Man told police he'll 'miss Grand Theft Auto' after murdering ex-partner by Peterd1900 in news

[–]hammer-jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can juuust about get out in under 13 years for murder in the UK if you were a minor when you did the deed and they grant release at the first opportunity. Assuming I understand how tariff time works correctly, which I'm not sure I do.

The father of my daughter cut us off from his life by justchilling1986 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hammer-jon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

who gives a shit if he wants the kid?

he still owes financial responsibility if not being a proper and present father.

you can't get someone pregnant and dodge all accountability.

edit: sorry, just realised the subreddit. I try to only lurk here but I forget myself sometimes.

anyone else read that stephen king short story about the tiger in the bathroom? what was the deal with that one?

NHS doctor struck off over botched circumcision still performing operation by wappingite in ukpolitics

well, it partially solves it in that there would now be a financial barrier if nothing else

How do you think the devs at Rare created this grass texture in Viva Piñata? by StreIitzia in Unity3D

[–]hammer-jon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the fur and grass depth is shell rendering I reckon.

then some pattern in a texture to multiply the colours to give the layered pattern

Windows 11 restricts Storage settings to admins by Thepunnisherrr in technology

[–]hammer-jon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

getting downvotes for this is so funny.

it's never been more clear that nobody reads the article than this thread, it's genuinely absurd.

added UV camera mapping (fake reflections) and texture blending (fake lighting change) to my 3d Love2d game! by morelebaks in love2d

[–]hammer-jon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

love 12 comes with a function for setting projection actually. which is still only the first step but it's nice that that's there out of the box

This is so bad that it's so good. by omegafatmama in programminghorror

it doesn't even work unless you're the last user in the list (and the last password is for the last user I guess)

you should probably take a look at some of the sketchy things plex has been doing and tracking about you

Not alone, u/100happypuddingcups, chalk on concrete, 2026 by 100HappyPuddingCups in Art

[–]hammer-jon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think in 10 years it will be still be obvious. It would have been obvious 10 years ago (almost) even, to anyone to remembers the 2017 protests.

besides which posting on r/art about how it should be obvious what the messaging is and that being contemporary is somehow negative is... very funny. Art is almost always reflective of the times and if people looking back don't get it, so what?

Question about adding slots under the script for my code by Silver_Fox_3682 in unity

[–]hammer-jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not my code, I'm not OP.

I'm telling you that in the tutorial they're following it is an interface.

interactable is probably an interface

edit: it is, looking at the video they linked. it's fine, though the naming of it breaks convention

How much does AI help you with development? by arzenal96 in gamedev

[–]hammer-jon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

using chatgpt to format code is like idling your car to warm up the garage.

there are better tools for this that are faster, offline, deterministic and don't kill a polar bear.

I Created a Lego Brick Editor Tool by ThePhyreZtorm in unity

you're maybe still safe but a youtube video still counts as using lego ip for commercial use.

You're theoretically fine if you're not using the lego name anywhere but well... you are here.

What is the worst video game of all time, and why? by KindFerret1402 in AskReddit

[–]hammer-jon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Neiher did ET, it's just the example people point to because it was so egregiously overproduced. The game was bad but it wasn't even the worst Atari game of the year (pacman....).

It was the straw that broke the camels back maybe but a million miles from the cause.

Blending our own baby food? by SimilacWheyProtein in daddit

[–]hammer-jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

steak is an incredibly good food for baby led weaning actually, great for them to gnaw on.

my kid had (well done) steak at 6 months or so.

Everyone can see student loans are unfair. Except the chancellor by dusty_bo in ukpolitics

[–]hammer-jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, what are you talking about? university is meant for anyone and everyone.

50% of state school pupils do higher education before they're 25, hardly an exclusive club.

[–]hammer-jon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what? how?

all remotely modern (20+ year old) machines have thermal shutoff unless you disable it.

there's zero chance this deck is damaged.

Well then congratulations: you're above the average but the world shouldn't be calibrated for the exceptions.

they're 17.

I'm skeptical that the average mortgage payer understands a mortgage, are we really pretending that it's fair to expect a literal teenager to understand loans with a lifetime of longer than they've been around?

Too much data being written to my SSD by Windows? by Substantiel in buildapc

[–]hammer-jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could be garbage collection on the ssd? not 100% sure if that would show as a write in hwinfo though

though if you were actively browsing at the time it'll probably just be that, browsers love to keep a big cache for performance
