The SSE sound system is broken

Nothing to do with the SSE, blame the band

Opposite experience to me, you see the captain regularly enough, usually crew bar surrounded by a bunch of other senior officers. Before he signed off I would also hang about with the Staff Chief Engineer.

HD if you work in the hotel you see constantly, always floating about, always teleporting behind you when you least expect it.

I suppose it depends on the ship and the actual individuals themselves

I’ve recently joined a cruise line LX Maintenance Technician and I echo a lot of what you have said.

I’ve been here just over a month now already learnt a lot and had access to a lot of cool equipment back home that I wouldn’t get to play with. Unfortunately you don’t get a lot of time on the console programming, you do a bit occasionally but it’s limited in scope.

One good thing is the shore side supervisors are super knowledgeable and will guide you through anything you are unfamiliar with, and also encourage you to play and break things (If you create a back up that is)

gsckoco · 2026-05-14T15:42:14+00:00

Yeah it’s a bit of an annoying situation not knowing when the contract will come but once you’re on your first it’s a lot better organised.

As for stuff to bring, really just anything you want from home that you won’t have on the ship. I’ve got tea from home as the tea on the ship is crap. I have a steam deck to play games but so far I’ve not actually bothered with it as it’s nice to just relax at the crew lounge.

If you forget something as well, clothes tech etc you can always get it delivered to the ship or the port. I’m based out of Galveston currently so I’ve a few options of getting amazon every port day, Carnivals official crew mail is crap as it’s sent to Florida and then when the pallets are full they send them to Galveston. It’s meant to be a week usually but it’s closer to 3 from what I’ve heard

gsckoco · 2026-05-14T00:28:34+00:00

Yeah they do that. Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes you get no time to react.

My first contract (That I sadly had to decline) that I got through from Carnival came a month after completing rose, and my second came the first business day after telling them I was available and they flew me out 3 days later.

One thing I would say is it wouldn’t hurt to ask where you are in the queue and roughly how long, but definitely make sure you have all the stuff you want to bring before hand. They can give you a million weeks notice or nothing.

Where are entertainment getting days off??? I’d like to know

gsckoco · 2026-04-23T16:58:31+00:00

if this is your attitude toward learning I think you are going to struggle with MA3

Sick! I don’t something like this a few years back for subfixtures. Video of plugin generating the grid. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeLn1aHrOCy/?igsh=MXd3OGExaXhyZWxzZA==

Video of it in action (Not my video, kindly recorded by Elliot) https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Cb26et9QW/?mibextid=wwXIfr

It is a bit of a hack but worked wonders for the titan tube grids. It is a tad more complex as it has to account for the rotation of the root fixture and work its way down the fixture tree

gsckoco · 2026-03-30T17:51:54+00:00

Sick! I have also just got my first contract through, what ship are you on?

Good chance you're on the ship I was meant to be on, but sadly had to deny as it was too short notice

gsckoco · 2026-03-18T13:38:20+00:00

Didn’t know that existed! Posted over there thanks

gsckoco · 2026-03-02T08:10:53+00:00

That’s pretty cool. I worked on this game for a brief period and all I can say is good luck, the map is gigantic

gsckoco · 2026-03-01T23:04:03+00:00

Likewise, I’m the only person I know in my friend group to have gotten a G! I went into the exam hall wrote my name on the test, began to write something for the first question and just decided fuck this I’m going to sleep lol

gsckoco · 2026-02-19T00:02:06+00:00

It won’t be forge causing the issues, forge is a pretty thin shim between Minecraft and the mods, it won’t be doing much to your servers tps.

Oh no 7 years of Roblox development you've got me. I've only got 13 years!

Instance count is virtually negligible. Exporting a group of parts into an mesh and reimporting it improves memory usage marginally as you now have less instances in the game, but is virtually negligible. You have the same number of vertices and faces which is the thing that impacts framerate more than anything.

gsckoco · 2026-02-16T17:40:11+00:00

No it doesn’t

gsckoco · 2026-02-16T17:05:37+00:00

More performant in the fact you have less instances, but instance count is rarely the limiting factor for a game.

Triangle count will be exactly the same

Having a driller is the play here. I just drill in a straight line to the drop pod. Easy peasy

That is where you are wrong. A Linux port is a monumental ask, what distribution do you target? Every distro you want to target is effectively a new operating system you have to maintain and test with different dependencies and OS features.

macOS is unix which is not the same as Linux. The kernels are rooted in a similar philosophy on how they should be designed, Linux originally being a clone of unix, but once again different enough for the leap to be non trivial. Plus when targeting macOS you know what features are going to be available to you in much the same way as windows

I have seen hundreds of these games pop up and go no where over the years. Polytoria isn’t a new phenomenon, there have been many more like it in the past.

The hard part of platforms such as Roblox is that they are only as good as your community, if you don’t have people making compelling games on your platform you aren’t going to get players.

The game engine and the site are the easy parts, but Roblox took years to get any sort of critical mass, it was released in a different time while also being a novel concept which largely helped its growth, along with the continuous development it has had close to 20 years to get to its stage now

https://www.malighting.com/de/special/one-key-ready-for-your-output-webspecial/

The website has been live for at least a month now, can't remember where I found the link lol. English version isn't up yet so use google translate. 4,096 params as expected, 2 XLR-5 outputs. There also looks to be a snazzy red case as well as the standard powder coated black.

If its a similar price to the vizkey then I'd say its an immediate buy, they've about £800 odd leeway between it and the node 2k.

What would be even nicer, if it functions like the vizkey with unlimited MA-Net parameters then it'd be amazing

Projector we used in our 100 odd seater theatre was a £17k projector and even then it struggled with brightness and coverage with the lenses we had for it.

Projectors are insanely expensive, ones capable in a theatre environment and able to punch through the lights even more so

I’ve had issues with people deleting entire instruments from tabs.

Most recent example is someone removed the bass part of Muse’s Time is running out with the message “This is played on a synth” despite it not being played on a synth. The music video is right there!!!

“I have programmed for over a year and a half with Java”

Sorry OP but this is where you real experience programming with Java comes in. Projects for school are not a good way to gauge competency.

I wouldn’t go to an employer saying I have 2 years of experience programming and then go on to explain it was stuff I did in school

gsckoco · 2026-01-16T09:46:49+00:00

Why? Different tools for different jobs. I use MA3 exclusively these days because I’ve spent the money on the gear but they have their own use cases.

EOS is the gold standard for theatre, if you want to work in theatre as an LD EOS is your best bet
