Lol, I don't think most people have softeners. I didn't even know about them until like 4 years ago

in my area basically every home has one. Theyre pretty much a necessity to protect your appliances

Are there people who dont have softeners?

my citys water is extremely hard

For the fat,I'm trying to imagine a situation where it wouldn't be cooked properly.

Same with the bone marrow tbh.

Steak fat get tough and chewy if its not cooked properly

i used to hate the fatty bits of steak as a kid because I had it at shitty chain restaurants or from someone who wasnt so great on the grill

Thats because a lot of peoples experience with it is it not having been cooked properly

Because the most popular adult animated shows since the 2000s have almost universally been very cheaply animated stuff. Things like South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman etc. are what they are chasing for the demographic

Tbh Rick and Morty is really well animated. The main characters are a design choice but there is some fantastic sci Fi animation in there as well

theres a reason they take a while off in between seasons

Every accusation is a confession

Maaaan, Killing Eve was a truly beautiful show but holy shit did they have their heads up their own ass for that final season. Better Things is another pretentious final season too.

I hate when shows try to be more philosophical for their final season, it's like fuck off, either start the show that way or don't do it at all. Don't give me 30 episodes like this, then try some arthouse nonsense for the final season.

Legion worked because it was always a mindfuck. But imagine Legion being a straight forward show, then the final season is just nonsense thrown at the screen for 6 episodes.

There were a bunch of shows that did their final seasons extremely poorly post covid and it was annoying.

Better Things stayed pretty thematically consistent imo

the ending of that was great

4 is kind of the culmination of every Pikmin game before it

theres still a lot to enjoy with previous games but I do think it might be tough if you played 4 first

if you were watching two and a half men at any point in the shows history you dont have discerning taste anyway

Why were you paying attention to these things he said he was a bunch of times when you should have been paying to the opposite thing he said he was

So an armed robber was caught by facial rec and hes mad? Theres no expectation of privacy in public. Not jsut from law enforcement. Just assume youre always on camera when you leave the house these days. Casinos use facial rec and a lot of popular tourist shopping areas do as well

The problem is its faulty technology and leads to false arrests

oh and also its against the law for them to use it

Fever Rays stuff skews a bit too far toward experimental/ambient for my taste, def prefer the knife

My on and off ex who I saw again a few weeks ago was at that party.

Holy fuck.

And his birthday isn't even until next week. Giuliani literally couldn't wait.

Your ex was one of 75 people at a party with Rudy Giuliani, Roger stone, and Steve bannon?

You have a tendency to do this.
If you're going go change the framing, you can make anything about politics. This is about fried chicken bro. Also, I assure you you're money goes to bad actors. This is just some fried chicken. Maybe you give to fewer bad actors. I'm just eating some fucking chicken.

You made a topic about a very regional chain kwik trip, as one of the probably limited number of people on this board who even know WTF that is, Im giving my opinion on it

and as a regional chain theres a difference between shitty billionaire owners of like Amazon or whatever and the rich owners of Kwik Trip who are directly funding the Wisconsin GOP

I was curious about the poor ticket sales thing so I checked and his 2 Chicago arena dates are almost entirely sold out so I think hes doing ok

GeraldDarko posted...

Do you have to make everything about politics?

No, but giving money to people who spend their money boosting terrible politics is about politics

I avoid Kwik Trip because while most corporations are shitty, Kwik Trip uses their money to directly influence local politics in a Wisconsin in a way I cant support

also its fucked up that they wont sell condoms at any of their stores because of their conservative beliefs

He has explicitly stated multiple times, before the election, that he is not a progressive.

He also stated his staunch support for Israel before the election, even including that he wanted US ties and funding to Israel to be stronger and that he would be an agent in congress to make that happen.

Like it was all there. But he had some standard/milktoast views on lgbt people and healthcare and the online left crowned him the next Bernie.

I liked it a lot but the final season was definitely too somber imo

wouldve liked more action but that was probably a budget thing

Gamers get mad that theres a POC in their game first, then work backwards to justify it

made a little bit more progress

Have you been following any particular blender tutorials? Those sculpts look quite good for just mucking about. Nicely done.

I used this one to build a rope bridge a few weeks ago, and it covered a bunch of different stuff which I think gave me a decent foundation. From there Ive just been experimenting

https://youtu.be/5hFdgNllC98?si=Ht0rq0OEIXU-EwXc

The wind turbine thing is so fucking stupid

i mean its all fucking stupid of course

but god damn

You need therapy bc even in a topic that youre claiming to be about yourself, youre still trying to diagnose this woman and create with excuses for why it didnt work out. Youre still trying to cling to hope that maybe one day when shes reached some status you deem mature enough maybe shell want to be with you then

theres no self awareness whatsoever in these topics

working on blocking out the next section

Getting better at using geometry nodes in blender which really simplifies some tasks. I built a water wheel, and also a node that can be used to build wood structures

Just fyi if youre having trouble each chapter has a link to the repository of the finished code for that chapter at the very bottom. Its kinda easy to miss but helpful if you have any bugs

that code in Update() isnt doing anything to the spheres transform yet. So it shouldnt do anything when you input. Its just setting the playerInput value to a normalized vector. If youre following that tutorial it should continue to actually setting the position of the transform

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Do you have the inputs set up in the input manager and the capitalization correct?

