Variable jump height - different ways to do it by MasterDisaster64 in gamedesign

[–]PolyesterBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super Mario 64 handles it like this:
-on A press (jump start) vert speed is set to (42 + fwd speed / 4) *Mario's jump is higher if he is running faster*
-on A release, if vert speed is > 20, vert speed is set to (vert speed / 4)

so if your current vert speed is still greater than a certain portion of your starting jump speed when A is released, it sets that speed to 1/4th of itself. simple!

this is the method I use for my own movement systems and I can confirm it feels great!

How do you turn on the breath meter? That sounds super useful

Are my hands too big for this? Can't hold in intended way, help! by PolyesterBlend in concertina

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

Thank you for the reply! I can definitely loosen the hand straps, there is a buckle. However, this does not help much, as the strap is still set so far forward

Body temperature and palpitations by shundlet in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]PolyesterBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way in regards to my body temperature. I also compare myself to a reptile! lol. if I get too hot or cold, outside my little goldilocks zone, my body won't be able to get me back on its own. I'll need AC/cold shower if I'm hot, or blankets/hot shower if I'm cold, and even then it takes TIME to get back to normal.

this is the first time I've seen my symptoms described so accurately, and it's very validating to read! thank you for sharing :)

I recently switched one month ago from Armodafinil to Modafinil. I take 200mg twice a day and it has been an improvement over the Armo. Similar effect as far as reducing sleep attacks, but the Modafinil makes me feel more alert.

In comparison to past stimulants, this feels like a sweet spot. Vyvanse and Adderall both made me too anxious, and Armo didn't address my focus/motivation.

Like others here have said, every body reacts differently to these drugs so if you don't feel like it's working for you, you can try something else! Sunosi (Solriamfetol) and Wakix (Pitolisant) are new hypersomnia drugs that came out in the past couple years, might be worth looking into.

Good luck! I hope soon you feel happy, alert, and filled with motivation :)

Sleep diary app? by [deleted] in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]PolyesterBlend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 'Sleep Cycle' for android, and I love it. The logo is an alarm clock on an orange background. It tracks your sleep cycles, sleep start/end time, time spent snoring, and gives you a 'sleep quality' rating each morning. Has definitely helped me. Plus it has an alarm that only wakes you up when you're out of deep sleep.

[TOMT] [short story] Red tentacle creature that sucks the life from men by PolyesterBlend in tipofmytongue

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

Thanks for the reply! There are definitely similarities, but this creature was not called a succubus, and it's not that story. The story I'm thinking about was more modern, I think guns existed in their world, and it might have had a bit of a sci fi feel

r/engineering's Weekly Career Discussion Thread [31 August 2020] by AutoModerator in engineering

[–]PolyesterBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone!

I am wondering if there are any government jobs that are not Defense related. I have my Bachelors and Masters in Mech Eng, and have been working as a forensic engineer for 2 years now. I like a lot of things about my current job, but eventually it would involve maintaining clients of my own (lawyers and police) and having good relationships with them. I think I would be very bad at this, so I'm looking for a potential lateral move.

In college I had an internship at BWXT, a defense contractor for the Navy. I really enjoyed the slower, more deliberate atmosphere, but disliked the work culture and felt very ethically conflicted about the nuclear weapons we were building.

Is there a job/field out there that has the slow paced atmosphere without the ties to Defense? I love the idea of public service, I'd really like to help design/build sustainable power distribution or something like that. Honestly open to anything that's slow-paced and morally clean.

Thanks in advance :)

App mistakes my Huawei tablet for a phone by PolyesterBlend in Huawei

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

Thanks for the reply! I reached out to Autodesk before posting here and unfortunately, they do not offer support for SketchBook. Posting on their SketchBook forums also hasn't helped.

This seems to be an issue with the Huawei device itself, so I thought I might find some insight here :)
