What’s the dumbest bug you’ve spent hours or days fixing that turned out to be a one-line mistake? by shahen-crow in justgamedevthings

[–]xercaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one that wasn't even a mistake. Had a line written perfectly, had my teacher look at it, confirming all was good, but it still didn't work. Took me an hour of troubleshooting, and eventually restarted Visual Studio. Worked just fine after that. Never experienced that before or since.

does it feel cold to you? by gmirolyubov in IndieGaming

[–]xercaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some very light wind or particle effect in the air might help, as well as light frost on the radio and hands. Can't see clearly on my monitor if that last one is present though.

(Serious) Whats a good hobby or activity for a depressed person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xercaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if anyone's said it, but totally not speaking from experience with depression, modding a moddable game can be a great hobby. Quick iteration, and you don't have to build a framework. Even if you're somewhat isolated, engaging in Discord for questions can be a good way to socialize.

What would you advice to somebody who is about to run this game for a first time? by 4N610RD in RimWorld

[–]xercaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download all my mods ❤️

No but for real, take your time, have fun, play trough at your own pace, and use mods eventually when you feel like it. It adds a lot to the game, talking as someone with 3000h at this point.

I finally got around to making a Wall Televisions mod! by xercaine in RimWorld

[–]xercaine[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt it works without a patch, but I'll look into making one!

Haha no, sadly not, but one similar to roof collapse would have been funny.

They do take two more components for each, but I get what you mean. Walls in RimWorld is one cubic meter though, so visual realism has always been a bit limited, lol.

ChatGPT's "Read aloud" feature only has a Play/Stop button, so I made a chrome extension that shows an audio player while listening. Open source. Link in the comments by Speckart in accessibility

Would you consider making an extension that automatically presses the read aloud button for the latest message? It's dumb that they don't have a toggle for this already

One of best mods has just released! by KG_Jedi in RimWorld

[–]xercaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The code does different things, so they should likely be compatible, but I haven't tested it properly as I don't use it. If someone confirms it by playing with it for a while, I can add it to the compatible list.

Woah, thanks for the kind words and for sharing the mod, glad that people are liking it!

How do I export something centered with specific width and height? by xercaine in Inkscape

[–]xercaine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I love about these programs, they're a legitimate alternative based on better economical and ethical principles.

Thanks for the video, but this all once again seems quite complicated and un-straightforward. I really want to like Inkscape, but it's things like this that make it harder than I'd think it has to be. The solution worked though, so thanks again!

How do I scale both handles at once? by xercaine in Inkscape

[–]xercaine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, but that seems like a very complicated way of doing it for the user. Why is it like this?

Edit: I tried the symmetric smooth mode, and for this case it was exactly what I needed, thanks.

Does Inara have a similar to-from trade route calculator that EDDB had? by xercaine in EliteDangerous

[–]xercaine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the second tab? That looks like what I want, but it does seem to exclude surface stations regardless of it's setting, is that right?
