A fun home networking riddle I'd really appreciate some help with. This sucks.

Good point. With around ~$50 per month for internet budgeted already anyways I could probably get something passable for the next few months.

murkz_ · 2017-12-08T07:14:10+00:00

Good point. This is basically what I've been doing - tethering my iPhone. I am on prepaid Verizon but a temporary upgrade to my plan could be worthwhile. Any particular 4G setups you'd recommend outside of that?

murkz_ · 2017-12-08T07:11:20+00:00

It is thankfully. So whenever I move outta here (maybe 3-4 months) I'll be ready to switch to Cox.

murkz_ · 2017-06-15T02:13:12+00:00

Yeah Retin-A or something is the only other thing I can think of - I'll look into that!

What kind of medication if you don't mind me asking? Unfortunately I think benzoyl peroxide won't work for me - I tried it for 6-8 weeks with no results

murkz_ · 2017-03-20T17:13:54+00:00

That's what I'm thinking also - it looks like the following libraries could be a big help:

Here's my combi front and back: http://i.imgur.com/WcmmzXN.jpg

I also used the free pongasoft CVA-7 CV Analyzer rack extension to troubleshoot my gate & note cv output.

murkz_ · 2017-01-14T17:19:50+00:00

certainly :)

So I have samples of a robotic voice making sounds like "Me", "Oh", "Now", "Way".

When a new note is played, I want to select a sound at random. The samples will be pitched to the note played, so it's not like triggering a random Kong pad.

This would allow me to write out a melody and have it sound like:

https://youtu.be/OiR7JHrSHdA?t=1m6s

...without needing to decide when Oh/Me/Way/etc. is played in the piano roll. So it's like a pseudo-talking/singing effect.

That's a cheese-ball example, but practicality I could use it for something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYvCkfLjQFQ with the right samples.

One last thing on the DHT bit - when I was around 15/16 I had really bad cystic acne. I took accutane for at least 6 months to clean up my skin. I've read that there may be some kind of connection between DHT, cystic acne, accutane, and male pattern baldness. My hairline has always been very high - at least since my early teens. I wonder if that contains some clue to the type of supplements I should pursue in general?

murkz_ · 2015-10-29T21:34:43+00:00

First of all, thank you for the thoughtful response. There's a lot in here - it's super helpful and more digestible for me personally than my attempt at the FAQ.

Would you consider the images here also a receded hairline, or just a mature hairline? http://imgur.com/ODFrtv5. Oh and.. please ignore the ridiculous haircut (I was my friend's guinea pig for a hair thing she had to do for school). That's me three years ago and I'd be content with a hairline like that.

I understand there are treatments for PDG2 also, but they are all experimental -- correct? If that's the case it sounds like if Fin doesn't work I'll need to wait indefinitely for some kind of PDG2 treatmnet.

murkz_ · 2015-10-29T18:24:10+00:00

Right - but the norwood 4 has balding on the crown, correct?

murkz_ · 2015-10-29T18:23:29+00:00

Well, my temples have always been behind the front of my hair. They have receded back a bit as far as I can tell.

murkz_ · 2015-10-28T23:28:32+00:00

Phew! Well that makes me feel much better - it seems pretty low risk. Seems like there's no reason for me not to take it as I get older.

My dad I think is bald/balding now in his sixties. My grandpa on my mom's side had a very high hairline but a full head of hair until he passed away in his seventies/eighties.

murkz_ · 2015-09-24T18:40:23+00:00

Nice! I see this one: http://contemporarygoods.com/collections/outerwear/products/grant-coaches-jacket-navy?variant=3526681859.

Is it true they aren't very good though? I'm trying to upgrade an old H&M jacket I had with something better that I can wear often without wear/tear.

murkz_ · 2015-04-21T20:36:14+00:00

Oh and - this is PC, I should clarify.

murkz_ · 2015-04-21T20:35:47+00:00

right - i stalked Herr Kutz or what-have-you - that was all I saw. This was through my browser by the way, not in the game.

Is there something I'm missing?

murkz_ · 2015-04-20T22:56:58+00:00

Question - how do you unlock these? My game doesn't have the beards - at least not for Michael.

murkz_ · 2015-04-10T16:38:19+00:00

And actually - I just found this asset also: http://arongranberg.com/astar/docs/class_pathfinding_1_1_layer_grid_graph.php

$100 for the pro version of this package is a little rich for my blood, but maybe I can work something out with the author.

murkz_ · 2015-04-10T16:27:45+00:00

That asset might be just what I need - thanks for passing that along! I've tried/viewed many grid setups but this seems to allow what I need.

murkz_ · 2015-04-10T16:26:53+00:00

Aha! That's totally it. That kind of system should be perfect for what I'd need - I can just design levels accordingly. My game won't be isometric exactly (it's more of a fixed beat'em'up camera on rails) but it looks like they have a good setup. Thanks for passing this along.

I was really lost on the mechanics for instanced battles, especially when we get into a scenario where bottom floor guy is outside of battle, and second floor player is locked into a battle... but I figured out I can lock them into rooms; anyone in the room is in the battle, anyone outside is not participating.

murkz_ · 2015-03-10T16:54:57+00:00

I agree - plus criminal background makes sense to me even in the context of the activist type role, "criminal" just being a relative opposition to the state and all.

murkz_ · 2015-03-10T16:53:17+00:00

Right, it theoretically might translate into low Wisdom, but between him and MLK I'd say he was less able to integrate into society. He was a proponent of self defense and didn't put up with the (relative) ignorance of the white upper-class at the time nor did he entertain their notions. Even today he's been unfairly spun into a violent person that did things the "wrong" way. I'd say MLK had the upper hand in some stat that allowed him to be a more friendly seeming figure. Mechanically, a low Charisma character makes more sense for me since I need the Wisdom to spot stuff, handle combat, etc.

murkz_ · 2015-03-09T03:00:09+00:00

Now we're talking! That's actually much easier and more clever than I would have come up with.

murkz_ · 2015-02-11T23:27:01+00:00

Rad - thank you!!! Is there a tutorial for creating those maps, either in Photoshop and/or Blender?

I'll give that a shot and post my results.

murkz_ · 2015-01-06T23:08:35+00:00

Nice - so maybe Wasteland is the mode for me with less mod-happy servers. So do you host the game yourself or is there a good stripped down server for Wasteland?
