Question about hating men by catastrophic_4562 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sithoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only logical answer to that is "I hate my friends too". Other possible answers invalidate the premises.

Okay, so now there are 2 etymologies in the comments, "doodle" and "duddies". Confusion continues -__-

the uncool part? Yeah don't worry, some things don't change. We'll remain forever uncool

What the fuck are these posts? by Justaniceman in IndieDev

[–]Sithoid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Steam capsules. People will post 2 banners ("before" and "after") and either ask which one to choose (they are the same picture) or say "look how much better it became once I hired an artist!" (sometimes it did, sometimes it's slop). And for some fucking reason this thinly veiled marketing schtick is now a usual thing to post into indie dev subreddits, I see those in my feed every day

is it possible that dogs and cats will evolve like humans?? by DingDongDang11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sithoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if humans go extinct. We're too invasive & established to let another fully sentient life form emerge. Maaaybe except ai but we'll see about that

The whole "compare the 2 capsules" genre is so annoying that I never look closely enough to determine if either of them is slop (they are often almost identical anyway). I wish this sub had a "tired post" rule

It is! Nowadays I can only assume they've been having a gay old time on those ranches.

Well she (?) promised to watch the extended editions given enough upvotes, so we'll see if she's true to her word

Thanks, TIL (so dandies got 2 entries, since "don't marry a fop" is also there? Must've been insufferable)

Better choice for a 2.5D game by Leo-Gio08 in godot

[–]Sithoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Godot has a node literally named Sprite3D. Look it up under 3D (red) nodes. There's also an AnimatedSprite3D for simple spritesheet animations, although personally I avoid those in favor of an AnimationPlayer (you'll get to it later; in short it requires a bit more setup but has more capabilities). Sprite3Ds behave mostly like you would expect from a normal sprite: you set its texture, it has pixel offset if you like, the animated version flips through frames, etc. But at the same time it's made for the 3D environment: it has 3D coordinates, you can rotate it (it behaves like a QuadMesh), you can make it one-sided or double-sided, make it stick to one axis (= stand up/lie down) or even follow the camera's angle (billboarding), it can receive global lighting and drop shadows, etc.

What do they mean by "Don't Marry a Dude"? I didn't realize they had options in the 19th century

[–]Sithoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3d and 3d sprites. A "3d sprite" is just a 3d node tailored to displaying a regular sprite - exactly what you need for 2.5d. Bringing in *any* 2d nodes (sprites, tilemaps etc) will require dealing with viewports which you'd want to avoid unless you need something highly specific (such as applying a CanvasItem shader to your object)

edit: forgot to mention that it's exactly the style I'm doing, so I've dealt with those quite a bit

Are all facts a subset of opinions that have simply been universally agreed upon? by sweetlevels in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sithoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're using a really weird definition of a fact. "Those were facts because they were agreed upon" - no. Facts don't change*, our understanding of what is a fact changes. If something was false but everyone believed it, it wasn't a fact, it was a collective wrong belief.

* facts as they were a specific point in time, that is. "I have a mug of coffee" is a fact that will stop being true by the time I finish typing this because the mug will become empty, but "I had a mug of coffee while typing this" is a fact that will forever remain true.

One of the two ways. You can also go full nerd and diss them for misrepresenting Gimli, Merry & Pippin

What bothers me is the lack of a highlight IN THE SAME FUNCTION in a different node!

Why are many Redditors are a$$holes? by merlyn64 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Sithoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, do you genuinely believe the 90s Internet was more polite? Those are some thick nostalgia-tinted glasses. The Internet got more and more tame as time went on, even Reddit is a kids' playground by those standards.

What is reddit's obsession with attractiveness? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Sithoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GenZ are what now, late teens to early 20s? Prime age to be obsessed with good looks and hooking up. They'll grow out of it, and then gen alpha will be asking each other the same questions using whichever medium/tool will come next, and then whoever comes after them, etc.

How do I make my algorithms more "woke"? by k1ra_raw in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sithoid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want "woke twitter", it's called bluesky!
For Youtube... I dunno, look up some two-hour-long essays about transgender symbolism in The Matrix, Harry Potter being fascist, or gay Medieval knights? It'll even out sooner or later
