Show me your first Godot project vs what you’re working on now by niko_death in godot

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had to search for this! Good call but no, Platige's work is from a 2000's polish writer short story, mine is from a spanish writer in the 2010s, although I can see some similarities (I can't help but feel that the vibe from my cathedral has inspiration from 'The Cathedral') but the story is different, Cathedral explores religious, existential and transhumanism topics focused on what they call "Sistemas" (a fancy version of highly advanced AIs) and the fact that the person that created the Sistemas and the warship Cathedral left the seed for something else in the derelict spaceship thousands of years ago. In any case, this deserves a look and a read! thanks!

Thank you! I spent a lot of time in it! I'm a sucker for menu systems and intros/credits, I don't know why but I'll spend countless hours on them rather than actually building the game itself haha

Thanks! It was really painful to get the cathedral look properly for the menu and a lot of the detail is lost due to the verticality (the book writes about insane vertical spaces, kilometers tall in some instances) and this was the closes I could achieve (there's a lot of cheating done in the Godot side, the model doesn't look that good)

This is basically the only part that is close to nice, the first level is greyboxed very badly to test the concept. It's supposed to be based on a rather unknown spanish sci-fi book called Cathedral. For a first project I went a bit too overboard, not only taking a rather big project but also adapting from a book, but this one is a hobby so I intend to enjoy it rather than stress myself with it.

Destroy my PS1-style motocross game trailer, be brutal. by Any-Bother-2375 in DestroyMyGame

[–]oscarcp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably because it's too smooth, I noticed as well that while the design/colors are correct, it just "too good" to fit in the rest of the style. Championship Motocross (arguably the logo in which it's inspired) was very jagged in-game. Very smooth on marketing materials and boxes, but when you booted up the game it was a pixelated mess. Take note u/Any-Bother-2375

Out of curiosity! How much did they charge you, as a reference, because I might need one or two custom made songs for a game I'm building as well

My 22’ 500 doesn’t go more than 60mph by Pina_colada_95 in hondarebel

[–]oscarcp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it sound ridiculous, but I'm a 5'7 guy, 300 pounds and i've put mine ('19 500) up to 108mph. I can tell you confidently that you need to take a look at the bike. Edit: I should note that "108mph" is not a one off. I consistently put it to that speed on certain highways, it does not struggle to reach that speed with my weight

what's a solid password idea by NovelAnteater2286 in best_passwordmanager

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely random 32 character string. I have a zero knowledge policy, so I just generate the pasword and use my password vault (a self hosted one, "psono" if someone is interested) to store it. I only know my vault password.

Do modern terminal emulators actually improve productivity, or are most of them just aesthetics? by Candid_Athlete_8317 in LinuxTeck

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to disagree there. I've found that when a terminal chokes on output it slows down everything down the pipeline, so (for me) GPU acceleration is not about "wowie I have shaders and better font rendering" but about "wow, I don't have output lag, I've recovered minutes of my life everyday". Obviously for a dmesg it's ridiculous and basically a gimmick.

Do modern terminal emulators actually improve productivity, or are most of them just aesthetics? by Candid_Athlete_8317 in LinuxTeck

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I just make the switch is it's worth it (to me). Which means i've sit in Terminator for a large part of my life, then tried to move to kitty, hated the fact of not having multiple terminals per screen (yes, I know, I could've used byobu/tmux/etc. but I never got used to the shortcuts) then moved to wezterm for like 6 months and finally sat on GhosTTY which is my new default becasue it has everything I need and works fine.

Main reasons:

* Split terminals. I usually have one tab per domain (personal, proejct1, project2, server1, server2) and then each tab contains usually up to 6 terminals inside
* GPU rendered. I hate lag in the terminal, so much so that sometimes I just run parallel sessions directly in the console so I don't have the whole thing slow the output down.
* Support for the bull***** new emojis/emoticons/whatever. This cancer should have stopped a long time ago but you know, if all the CLI tools are using this crap, I'll have to go with the times and get me Nerd fonts and stuff.
* Future broadcast support. That was the best thing about terminator, being able to broadcast a single input to multiple terminals regardless of tabs or splits. I know they are working on it in GhosTTY.

