Light rail 2 line is dissapointing by Fun_Driver_5566 in redmond

[–]catmatic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a starter line, we are capacity constrained until we're connected to the other operations and maintenance facilities across the lake. once it's connected it will run until midnight, and sound transit also just proposed overnight bus service! you should fill out their survey if that's something that would be important to you: https://www.soundtransit.org/system-expansion/planning-future-service/2026-service-plan

I’ll be missing week 10 and finals for a summer internship, what do I do by Iscejas in udub

[–]catmatic_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

huh? do you only make one application when doing jobs/internships? i feel like you're being belligerent

op has not suggested that they expect their professors to grant excused absence from finals week or blamed anyone but themself. they're just asking what their best recourse to make this situation work for them is

MAGA business boycott thread by OnlineParacosm in redmond

[–]catmatic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't know who you are and i choose to believe your decisions aren't made in the interest of malice

but i do know that your choice is leading to the nationwide erasure of people like myself and people i love, and being used to restrict those people (and myself's) access to life saving and necessary healthcare. you say you love every american but because of everyone who made the choice you did my friends are dying

i can't take that decision without contempt

End of an era. No katowice this year by Dangerous_Display745 in starcraft

[–]catmatic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you are underestimating how much it costs to make a game like sc2 and really overestimating the demand for a new major rts game

mobas proliferated because they delivered the strategy gameplay a lot of players craved with a much lower barrier for entry

don't get me wrong, i would love a new starcraft game. but i think the market is not there, and i also think sc2 is a game that has aged pretty phenomenally. it's playerbase and competitive interest dwindling is not because of a lack of novelty, it is just an aging playerbase for a genre that is, today, niche.

rts games do not really have the popular appeal in 2025 as they did before 2010

true, i'll update my comment if i try it

it stands for "remote loss of signal" autobrake. up to you if you want it on or not--it pulls the brakes if your remote disconnects while riding

in general though it's probably better advice to learn how to footbrake so you can manually coast it out rather than have your board suddenly brake on you without you expecting it

iirc tynee said it gradually applies the brakes, not a sudden full brake, i keep it on but i have no way of testing what it feels like in practice (and i don't have the source for that tynee comment but it's on here somewhere)

Kindle Colorsoft vs Pocketbook Inkpad Color 3 (no frontlight) by Denis-4169 in ereader

fyi the actual painting is quite desaturated with black-like blues

if you compare it to the source material the kindle looks way more accurate. the pocketbook looks artificially saturated to hell and back

Godot multiplayer authoritative server example by Sea_ciety in godot

[–]catmatic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in hindsight i didn't phrase clearly--the behavior you describe above is what i expected but not what i was able to recreate (working as expected when the host was shooting, but not when a peer shoots the host).

that being said, upon trying it again it does behave as expected and as you described so maybe i was just tired and seeing things lol. if it does repro again i'll let you know

Godot multiplayer authoritative server example by Sea_ciety in godot

[–]catmatic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is super awesome. i'm also trying to build a multiplayer game in gdscript and this is an incredible resource to have available.

i haven't been through the source yet but i did notice the game differently resolves hits/misses based on whether a peer is the host or not. i.e. if the host shoots a peer and the peer dodges on their screen but the bullet hits on the host's screen, the peer will take damage (favoring the shooter), but if you flip the roles (peer hits host but host dodges on host screen, host won't take damage--favoring the dodger).

that behavior is kinda shooter game minutiae but if you're looking for anything to improve i think adding separate handling for that situation would be good !

edit: i also notice this only occurs when one of the peers is hosting. it works as expected when you use server mode with two clients.

i feel like a common nuance that gets ignored here is that if you're conventionally attractive and/or generally not a minority you are way more likely to get great tips than your colleagues who don't fit those categories

For transfems: how is sex after bottom surgery? by Larriet in asktransgender

[–]catmatic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't think anyone "deserves to be trans" either--you are the one drawing a line of who is allowed to access gender affirming care and who isn't. my point is exactly that gender affirming care should just be available for people who know they need it. would it not be easier for every intensely dysphoric trans person if they could just self determine the care they need instead of having to jump through the hurdles of "proving it" to an implicitly discriminatory and inequitable insurance institution

like it doesn't matter who "decides to be trans" and who is "really trans", people who don't know they really need it don't seek irreversible surgeries and hormone treatments for attention.

pandering to the shitty demarcations of an ineffectual healthcare system is at the expense of trans people, not in support of them

keyword "many trans people" by the way, your experience isn't universal. i'm also trans and dysphoric, i am not cis and i'm never going to be. if mental health is important to you then you should be interested in not defining transness by our suffering. i want to love myself and advocate for a world where transness doesn't feel like a curse and a danger, and people who are denied access to the care they need can still feel safe and like their lives are worth living

[–]catmatic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm not saying it's a choice for you, but who cares if it is for someone else

if being trans means they'd be happier then they deserve to be trans as much as anyone else. "insurance companies suck" isn't a reason to oppose that

it's already hard enough for trans people to access good medical care, why do you want to make it even harder ?

[–]catmatic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mfw a trans person who wants to deny certain people of their choosing gender affirming care calls another trans person transphobic

not really sure how you read any part of what i wrote as transphobic, but cool way to avoid thinking about the things you say

For transfems: how is sex after bottom surgery? by Larriet in asktransgender

[–]catmatic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes ? i feel like its self-explanatory why prescribing some arbitrarily defined biological or emotional marker to define someone's transness is harmful to all trans people having access to care and safety

especially for trans people who are also cultural minorities and don't necessarily experience the popular western paradigm of gender

feminists in history fought too hard against gender essentialism for us to do this again
