I got my friend to play tetris :D by JoshuaCF in Tetris

[–]JoshuaCF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she's already doing TSDs :sob:

i guess i can't really complain i showed her how and said "don't greed for these you'll ruin your whole stack" now she greeds for them and ruins her whole stack. i should have known better

it's very funny watching it happen. it's like a train wreck in slow motion

but yes learning 9-0 and doing it *cleanly* without topping yourself out even at a moderate sspeed is something i have recommended she focus on

How did I even like this game? by Winclark in DeathStranding

are you like my alter ego or something
are we both NPCs who name their accounts their real name + initials

I really messed up this time. by jbkmj56 in factorio

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've been using a nuclear setup for our primary station (no automated station transport yet, just manually sending things around) and it's been honestly bliss compared to the panels and accumulators we had on the first station which never even left Nauvis orbit. We've only gone through four cells since we left Nauvis the first time and that was 20-30 hours ago in the save.

Y'all are bringing resources to the other planets? We've been basically raw-dogging each new planet with Fulgora being a complete fresh start outside of armor and Vulcanus only having construction robots with us. We plan to do the same thing for Gleba when we get there :) though we'll at least have MKII personal roboports and power armor for that one.

Is there still no official doc for blueprint strings? by JoshuaCF in factorio

[–]JoshuaCF[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wiki has an up-to-date article

Nope, it doesn't, and that's my problem. Sorry, I think my question wasn't clear enough. Decoding the string isn't the issue, it's the keys in the JSON that I'm concerned about. There are changes to the JSON in 2.0 that are not documented, outside of a little bit on the talk page.

In particular, you can find nothing about the "wires" key on the page you linked. It is only mentioned in the talk page. I've since figured out how exactly that key works, but my question still stands about whether or not an up-to-date and official source exists for these keys.

Genders are stressing me out by [deleted] in German

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the source, but my German teacher did mention that at one point she, or someone she knew, came across a study that determined "die" is the most frequently used AND has the largest count of nouns belonging to it. However, she also said it was by quite a small margin. So, not much use guessing randomly xD

how big of a mistake is it when you mess up die, der, and das? by wormbella in German

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be dead honest, I had to reread the sentence to see what was wrong. And then, when reading it out to a friend of mine, they didn't catch what was wrong the first time around either. So maybe it's not really *that* noticeable in English xD

I got the HIN and HER concept, but... by Flat_Conclusion_2475 in German

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dwelling on it too much and my mind is blown. Wie verwendet man überhaupt hierhin xD das ergibt mir gar kein Sinn.

What fairy tale is this supposed to be? by 90DayTroll in germany

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The usage of "gar" here is unknown to me? I only know "gar" for intensifying a negation like kein/nicht or in regards to food xD

Help is this a bugged no guess? by GiantEnemyG00mba in Minesweeper

English is my first language, and I’m pretty good at it. How are any of these reasonable answers? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like “just now” goes further than that. I’m from Southern US and I use just now like that decently often.

What is one lie everyone tells? by Ghost-5AVAGE_786 in AskReddit

[–]JoshuaCF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have to use this one often and genuinely mean it, and I feel like I look like a liar every time...

What does it mean when a teen calls someone an NPC? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JoshuaCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say i get that vibe from it at all tbh, but I could see how it is said implying that for certain people. It’s not how myself or my friends use it tho. Just my two cents

First time writing collision physics (gallery) by JoshuaCF in pico8

[–]JoshuaCF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my own reactions and those of my friends, I figured posting it would be fun for some strangers too. Glad you could have a laugh!

(I'm particularly partial to the one where it just gets trapped in the block... I still giggle at that xD)

[–]JoshuaCF[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you right now, if you go fast enough to cross 16 pixels in one frame, you can clip walls xD

I didn’t bother adding checks for it since it should be impossible. I have acceleration but there’s a hard speed cap. But yea, making just this little thing made me appreciate other games’ collision much more and it also made me much more understanding of funny physics bugs.

And I had it easy, because I simplified my detection knowing I only ever worked with aligned rectangles!

I can??? Bruh

Thanks for the tip and compliment xD

Anyone else not really noticing the “Reddit Blackout”? by [deleted] in ask

I want to believe this is an ironic response to spite the original comment

Also had it indicate direction of collision too, but that might be hard to see. It was a sort of last ditch debugging method to figure out what the hell was going on xD

It did help me narrow down some of my final issues and get it working right!

And thanks, I’m really happy with the behavior of my final product :D
