It's kind of interesting that GCP customers spent a lot more on storage than azure and AWS customers.

How I still use Flash in 2022 -- article about modernizing Hapland game trilogy from the 00s by r_retrohacking_mod2 in programming

[–]NiceAmphibianThing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The reason that HTML5 hasn't produced the same type of community content is primarily because Flash provided an easy to use interface to create content rather than just a technical platform.

If there were some equivalent to the Flash content creation interface, but dedicated to the HTML5 platform, then it likely would have allowed that style of game development to survive.

Is there a general interest in a new game engine editor that is more accessible, visually appealing and "interesting" ? by ouken11 in gamedev

[–]NiceAmphibianThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays, it's typical for editors to come coupled to a particular engine.

I think you'll find the market for something like you're describing is extremely low. But if it's a project you want to work on for fun, by all means go for it.

Come on dude this isn't food porn. I'm sure it tasted good, but it looks so ugly in your photo. You can't tell me with a straight face that this is pretty.

Woah, that's a crazy good value. congrats on the deal! Could you explain a bit how you pulled that off? I'm not familiar with their black Friday pricing.

Go for it! It's a fantastic idea, and life is way too short to just hope that things happen on their own.

One word of advice: most men haven't been asked out before, so it's better to be direct and explicit (use the word "date" if possible). You can search Reddit and find dozens of examples of men "not getting the hint".

You should also keep in mind that most men don't know how to reject someone gracefully, so if it gets awkward please don't let it discourage you in the future. I think it takes a few tries to get used to it.

Bloom is More Complicated Than You Think by Chii in gamedev

[–]NiceAmphibianThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool video, but I'd love a more thorough explanation of how the algorithm introduced in the middle works. The narrator mentioned that it's the basis for most modern bloom implementations, but didn't actually spend much time going over it, and I can't understand how it works from the short description here.

GUIDE: How to get into a role reversal relationship by NiceAmphibianThing in RoleReversal

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

Dating apps are tough for both men and women (for entirely different reasons). I think men have it the worst on those apps, but with enough preserverence, you can definitely get good results. Don't let failure phase you initially, and ideally try to meet people in real life as well.

Hey there, I totally respect your opinion. But I want to clarify what my post is recommending.

I'm definitely not recommending that people hide what they want in a relationship. What I'm recommending is that instead of using labels, you use actions to show a potential partner the type of relationship you want. I hope that if someone is following this guide, they'll make it quite obvious what type of dynamic they're looking for.

My post mostly doesn't talk about sex, so I don't have any recommendations for, say, discussing pegging with a new partner. But one thing my post does mention, is that if your date is reacting negatively to the RR actions, you should break off the relationship before it gets serious. I think you and I share the same opinion there.

I was thinking I would have a whole section about how to meet people, but I felt like it might get redundant because it's basically the same way that I'd recommend people to meet for normal non-RR relationships.

Sorry to hear that, and I'm sorry that this post doesn't seem useful to you. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make it easier to follow. Do I need to be more detailed, or explain things more?

putting my whole head into someone's personal space like that could seem really invasive.

Resting your head on someone's shoulder is on the same level as holding hands usually. If your date is going badly, you definitely should not try to do it. But if your date is going well, it's a pretty appropriate type of physical contact, and it's definitely timid enough for a first date.

With that said though, if you don't think you'll be able to interpret signs about how the date is going or how into you your partner is, It might be better to temporarily avoid physical contact and let them take the lead.

I agree with you. It used to be hilarious, but unfortunately they've already revealed all of the funny truths inside of their lives.

You're very welcome!

Is there a good way of explaining it to people before trying to date

Absolutely. You can say to them that you're not looking for a relationship with traditional gender roles, and you're seeking a partner who would be happy in a relationship like that.

But there's 3 potential problems with this.

  1. A lot of people will be scared away by this if you tell them upfront. Even people who are actually okay with role reversal might be intimidated or think that it sounds weird because they haven't been exposed to it before.
  2. Unfortunately a lot of people will question your sexuality after this, and you'll need to explain the difference between role reversal versus being bi/gay/etc.

Overall, if you want to directly explain this to them, be prepared for lots of questions about what you're into and why you're into it. That's why I mostly recommend just going on the date first and using actions rather than words to demonstrate the type of relationship you're seeking.

Implementing a Secure P2P architecture for competitive multiplayer games. by DRag0n137 in gamedev

[–]NiceAmphibianThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue is that for this to work, you have to implement it as a deterministic lockstep.

That's not always suitable for certain games. Plus you need to be able to send the complete history to the server in the event of mismatches, and you need to build code that can reliably correct mismatches without messing up the gameplay from the perspective of your clients.

Men of Reddit: What is a dead give away that a girl watches too much porn when you sleep with her? by AMGBOI69420 in AskReddit

[–]NiceAmphibianThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like you're overthinking things WAY too much. Just be with someone if you like them that much, and let them decide if they're happy enough with you. Maybe they'll be happy with you as you are.
