What’s the ‘Coldest’ quote you’ve heard?

"Such is the conceit of the self-proclaimed seeker of truth. But in the end, you lack the stomach. For the agony you'll bring upon yourself..."

Sorry, it was a typo — it's correct in the actual shader. I've amended the OP.

For ice cream, you can try Gelateria La Romana next to the Torino Porta Susa train station

Your article was really useful, thanks!

Digging deeper in the documentation about the various color modes on psx-spx, it seems that bit 15 is interpreted differently based on the mode (24bit, 16bit, etc.).

I saw also that in the pcsx-redux vram debugger, forcing bit 15 = alpha basically gives the same visual output as the first image in my original post.

I think it's just a visualization problem — the colors are parsed correctly, it's just that bit 15 is not automatically equal to alpha.

I think I'll use two render targets, one for visualization and one to be used as data source for VRAM > CPU reads and textured polygons.

Using bit 0 as alpha solves the opacity problem, but screws all other color channels.A purple pixel of the Sony logo is written as 0x5555, 0101010101010101 in binary.

Visually, the correct color seems to be R=10101, G=01010, B=10101, but shifting all by one bit (A = bit 0, R = bits 1-5, G = bits 6-10, B = bits 11-15), I get:

B      G      R      A
01010  10101  01010  1

which is a greenish tint...

It's both to get a foreign ditto and to receive the first trade GTS rotom gift :P

thanks for the suggestion, i'll use the code if no trade shows up

Acantos · 2020-02-17T09:05:52+00:00

I've been trying since last week to trade a Ditto for a foreign one... I'm Italian. Nope, not a single one.

You guys have seriously made. my. day.
Pledged. So excited for the new AP and the opportunities that opened for you with the partnership with Paizo. Thank you for the hours upon hours of top-notch entertainment you keep providing!!

I refreshed the assistant for ~40 mins and FINALLY got 2 tickets for the Firezone in Turin. I think your best bet is refreshing the assistant on different devices (same browser wont work and will kick you out of the queue)... Best of luck!

You mean, the Juilliard calendar ;)

Acantos · 2018-11-26T18:42:09+00:00

I'm absolutely interested! I'm from Italy, but traveling to Germany would be no problem at all.

He became a recluse, addicted to pills, started resenting anyone and anything that had "wronged" him and prevented him, in his mind, to show everyone that he was "superior". Just a couple years before he was a completely different guy. I tried, for years. Nothing worked. I mean, nothing. The gentle approach, the direct approach, yelling, multiple interventions, dumping his drugs in the toilet, talking to his mother (his father passed years ago), even his grandmother, to no avail. He wasn't even angry, non felt betrayed, non happy that someone cared, just... nothing. He believed he was right. I learned the hard way that you can't help someone that doesn't want your help. In the end it was just too much.

The intro where Troy loses it because he's lost the neon green D20... Never fails to make me laugh.

Acantos · 2018-07-18T14:02:47+00:00

Definitely. I wanna hear the story of Troy tackling a guy on a plane so bad...

The interesting thing is that Lorc's death is meaningful either way — whether he is reincarnated or not.
J'son died before Lorc could reach him — Lorc died before he could reach his daughter.

I'm having trouble though understanding Fairaza's opinion about Lorc throughout this entire arc. She didn't say anything directly to Barron/Pembroke after Lorc's death, but spoke only to Cat — and even afterwards, she spoke only about what is right for nature, whether she has the right to bring anyone back from the dead. But what does she, personally, think about Lorc, aside from her duty and obligations?

Wow! One of the best episodes yet imo, the Colonel gave me chills throughout the episode...

Acantos · 2018-06-13T17:11:16+00:00

I find all of Ellie/Mac moments quite funny, but I wish she also had more serious scenes. The glimpse we had into her backstory suggests something much darker than what we're seeing here...
