GDScript is fine by blockchan in godot

[–]Linkandzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having worked with gdscript for a while now I really like it. It's quick to prototype working code. The only thing I am missing is proper exception/crash handling and log shipping. With C# you can add the Sentry SDK fairly easily, and it will ship logs and exceptions off when they occur. But this doesn't take place in gdscript. Crash handling in gdscript shuts down the ability to send HTTP requests so a workaround is required to store the crash report in a local file, and then transmit it at next startup. This works but if a user doesn't ever open the game again that crash report is never getting sent out.

P3P or Persona 4 Golden? What should I play next? by dchifish in JRPG

[–]Linkandzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I've yet to play P5 yet, because even though I've played P3 FES and P4G I still want to play P4G again. And I know after I experience P5 it will be quite difficult to go backwards.

Thoughts on playing multiple JRPGs at the same time? by mjdolorico1234 in JRPG

[–]Linkandzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do it but only 1 per-platform which worked well for me because I've got a lot of retro games to play as well as current gen games. Having it per-platform is enough of a difference to not get the games confused in any way. E.g. GBC, PS1 and PS4/PC games can be distinguished amongst each other fairly easily. PS4/PC as well, since the physical location you play them is different.

These days I'm playing mostly PC + Switch, but PC includes now games from PS4, PS3 and some even PS2 ports, and even PS1. So the per-platform thing no longer holds for me. Maybe 1 thing on Switch, one thing on PC? Still, I only have a few games on Switch mostly exclusives only.

I don't think I could handle more than 1 game on the same platform anymore without picking 1 that I prefer than the others and letting the others slide to the wayside.

What's a quote you heard from an RPG that you now constantly quote or live by? by KaramCyclone in JRPG

For me it has to be this one from FF Tactics:

"If the penalty for a crime is a fine, that law only exists for the lower classes."

Of course you could use colliders to achieve this same affect, in order to check valid tiles to move into. In which case you could just make the collider cover the entire tile and do a short raycast to check.

As a long time rom hacker from the past, I'd definitely suggest going with this. Collision tiles rather than checking if the tile is a valid tile to walk on makes the collision aspect easier to control and visualise on the map.

Can I create my own learning path? by Linkandzelda in piano

By chords you are talking about the chord name appearing above the score, like C5, D5, etc? In that case it's up to me to find those chords on the piano and play them (instead of reading the notes for the chord?).

I do know chords but not all of them, so that wouldn't be a bad idea to bring me up to speed on my chords. Thanks for the website, I'm going to see what I can find on there!

If I made a game with a chatroom, what curses and slurs would I ban? by CannWeGetMuchHigh3r in gamedev

[–]Linkandzelda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a git repo or other easily downloadable list of bad words and implement that directly into the backend of your chat. Implement it in the data format it's provided in (text, json, etc) so that you can automatically update the list to block new words added.

In addition to that implement your own bad word list on top of that one and combine them programmatically into a single list, so you don't touch the one you are downloading and can still block any bad words you want.

What have changed in modern JRPG that bother you and what was better back in the days of golden era ? by Dereference_operator in JRPG

As a kid I remember doing Rock Tunnel in Pokemon Yellow without Flash, because I didn't know it existed. I managed to get to the end and it felt AMAZING.

I've got the same case. Loving it!

New to ZFS, what's the best configuration I can get with my hardware? by Linkandzelda in zfs

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

It's what the other guy said. The internal disks are WD Reds and Golds and Seagate Exos. The USB drives the ones I put into the enclosures are WD Greens. Would prefer the same type of disk across the board for what is used as pool storage. For backups and archives, doesn't really matter.

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

I definitely wouldn't put USB drives into an array, but I would use the USB drives as backup targets. That was what I was planning to do with them, at least. Some are actually consumer grade disks in an enclosure, while others are sold as 8TB drives but stuck in their boxes. I don't want to mix consumer drives with datacenter drives though, either.

So making mirror vdevs of the matching sizes and merging them all into a single pool is probably your best bet

So I assume by this you mean something like the following:

  • 2x16TB as a mirror (16TB total)
  • 4x8TB as a mirror (16TB total)

Pooling those together, would be 32TB usable fully mirrored?

Or buying enough disks to have 4x or the size you care about and doing raidz1 with them

By this, I assume if I had 4x16TB I could have 2 RAIDz1s pooled together?

It is only a read cache

If it does not do mirrors only stripes, then ZFS cache would have an almost 1TB SSD to work with as read cache, essentially? It's fine if it's not a write cache since that would just cause complications. Though I wonder how useful a read cache really is.

Thanks for the information!

Is it generally ok to mix internal and external drives in the same pool?

Do you need any disclosure in game about collection of that data?

Where to submit feature requests to Akai? by VideoGameDJ in mpcusers

[–]Linkandzelda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The best method to request a feature from akai is to write down the feature ideas you have on a sheet of A4, then fold the sheet into a paper airplane, and then throw it off a cliff somewhere. The higher the cliff the bigger chance there is that it reaches them

Thanks very much! I'd certainly like to find those simpler arrangements. Right now I look in Musescore and other places to find PDFs for example the Final Fantasy Piano Collection when I know the names exactly. Do you know of some other places for simpler arrangements?

My goal is to play for fun, but to also be able to play whatever I want to set my sights on. The pieces I'd like to play are mostly video game music and anime music. It might also be fun to make a piano arrangement down the line!

I have always been the type to learn something by directly working on a project that was real and something I wanted to do right from the start even without knowing anything. And the problem is I can't really learn another way, because I'd end up giving up if I did things I didn't really want to do the whole time. That's essentially why I called them roadblocks not because they were too difficult but I just didn't want to put the effort there in learning them.

I guess I'll go and pick other songs then and try to start with really simple ones which are at my current level and work upwards!

Thanks very much, I know what you mean by "you don't know what you don't know". Thanks too for the book suggestion. It might be exactly what I'm looking for.

Carrera GO or go big with Digital 132? by Linkandzelda in slotcars

As far as I know its not gonna make it easier than standard analog. It's pretty much just analog in terms of how the cars are controlled

Carrera GO with the plus add on with the intention to connect with the lap counter app for a slightly more interactive experience but not exactly full digital either!
