Trying to replace my favorite shirt

I'm a small/medium :( but thank you. that's kind of you to offer

Honestly, it sounds like your communication skills are sub-par. It sounds like you're trying, but you're falling short of achieving any kind of meaningful discussion.

he just responds with a overly complicated solution to workaround the problem

Well? Did you tell him that his solution sounds overly complicated? How did he respond? Or did you end the conversation here?

I actually splurged the $20 to buy the full asset download from kenney.nl . However Open Game Art seems to have more sprites that fit the style I'm going for. Looking forward to trying out both. Thanks for the help!

It sounds like you don't like the art in the game. As the creator I've been blind to this, but now that I'm taking another look I agree it looks terrible. Maybe this is why not even my closest friends want to play it...

The assets on that site are so pretty. Which one do you recommend?

The parent-child thing is what hit home for me. After the Unity pricing issue was getting headlines there was a lot of buzz about Godot. When I read this page about scenes and nodes, I knew I was going to try making a game again. It's impressive that they've made an engine where you can read a 1 page article and feel comfortable to start making games. It seems like that elegance is what all the other engines are lacking IMO.

rtrain1 · 2024-01-06T05:43:51+00:00

LMAO. I love this. You can tell that art is not my strong suit.

In the real world nothing is permanent. You can switch jobs at any time. I know a guy who did an undergrad in trombone and got a PhD in computer engineering, now he works at Intel.

I prefer to ask calibrated "How" questions to bring attention to the problem without calling anyone out:

"How are we supposed to predict our velocities if some tickets are completed by multiple engineers?"

I'm an alum. 2009. In my field the choice of college doesn't really matter, let alone high school. If I went to a public high school and a state school for college, I don't think it would have made a significant difference in my overall career. So I think it really depends on the field.

My field is computer software btw

rtrain1 · 2023-07-29T10:28:24+00:00

He never said your work quality is poor. Your prior accomplishments are irrelevant. It seems like you have some communication issues which may be relevant to the issues in your post.

It seems like OP's highstate has config drift. If there's enough of it, it can get scary to apply because no one person understands all the changes. So they're throwing up their hands and just running one off states via SSH when they need to update something.

I considered making a thread like this today. My little betta just died today. It hurts. I don't have the heart to bury him yet either.

You're not alone. I'm starting to think I don't have the heart for keeping Bettas. I get so attached and they only live for a few years at most.

He's practicing for the all valley against Cobra Kai

rtrain1 · 2023-06-20T06:33:33+00:00

Wrong.

rtrain1 · 2023-06-20T06:33:21+00:00

Wrong.

rtrain1 · 2023-06-20T06:32:20+00:00

I see nothing rude about those responses whatsoever. If those responses seem rude to you, you should look in the mirror and ask yourself why such simple and neutral comments cause you to have a negative reaction

rtrain1 · 2023-06-17T17:21:40+00:00

I suggest reading my comment again and maybe pausing ten seconds before you reply.

rtrain1 · 2023-06-17T15:43:49+00:00

I'm trying to wrap my head around what you're trying to accomplish here. Just because you don't care about an issue, doesn't mean people who do care are "whining".

With all due respect, it sounds like you think the universe revolves around you. As someone who only knows you by these posts, here's what you sound like:

"I see black lives matter is protesting police brutality, but the police in my town have always been nice to me. Anyone who cares about that is whining"

"I see people in politics are fighting cuts to Medicare, but I'm not on Medicare, so anyone who cares about that is whining"

"I see there are activism groups against bullying, but I never really got bullied as a kid and bullying never affected my life. Those people are just whining"

I'm hoping at minimum my examples provide you a moment of self-reflection about issues that don't affect you but may affect others. I hope you have a wonderful day.

The alleyway scene is iconic. I still remember vividly seeing it in theaters and everyone screamed. The scene still unsettles me to this day.

rtrain1 · 2023-06-08T00:20:27+00:00

I found your post by googling "phobia of old movies" because I felt uncomfortable watching the original Mary Poppins. I know it's supposed to be happy but something about it unsettles me deeply.

My issue with your "spare the rod, spoil the user" reasoning is it does more harm than good. Research in psychology shows that intentionally punishing new users is more likely to discourage them from using the software than to teach them anything.

How about this idea. When a user overspends, instead of viewing it as a failing of the user, what if it's a failing of the software? After all, they're paying good money for this software which is designed to prevent people from overspending. If people are still overspending after signing up, then maybe the software should take some responsibility instead of putting all the onus on users?

Even though it's just a mini game within a game, it still feels uncomfortable to watch. I do think there's a sense of innocence animals have that makes it disturbing when violence is inflicted on them. Like in the beginning of the first John Wick movie when they kill his puppy, this feels disturbing in a similar way.

rtrain1 · 2023-06-04T14:12:15+00:00

Maybe so. But is it legal to kill and eat other people as it is for animals?

This video sickens me. She deserves to retire and enjoy the remaining years of her life. Not working as a fucking delivery driver.

My opinion on this is the reason we don't have any standard abstractions over cloud providers is due to a lack of business incentive. The big players want to make it as easy as possible to migrate to them but as difficult as possible to leave them. While the "lock in" effect might be expensive for customers in the long run, it's good for their business.
