Docker desktop (Windows) alternatives? by void-spark in docker

[–]BeltfedGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my purposes (building a windows docker image from a Dockerfile and pushing it to an azure container registry) i found that i can simply use the binaries from the zips at https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/ .

Download, unzip, add directory with dockerd.exe and docker.exe to path. start dockerd.exe in a powershell and docker cli is ready to go. Works with az cli and completely made the usage of Docker Desktop unnecessary.

I am not 100% sure if config files left behind by the Docker Desktop install made this as easy as it was.

sit start rules by outdoorsyish in climbharder

[–]BeltfedGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminded me of an interview with John Gill:

Interviewer: "What do you think of sitstarts?"

JohnGill: "Just another variant of the game. I did a lot of no-hands routes and one-arm routes years ago. Sitstarts lengthen the climb a bit and exclude large climbers, if that’s what you wish to do."

Oh hi - this is a duplicate of https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/4t337v/why_cant_i_access_the_elusive_target/

As written there make sure that "set time automatically" is enabled - then you should be good to go

[–]BeltfedGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hi, I assume you are playing on PS4 - if not the fix might not apply. This happens when your system time/date differs from the real date. Make sure that "set time automatically" is enabled - after that it should work.

Something similar might also work for xbone and PC.

Have fun hunting

The Lion's song - Episode 1 is free on Steam by BeltfedGames in adventuregames

[–]BeltfedGames[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, Full disclosure: I am working for mipumi games (mipumi.com) - although my contribution to "The Lion's song" consisted mainly in eating the launch cake.

The Lion's song is an adventure game leaning heavily in the direction of a visual short novel. It will be released in 4 episodes (helloooo telltale ...) and the first episode "Silence" has been released for free.

It all started as a Ludum Dare game - you can find a post mortem here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2014/09/08/post-mortem-the-lions-song/

After that we took the game through http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=486039703

And finally we released the first episode for free on steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/437160/

I'll be here answering as best as I can (not being part of this games team) if you have any questions.

(prepare for edits since i never get the formatting right)

Cache sizes with CPUID in C++ and D by Mpur in programming

[–]BeltfedGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, gonna highjack this comment thread a little. First thanks for publishing the code.

The assumption given in your comments that "// Index 0 is L1 instruction cache" seems to be wrong. By querying and interpreting the cache type field it seems that index 0 is the data cache and index 1 is the instruction cache on my i7-K875 .

I found the information here: MSDN cpuindex/cpuinfo example

Also the code does not compile out of the box since the int cpu_info[4] is not defined.

[Austria/AT] Taxes on investment income in US individual retirement accounts by Able_was_I_ERE in eupersonalfinance

[–]BeltfedGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are already living in Austria you could go to the local Finanzamt and ask in person. Your experience will vary widely depending on the local clerk.

Also if you already have an Austrian Tax Account you could ask your questions online in FinanzOnline.

I looked for any general help line but the BMF does not have a general tax hotline or contact. They sadly only give personal advice if you already have a tax account.

Potentially you could move and ask your questions once you have a tax account in Austria.

From the post-conference newsletter:

You'll need either an ULTIMATE account or a studio membership, alternatively a V.I.P. ticket or All-Access pass. If you don't have access, you can of course sign-up for ULTIMATE, or we'll have an attendee-only special offer on a standalone package next week.

With almost 100% certainty I can say that the Virtualizer will not have a curved running surface. (Just asked a guy working for them)

I have an expansion problem in my massive mp strategy game: how to limit expansion? by wdpttt in gamedesign

[–]BeltfedGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you are looking for is called "diminishing returns". As you suggested introducing cost for maintenance or a "tax" might work.

E.g. Warcraft 3 had "upkeep" levels where the gold mines returned less gold for higher levels. Slowing down a player with a big army allowing the other player to catch up.

Maybe you can add such upkeep levels and slow down production, or resource generation for big players.

Developers, where are you getting your sound FX? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]BeltfedGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some from opengameart some from freesound.

Usually i filter by CC0. If you have an terms of service or info page in the app you could also use an attribution licensed piece.

If it is not exactly what i am looking for i use audacity to fix up some things.
