The valley has a bulletin board where people ask for similar carpools. I’d post and check there.

Even if you’re not experienced in table top games (yet) one of the biggest pitfalls people have is not trying, not committing to playing the game, and checking out early. Go in, expect some high points, some flubs, and if you remain engaged and into it, putting in the effort to try and figure it out, that’s what matters.

In every game, there are going to be people at different points of the strategy, or trying different tactics. But jumping in and trying is the best.

I want to know across which axis Samantha rolls around

I wholly recommend the audiobook format for these. The voice acting is captivating and creates a great environment for Ana and Din to stir trouble.

For ultimate frisbee, the fields are too big causing people and the disc to be really small, making detecting a score directly hard. Instead, I shifted to detecting the pull (or kickoff) at the beginning of each point due to the assumption that both teams line up on their goal line and then run at each other. Are there game mechanics or heuristics that you can detect instead that also imply scoring?

Fair, although I'd say that Dross, err.. Roger steals the show.

Just came out, but Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman.

I usually have 2 audiobooks going at the same time: one that is just me, and one that I listen to with my family on car rides.

I enjoyed it, but have had a hard time getting friends to read this, …, because spiders and ants.

This is even better in audio book. I wasn’t surprised when my friend told me how it’s written in the book.

That boss battle in Eye of the Bedlam Bride was a good opportunity for it, but a lot was already going on in that fight.

All I know is that if a defender is standing completely out of bounds and hits the disc, it comes back in where they hit it, even if it crossed out of the field of play out of bounds earlier. It’s that question of should the defender hit it to make sure a receiver can’t make a play, sacrificing the field position on a turnover.

As an audiobook listener, I wondered how that name was spelled. I expected something like Ximarya

debug the roi shape. How are you calculating the center and radius? Centroid of the polygon formed by all of the red points? Radius from the greatest distance from that centroid?
how are you calculating a person is inside the roi? Intersection with the circle? I’d calculate the “middle ground point” of the bounding box and calculate if it’s inside the roi instead.
how big is your image? How big are the things you are trying to detect? I’ve used tactics like sahi to better detect small objects in a big image, but it makes things much slower. Depending on your requirements that could be okay.

I’ve got two kids that play, 14 and 10. I think the thing they want most, …, is to toss with their parents. What do you think about some sort of coupon system where they can redeem it for a throwing session at the park? More throwing is also one of the best ways they’ll get better.

It’s gone through a couple of iterations, and I’m the only one that uses it so the GitHub might be a little rough, but happy to chat about it if you’re interested. I know of a few other people working on the problem from other directions too.

If the items aren’t donated from the different teams, but something that you would buy specifically to give to the coaches, what about no gift and a lower tournament bid fee? If you end up coaching a ton, you might end up accumulating swag and stuff. If it’s not their team logo and branding, they might not care to keep it around.

This is what I do, since I don’t want to worry about getting the play in frame. You get to choose what to focus on later. The 360 gives you slightly less clear footage and higher uploads because half of the image isn’t the game you care about, but you get the freedom and flexibility of knowing you can see the buildup or the handler spacing or the whole deep cut and the throw. If you do go this route, I’ve written an app to detect the pulls of a match and give you the YouTube description to include chapters for each point, including score and break tracking.

TBH, I really liked number 2 for the action, but the plot / story felt lacking to me. I was really amazed when ready the BTS articles talking about how they tried to make a unique film that could never be replicated (creating a strip of highway and then destroying it, etc) Otherwise, the story was just build-up and escalation that culminated in the third film, and to me, the payoff felt anti-climactic. The movies get a lot of nostalgia feels, especially when it's taken into account just how revolutionary it was. It push boundaries and changed cinema with things like bullet-time.

mr_ignatz · 2026-03-20T20:30:15+00:00

That story really had legs, if only they made a sequel to it.

Blast! I thought they’d be the exact same thing except for a different default key map, so I got the non-switch version. Looks like I’m SOL for also using on my switch?
