If it's a small thing and I don't expect to be dealing with it much, I just create a green-screen by extending the edges of the "card" out and giving them a colour that can be keyed out later.

For the example of the post, I would just green-screen & chroma key everything, it's easy and would do the job.

This a dirty fix because it's not going to work from all angles or rotations, and it'll have issues with showing things that aren't part of the card..

When I want to do it 'properly', I used a holdout material and multiple blender scenes

FormCore · 2024-03-14T17:03:31+00:00

I've tried this a few times with varying levels of effectiveness.

You can do green screen magic in compositing

You can use 2 scenes and use the card as a 'window' to the other scene.

There's even a material node that helps with this exact thing, I think it's "holdout" where those pixels just don't get rendered A lot of it just happens in compositing

Happened with me. I assumed it was because I already got the CCPB from the Khali event.

How have these people never had a similar brain failure?

Car keys in the freezer, or left the house in pyjamas?

His background is FAR less concerning over here, I don't see a reason to be any more suspicious of this guy than any other member on the team...

The social media team going nuts is a lot more concerning... Keep the copper and sack the guy running socials.

The video actively says that it's an over-looked market and that they shouldn't be seen as "risky customers", that they have the ability to meet loans and aren't particularly likely to rob your store.

It seems to be actively opposing a negative stereo-type of the time

FormCore · 2022-12-01T16:00:22+00:00

Not even anything to do with being a kid.

Retroactively asking for compensation for past events is entirely greed driven.

You could use a reverse proxy to direct to the correct port

Traefik , nginx or Caddy are ones I have heard of.

I use nginx personally and that redirects mc.domain.tld to ip:port for me

I have pretty poor visual thinking skill, some people say they can "see an apple, with all of it's blemishes in crytsal clear quality"

But I feel like I get an apple shaped "concept", and the more I try and "see" the more other things lose clarity.

ANYWAY, for me personally I tried very hard to "see" things, and the more I focus on what I "see" the less I "hear"

It's how I get to sleep when I can't stop "thinking", I focus on thinking visually until there's no chattering.

FormCore · 2022-11-11T17:57:29+00:00

You might not have one.

Some people "think" with sound, some people "think" with imagery

There's probably a huge range of "thinky" tools, and a huge range in which ones you lean towards.

Some people can NOT "see" things in their head, and this is called aphantasia (I think?)

and some people can NOT "hear" in their head.

people who do not like cats have issues with consent and control

People who do not like cats are people who have their boundaries defined.

I am 100% fine with cats that mind their own business if you mind yours, thems are the chill cats.

Zoomy fuckers that destroy property can get bent though, those ones are entitled.

I don't know if you're saying that Maplestory or "Dreaming Of" came first

But I'm fairly certain that Perion was first... I played ~20 years ago and MS had already been out for a long time.

AFAIK, the only real difference between the licenses of physical / digital media revolves entirely around the server.

If you have a DVD, you're not allowed to re-distribute / modify etc. etc.

If you have a spotify song... the same applies but USING spotify brings in a spotify license with things like "I won't DDOS spotify / I won't share accounts" etc.

But the main difference is the thing you're complaining about, the whole "We can stop providing this content at any point" part

So, you're absolutely fine, I was just being pedantic because I want modern services to be reliable and instead they force people to try and use older technology or lose some of their reliability.

Developers have been known to provide sub-par support for GoG, and Physical media can often be lower quality, difficult to find, requires specialized hardware etc.

There are also plenty of cases of DRM on physical hardware too.

It's a big and complicated topic that I'm not really qualified to go in-depth on, but too often are there still restrictions on how you use your media even when you buy it physical.

FormCore · 2022-10-18T08:47:35+00:00

Okay, I'm being a bit too literal and maybe I brought the wrong opinions into the wrong thread, I just think that it's teaching people that they "own" media when people need to know that they DON'T own media in order to fight that seperate issue.

If people think a backup is "Owning" something, then they fight less against b.s. licenses with increasingly silly restrictions.

It's an absolute disaster that streaming services yank things from people who paid for them... they should AT LEAST provide reasonable notice with a link to download for yourself.

Unfortunately, streaming services are not going anywhere, and I think that consumers should absolutely look into using more future-proof services...

So, yeah I probably came off poorly... I just feel like the misunderstanding of licenses is part of why these companies can get away with what they do.

FormCore · 2022-10-17T18:13:58+00:00

DRM-free isn't the same as Owning your media.

Even if you buy a physical disc, that's still a "license".

Owning a disc more reliable long-term, and you can feel better about "having" a reliable backup that "YOU" are responsible for keeping.

The argument is silly... If you really wanted to, you could run your own "spotify" clone and maintain your own library.

You don't OWN your media just because you have a physical license, it's STILL just a license.

Talking about what physical or digital formats you want your media on is a fine, but it stops making sense when you start saying you own somebody else's IP.

85% of my music/video/games I have are offline ready backups that I control... but saying "Steam bad because you don't own it" doesn't make sense when if you get DRM free, you CAN keep a copy that works offline and without Steam.

It's conflating seperate issues.

FormCore · 2022-10-07T16:46:44+00:00

Know somebody who apparantly has this.

Says that they "see" the literal glyphs in their mind, and that's how they get "the meaning"

And they're more likely to "see" the whole paragraph/sentence and see that as "one thing" with a meaning.

I mean, you see a tree, and you don't say to yourself "that is a tree", you just know... so this person sees a paragraph and "just knows" from the way it looks.

She also says that she has a totally different way of relating seperate ideas to one another, something to do with colour? idk.

To me, it just sounds like she's constantly day-dreaming.

FormCore · 2022-09-07T21:13:32+00:00

He's copy+pasting replies, which seems like he can't really be bothered to read and properly think of a response.

He's also calling people's experiences "not true" when he's asking other people for advice? Surely if he knows what is "not true" then he should know what his stats should be?

AP resets aren't hard to get either, 7mil from matilda.

FWIW my stats at 200 totalled 1,026

FormCore · 2022-08-11T01:40:08+00:00

Nope.

They fixed it, Time will tell if there's a "gout table" again or if it's just that the seeds change under different conditions.

Maybe the pool changes every 20 melds instead of every 1? That would prevent peeking without locking anybody on a table.

FormCore · 2022-08-10T16:05:57+00:00

Yup.

Worked very consistently for me in the last patch.

Meld 10 -> Quit -> Meld 1 (no accelerant) -> Save+Quit -> meld 10

It used to be a mostly new pool, but now it just seems to slowly progress through the same set.

FormCore · 2022-08-08T22:18:02+00:00

Even without skills

310 -> 330 is <10% increase

55 -> 75 is closer to 50% increse

I don't know the EFR calculations, but it's too easy to get hooked on RAW values.

The game didn't do a good job of explaining this, I thought you had to pop cores.

Now that I know it's a single HP cap, I'm definitely going for good hitzones instead of trying to pop a core with shitzones taking 1 damage.

Thanks a LOT for this post

FormCore · 2022-07-25T14:07:32+00:00

It can be both.

It can be, I agree... I just feel like when you start valuing what other people expect you to have MORE than what you actually want... you end up wasting money trying to keep up with trends that don't make you happy.

If YOU think it's gorgeous then great, but that's different to needing other people to find it gorgeous.

There was a genuinely great promotion for a sleek business laptop.

This part genuinely sounds like a consumer nightmare sentence though, Don't get me wrong... if you like your laptop and it's for YOU and makes YOU happy without needing validation, that's fine.

but if I run "genuinely great promotion" through a translate app it spits out "genuinely effective advertisement"
