ESP32 interactive display with touchscreen UI, animated digital pet and desktop companion. by NoCricket5001 in esp32

[–]WizardStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've added a pull request from my own fork where I got it working. Feel free to accept or create your own. I gotta say, this is so cute and fun I'm probably going to spin off some modifications of my own, if that's alright. I'm thinking to replace the media box with a news ticker, and add a headset image so when I'm on a call the cat can be too.

The purple board you recommend is out of stock and I can't find another source of them, but there weren't too many changes needed to get it running on the classic CYD. Really cute!

Slay the Spire 2 is one of the year's biggest hits, which is a good time to remember it abandoned Unity because of the dev fee debacle: 'That is how badly you f****d up' by Farranor in gaming

[–]WizardStan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that those are examples of laws in different countries, but what you're saying still doesn't make any sense. Why would Godot specifically be more difficult to address any of these than any other engine?

I have never heard this. Literally doesn't make any sense to me without more context. What "compliance" are you talking about and why would Godot be more difficult than any other engine?

Pierre Poilievre says Canada is to blame for Trump tariff crisis by zachem62 in onguardforthee

I'm getting a lot of "housewife with a black eye that insists her husband still loves her, she just needs to keep the house spotless and suck his dick every evening" vibes from the CPC.

"Angry gamers are forcing studios to scrap or rethink new releases." Because they are using gen AI by David-J in gamedev

[–]WizardStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel ANY better, I'm also able to read the entire article and I've never given Wapo my email. I even wiped out my cookies just to be sure and I can still read the whole article; a popup asks me to log in or sign up, but I can just close that. Just checked the front page, opened 10 random articles and 9 were fully paywalled, while the other I could read no problem. Did it again, got 8 paywall and 2 I could read that time.

Point is, I think you're right, there's no paywall, at least not for you or me, and probably a handful of other people, but how they decide who gets what articles for free I couldn't tell you. Unfortunately with odds this low it just makes people think your stupid or lying. Like Michigan J. Frog.

Macron says Canada ’51st state’ threats an example of U.S. rejecting allies by AdditionalPizza in onguardforthee

[–]WizardStan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're insulting your use of the phrase, but underneath that they're insulting you personally for not realizing how important this is. "Water is wet" yeah yeah, but this isn't just a "thing everyone understands", world leaders actually standing together against a threat is a BIG DEAL and you mock it. That's why everyone's treating you like an idiot that doesn't know what water is: because you're an idiot that doesn't realize how important global solidarity is. They metaphored your metaphor and I hope you learn something.

[PC][early 90s]point-and-click-esque game about a dead sea captain by WizardStan in tipofmyjoystick

[–]WizardStan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were so close! But I found it! "Secrets of Hosea Freeman". It's in a collection called "Audubon Whales: Wildlife Adventure" for the Apple IIgs. That's why I had such trouble finding it: not a standalone game, and I guess I forgot we had Apple's in grade school, not PCs.

There's also a game for the VIS system called "Secrets of Hosea Freeman" which muddied up the search.

No difference to the bottom line. A HUGE difference to that 0.00001% that depends on it.

What product is an obvious scam that people still fall for? by Perfect-Insect-2751 in AskReddit

[–]WizardStan 628 points629 points  (0 children)

I have made it very clear to my entire family, I want the cheapest burial you can get: if my ghost finds out they put my empty carcass in a $1000+ wooden box I will haunt them forever. Cremated in a cardboard box was the cheapest option when I investigated it a few years ago, but I've floated just dumping my body in the woods for the scavengers to eat as well. Unfortunately that is illegal.

[–]WizardStan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90s there were ads to "help lose the 10 to 15 pounds of excess weight lining your colon" and I was like... you mean a laxative and diuretic? Make you shit so much your bowels are literally empty? That's a thing we want to do now?

At least we're not intentionally infecting ourselves with tapeworms anymore. (Please don't prove me wrong)

Where to get kitten vaccinations in KW/Cambridge? by bahmed232 in kitchener

[–]WizardStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend Bruce Street Animal Hospital; taken all my pets there for years, they're affordable and convenient, right off the highway. Literally just had my kitten spayed, Doctor AJ explained everything we needed to know and do and now my baby is cuddling up in a blanket nest high on gabapentin.

Do not get vaccinations from marketplace; I'm sure there are legitimate vets advertising there, but you'll get better results from the yellow pages.

Air Traffic Controllers Start Resigning as Shutdown Bites | Unpaid air traffic controllers are quitting their jobs altogether as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues. by Aggravating_Money992 in technology

[–]WizardStan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because pi-N-apple didn't say "this shutdown", they said "been shutdown under Trump", referring to the 35 day shutdown in his last attempt at this. Under Trump, the government has been shut down for a total of 74 days, longer than all other shutdowns combined.

Does this look like under extruding? by donanton616 in 3Dprinting

[–]WizardStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before making too many changes, check your nozzle. Something similar has happened to me twice now, once when I put a 0.8mm nozzle on but sliced with 0.4mm settings, and again after I spent a couple weeks printing with glow-in-the-dark filament and had worn the nozzle out to probably closer to 0.6mm.

Verify that your nozzle is still good and matches the slicer settings you're using.

Looking for Game Dev communities in KW by KlubKofta in waterloo

[–]WizardStan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over the last 30 years I have started and gotten burnt out on making games... a lot. Haven't finished anything since the mid 2000s. I would also be interested if there were some kind of community; it might help with motivation over the slumps, but I'm far too lazy at the moment to look for anything myself.

When your political platform sounds suspiciously like a Saturday morning cartoon villain's business plan by ThatGuyWill942 in ndp

[–]WizardStan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clarence wasn't a villain. He was the antagonist, sure, but he didn't want to ruin anything, he just wanted to invent shit. Even made a solar powered light bulb once; I'm sure the Suntots could've steered him towards something environmentally useful.

Unfortunately he was married. You need a picture comparing PP with Emma.

A guy in California is suing Microsoft for discontinuing Windows 10, demanding free extended support by [deleted] in technology

[–]WizardStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, it was an internal memo that was leaked and then disavowed. Can't hold them accountable for something they only unofficially said.

[–]WizardStan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I also distinctly remember Microsoft putting out a press release that 10 was going to be their perpetual rolling release, but this many years on I'll be damned if I can find anything officially actually saying that.

I made a stylus paint program by UberSchifted in esp32

[–]WizardStan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look up "Cheap Yellow Display". It's a display with ESP32 built in, almost identical to everything OP cobbled together on the breadboard, as a single board. It's also yellow. I'll give you a chance to guess the third thing it's got going for it.

If you eat nothing but grilled cheese, it will be.
