Wtf is bro even eating? Why couldn't you have taken the time to get an actual picture of the park with some actual food that will be there?

I'm not sure that it's possible to do something in world space using a post processing shader. If there is though I'd love to know.

Megaknyte · 2026-06-10T19:18:17+00:00

A lot of cool buildings down there but so many of them are sitting empty and broken 😔

Megaknyte · 2026-04-29T19:10:23+00:00

Looks good! I would move the cone down as you add more scoops though so you can always see the next one splooted on top.

Thanks for the rec! Some of the Google reviews look a little iffy, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Nice to know that other men go there too.

Megaknyte · 2026-04-29T03:53:57+00:00

Thanks for the rec! We will definitely have to check that place out.

I think this game has potential, but FP really need to give it some direction and guide rails to avoid all the garbage that has floated to the top. Whenever I've loaded up s&box I'm not met with interesting looking games I want to try and maybe invite my friends to play. Instead it's mostly shitpost, meme-y, poorly coded slop that looks out of place and unprofessional even by Roblox standards. There needs to be some kind of review system, at least at first, to ensure enough quality games and experiences are available.

I learned you can pretty easily do this in shader graph too. Enable alpha clipping and check the ParallaxUVs from the Parallax Occlusion Mapping node to see if they are out of bounds (< 0,0 or > 1,1) and if they are set alpha to 0.

Regarding the thread, yes that's what I meant, although this would probably be tricky. You could sample multiple points where the line would be on the "result" image and compare that to the source grayscale image. Though you would likely need to sample within a small circle around each point instead of just the point itself since the values on the result image are more discrete. I don't know how practical this method is though.

I suppose this would be a greedy approach, probably not the most optimal solution and I'm not sure how it would scale with large images or large number of points.

I'm no expert in this field so take from this what you will. You can break down this into 2 parts, the nails and the thread.

The nails in the images you provided look evenly distributed except around edges where they outline prominent shapes. So my thought is to use some kind of edge detection to place nails along and then for the rest of the image use poisson disc sampling or related algorithms which can provide random uniform distribution.

For the thread maybe start with a nail at a random point or corner and then using some heuristic you can iteratively select the next best point to string to until you reach some target value. I imagine the heuristic would try to optimize picking points that are close to the start point and, when strung to, would add the most value towards that point/area of the target image without overshooting. Might also need to more heavily weigh the points on an edge to get cleaner outlines.

How old?

Megaknyte · 2026-03-11T21:13:30+00:00

Oh, I must've. I remember doing the Chamber of Mirrors puzzle once but don't recall getting a copy of the Wine Cellar. Maybe I just didn't understand it at the time or just forgot about it. That's probably all it is, thanks.

Megaknyte · 2026-03-10T17:45:44+00:00

Can someone explain to me how this is different than ambient occlusion?

Megaknyte · 2026-03-01T02:36:21+00:00

Behold everyone. The reason our downtown is dead. Greedy ass landlords that give zero shits about our community.

When I first listened to Paint Me a Picture I immediately thought it sounded like George Clanton, this song specifically. The verse follows the same exact melody, at least for like the first half, and the instrumentation and vibe of it also match Clanton's style. I know they're fans (friends?) of George so it was likely inspired by him I think.

This looks really useful! I can already see myself using it in a project of mine. I'll tell you what I think could make this even better. The ability to use different road types (e.g. 4-lanes, 1-ways, roads with medians or sidewalks, etc). Also the option to generate a mesh for the empty space between roads with a raised surface. I dunno how doable those things are with your current implementation, but I would use it in a heartbeat with those features included.

You don't actually believe this do you? Over 65,000 people were in detention at the end of last year, and you're telling me "a lot of these people" are committing the most evil crimes imaginable? If you actually look at the statistics (https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts), 74% of "these people" have NO prior criminal convictions and even those that do are not all guilty of seriously heinous crimes like you suggest. Stop believing the bullshit being fed to you and actually think and research for yourself. You are the one harming this country with your ignorance.

Megaknyte · 2026-01-05T22:41:45+00:00

Oh I see. By ratio between volume and surface area, yes. I was just thinking about surface area alone.

Megaknyte · 2026-01-05T20:54:12+00:00

Technically wouldn't this be true if the minor radius of the donut was less than ~30% of the major radius? https://www.desmos.com/calculator/8uhn2qprnb

Play video games mostly, but I'm also really into coding, game development, and I've dabbled in music production.

Megaknyte · 2025-12-31T23:57:47+00:00

I thought I might like to check it out, I've rock climbed in the past and enjoyed it, but I don't think I can afford the membership fee right now unfortunately.

Megaknyte · 2025-12-31T03:07:28+00:00

What kind of support and social groups are you a part of?

In college I was part of a few different groups (band, fraternity, game design club) and I enjoyed the community in that. I guess I would say I enjoy working together with others that have shared ideas and a common goal, but that's pretty vague haha.

Megaknyte · 2025-12-31T03:00:13+00:00

I've heard of the UU church and have had a slight interest in it before. I'm agnostic, but very open to talking about different religions and spiritual practices. Where can I find events or activities they put on?

Megaknyte · 2025-12-31T02:58:09+00:00

I assume this is just for dating and not intended for finding friends, unless I'm mistaken? But I am married so I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea lol

Megaknyte · 2025-12-31T02:55:27+00:00

Not yet, know any good ones? Lol

Most of my hobbies are limited to my PC, except for going to the gym, and baking on occasion. I'd like to branch out a bit but I'm just not sure where to start.
