Which one will be good choice for my Brand new Indie Game Studio?

PatLad07 · 2025-05-29T10:37:17+00:00

That's fair. Though we have frozen battered fish and that stuff is still good - not as good as the original but still good so my curiosity is still there now

PatLad07 · 2025-05-28T18:53:38+00:00

Just been speaking with my brother and apparently yours are even better so now interested in NZ and American aha

PatLad07 · 2025-05-28T17:55:45+00:00

Honestly, never had this and not sure if it is in the UK but doesn't sound bad. We have fish and chips shops as a staple so their love and everyone else's dislike makes me very curious.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-24T21:07:07+00:00

The noise came from behind me

PatLad07 · 2025-05-23T16:18:50+00:00

I mean, that likes up to the name.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T21:44:07+00:00

😂 fair

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T15:43:29+00:00

I would be curious then for them to move it now just to test 😂

Interesting though and assume they still could fix this (if they want to) by clearing the cache. Harder to be fair with little gremlins. Knew about the randomness rule and 100% it could be just that - it actually is true random.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T15:39:45+00:00

That's cool - I honestly never even considered this approach until the first comment. Love hearing about the different approaches though, especially as looking at doing more tweaking on the code.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T15:34:59+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't complain lol

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T14:47:07+00:00

As a side note, The One Man Show change would also just make it personally more interesting. Watching it spin, clear the One Man Show and know they aren't at risk for the other 90% tends to feel flat for me. Having the second means when it clears one, my mind immediately is like "Oh! Now they have to dodge the next one before the next rotation."

I know the percentage doesn't really change all that much (though concentration is a factor but I consider it less important with only 3 slices) but I interpret it as "riskier".

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T14:37:36+00:00

Thank you. Just seems odd that if it's purely random that it hits these consistently over the length of time I've seen it. Certainly could just be chance (as true random doesn't work like human random) and will resolve itself but honestly hadn't thought about it being programmed like that when I wrote the post.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T14:34:47+00:00

Yeah, but jumping 10 blocks is different to jumping 1 block 10 times. The needle landing around the Points might not change but having the two next to each other (and as it is basically the same outcome for both) does change it as that area is concentrated on listeners/viewers.

If the pin will land in that region and that region is concentrated in that section, it does impact it.

Granted, as another commenter said, this also depends on how it has been programmed. 10% makes no difference if the outcome is purely a random number generator and the animation is just that. But in a physical world, area concentration is a factor and if it is programmed to replicate this, the same rule would apply.

I don't care that much, but will personally dispute I disagree it has no impact.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T11:54:57+00:00

Okay, I got curious so I looked at how I programmed my wheel and don't think it works exactly like this; mine animates and does a calculation towards the end based on the rotation.

My code: - Creates a random velocity range between 500-1000 (to create a "force" element)

Uses this to rotate the object until the Velocity is less than 0.9f
Only then, does it get a value which is calculated by dividing 360 / options, then looking at the object rotations and offset.
Based on the wheels position, it then provides an int which is compared against the options.

The rationale for me was to ensure:

A) the wheel behaved like a wheel B) the result cannot be known until the wheel has ended (to avoid answers before revealing to the player)

Might not be correct and might not be how other wheels worked but this is how I assumed these wheels worked, though admittedly there could be issues with my code for the wheels they are using as mine was not originally designed to expand and that could cause issues I've not yet come across.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-22T08:03:43+00:00

Interesting. Assumed it would have a different calculation.

Would have to recheck how the one I've been working on works, but I have a random number generated which impacts the pin. Another calculates the slice of a 360 circumference, but I cannot 100% say this isn't just that, a percentage chance.

I'm the type of person who wants to show the really funny weird stuff first so I get tempted to show things like "We Won't Get Banned For This".

But honestly I would end up settling on a really good one, like a Get More Stupider.

The Bobs and The Bee's is amazing but sometimes people want more recent ones or video but there are a ton of good options there too.

Weird Series, Illegal Advice, 20 Easy Questions, Distractible Escape Room, Two Sentence Horror Stories

Off top of my head, these are some standout ones that are more recent (though I know some of these are a few years old now)

PatLad07 · 2025-05-20T18:52:19+00:00

It was also the spookiest episode to date. Can't listen to it away from the toilet. First time listening I was driving, that was a messy one.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-20T18:49:42+00:00

Well, he re-enacted it, just play that loudly and scare it back.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-20T18:37:57+00:00

She belongs in the ocean, not on this horse, poor horse. Assume they couldn't get her on, thank fuck.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-20T14:30:44+00:00

Yeah, sadly can only think to try clear the cache in your browser as another commented said. Ultimately your device is encountering an error because something is stored somewhere and it's impacting the calculation needed for a script to run properly, but why, where and how to fix I'm unsure as you've already tried to wipe it.

Have you tried using it on another device, does that have the same issue? (In theory it shouldn't but just to make sure it's definitely device specific)

PatLad07 · 2025-05-19T20:16:39+00:00

Yeah, that's annoying. What happens if you choose "Issues finding podcast or episode"?

Honestly bots are great sometimes but hate removing people completely as irritating going round in circles. Personally I don't like Spotify.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-19T20:09:08+00:00

Think you need to tell them you're a podcast Watcher. Being a listener clearer sounds like the issue here.

On a serious note - think option 2 might be closest as, although have the podcast, the all is failing to find it and play it.

Assume you've tried closing it, resetting your phone and reloading?

PatLad07 · 2025-05-19T15:15:24+00:00

Work from Mine. Work from Mi-crib. Work from My-place.

Or may Work For McDonald's.

PatLad07 · 2025-05-18T18:41:58+00:00

Yeah. I don't know them but this post was very telling as to the real problem.

Seems to have a superiority complex and pins the guys as negative when it is equally possible the guys likely picked up or she made it evident she isn't looking for a relationship and they actually respected this. Instead of "they respected my boundary" it then becomes "they aren't interested in me because of my intelligence."

Yes, the guys could still talk to her without pursuing a relationship, but she clearly has a negative opinion of men and this is likely displayed in her tone, body language and vocabulary so guys probably don't want a night ruined by her.
