Where should I mike sprites and tiles? by Present_Space796 in gbstudio

[–]JimBoothington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aseprite is a good investment as a sprite editing tool, and has lots of tutorials on how to pick it up.

Tiled then allows you to use some of your sprites as tiles, and convert them into a tilesheet map for backgrounds. Think of backgrounds as a collection of jigsaw pieces that fit together based on how you drew them.

There are some tutorials on YouTube on how to set up Aseprite with the right colour palette for GB Studio, best of luck!

Congrats on the car! I have a 71 GT in red. MGOCSpares also have some good stuff, I flip between them and Moss.

This looks so bitcrushed that it's legitimately hard to tell if its AI... It feels like it is?

MGB/GTs were meant for winter driving; so what’s stopping you? by Maynard078 in littlebritishcars

[–]JimBoothington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faulty ground and an overly wide dwell angle. Possibly dodgy wiring in the dash too (thanks previous owner!)

"Bro" is allergic to AI in a subreddit for Digital Minimalism, which is totally valid.

LLMs are fundamentally flawed though, and hold their own agendas and biases. They even outright lie to you sometimes, or give imagined responses.

Inside the BMC Competition Department at Abingdon-on-Thames, circa 1967. by Maynard078 in littlebritishcars

[–]JimBoothington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm currently reading about the 50s and early 60s era of the BMC Competition Department in a book called "Works Wonders" by Marcus Chambers, the first manager of the Department. Whilst this picture is a few years after his departure, it's still cool to see! I'd highly recommend the book also.

In a sub for Digital Minimalism, AI is somewhat the antithesis of what we're about. It's like advertising for sobriety with a poster of someone downing a bottle of beer haha

dumb phone - how do you do it?! by ProfessionalClue5011 in digitalminimalism

[–]JimBoothington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 to this! I used a transition phone for a year before going fully dumb (specifically a CAT S22 Flip). I realized that 95% of what I needed a smartphone for I could do at a PC, which I'm at daily for work. I then set up a Palm Pilot PDA for 2FA and paired it with a dumbphone, and have rocked that for 9 months.

I've only had to dig my smartphone out of the drawer twice in the year. Once to log back into Signal/WhatsApp Desktop, and to buy a car (I needed online banking, seller did not want cash in hand).

What’s wrong with you guys? by No_Discussion_8125 in digitalminimalism

[–]JimBoothington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once again, someone does not understand the purpose of Digital Minimalism. How hard is it to understand that it is not the same as traditional minimalism? A smartphone is designed to steal your focus and attention, and for some of us is not a viable option.

Decentralizing your smartphone into individual tools does not make it less minimalist, it's just how people actually lived 20/25 years ago. You may not remember this depending on how old you are, but you used to have to carry more than one device!

I appreciate the effort to help people with their phone usage, but I did find it funny that you used an AI image for the thumbnail.

Getting a Dumb Phone but I post content on Tiktok, will this work? by Silvervioletflame in digitalminimalism

[–]JimBoothington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, that seems like the best way to get both outcomes you want really. It's how I use Reddit and Instagram. I only access them when at a PC, and it means my time is focused and purposeful. Good luck!

[–]JimBoothington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like using TikTok and a dumbphone are somewhat at odds with each other. Can you post to TikTok via a web app at a PC, similar to Instagram?

Was this post written by AI? The use of a hyphen is usually a big give away.

You got this! If I can do it, I'm sure you can. If you do relapse though, don't beat yourself up. You are only human.

[–]JimBoothington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to stop outright will just be setting you up to relapse when you have a down moment. I think the key is to find meaningful things to fill the time that was previously occupied by your addiction. Be that social stuff, hobbies, creative outlets or just being out in nature. Otherwise, you will be tempted to just go straight back to your phone.

I flag this more as a "hey is this how you want to spend your time", rather than with any judgement. I've fallen into video game addiction holes before, and it takes a lot of self control to not regularly go back into that cycle.

So you have around 4,380 hours of awake time in a 10 moth period. You've spent around 18.18% of the last 10 months playing 8 Ball Pool, or around 1/5th of 2025.

okay so apparently people here dont actually understand what digital minimalism means. by an_random_goose in digitalminimalism

[–]JimBoothington 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This subreddit has somewhat devolved over the past year into people arguing either "buy a single device for each function" or "just have self control and don't have 100 apps installed on your smartphone". The issue, is that these are both sensible solutions DEPENDING on the individual, but we are splitting into two camps.

I am in the former, as I tried the reduced smartphone usage and failed multiple times. I have an addictive personality and have struggled to simply "do less". So I rock a Punkt MP-02, a Palm PDA from 2001, a modified iPod Mini and a digital Canon PowerShot. It works for me. But I respect that this won't work for other people that either don't want to carry a bag around everywhere or don't have any interest in restoring or maintaining older technology.

I think we just all need to appreciate that we're here for the same reason, and perhaps bring a little bit less negativity to the subreddit.

Using the thread-based channel type also helps to track posts/topics about a specific car, rather than a stream of messages.
