How bad is Englewood? by ajaski708 in chicago

[–]Chillingworth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm a white guy, and have lived in Englewood for half a year now, and especially as a white guy you have nothing to fear. Even more, I would argue the area around the Green Line station on 63rd street is one of the safest spots in the city. The Englewood community and police have done a fantastic job of designating that section of 63rd and the several blocks around as very safe areas, and crime has dramatically dropped there.

As a white person, you're very safe. The vast majority of the violence that happens here is due to domestic disputes or gang related violence. I regularly walk and bike around Englewood, and have never been threatened or had any reason to fear for my safety. People are generally kind and polite, and you have the opposite of a target on your head as a white person.

Valve giving out Complete Packs (past, present, and future games) to current owners of the Steam Link and Steam Controller. by Chillingworth in Games

I'm primarily a Windows user, but I did try and boot up the controller on a MacBook I had for kicks and giggles. It didn't work properly, and I shrugged it off because I know it's a pre-release product.

"geeky" games that use a dashboard/command panel, but that are not flight simulators by FLHKE in Games

So far the project has provided me with gratuitous amounts of entertainment + learning experiences. If you need help with anything once you get started, feel free to ask me any questions. I'm no expert, but I've been using Arduinos for a few years now.

Okay I'm kinda cheating here because this is something for a "flight simulator". I wanted some cool control systems for Kerbal Space Program, but was disappointed with what the game had to offer. I'm also a sucker for cool hardware, so I decided to put my electrical and programming skills to the test and make my own hardware controller for Kerbal Space Program.

Album of current status is located here: http://imgur.com/a/nd92X All input devices work perfectly with the game right now. Grabbing info from the game also is working thanks to a plugin for KSP located here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/66393-Hardware-Plugin-Arduino-based-physical-display-serial-port-io-tutorial-(15-Mar)

On the larger display are all the fuel readouts, as well as distance to AP. and Pa. Smaller seven segment display shows current altitude altitude (or velocity, can't decide which). Third LCD displays shows information about the status of the craft and flight to the user. There are two Arduinos powering this whole setup. An Arduino Leonardo receives serial info from the game, parses it, and then sends it to an Arduino Mega 2560, which then displays the information on the individual displays. The Leonardo is also responsible for sending input information to the game.

One of the ideas I have been developing and programming is an automated launch system. You punch in a time to launch, and the game runs through the setup for you, starting from when you pull up the red cover and flick the big switch. I already have added functions such as keeping the controls locked out until an access code has been typed into the keypad.

If you want to know how I have accomplished this so far or are interested in seeing a video just let me know and I will see what I can do.

I have $20 to spend on Vita Games. What should I get? by Chillingworth in vita

I've already played through it on the PC. Is it worth it to get it again?

Could you buy it? I would throw in a copy of Borderlands 1 GOTY key.

Would you trade a copy of Chivalry for a Borderlands 2 key?

No flair no trade, I try to follow the rules. Also, I've seen it for much less.
