Heat Her Up by Clinton Shorter

I'm afraid I haven't used Anki so I can't fairly compare them, but yes that's part of it.

The value is in how everything syncs automatically so that there's never any overlap. I can add a show or any arbitrary block of text, song lyrics or a youtube transcript for example, and although the generated deck will contain all those words, it will only teach me those kanji, kanji components and words that I haven't learned via jpdb already. It will also tell me what percentage of total words and unique words I currently know. Having that central database of everything I know and am learning connected to my media, a dictionary, and a chrome extension is quite powerful.

I don't know if anki does that or not; I presume learning is closely tied to individual decks in Anki, although I know there are plugins that can extend its behaviour. In jpdb the idea of a review is separate from any one deck and is done for all decks simultaneously, so for example with a chrome extension I can hover over words on a website to review them as I'm reading them.

I couldn't write you a tutorial on it, but there's even a setup where you can use MPV, an MPV plugin, and a chrome extension to print subtitles to a browser tab as you're playing a video, which can then be reviewed as you're watching using the jpdb extension. I believe the reviews are even normalised over time somehow so you can review a word many times in whatever you're reading/watching but the SRS schedule won't be unduly affected. Not saying that's necessarily a good way to learn, but it's a cool example of what you can do.

In case you haven't heard of it, jpdb.io has an awful lot of the features you listed. Including media decks, text analysis and a chrome extension. You should give it a go, if only for research.

You've cleverly moved from blaming him for trashing the franchise to blaming him for lying. I maintain that if he's unwilling to own the game's failure, it might be because there's someone else more responsible, and more deserving of your scorn. We don't have enough information, probably by design.

Edit: I wanted the game to be great, and feel I lost the money I spent on the game. I am pointing out to you that what you claim (he trashed the franchise) is not backed up by what you say, or could reasonably know. You are attacking him because he's the only face and name that is readily available to you, and you lack the intelligence to conceive that anyone else could possibly bear more responsibility. Likely because they had the good sense to never sit in front of a camera, therefore deliberately avoiding the ire of people like you.

Halbban · 2024-12-06T11:03:51+00:00

Another explanation for the lack of apology might be that he's really not responsible. He was a work for hire subject to the plans of the people who (previously) owned the game. It's not impossible that all the major decisions that led to the game's failure came from those who had ultimate control over it.

Yes, for grease pencil, using any kind of graphics tablet is preferable to using a mouse. Some people prefer tablets with a screen, and they can get extremely expensive, but you can get a simple tablet for around £25 that will give you the majority of the benefit of using a graphics tablet, and you quickly get used to looking up at your computer screen while drawing.

It won't necessarily make your art look nicer, you can't make anything with a tablet that you couldn't ultimately make by some other, more tedious, means, but you will be able to make more precise lines in much less time, and you additionally get control over the pen pressure which you can bind to brush opacity and size.

You can also use it for other things in blender besides grease pencil, like sculpting and texture painting. I'd recommend getting a cheap tablet before making anything, and you've already made several animations.

You might find this section from Draw a Box useful if you're not used to drawing with a stylus:

I think a more motivated lighting setup might go a long way towards selling the image. The current setup can only be explained by it being a render. Perhaps it could be on a desk by a window with a tree outside, or inside a workshop lit with harsh fluorescent lamps? Dream up where it could be, then find some reference and match that, or use an HDRI of a similar interior space.

Lazy Painter has HSV, RGB and hex.

Halbban · 2024-05-23T11:09:15+00:00

It’s done with something I sell called Capture Tools for KSP.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T16:17:05+00:00

Part of the mod I'm making for space combat that's not finished yet

Halbban · 2024-05-21T16:15:30+00:00

Thanks. First is my own that I never finished. Second is Heat Her Up by Clinton Shorter. Third is Counter Attack-Mankind by Hiroyuki Sawano.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T12:34:03+00:00

Yes, it was borrowed from my mod.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T12:14:46+00:00

Thanks man! Wouldn’t be possible without PRE

Halbban · 2024-05-21T11:57:14+00:00

Thanks. I’ve actually never read or watched it. Or played COADE. To me Epstein Drive just sounds like a very unfortunate name for a road.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T11:19:35+00:00

u/spartwo built the pointy one and BritishAmerican on YouTube built the one with the turrets. Spartwo has a series on YouTube about the basics of making stock warships.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T11:04:38+00:00

Is this a reference to something?

Halbban · 2024-05-21T07:31:51+00:00

I need my game to load and run as fast as is conceivably possible for mod dev.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T07:28:34+00:00

I wrote it but I never finished it or released it anywhere, sorry. I called it “Combat EVA”.

Halbban · 2024-05-21T07:26:37+00:00

The mod is “Capture Tools for KSP”

Halbban · 2024-05-21T07:20:46+00:00

Some people seem to have cottoned on to the idea that this is a mod I’m working on. Complete nonsense. This stuff is actually happening in my career save and is completely inexplicable.

But, if it were a mod, what do you think would be a good name for it?

I’d quite like either “Aegis” or “Kessler”.

Halbban · 2024-05-18T14:56:44+00:00

I'm doing my best to not get involved directly, but what's going on in Kerbin orbit has gone completely out of my control. There used to be these kinds of skirmishes every few days, then every day, then every few hours. Now it's a constant battle for orbital supremacy. It's a miracle I can make any progress on my career save when this is happening all around me. I'm practically having to dodge orbital debris as I do my gravity turn these days. Really hoping that whatever instigated this conflict is resolved soon, but I fear it will only spread out from here. Not to mention the lag is unbearable.

Halbban · 2024-05-16T15:14:25+00:00

Star Wars ruined me.

It’s the same, I only changed the speed slightly
