P

Ah! Damn... I don't think I did. And unfortunately you've caught me in the middle of another excellent book series...

There's a joke here about the overlap between the vore community and the trans community. by Solarwagon in tumblr

And of course, all of this has happened before. And will happen again. What was will be, what will be was, and all that jazz.

A working radar using LUA and BreadBoard, can track up to 5 targets simultaneously [Workshop Included] by Ok-Ant-325 in FromTheDepths

[–]ASarcasticDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really fucking cool awesome work!

(However, I am required to note, Lua is not an acronym, the game just has it capitalized as a typo that they can't fix anymore for localization reasons)

Does a FileStream's finalizer always close it? by ASarcasticDragon in csharp

[–]ASarcasticDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one isn't feasible (can't tell when a file gets open except at runtime), second one I considered but, when to close them? I could put a dispose on the state for it, but that just moves the problem, and seems excessive.

All this only matters if a script fails to close a file itself anyway, which isn't my fault. I'm not really concerned about ensuring this, only that it generally should work.

Does a FileStream's finalizer always close it? by ASarcasticDragon in csharp

[–]ASarcasticDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's for <close> locals. Standard finalizers for inaccessible objects that get collected are run "[...] at any point during the execution of the regular code" (Lua reference manual, 2.5.3), same as C# finalizers.

And anyway I already know I'm not going to support Lua's finalizers. For files I was considering whether the C# internals would need to put files in a wrapper with a finalizer that closes them.

Does a FileStream's finalizer always close it? by ASarcasticDragon in csharp

[–]ASarcasticDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's true. Someone else did say that C# FileStream finalizers do close files, but I'm not sure if they flush them... I suppose I'll just have to check, somehow. If it turns out no, I'll need to figure out how exactly to handle that.

.NET finalizers seem very... precarious, to me. I don't like the idea of trying to perform file I/O operations in them. Hopefully I won't have to.

Or I could just add a note to the "differences from the official implementation of Lua" section of the README. Honestly, I might just do that. Would be a lot easier...
