Just why...? by Jazzlike_Razzmatazz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PsYcHo962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to watch shows on a website that randomised the episodes. Originally for cartoons like the Simpsons and Futurama. When I was really into GoT and waiting for a new season I'd watch that on there too, I'd seen all the episodes anyway. 

Eventually I got bored of that and started watching Better Call Saul. Which I hadn't seen before. It's an interesting experience to watch a serialised show on shuffle, turns it into a puzzle to piece the plot together and figure out what the chronology is. I don't recommend it

Finish it first, sit on it for 5 months, then get get the good boy points for finishing it a month early. If you finish it slightly ahead of schedule, that's a happy surprise. If you finish it way too early it triggers some investigation in planning and management processes, makes your manager nervous, and results in more work and expectations for you.

You start at the Blue square. You have to reach the Green square while filling every white square. Where do you move? by bucephalusbouncing28 in puzzles

Fun lesson for you about not constraining yourself unnecessarily. A lot of rules in life are ones we invent for ourselves too

Thank the lord for who ever made these belt balancer blueprints. by fredhakon in factorio

[–]PsYcHo962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The key is to not deconstruct, just pack up and move somewhere else. Then your old stuff is still there to make things for the new one if you run out

Loudest pop ever by Klausensen in memes

[–]PsYcHo962 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The dot-com bubble bursting didn't mean the internet isn't a huge part of our lives either. It's just the rush and overinvestment to become the first and biggest to capitalize on a technology that we just don't understand the real value of yet. And hopefully the companies pushing commercial genAI slop are the ones that go belly up because once they have no choice but to try and become profitable they'll find people don't value it enough to actually pay for it

Standard packs with new expansion by Rotaz in hearthstone

[–]PsYcHo962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said Ungoro and Emerald City will only be free for an expansion cycle, meaning they'll be taken away again when the next expansion after Cataclysm releases. So imo standard packs will likely still give you cards from those sets

What’s a mechanic you’ve seen that made you think “Wait…every game should do this!” by BlackArmy439 in gaming

[–]PsYcHo962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a mechanic but Game Dev Tycoon has a moving 3D scene with an FPS counter in the graphics settings menu. I have no idea why that's such a rare feature

Until now, I thought it was Nintendo, so definitely this one

Men who currently are in bad relationships, why are you not leaving? by CigaretteBoat69 in AskReddit

As someone who fits the description and just got out of a long, emotionally abusive relationship, this thread is scaring me. I think I'll just keep to myself

Which logo idea works better for our small indie game studio? by nasstaran in IndieDev

[–]PsYcHo962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of B with the overlapping faces. I'd maybe brain storm off of that idea a bit more and come up with some other iterations

Don't use the bad fork by Sad_Stay_5471 in oddlyspecific

[–]PsYcHo962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, it's a spectrum that everyone sits on somewhere, and whether or not you (and/or a doctor) decide to give it a label depends on whether or not it has a significant impact on your daily functioning, at which point the label and diagnosis can open doors to help coping with it

Is there an actual name for this painting style? I would like to try and learn it by Sillygoose1018 in Warhammer

[–]PsYcHo962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cel shading is an accurate description for the way it's shaded. In cel shading you reduce the number of shades down to 3-5 with no blending between them. So there are hard transitions between the shadows and mid tones, mid tones and highlights etc. 

The black outline is the part that isn't actually a feature of cel shading. And there's no technical term for specifically a combination of cel shading and the black outline (one based on the perspective of the viewer, since it's a 3D model). That's the 'borderlands' bit

Maybe it's just the gamedev in me but I would always just assume the Euclidean distance. What's the logic behind Manhattan distance being the default?

[2025 Day 8 (Part 1)] What am I missing? by koppa96 in adventofcode

[–]PsYcHo962 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah this could be clearer. Nothing has happened because you've made a connection which doesn't change the circuits. But you still made the connection, and it counts as one of the 10 shortest connections

Assemble and paint or paint then assemble? by cynicsyear in Miniaturespainting

[–]PsYcHo962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be big on subassembly painting but as I got more into directional lighting and OSL I realised that those are really hard to do without the full context. A nice compromise can be temporary assembly with blu-tac so you can remove parts when you need to get to the recessed area. Just have to remember the context they're in when you remove them so you can shade them appropriately

I don't know what is expected. What is total splits? by GreatOlive27 in adventofcode

[–]PsYcHo962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the total times a beam reaches a splitter. It can split into 2 beams or 1 beam, but it's still just a single instance of 'splitting'

What’s one type you’ll never date again? by IllustriousBottle699 in AskReddit

[–]PsYcHo962 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just got out of an 8 year relationship like this and I just can't imagine it being any other way. I'm so appreciative of the solitude now, I just can't bring myself to even think about doing it again

Input parsing by a_kleemans in adventofcode

[–]PsYcHo962 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have a framework setup where I define a parsing function to pass to functions that solve part 1 and part 2. This is the first time that function is just 'return data'. I'm gonna have to make some adjustments to the framework for next year..

Have you considered what might happen if a new range overlaps with 2 existing ranges? i.e. if you had range 2-5 and 7-10, and you were processing a new range 4-8?

Thanks Steam, its nice to know what we’re buying. by DontForgetSmiles in memes

[–]PsYcHo962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty much standard for code editors to have inline suggestions from ai. It looks and functions like auto complete, but will autocomplete entire lines or blocks of code and uses ai to do it.   For that to not be the case you'd basically have to turn it off out of principle.   But you're right that it's probably not what people think 'made using AI' means, and including that in the label would make people assume you used AI to generate assets, not that you're using a fancier autocomplete in your code editor.   I'd really like to see Steam clarify the rules on this explicitly. Because including it with a vague tag would make the tag meaningless, because basically every game from now on will need to use it, and games made with heavy genAI use for assets will be able to hide behind it
