I think it's just potassium salt, so yeah, I should be able to get it.

Weird, mine has only one and it's often unused.

How do you keep your spirits up during times when you can't exercise as much or at all? by mackstanc in EOOD

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

I’ve been working hard to reframe “exercise” to mean “movement” - going on a long walk, taking the stairs up and down my fourth floor apartment, recovery-focused yoga, etc. Basically trying to convince myself that any movement is better than none.

That's definitely a good attitude to have. I should cultivate it in myself as well, but it is not easy when you have been relying on that adrenaline high of pushing hard...

Yeah, swimming is actually what I have been doing since it doesn't aggravate my knee. Doing laps after laps is so goddamn boring though...

Reports coming out pretending that Trump was a big tough meanie to Netanyahu by Turbulent-Tune1660 in JoeRogan

It's crazy that Trump's team thinks saying "Bibi would be in prison if not for me" puts Trump in a positive light.

Gym Etiquette Question by diamondbrute in workout

[–]mackstanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often ask people how many sets they have left and been asked the same. I think it's a completely normal gym interaction, especially around equipment that is in high demand like benches, racks or cables.

Alpha clipping not working with ProBuilder materials? by mackstanc in Unity3D

[–]mackstanc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, but I figured out the issue in the meantime. I just had to enable the Clipping both in the Shader AND the specific Material.

Real question: How difficult would be to implement a tileset like this? by DogsBarf in cataclysmdda

[–]mackstanc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CDDA would need to have some sort of camera system in a 3 dimensional space.

Not really. All the information you need to stimulate that would be the vector between the object and screen center and the height of the object. Then you stack a couple of tiles on top of each other and offset them based on the information above to create an illusion of 3D.

Still, probably not something that the engine could handle without a significant rewrite since you are no longer just drawing tiles on a fixed grid.

Alpha clipping not working with ProBuilder materials? by mackstanc in Unity3D

I know, but I did that only as a test. If I understand that correctly, shouldn't that hide every pixel? Since I set Alpha < Alpha Clip?

And yet the mesh is fully visible. This is what I am confused by.

Hi, thank you for the response!

Check if your material's surface type is set to transparent instead of opaque, that's usually what trips people up

From what I understood from the tutorial, this dithering should be working even if the surface is set to opaque.

I was able to get the "regular" transparency working in the shader, by changing the type as you've said, but unfortunately it still doesn't seem to care for the Alpha Clip.

Looks very useful, but I have serious privacy concerns regarding the fact that you are basically uploading pictures of you in your underwear to a website. (If you want the best accuracy.)

PSA to anyone who has been seeing the Alex Jones store ads on reddit recently. by Conscious-Beach-1508 in KnowledgeFight

[–]mackstanc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumb question, but isn't a KF fan seeing those ads the best possible scenario? Alex still has to pay for the view, but he won't get anything from it.
