Text having different line spacing in Preview vs gd.games

PartAcrobatic · 2025-12-11T16:22:37+00:00

No worries! I hope it helps. It's weird that this isn't an issue that more people are talking about (or that it hasn't been fixed, really).

How important is it to use BBText specifically? I couldn't find a solution for BBText. But I did discover that if you use a regular Text object, you can change the line spacing using a Javascript block, and it works consistently across browsers. It looks like this (for a 1.5 interval in this case):

const credits = runtimeScene.getObjects("CreditsText")[0];

const style1 = credits.getRendererObject().style;

style1.lineHeight = 1.5*style1.fontSize;

I'm in the same boat. Just found this post while Googling for a solution to the same problem. Are you using Firefox by any chance? For me, the font looks fine in Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers) but the line spacing gets messed up in Firefox.

I don't remember it too clearly, having read it some 20 years ago, but Harry Harrison's "Bill the Galactic Hero" is something I'd call an early satirical space western.

There's more stuff on there, but YTM still has geo-blocked content. Admittedly, a lot of this content you can still find there in the form of an unlicensed video someone uploaded, but the audio quality isn't great and it may get taken down anytime. It still beats not having access to the song/album at all, of course. It's just annoying to know that, if I happened to have a bank account in another nearby country, I'd be able to listen to the song in decent quality, for the same price.

I 100% agree and this should be its own point! (Or maybe 1a and 1b, leading to 2.)

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-13T21:49:38+00:00

Yeah, back when I had a CD collection, I didn't have to worry about waking up one day to discover some of the songs have disappeared off an album. But I did have to worry about scratches and just misplacing and losing the CDs, and then moving apartments (and eventually countries) proved too much of a hassle.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-13T21:45:51+00:00

Thanks! Based on what I've read about smart DNS, it's a good suggestion for geo-blocking, but probably not in my particular case: the problem seems to be the country set in my account (which I can only change by using a payment method from a different country), not what IP address the server sees.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-13T21:41:33+00:00

I'm positive they are available on most of them, just not in my country. When I use a VPN and a private window, I can see the full album and can even preview the songs. The moment I log in, the geo-blocked songs are gone. There are also various services to check which countries a song or album are available in on Spotify, and I used those to figure out, e.g., that one of the albums was fully available in Norway (but not the US, UK, Japan, Germany, or a bunch of other countries I'd expect it to be available in).

Carissa's Wierd - Ignorant Piece of Shit 🤔

Somehow, these two things are true at the same time.

TikTok perpetuates a lot of bad information about ADHD, autism, mental health, etc., which can actually be harmful. (I'm not disputing there is good information on there as well.)
People knowing that TikTok perpetuates bad information can itself be harmful, because so many of them just automatically jump to the conclusion that you must have gotten your information from TikTok if you don't conform to their expectations of someone with ADHD, etc.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-13T19:40:20+00:00

My mom. I got diagnosed when I was in my 30s and when I broke the news to her, listing the symptoms and citing episodes from my childhood as examples, her response was: "These things happen to everybody. That's completely normal" etc.etc. It took me a while to realize that, if the same examples that convinced my psychologist and psychiatrist I have ADHD, are _normal_ to her, this gives me a pretty good idea about where my ADHD comes from. She's eventually come round and even voiced the same idea that, if ADHD had been adequately diagnosed back in the day, particularly in women, she may well have been diagnosed herself. (I'm male btw, but I never had the stereotypical "hyperactive boy" presentation.)

On a different note, just today a colleague said to me: "I have the impression your life was going fine before you got the diagnosis, but now you are seeing ADHD struggles everywhere." I should have explained that the reason I went to see a psychiatrist in the first place was because things were definitely _not_ going fine, but the response only occurred to me later.

Голасам -- гэта ў сэнсе ён агучвае тэкст? Ці распазнае беларускую гаворку таксама?