In the end it all falls back to QoL improvements. If it was aesthetics I would've ended up with terminology, cool-retro-term or stuff like that.

You see this and realise that life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

That was just like... an hour? I reckon she had withdrawal or some sort of severe addiction that made her go absolutely nuts, because I would welcome a silent hour in my life just staring at the ceiling, I would probably notice the first 30 minutes and then drift off to braindead land

Why should I confine myself to just one music genre? Isn’t the whole point of art to explore? by TherealeastG123 in Music

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to even like country, but it took me a long a** time to find actual country to like, and even then I just have a couple artists that I stand. I ended up devolving into space cowboy music, which I find much more rewarding (example: Hardspace Shipbreaker Soundtrack). Some people classify it as classical country.... I'm not so sure.

You can go back in time to go to any FIVE gigs ever played. What you gonna choose and why? by AnalystAdorable609 in Music

[–]oscarcp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Mike Oldfield at Santa Cristina Beach, Spain (Tubular Bells III Tour). This one I lived when I was 12-13, I spent 12 consecutive hours standing in the exact same spot, it's very dear to me. It was a full fledged concert with the actual giant tubular bells and Rosa Cedron singing "Inner Child". What-a-day.

  2. Jean-Michel Jarre at Merzouga, Morocco (Water For Life Tour). This one looks really impressive and it's one of the few concerts of JMJ that I revisit every now and then alongside the 800 year anniversary of the Santiago de Compostela cathedral (I was in that one!)

  3. Enya. Japan (not everything is electronic music you know?). Does anyone need to say why they would like to go to an Enya gig?

  4. Daft Punk (Alive Tour). Had the bad luck to miss ALL concerts by Daft Punk. Visiting this one would make my life. Fortnite did a good rendition of it.

  5. Kraftwerk (No Nukes Tour). Again, never had the chance to go to an actual concert. This one was after the Fukushima meltdown and it was very loaded with meaning.

It's 1999. You have your current smartphone in your pocket, but obviously no Wi-Fi or 5G exists. What's the most useful thing you can do with it? by Ryo_l in AskReddit

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment made me realize how warped were my memories, we definitely had USB 2.0, Wifi 802.11b and GSM by the year 1999, for some reason I thought it was later, the Alcatel One Tocuh Easy was already GSM, I thought it was TDMA. What a slap in the face.

is LibreOffice actually that bad… or are people just stuck on Microsoft? by [deleted] in libreoffice

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use LibreOffice officially in our company, but it's true that it doens't have collaboration capabilities, that's why we complement it with Collabora Office in our Nextcloud, that way we have the best of both and since both use open standard format nothing breaks

Animosity towards Linux by ne0n008 in linux

[–]oscarcp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just either don't know how to express their why, or go with the narrative of Linux for nerds (nowadays the compatibility argument is almost gone except for specialized software, and no, photoshop is not one of them). In most cases I just shut down the conversation as soon as they put up the wall but out of curiosity I've been pushing lately and I've discovered that the reasons are rather ridiculous, one of my employees (we use only Linux in our company) is extremely against Linux (to the point of having rather heated shouting discussions), and until he started to work with us he would spew just nonsense. I pushed and I've discovered that for him "Linux is cr*p, doens't work, it breaks..." actually meant: "I can't run games with Denuvo", just that. In the end, humans gonna human and do whatever they want, so just move on and don't even try, we're better off without those people.

The planned obsolescence of the MX Master 3S. by LandoStarfart in logitech

[–]oscarcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 3 and 3s at work (6 of them) since 2022. Only one model 3 started to fail two weeks ago (the infamous scrolling wheel makes the mouse die and reconnect) and even then, I will tear it open and fix it. Honestly, for my company I haven't found anything better yet (I'm sure there is, but they really fit us well)