I'm not an industry expert by any means but dropping a high-budget walking simulator where the main gameplay gimmick is hearing auditory hallucinations and doing so with no marketing or advertising whatsoever doesn't seem like a good idea

Ive seen ads for this on streaming services

imo conceptually it sounds cool but most of the songs dont live up to their potential

Take dis story to a local TV news station, da HOA and police will pay attention den tbh

this is good advice too

local news love shit like this

as an extension of that idk how big your city is but this is the sort of thing that my local news might pick up if i just posted this on my city's subreddit

here's a screenshot I took three months ago of the basic framework of this level I'm working on

it kinda sounds like they're discriminating against you

do you present as queer or andro?

lawyer up if u can, it'll cost like 500 bucks but the lawyer should be able to send a C&D to the HOA and threaten to sue under ADA and title ix for unfair treatment.

Yeah this was my thought too

seems like there is some obvious discrimination going on here

there is almost certainly some legal avenue for you here

the threat of a lawsuit at all would probably even fix this real quick

Get a lawyer imo

wtf I feel something like that would be a permanent taint and well known along the likes of lostprophet. He never got convicted for anything?

wouldn't the more obvious explanation then be that he said it to shock and offend, as I said above?

in 40 years he was never charged with anything, he was never accused of anything, and loads and loads of people had nothing but nice things to say about him when he died

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

That tutorial also sets it up so that everything is super customizable, things like air speed and drag, slope angle you can stand on, double jumps, etc

its still the foundation of what Im using in my game (although I definitely have to fine tune movement and will probably add some different physics to make it feel better)

my personal project for the Unity tutorial took like a month tbh. The more in depth you get the more you learn and thats really all youre doing it for

C-zom posted...

For sure. How are you approaching the modeling? Using Blender?

Yeah Im using Blender, and sort of learning as I go

the way Im approaching it is that this is a prototype and Im going to have to go back and polish everything up, so Im trying to strike a balance between learning what I need to, and also not spending too much time on any specific projects object. Im already way better at it than a few months ago when I started

Robot2600 posted...

wow, it's looking great! it's come so far!

i remember when you started this thing.

Thanks!

Did you ever look at that tutorial I shared in my last topic? Its specifically about moving a sphere in a platformer

I'm currently not finding a home between godot, unity, or unreal.

Im pretty satisfied with unity, but Im also not using any third party tools or add-ons. Both to not spend any money on it at this stage and also to learn how to do things myself

its also what I picked to learn a couple years ago and now Im just familiar with it

GATTJT posted...

TC, just a suggestion, you can pitch your game to Humble Games and if they like it they will fund you in advance. Obviously there is no guarantee they will accept, but you might want to look into it

Is this something they still do? I found a link but its dead

tbh that would be really cool, but also my plan is to work on it until I have a slice of the game resembling a real game, then maybe consider looking for outside funding. Right now I have a newborn and a toddler, and I make too much money at my real job to consider giving that up and making this something I work on more than 2-3 hours/day after they go to sleep

there are also some indie studios in town, and I noticed that the founder of one of them is getting recommended to me on Facebook as a people you may know through mutual friends, and Ive thought about trying to use that connection in some way but again, Id want to have something real, and the ability to dedicate more time to it

was about to post yesterday to bump it but I got distracted by a crying baby

I've been working on what will eventually be a semi-open/metroidvania inspired 3d platformer inspired by Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie games. So instead of a hub world where you enter levels, each self-contained level is connected to others by branching paths.

right now I'm working on nailing down mechanics and setting up a basic tutorial level that introduces mechanics.

Here's a little video I had posted in the last topic:

https://youtu.be/cbmvUK_suO0

here's a new section I've been working on the past couple days:

https://youtu.be/ktP82dYh6z4

anyway I'm just going to post updates here, a bit of a blogfaqs since sharing helps keep me focused and also sometimes helps with solving issues, but I'd also like to see if anyone else has anything they've been working on and would like to share/discuss

You're clearly most partial to Playstation and anyone can see it. The idea that one needs ultra expensive dedicated gaming PC is also a tired fallacy. I've played on school laptops before.

you're of course under no obligation to click through the link in my sig but if you did you'd see I do most of my gaming on Switch and have more Nintendo games than any other console maker. In fact, I didn't even turn on my ps5 from May 2022-October 2023

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when other Nintendo fans post in here. They are clearly coasting, and milking their old games, and it's such a bummer to me that people settle for that

you can play all PS4/Xbone games on PS5/XSX, and they have have subscription services to play basically the entire catalog of PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP and Xbox/360 games and yet people get excited for nintendo porting a couple old games a year and occasionally adding NES-N64 games to their service?

I'm particularly salty about Switch ports of Wii U games as a day one Wii U owner. No $10 upgrades like the other guys, nope, if you want to play the Mario Kart 8 DLC (because they didn't even make a new one this gen!) you have to rebuy the game for full price and then buy the new DLC. Want to play 5 hours of new Mario content? Buy Super Mario 3D World again for full price

Nintendo have so many franchises and they've barely touched any of them this gen. They made "next gen" feeling entries in the Mario and Zelda franchises and then nearly everything else has gotten by-the-numbers sequels or lazy ports/remakes

i just hope they've been working on something to surprise us all for switch 2

GiftedACIII posted...

Because the PC is a very accessible platform most gamers have access to. There's a reason so many people claim Xbox exclusives going to PC have made it redundant. And now that Playstation is following that direction the same applies. The reason why people mainly talk about exclusives in these discussions should be common sense but I get you need to lose a bit of common sense when it comes to trying to present your favored platform in a better light than it has.

I dont have a favored platform. I have the money to afford every platform and all I want is good games

(if anything I want nintendo to be my favored platform because when they actually put in effort they do make my favorite games)

a gaming PC is not something everyone just has, nor is it something that is a trivial amount of money. Its as much of a major purchase as a new console

Fucked that there isnt an upgrade option for owners of the original but I guess thats Atlus for you
