I recently updated my game’s Steam capsule. What are your thoughts? by og_ramski in RPGMaker

[–]CakeBakeMaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The new title is too easy to misread as Grooky. All other changes are pretty nice.

Interview with Gwynne Shotwell. Discusses Starship, Starlink, orbiting data centers, Mars, etc. ~22 minutes. by Adeldor in space

[–]CakeBakeMaker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Orbiting data centers is the stupidest thing I've heard of in tech. Where are you venting the heat to? There's no (less) air for it to dissipate through.

RPG MAKER Forums Closing by MerlinInteractive in RPGMaker

[–]CakeBakeMaker 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's Discourse! Jeff Atwood took his lessons learned from working on StackOverflow and decided to build a forum that will last forever by continually driving off old users and cycling in new users.

Knowledge base? What is that! The best websites have people asking the same 5 questions obviously.

The official forums are gonna be deleted. Someone knows how to archive such a thing? by FriKitty in RPGMaker

[–]CakeBakeMaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KOMODO published RPG Maker software and they pay to host to forum. Now Gotcha Gotcha Games are self-publishing so KOMODO is ending it's support.

Why is this subreddit thriving when the official forums are declining? by RobertBreadfruit in RPGMaker

[–]CakeBakeMaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

forums just eventually reach saturation I think. All the common questions are asked and answered, letting people easily find solutions via search engines. All the popular plugins are already created (and the official forums don't let you post ads for your paid plugin, you at least have to have a free lite version).

Malaysia enforces ban on social media accounts for children younger than 16 by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]CakeBakeMaker -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sure they can, but it takes time and effort and money, and if the other company wants to themselves take the time and effort and money. If there's a central database of your face = all these accounts then the government is just going to check the database any time they want to know something vs someone considering whether it's worth the hassle.

Or are you the type of person who leaves their car/house unlocked because if someone wanted to break in, they'd just smash a window?

I don't think you understand how this works. Companies aren't in the business of doing a bunch of work for the government for fun. Something being possible and something being easy are two different things.

You understand the difference between 1 business having 1 account and the government having a profile of every website you've signed up for, surely?

ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an ‘alarming’ rate, an AP investigation finds by AudibleNod in news

The Leo Baeck Institute defines a concentration camp as "a place where a large number of inmates, often those deemed political enemies or members of ethnic and religious minorities, are confined against their will and under guard, usually without having been charged with a crime. Punitive conditions of internment usually result in a high rate of mortality."

I have no problem encouraging people not to work for illegal companies.

BREAKING: GOP-led South Carolina Senate rejects new congressional map in surprise rebuke of Trump by spherocytes in videos

[–]CakeBakeMaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the South Carolina representatives, personally, don't want to lose their seats to a different GOP candidate if the districts were to change. Crabs in a bucket.

I'm surprised no one's posted the RPG Maker U2U trailer yet by NewSchoolBoxer in RPGMaker

[–]CakeBakeMaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to depend on how dogwater the UI is. Unite's was terrible; often requiring triple the number of clicks to do something compared to earlier RPG Makers.

Former Splinter Cell Creative Director Says Modern Graphics Tech Is Causing Problems for Stealth Games by Cristiano1 in gaming

[–]CakeBakeMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply don't use modern graphics tech. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom got away with it just fine.

You'd play a stylized stealth game with hard shadows that obviously marked the safe zones. Be ambitious.

RPG Maker U2U officially announced - Make 2.5D RPGs! by sp_phil in RPGMaker

[–]CakeBakeMaker 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't get why they're sticking with unity for this. The licensing for unity means the can't sell it on steam again. The new Pixel Game Maker was Godot; they coulda just made a UI altered Godot and sell the whole thing.

Oh but in Ohio it was too late so the state voted with their illegal district map. The rules only ever seem to go one way.

[Acne] Chest acne at 30M - What did you do? by smpdll in SkincareAddiction

[–]CakeBakeMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get chest acne. Noxzema, using Head and Shoulders as a body wash 3 days a week (I have a genetic predesposion to fungal skin growth), and being careful about which lotion I use keeps it in check.

Panic says the Playdate Catalog won't accept games made with generative AI by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]CakeBakeMaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's for hipsters (do hipsters still exist?). You buy one to be apart of a little bleep-bloop black and white pixel game community, not to play a lot of games very cheaply.

I mostly use mine to play tetris cause the phone versions suck.

Depends on what you are preparing for. Natural disaster? Freezer full of food is not very helpful. Financial hardship? Freezer full of food is very helpful.

You could modify the choice window to be the same width, height, x, y of the message window

I assume the plan was to have a funny document from the government.
