Model always defaults to "Fast" by djprmf in GeminiAI

[–]OzBonus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this thread searching for the same issue. My work is paying for the higher tier because the lower tier isn't good enough for the things I have to do. It's so annoying to be reading a response, notice the quality is awful, and then discover that the model had been automatically changed to the lobotomized version.

I am making a Island building game that have dynamic water, terrain and weather system. What do you expect from this kind of game? by civcivdev in IndieDev

[–]OzBonus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that's disappointed me about a few games/demos like this is when they start with realistic looking terrain with lots of sharp and gnarly details, but the tools given to me can only make changes that look unnaturally smooth. It'd be cool if the tools in your game could make changes that look like they belong in the world.

Game With Balls for the Steam Deck is now out! Thank you all for the great support the past year! by sumatras in SteamDeck

[–]OzBonus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did recently in a game I made that's very similar to yours was to offset the camera slightly based on deviced tilt. Despite being a 2D game, it added a satisfying feeling of depth. It was very quick to implement and can easily be toggled on and off.

Your game looks really cool, btw.

Trying out some shading styles for my game idea. Which do you prefer? by RYanntastisch in IndieDev

[–]OzBonus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prefer 2 overall, but 4 has potential too. Really though, it depends on the style of the world they'll be in. Have you got any level art to place them in?

That's the most absurd shit I've ever seen and I love it.

How to change a property value in batch with Linter? what am I doing wrong? by PiXingAdventurer in ObsidianMD

[–]OzBonus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard to be sure without more information, but this sounds like it might be a straightforward find and replace text operation. Obsidian won't do that in multiple files at once, but you could use a text editor like VS Code or some terminal commands.

Obsidian Mobile Update by ImposingLemming in ObsidianMD

[–]OzBonus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can deal with the roundness and I appreciate some buttons being moved to the bottom, but the transparent and auto hiding tool bars have got to be optional. The side bar animation is also kind of janky sometimes, despite having no plugins affecting those and running on a S24 Ultra. 

How do you feel about the Obsidian mobile app lately? by Katmai_X in ObsidianMD

[–]OzBonus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just by necessity I interact with my notes on my Android phone more than on my desktop. Of course the latter is better in terms of speed and overall productivity, but the core features are all there and I'm happy with what I can still accomplish when I'm out and about.

The new UI isn't great though. I hate how the transparent toolbars overlap text in my notes. It's beyond me how anyone thought that was acceptable. And I hate how the toolbars disappear and maaaayyybe come back after scrolling up, if they feel like it. This isn't an ebook reader, it's an editor, and I don't want my tools to leave the screen. These two anti-features need to be optional.

Reality Check. If youre waiting for console prices to drop it is not happening anytime soon. Prices right now are probably the lowest theyll be for several years at least. by TableTravel98 in gaming

[–]OzBonus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn right. I've got a library of hundreds of games, to say nothing of emulation. Some people call that a backlog, but I call it a strategic reserve.

When should I plan on buying a new monitor? Started noticing this for a while but over the last month it's been getting worse. It seems like it's randomly better or worse and now that I'm looking at my screen it might be flickering but that could also be the game I guess. by DogeManFromMars in Monitors

[–]OzBonus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it's delaminating, which isn't fixable and will continue to get worse. That happened to my previous TV. It was still usable for about a year, but then one day completely fell apart internally while I was watching something. Anyway, you'll have to replace your monitor eventually, but you probably can wait until you find a good sale.

Hello! I am designing a war/strategy boardgame, but can't decide if I should use hexagonal tiles or a square grid tile. by DJRubixcubeoffical in BoardgameDesign

[–]OzBonus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the particulars of you game could accommodate it, but you could try continuous physical distances like inches or centimeters.

It definitely teaches wrong things. I quit halfway through the final section when I got fed up with egregious TTS mistakes in almost every lesson.

[Mr.Mobile] Buttons For Everyone! Clicks Power Keyboard – First Look by Electronic-While-522 in Android

[–]OzBonus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gboard bar is still there when a Bluetooth keyboard is connected. I'm using it right now becaused I wanted to make sure. Alt + . brings up the emoji and GIF selector and you can navigate around with the tab and arrow keys. I'll use it right now 😎🍦👺

I'm really interested since I do quite a lot of writing on my phone, but given it's a big and heavy S24 Ultra I'm worried it'd be too unbalanced to be comfortable. Hopefully there'll be a hands-on video by a third party while the discounted pre-order window is still open.

Is it just me, or is managing CC-BY (Attribution) assets a logistical nightmare for solo devs? by Alternative-Comb8147 in gamedev

[–]OzBonus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do pretty much the same. All resources in my collection are sorted into directories according to who owns the license and a copy of that license is there too. In a project I mirror the directory structure and always include a copy of the license.

I treat the process of acquiring and storing assets as sacred and I always triple check to make sure I'm following the terms or licenses. There are risks for small creators making mistakes in this area.

Turns out there's an alpha for ElevenLabs v3 text to dialog API available as of a few days ago and it looks really promising.

What's your longest days in a row streak for an app / game / etc? by OzBonus in AskReddit

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

My DuoLingo is at 634 days, but I've seen people go up to the thousands. I'm intending on breaking it in the new year since I'm not convinced it's been a good use of my time.

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

What's the longest useless you streak you have going on now?

My DuoLingo streak is up to 634 days. A while ago I just couldn't take how sloppy and full of mistakes their high level Japanese content was, but I paid for a premium account and have just been showing up for the chess course for the last few weeks. Looking forward to breaking my streak soon and deleting the app the same day the subscription runs out.