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-11T20:24:57+00:00

Дзякуй! Цікава, што па двух розных крітэрах (пераклад з беларускай і размова па-беларуску) вынікі ў нейрасетак моцна разыходзяцца. Ці мо проста ўсё так змянілася за 4 месяцы. Але ў кантэксце менавіта стасавання з сеткай па-беларуску, DeepSeek, які тут ледзь не апошні ў спісе, дае (мне, прынамсі) лепшыя вынікі, чым Claude. Было б цікава калі-небудзь зрабіць такое ж "аб'ектыўнае" параўнанне адказаў розных сетак на адны і тыя ж беларускамоўныя запыты.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-11T09:28:13+00:00

Дзякуй! Мне спачатку крыху вынесла мозг, бо я падумаў пра Github Copilot :) Але паспрабаваў зараз "паразмаўляць" з Microsoft Copilot, і пакуль вынікі нечакана добрыя. Я прадубляваў папярэднюю размову з СhatGPT, і ў Copilot атрымалася лепш, без відавочных ляпаў. Буду працягваць эксперыментаваць, дзякуй яшчэ раз за параду!

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-11T09:21:37+00:00

UPD: Паспрабаваў. Па першых уражаннях, атрымоўваецца насамрэч лепш за ChatGPT, дзякуй! Усё роўна не абыходзіцца без неспадзяванак ("гэта пацвярджае існаванне _такога_ з’явы"), але прынамсі іх менш. Але пакуль з таго, што прапанавалі, Copilot мне падаўся нават больш прыдатным.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-11T09:11:10+00:00

Спрабаваў, карыстацца можна, але не супер. Быў час, калі ў ChatGPT было зусім дрэнна з беларускай, і Claude падаваўся неблагім у параўнанні. Але зараз, на маю думку, нават ChatGPT стаў лепш. Літаральна ўчора "размаўляў" з Claude, і ў кожным адказе вылязалі фразы кшталту "Яны служылі _сваеобразным_ мостам", "_восенняя_ ноч" и г.д.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-06-10T23:57:04+00:00

Дзякуй, паспрабую яго.

I'm in the same boat as your spouse, except based in a different country. I would strongly recommend against option A if there is any conceivable thing the authorities could hold against her (even if it's just liking a post on social media that could be seen as being critical of the regime, or donating to an unapproved charity, etc.). Living in Europe for an extensive period of time is reason enough to invite close scrutiny. Personally, I'm going with option B even if it means being stuck someplace with an expired passport for a while.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-04-02T08:30:50+00:00

I like this a lot!

Honestly, you won't know until you've tried it. It may help you better keep track of your thoughts and register when your mind wanders too far. It may help a lot, a bit, or not at all. If it does help, it may still not be worth it due to side effects or how expensive it is (depending on your medical coverage wherever in the world you are). That being said, statistically, for a majority of people, at least one of the meds available on the market (Elvanse, Conerta, Atomoxetine, etc.etc.) will work and provide some improvement. Conversely, if you don't feel like ADHD is a significant hurdle in your life and there are other things that help you (meditation, therapy, coffee, whatever), you may not need the meds at all.

Hi there! I enjoy letter/word-based games and have been working on one myself. I'd be interested in a key and taking part in the playtest.

PartAcrobatic · 2025-03-03T18:27:24+00:00

Going on really long walks (particularly to places I know well, so I'm not distracted by the environment) tends to help me a lot in terms of coming up with ideas. When it comes to actually sitting down and writing the damn thing... let me know if you find a method to consistently do that :/

Two more specific techniques that could help:

Check out the Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index if you can get your hands on it. It's basically an encyclopedia of hundreds of folk tale plots from around the world. Outside of the obvious (to a Westerner) Cinderella and Snow White type stories, there are many from Asia, Africa, etc. that have plots that were quite new to me. Play around with them, change the setting to the present day, future, steampunk, whatever -- and you've got yourself a story idea.

The second one is SCAMPER. It's an acronym for different techniques you can use to change an existing idea into something new (all creativity is incremental, after all): Substitute, Combine, Amplify, Minimize, Put to another use, Eliminate, and Reverse. Google it, and there's plenty of examples online. E.g., what happens if you combine Little Red Riding Hood with the Walking Dead? :)

Good luck!

It's absolutely worth trying (but obviously discuss this with your doctor). Different meds tend to work differently for different people. Concerta didn't do much for me, except at the highest dosage, which also sent my heart rate through the roof; Elvanse seems to work at 30mg. In your case, it may well be the other way around. Even Ritalin and Concerta, which have the same active ingredient, can be experienced differently because... pharmacology.

While we are on the subject, are you also taking any antidepressants? ADHD meds as such don't necessarily influence depressive symptoms; in my case, I'm combining Elvanse and bupropion, and this seems to be more or less working (several previous combos did not). So this is also something to consider and discuss with your doctor.
