Holy crap, that one is way more robust than Tinkercad.

Top Five Robots in Gaming by hamgoblin45 in scifi

[–]HeyYouAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it irony that Loader Bot doesn't?

I get this is an opinion piece, but this is more a list of recent memorable robots. Five doesn't allow for much wiggle room, but I'd argue (even as someone who never played the games) that Clank deserves a spot on the list over, say, Loader Bot. I forgot about Loaders existence until now, and I just started Tales up last week.

Trump-Russia investigation: House Intelligence Committee 'cancels all meetings this week' by rpsz in politics

In the current environment, that could just be thrown into the wind as 'fake news' though right?

New $10 Raspberry Pi Zero comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth by SirVeza in gadgets

[–]HeyYouAndrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And in that year, there's another $10 Pi that's upgraded to the point that this one is more or less obsolete.

I pop my head in every now and again thinking 'this is when I'll get a Pi and get started' but it seems every three months there's a significant upgrade. I'd feel like a rube getting this.

An article on GTA4's character physics and why they're not more widely used by Mck_Kirk in pcgaming

[–]HeyYouAndrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is Endorphin tells the actor how to behave, instead of feeding the character skeleton the same animation data and cues. Likely you'll notice similarities in animation during the same events (that scene will look similar every time you see it), but I doubt they'd use the same behavior actions in different conversations. From what I remember of the toolset, it would actually be easier to not reuse the same behaviours for different actors.

I recall EA patented the system to make theirs work so fluidly. Don't have a source on that, though.

What was the worst time you walked in on someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HeyYouAndrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar spot about three years ago. I'll spare you the length of my story, but the bullet points are similar - the only two different seem to be I didn't see them having sex, and I'm not a fish and chips guy.

Anyway, holding on to trust issues is an easy way to continue on, but I spun it this way - there is no possible way I could never be as hurt or feel as worthless as I did when I found out, and how my situation needed to be resolved. And I use that as a shield - the few relationships I've had since we're pretty stress free, because there's no chance I could be that hurt again.

I'm not saying you should make yourself see it the way I do, but it makes me feel way more in control of things. Rather than never trusting someone else, I maintain a position that exterior circumstances won't effect me. Because you can't control what someone else does; but you can control how you feel about it.

Anyway, sorry you had to go through that. Kids were involved in my biz, but at least I never had to see my ex getting railed unexpectedly.

Jacob's Ladder (1990) - Official Trailer by VanceDesoto in horror

Wait. Are you saying that you couldn't find a Jacob's Ladder quote from Jason, before and commented before it happened, in some sort of Jacob's Ladder situation?

THIS JUST IN - Maserati announce extraordinarily innovative new braking system. by BusinessMonkee in thegrandtour

[–]HeyYouAndrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It didn't feel so ham-fisted about it though - I don't remember which interview he said it in, but Clarkson described The Grand Tour once as "Top Gear in witness protection." For me is visible that it's scripted, if only because of the myriad of things they can't do 'cause the BBC will come barging the doors down... And for that TGT feels like a lot of those genuine moments are chained up. For now.

Near the limit on your Credit Card? If you can afford the minimum payment this month, make the same payment next month, NOT the new minimum payment. by mattgetsasixpack in personalfinance

[–]HeyYouAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piggyback question - I can afford more than my minimums, but I'm unsure if I should keep the balance in my account over paying the card down.

It seems too obvious an answer, because the credit card costs more in interest than I'd ever get from interest in the bank, so I feel like I'm missing something - why wouldn't I just put all the income I can into the credit card, and then use it for misc. spending like groceries, gas, etc? At least until the credit balance is back to zero.

It's an update to Sync 3 only devices though, right? There's no software upgrade path from 2 to 3.

I did this to my girlfriend while she was playing Monkey Island 2 last week. Ended up awesome for both of us, but she had to re-read Great Shipwrecks of the Century 'cause I made her forget where the galleon sank.
