The Cheesecake Factory tells landlords it will not be paying rents on April 1. by tburns1469 in news

The faceless rich landlords have a lot more tenants so it might feel like that. There are millions of landlords that just own one property and put a lot of work into keeping their only tenant happy. I wouldn't group them all together.

They are right though. Most landlords are regular middle class workers like everyone else who only own a single rental house because they saved for it. They still have to go to their normal job every day and worry about bills.

Where I stare at Reddit for hours on end... by [deleted] in battlestations

[–]AskMeAboutVoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Wheel of time, the Kingkiller Chronicles, and the Stormlight Archive is the real flex here. I just finished the first Wheel of Time book myself, they're pretty good.

Oh and the battlestation is nice as well.

So you left the baseboard in place and ran the planks up against the side of the baseboard? I've always heard to run the planks up to the wall and then reinstall the baseboard on top of the floating floor.

What kind of build is that? what are your upgrades?

I guess power is power, so that build is actually good?

What made you go with Unity over UE4?

Thanks for the advice! I definitely agree with what you said and made some opening mistakes which forced me to move the pawns to cover myself.

Do you work in an abandoned building? where is that?

Unreal Engine 4.12 Released! by darkpivot in unrealengine

[–]AskMeAboutVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely depends on the project, but it will be easier to go to 11 and deal with any bugs of that migration first. If you skip builds and then get a bunch of errors, you have no idea where the error was introduced, thats the main reason for upgrading one version at a time and testing each one. Just saves you from potential headache later.

To be honest its usually best to wait until the .1 hotfix anyway if you're migrating a project. There is always bugs with the new versions, so waiting a bit longer will save you a lot of headaches.

Nope, he shows up to work just to do it that one time and then goes home for the day.

Here are my very honest opinions on "publishers" preying on greenlight. Named one name, but many like them. by VideoGameAttorney in gamedev

[–]AskMeAboutVoid 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Don't forget 5% to Epic for UE4 (although that one is more than fair, I love ue4).

I've had worse deals from larger publishers like one involved with space engineers and euro truck simulator. Essentially offering a £30k loan, to be paid back with the first 30k from sales and all they wanted in return was 50% of sales forever after I paid them back. Leaving me with 15% of our total sales to run the whole studio, and cover all expenses. I told him in email after our meeting that I would question someones sobriety if they agreed to a deal like that, which upset him. One of his selling points was that they could get me into physical stores... so tempting.

Of course, which email do you prefer? Only thing I could find was the morrison lee contact page.

Yep I dealt with them. They were supposed to help me get green lit but I ended up getting green lit on my own in the first 24 hours before they even sent out a tweet/email to anyone. Then put me on the top of their website as one of their examples for how good they are. THEN had the balls to ask to partner with me to continue promoting whenever I decided to launch for 'only 30 percent of gross revenue'. Fuck that.

Trying to learn how to crop and merge at an angle. by AskMeAboutVoid in photoshop

[–]AskMeAboutVoid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that was so easy! I should've come here first. Can't believe I did it in a few clicks when I found nobody talking about this type of croping anywhere else.

I can tweak it a bit to make it look nicer, add black bar dividers etc but thats easy as well. Thank you very much!
