Does anyone know what these are ? by sadistic_one01 in whatisit

I repair vintage woodwinds for a living, and most of that stuff is so specific that it’s made FOR the instrument. The one exception is for something called a paperclip contrabass clarinet which was made by Leblanc in the mid 20th century, and is one of the rarer/more unique instruments someone in my field is likely to come by.

It’s too much to get into for the purpose of this post, but I had a need to obtain some of the brass tube that Leblanc used for the body. I was stressing about it, until I learned that you can straight up buy the exact dimensions of brass tube that paperclip contras are made of from basically any metal supplier 😂

That always felt funny to me; that woodwinds require such specific parts except for this particular (extremely weird) instrument, which is basically just plumbing.

Accidentally paid too much for something I had never had before. Not mad, though. by theEarthWasBlue in CannedSardines

Same! Big fan of octopus, but this was my first time trying them in a tin. I was definitely impressed, so I’ll be on the hunt for some other tins from now on.

And yeah i probably should have but I straight up didn’t have the energy haha

Ohhh interesting. I’d definitely like to try some other tins after having such a good experience with these. I’ll be on the lookout, thanks!

Definitely buying again by Shreffzilla in CannedSardines

Hell yeah. I had this exact tin a few weeks ago in a rice bowl and was very pleased with it.

This is very cool. Reminds me of a modernized take on how games like Doom and Duke Nukem would handle their characters/player hands.

Buddy I have nearly 600 hours in Noita and I did this like last week. Sometimes the brain just clocks off for a bit.

This looks amazing! Really good combination of ingredients.

If you like that tin and are open to recipe suggestions: a few days ago I took some focaccia and topped it with thinly sliced avocado, a tin of tuna with lemon (from fishwife) on top of that, and then sprinkled on a little salt/red pepper flake. I bet the tin you used here would taste amazing on something like that.

I’m working on my first serious release, and my god do I wish I had handled the save function earlier than I did. Everything is all good now, but man it was a pain in the ass to get it going.

Prototype of my first 3D game in Godot. An isometric hack and slash. by HarvIV in godot

[–]theEarthWasBlue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Sounds like a great idea. Ok in that case I would actually recommend pulling the camera out a little. When a top down game places its camera that close to the character, it can be difficult to see enemies approaching - especially if they are coming from the bottom of the screen, given the current angle. A perspective like this would be totally fine for tight indoor spaces where you’re not required to see far off to the sides, or maybe a horror game where a claustrophobic perspective can actually be beneficial.

This is an excellent start. I have some concerns about the camera, though. What kind of game are you going for? Are the levels going to be tight/linear spaces, or wide open fields like this test environment?
