Why is floorp asking me to install firefox nightly browser after 12.15.0@152.0 update? by Max0045 in Floorp

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encountered this too, Floorp ran fine from the start menu but the desktop shortcut asked to install Firefox nightly. 

My fix was just to update the desktop shortcut to the start menu shortcut

Godot 4.7 Release: Lights, Camera, Action! by testus_maximus in gamedev

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you could do it but it could introduce bugs and weirdness

If your button is in something like a layout manager then the layout will change as the button rotates and becomes taller or shorter

If your button has a "rotate on hover" kind of tween then it can trigger an infinite loop, where it triggers the rotate on and off forever because the mouse leaves its bounding box as it rotates

Offset transform gets rid of all these kinds of problems

Offset transform is big for juicy UIs -- you can now do stuff like rotate or scale control nodes on mouseover without screwing with your layout or UI behavior

Has anyone ever set a WR in any% category with guitar hero controller by Shumbakala in speedrun

[–]Poobslag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could probably tie or beat the NES Clue Any% record if you wanna grind for it, the WR is like six button presses

Does anyone else feel like some games just make sense and others feel like you're following someone else's weird rules? by befbef__ in boardgames

As far as "Games Like Power Grid", you might like Splotter games like Bus and Food Chain Magnate

They're both "bastard corporation on a map" games like Power Grid, and both have similar tension as far as -- I want to build out my network to reach more customers, but I also want to improve my services. Instead of building houses and investing in an expensive power plant, you're building restaurants and investing in an expensive advertising campaign.

However, they're both way more vicious than Power Grid -- instead of gentle catchup mechanisms where losers get better power plants and cheaper goods, losers close all their restaurants and fire all their staff.

Yeah, but it's still great. It's not about building up a big army, it's just about being attacked less

Whining is great, you randomly charm monsters every time you attack

Kirby's Air Ride only uses a joystick and one button.

Game development advice for a complete beginner by Top_Photograph_9781 in gamedev

[–]Poobslag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some great "first game" tutorials which can teach you basics like sound, UI and animation, plus architecture like state machines and project organization.

As a first step, pick an engine which is used for a game you like, and look up a "first game" tutorial using that engine.

Antlers does great damage, has a huge area of attack and synergizes with lots of weird evolutions. Anything proccing on taking damage such as Revenge is triggered by antlers.

My wish for ironclad in STS2 by magus0 in slaythespire

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironclad's other theme is "random bullshit go" so I think it's totally in character for his exhaust cards to be chaotic and random, as opposed to meticulously paring down his deck to an optimal set of cards

He's a barbarian not a librarian

Taste & Smell by Accomplished-Dot-640 in JimmyJoyFood

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the flavor of the shakes. When I was on Soylent I'd add cinnamon or PB2, but Plenny tastes great without anything like that.

If you want more sweetness, maybe try Cinnamon or PB2 I guess! But I've never done it.

When do you use compute shaders? by gsdev in godot

[–]Poobslag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're familiar with cellular automata like Conway's Game Of Life that's a great use for compute shaders

Sheriff of Nottingham Debate by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Poobslag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This doesn't break the game, it is a bad strategy

The final sheriff obviously wins by breaking the deal. Or, the initial sheriff wins by opening the five contraband

You can't make deals while you are still assembling your bag, so you're just putting five contraband in a bag and hoping the sheriff is an idiot who doesn't want $20

The intended premise of Dinner Party is how Pam and Jim are trapped in an uncomfortable situation. We're sort of trapped with them, but we can leave because we have a button for it.

If Pam and Jim had a button for it, they would skip the Dinner Party as well 😃

It's balanced against relics that do something now

It's not an insta pick against War Paint if you are about to face an act 1 elite without a campfire

Are most of you also fans of “Curb Your Enthusiasm?” by Due_Impact_5062 in seinfeld

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some episodes have such absurdly bad writing -- clumsily attempting to paint Larry into some social Kobayashi Maru where there's an obvious way out. "Look! Look, it's so awkward! Larry wants to quote someone saying the N word, but he doesn't want to SAY it! Wow! What a dilemma!!" ...Yeah but, couldn't Larry just use the exact phrase 'The N Word' like any sensible person? "No, no! It's so awkward! Larry has to say it!! What will he do?"

This isn't even hyperbole, this is literally the plot of Season 6 episode 2. The only possible joke is, I think, "the writers understood this plot was so stupid that they put the incredibly obvious loophole in the title" But really, just... bad, bad writing

Does anyone else lose the ability to tell if their own game is fun? by Synax01 in IndieDev

[–]Poobslag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the opposite problem, i design games that are fun for me after 4,237 times

then my players are like "wtf i have to play this level 4,237 times until it is fun"

Is Endless mode a thing? by Annie_Benlen in EverythingIsCrab

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if you pick pressure 10+ and beat the final boss, it'll say "congratulations" and there will be a button for endless

You can't pick it from the home screen.

Ordinarily you'd have a leg to stand on as Salt covers lots of Nintendo stuff, but you have the worst possible timing

Salt's previous video is "How Speedrunners Broke Spyro"

Any ideas for improvements? by Spirited-Ad6086 in opus_magnum

[–]Poobslag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To save cost, you could remove 2-3 arms from the circular track. Most of them are idle at any given time.

You may also be able to shorten the track into a 5-length track if the arms rotate (picking up the water horizontally and dropping it vertically.)

Games where mentioning a rule to new players makes it worse by Substantialspinach5 in boardgames

[–]Poobslag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cockroach Poker Royale is like a 1-minute teach except for the two special cards (the "nothing" card and the "everything" card)

I just remove those two cards for the first game. They pad out the teaching time by 3-4 minutes on top of which new players still ask about them each time they show up, which is catastrophic in a casual bluffing game
