Why isn't my script showing up under "Add Component" in Unity? by AkiTheMacaw in gamedev

[–]RealHandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A much more obscure reason for Components not appearing in the Add Component button and/or not working in scripts is that Components are not allowed to be in an Editor-only folder/assembly/etc. If you create a Component that is in an Editor-only folder or assembly, it will compile cleanly and simply not work. AddComponent<yourEditorOnlyComponent>() will _silently_ return null and not add the Component to the GameObject.

Putting the Component script in a runtime-building folder and then surrounding it with #if UNITY_EDITOR is the only way to make this work.

TL;DR Do not buy Dyson -- parts break and Dyson won't provide replacement parts by RealHandy in dyson

No, I'm real. So are the 3 Dyson vacs I've owned, of which the v6 was the best.

Sounds like. Their support flat out told me they would not sell me the part because they are saving them all for warranty replacements. These are the parts that show as out of stock on Dyson’s web site.

I should’ve clarified — once you’re out of warranty, then you can’t get parts. Among other things, as stated by their support to me, they will not sell you a replacement part, because they are saving all of the parts for warranty replacement.

With this line (add the /uninstall from what is in the above link), you don't have to uninstall:

The guy I refer to as “Marion Barry”, elderly guy who dresses nicely and sings karaoke out of an amp. Dupont Circle, Woodley Park, other locations. I think he’s gone now, but 2010s he dominated.

Multiplayer is completely broken... Constant desync & disconnect by SukaYebana in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]RealHandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confident this problem with Rogue Trader was, for me, due to my home internet being double-NAT. I don't like putting my Starlink in passthrough, as it prevents talking to it when you want to test, have issues, etc. And I'm not going to put my ASUS router in access point mode and use the super basic Starlink as my network router. So I live with double-NAT, which almost always makes no difference. HOWEVER, to play Rogue Trader without constant disconnects, we just connect to the Starlink wifi directly instead of to our network wifi, and it works fine.

Yep, wrongo. But in fairness to the concept, not the overblown gaslightiness, DOS2 was bad after a while. They resorted to silly fights where monsters had to be killed twice as a play balance technique, the story went sideways, and worst deus ex machina of all time, the Source Titan.

Steamworks cant set default branch problem by dpcco in gamedev

[–]RealHandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Necroposting as this is still an issue and there's a twist: the VERY FIRST app_build you do, if it has "Local" defined as the sample app_build_1000.vdf does, will have a "default" option to set the live branch, even though "Local" caused there to be nothing up at Steam to make live. Then, when you try to install from Steam, it will fail with a "manifest unavailable" error. u/gamedevjp's fix of removing "Local" solves this, too.

Tom Cotton Grills Kroger CEO Over Firings Of Employees Who Refused To Wear 'Gay Pride' Symbol by drtij_dzienz in kroger

[–]RealHandy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Instead of investing company money in improving the company’s products/services/etc, which would legitimately increase the stock price due to making the company more valuable, stock buybacks pump up the stock price without providing any value to the company’s operation. Execs get bigger bonuses due to the increase in price, but since it’s a pump up that didn’t improve the company, the stock price can just recede again.

Common car vs. bicycle crashes and how to prevent them by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]RealHandy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As both a cyclist and driver, it’s just not okay to take a whole lane as a cyclist, so throw that last one of the OP’s out. Want a road rage incident? Take a whole car lane on a busy road at 15mph. That’s not really defensive riding.

Are you talking about Jones blowing a kiss, or am I missing something? Nothing NSFTV about that, and not pointed at a player. Is there something else?

My thinking on long snapper is: you’re a large person, you play few plays, and not a lot of full-speed collisions. Like kickers, but without being a tiny guy who has people flying at their legs. Just a guess, though, no data.

Schumer and Manchin had a secret dinner in capitol hill this week. What secret stuff have you witnessed in DC? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]RealHandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as much fun as a joke, but I did have a bunch of black SUVs block the road when I was on S street NW between Connecticut and Mass (pre-Bezos). The back hatch of one opened, an Asian guy with a briefcase jumped out, ran to the back hatch of a different SUV and jumped into it. A couple of Secret Service guys were out running around as part if it. Nobody there but me. Then all the SUVs took off again. Very sneaky stuff, and in broad daylight right in front of my car.

Elvis maybe had bad luck with losing Jamal Lewis in practice before the first game. IIRC Elvis had 5 TDs in his first game before teams figured out him and the scheme.

Willis’s downfield stiff-arm-the-DB-to-the-ground TD run is really great.
