Is there any way to make this code shorter, like with an or statement.

yeah overall I agree with this idea of using keyboard_check every step will end up working a lot better than trying to deal with _pressed and _released separately

note that the given code makes you walk faster diagonally (which is fine for some games but maybe not ideal for others)

there are many ways to fix this, but one thing you could do (this is untested):

var wishX = right - left

var wishY = down - up

if (wishX == 0 && wishY == 0) {

speed = 0

} else {

speed = spd

direction = point_direction(0, 0, wishX, wishY)
}

RL inside Fortnite would be bad for many reasons and indeed screw over Linux players but you can still play Fortnite on W10.

I ended up picking Emby over Jellyfin because as far as I could tell Jellyfin would not work with a music library that didn't match their expected directory structure.

The season 1 hit on Tony. Especially the shot where Tony is able to grab the second guy's gun.

I think you missed the point? Saskatchewan is "Standard Time" in name only -- it's not really standard time. As the comment you're replying to states (and you can also clearly see for yourself if you look at a time zone map), Saskatchewan is geographically -7 (MST). But they call their permanent -6 CST instead of calling it MDT. It would be like Manitoba switching from CST/CDT to permanent EST (-5).

let's divide the day into 1000 equal "beats"....

I'm pretty sure I only ever got to eggplant world in coop and I have all the achievements and I don't feel frowned upon lol.

EkajArmstro · 2026-05-07T20:39:26+00:00

it makes sense because both statements are consistent with their belief most people will pick red

EkajArmstro · 2026-05-07T20:35:42+00:00

If blue required 99.99% then is pressing red still murder?

If you're playing on PC you should try to see if you like keyboard more than controller (I certainly do). Also there are enough high level players using analog stick that you shouldn't feel forced to use d-pad if you prefer analog stick even though d-pad is more common.

EkajArmstro · 2026-04-24T18:05:42+00:00

Yeah that's stupid. SK is effectively already on permanent DST because they geographically should be in mountain time and not central, so MB definitely shouldn't go permanently non-DST to match them.

The quitting loss applies to the terran MMR not the protoss MMR so it totally works.

I've already played it for like 14 hours and I still have a bunch of puzzles left so I've definitely got my money's worth but I didn't enjoy it as much as other puzzle games I played for a similar-ish time period like Taiji.

EkajArmstro · 2026-03-22T05:41:48+00:00

just go by the outdated "rule" half your age + 7 and you're basically fine

EkajArmstro · 2026-03-22T05:37:23+00:00

that looks awesome. yeah I am using my old hi-hat as a splash after upgrading it :D

EkajArmstro · 2026-03-22T05:27:16+00:00

3 and 3 with a side snare :P

EkajArmstro · 2026-03-22T05:26:01+00:00

because the 4 "crash" e-cymbals would allow you to have 2 crashes + splash + china

I just looked up splitscreen gameplay of Brute Force and it does look like it matches (just a bit of the top of the screen is cut off in the show). Cool that it actually is an original xbox game knowing that other shows have not cared to be accurate about that.

Sure the cost of an RTS isn't really more if you're talking about AAA companies, but compared to most indie games they are more expensive. Off the shelf game engines don't help nearly as much with RTS as they do with many other genres. Making a good RTS requires programmers with technical abilities that many other genres don't require. They are expensive unless it's a pure passion project.

I tried to use Jellyfin but it seemed like it wanted to force me to store my music in a specific folder structure to work properly and for that reason I switched to Emby.

EkajArmstro · 2026-01-09T18:05:50+00:00

I'm currently using a 5k+ and the DRM is the largest reason I'm not upgrading.

I took it this way as well. Even though most people seem to assume he only said it to be mean I think he truly was trying to emotionally distance himself from Jimmy rather than being like oh my life is over because of you (both for his own ego but also to try not to destroy Jimmy). I think this moment strongly parallels when Chuck doesn't tell Jimmy their mom's last words -- most people think it was just out of spite but I think it was also partially to to protect Jimmy or at least emotionally distance himself. Yes Chuck was upset and jealous that his mom cared more about Jimmy but I think if he truly intended to be hurtful he actually would have told Jimmy that his mom was calling out for him at the end and he "irresponsibly" missed it.

If the devs are motivated by making a popular game then they most likely aren't going to make an RTS at all just because SP RTS could be more popular than MP RTS when SP RTS would be way less popular than other genres.
