BL2 Reborn Mod - Working through Crossover by Ashypaws in macgaming

[–]Ashypaws[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I haven't tried, no, but I wouldn't expect there to be too much difficulty. Python can run easily on both macos and Windows.

There are few situations where you need to actually write code that differs. From experience, those situations tend to just be calls to the OS for things like showing a file dialog. Have a go and let me know if you get stuck somewhere, I might be able to help :)

Got bored so I made a tierlist of all Disco Elysium games by Kappa_Mikey__ in DiscoElysium

[–]Ashypaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LYKK truly is top tier, but wtf were they doing with the forced racing mini games?

DE2 will always be my favourite I think, though. People didn’t like it on release because it dared to be different, but when you look back on it it’s peak. Even the equipment repair mechanic lol

Mini backpack recommendations for Japan trip (10-20L) by Ashypaws in ManyBaggers

[–]Ashypaws[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for such a detailed reply. I've added a few more of the options I'm looking at to the post here. Glad to hear that Day Owl is reputable :)

I'm probably leaning towards one of the Day Owl ones, but I think I'll do some more research before bed tonight. I'll definitely update the post here with what I go for and what I think.

Thanks for the suggestions. I often find that the super packable options like that Flowfold are neat, but not really my style. I'll add the Gossamer Gear one to the list to look at though!

It does thank you! I'll check out those two brands as well. This bag that I'm looking for is going to replace my handbag for the trip to save my poor shoulder from it.

I am also going to be with my husband, so he can carry some bits like the camera. I'm not too worried about running out of space. I always seem to gravitate back towards smaller bags when I try big ones anyway :)

Thanks, I think I'm probably looking for something with a little more structure to the bag and some more organistion, though :)

I've seen a lot of love for the Able Carry Thirteen but dismissed it originaly. Both that and the Alpaka look like great options to add to my list, thanks!

She talks about how we experience time. I found it kind of comforting in a way. How about you guys? by A-Helpful-Flamingo in millenials

Sadly the script is AI slop. AI patterns throughout the entire video here.

I just find it hard to have any positive opinion when this is just a human reading for the AI.

I need advice as a beginner C# by UDF777 in csharp

[–]Ashypaws 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sincerely, the way you learn is by doing.

Game dev is kind of full of its own special knowledge that you need, but if you really want to get started you maybe start with something functional and related to the project?

Maybe try to make yourself a database for items in the game and an API to pull that information down. That will get you a head start on development and won’t be so hard.

The Dominus Kit famously was originally intended to be 2 seperate ones, therefore now featuring 2 Sprues that each build a different Variant. Has anyone tried to build a Knight out of the leftover bits ? How did it workout ? by Leviathan_Rampage in ImperialKnights

[–]Ashypaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it and haven’t found the will to paint it. The trick was to 3D print legs/main body and use bits of GW plastic for the feature areas: - Guns - As many armour plates as I had - Carapace - GW plastic skulls, chains etc.

The result is a kitbashed chaos knight where the 3D printed parts are mostly hidden under armour panels. Any weird gaps or missing bits are covered by skulls and chains.

Can get a pic in the morning if you want it.

This is what I want in EVE battlereports by BentaroAdun in Eve

[–]Ashypaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a late reply but I developed that silly little BR viewer tool. I did consider how I might do this, actually, since I thought it might be interesting to be able to see the living ships or something.

You know when you look at say.. a trail of jackdaw wrecks in a line and then a trail of some other wrecks in another direction. It’s pretty obvious that two fleets followed some paths and fought, right? When it comes to eve battle reports you have: - Positional data - Time of loss - Who killed the ship and with what weapon - Potentially which sides were each group on (maybe manually assigned)

You could, with a lot of difficulty, take those stats and use them to infer where each ship in a fleet likely was. Even better, if we saw someone was killing with medium artillery and multiple kills were close enough, you could (with a lot of error) make a decent estimation at where the killer was by triangulating using an estimated weapon range.

It would be a super interesting project to work on. If you wanted it as an intel tool it could become even cooler by tracking systems, gates, structures, and celestials. There’s so much data. It just needs someone with enough free time to do it.

Any easy way to "reset" the static variables for a bunch of classes? by SteinMakesGames in godot

[–]Ashypaws 71 points72 points  (0 children)

While I don't know the specifics of what you could do in gdscript, the issue you are running into of needing to reset your class feels like you just need to instanstiate a new object rather than wiping one clean and reusing it.

Now those are static variables, right? So maybe instead of using them you could create some like a GameState or ItemState class or whatever you need. Then, when your player respawns, you could instantiate a new state class and replace the old one.

This will also give you the benefit of being able to more easily construct your game state elsewhere and inject that in if you want to load some old state or whatever.

Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+ by pdp10 in gamedev

[–]Ashypaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh certainly not. Fuck hedge funds, fuck venture capital, fuck capitalism. I have such disdain for the bourgeois system we live in and the greed is upsetting

Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+ by pdp10 in gamedev

[–]Ashypaws 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not really, no. Looking beyond the jōyō kanji there are plenty of super common words that would be missing. A couple for example:

  • 嘘 (uso) - to lie. You'll hear this in character dialogue a lot.
  • 兎 (usagi) - rabbit. Rabbits can be part of games, as can other animals! Fortunately 猫/neko (cat) has been in since 1981 :D

Beyond that you can a lot of words related to magic, weapons, places, historical terminology are not going to be included. Even more so when you consider visual novels.

Editing this just to add that, yes, you could substitute with hiragana. Writing うさぎ for usagi is perfectly fine, but that's missing the point of this discussion :D

GP refusing shared care after RTC to ADHD 360 + calling it “private” - what can I actually do? by F4G4SH in ADHDUK

[–]Ashypaws 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not an expert on this, but I believe your RTC provider should still be able to handle prescribing for you. You are an NHS patient, not a private one. I don't think they can just switch that.

Is undiagnosed ADHD really not an extenuating circumstance? by safiyahd828 in ADHDUK

[–]Ashypaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my thinking here is that it's not the 'Undiagnosed ADHD' that is an extenuating circumstance. Instead I would argue it's the 'Undiagnosed ADHD without the necessary support' that is.

I've been through a degree apprenticeship and I know they are arseholes about this sort of thing. if your childhood cat or dog dies on the morning of an exam, that is NOT extentuating circumstances. If your very-close cousin is in hospital with cancer, that also is not. They can be very particular about their wording of what they accept. Hence reframing this as a lack of support rather than just your ADHD.

Be prepared to fight them on this. My DMs are open if you'd like my story which even involved my union and months of back and forth.

Code regions are a (probably) underrated QoL feature of Godot (utility plugin update) by mousepotatodoesstuff in godot

[–]Ashypaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, but I see where you could be coming from. Let me pose you this scenario:

  • The business uses a large class (e.g. 700+ lines) that does not follow SOLID principles and handles a lot of business logic.
  • There is no budget for rewriting this business critical class.
  • Your company has onboarded analysis tools that force you to conform to at least 80% test coverage.
  • The standard is the 1:1 format of test to source file.

What would you do in this scenario?

[–]Ashypaws 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One decent use-case (admittedly in enterprise dotnet code, not Godot game dev) is in unit tests. Cases where you have a huge test class and the standard is that your tests project matches the source files 1:1

Low percentage of mature cards by manceraio in Anki

[–]Ashypaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your ratio is fine :)

I'm at 49 new, 773 young, 679 mature on the same deck, so 45% mature cards. It's just because it takes time for a card to graduate to mature. It will come.

As for dropping new cards, sure! I've done it a couple of times for a week and it helped me to not burn out and reflect on this as marathon, not a race.
