Got the new Cities Skylines, fun times fun times! Got a weird fixation on a six-sided grid as opposed to the regular right angles and all. It's obsessive, I can't stop. It's like some kind of curse. Or maybe even a hex!

@scribus I have hundreds of hours in the first one and the second one is driving me absolutely insane because of how much more in-depth it is, I can’t approach things the way I did in the first game because the first game didn’t have apple like air pollution, so now I gotta not put my factories upwind of a suburb. This is a good thing, I get sort of complacent in how I game, it just surprised me how much the game tries to kick old players’ asses in some regards.

@zeldatra I spent half an hour relocating a water pump and even the road leading up to it, trying to get better than 10% efficiency. Then I found out that it actually needs to be fully staffed to be fully functional :o

@scribus Virginia. Kentucky. Louisiana. Only three states in the entire country where this is an annual thing. Can you imagine the junk mail volume? It’s a lot.

the kosher section of the store is expanding into the halal section and it’s causing some problems
Sunday, 29-Oct-23 21:34:30 UTC from web-
@scribus true story: the fact that my store only has a kosher SECTION, rather than a kosher AISLE, resulted in me being called an antisemite by some elderly Jewish lady, like a) I was the one who decided this, and b) the section wasn’t as large or larger than the halal, latino, Italian, Japanese, German, etc sections on the same aisle

So is it just me, or does the word "ret*rd" seem to be coming back around on the ol' euphemism/dysphemism treadmill?

@scribus i noticed not only this but also the usage (or implied/cut off usage) of offensive words for shock comedy has also been back on the rise since wound 2021 or 2022, and very little complaints about it unlike before. Not certain what the cause of he change in attitudes was.

In Yakuza 7, there’s a particular endgame boss with a one-hit KO move that you need to prep for in advance by using one of Ichiban’s defense moves to tank the hit. I did not know this until after the fight was over, because he attempted it once on my healer, missed, and then apparently got embarrassed because he never tried to use it again after that.
Sunday, 15-Oct-23 00:42:07 UTC from web-
@zeldatra You were so lucky. I had to fight that boss probably a dozen times. I had to switch up my whole party because of him. Without I couldn't get over that difficulty spike.
-
@adiwan with that longass dungeon just before the fight, if I had to go back and change ANYTHING about my party I’d have probably just rage quit and not come back to the game for a couple of days.

aww damn Dick Butkus died

@scribus I know it's disrespectful to laugh about other people's names and dead ones but I've read that as "Dick Buttkiss".
-
@adiwan Yeah; I'm sure it had nothing to do with his reputation as a "mean" player on the field....

@scribus not that I really followed his career, but “probably deserved it” is one of my all time favorite replies to any angry tweet ever

Soo... how 'bout that Unity blowup? !vgp
Sunday, 17-Sep-23 00:44:43 UTC from web-
@scribus Unity is in the red for years and buying Weta wasn't cheap so they were grasping for the most stupid decision to gain (repeatable) revenue by choosing to get paid by the amount of installs of the games. The problem is that indie game developers have very little profit and it can cost more in the long run than it gained profit. Also the way to determine the amount of installs is not clear. The last information I heard was that Unity wanted to use a heuristic to guess the amount of installs. Also Unity did that decision out of nowhere and tried to cover their tracks by sneakily removing paragraphs in their license that would hinder that license change. Unity had image problems (being used for asset-flip games, taking a lot of time for updates and being behind on the technical side) before but that was a huge kick in the balls to devs and all people who bought games made with Unity.
-
@adiwan their president also sold 2000 shares just before the install thing was announced, adding up to about 50k in the preceding year. seems bad
-
@zeldatra Him being at EA before that goes great with that... I read that that amount of stocks was only a very small percentage of his stock holdings. Still looks scummy.

Very cool and normal that you need to limit your game to only use two CPU cores in order to do the fishing minigame, SEGA.
Friday, 15-Sep-23 02:50:56 UTC from web-
@scribus game crashes if it has access to too many resources on this one minigame in this one version of the game so I have to throttle it to keep from going insane while I’m fishing.

Weird thought I just had: do you think someone who doesn't know sign language would have an easier time understanding ASL or something improvised by another non-ASL-knower?
Thursday, 14-Sep-23 04:43:53 UTC from web-
@scribus Typed an entire response about how ASL would probably be the harder one only to realize that my reasoning applies to braille, not ASL. I found ASL somewhat easy to learn (could not use it today, though) and I’m crazy bad with foreign languages so maybe the answer’s in there somewhere?
-
@zeldatra According to 2 people on a discord server I'm on, one of whom has a non-verbal child, improvised is easier (and the ASL sign for "Hallway" and "Focus" are the same except for the eyebrows)

If you played all the Yakuzas as they were coming out, starting from Yakuza PS2, by the time you get to Yakuza 0 it probably starts to look like Kiryu actually died and the games that followed (in order, a samurai spin-off starring a real life historical figure with Kiryu’s face grafted on where he meets other real life historical figures who look like his friends and enemies, a prequel set in the 80s, and a remake of the first game with stuff that didn’t happen in the original release) are just his brain coming to terms with death

There are no restrooms in Washington DC metro stations. I had to venture into the city on Saturday to find a bathroom. Found a Macy’s. It was close enough. What I’m mad about is that in DC you get charged your fare when you leave the station rather than the way it works in Europe where you pay for a distance up front, so I basically paid $2 to use the bathroom.
Tuesday, 12-Sep-23 13:35:35 UTC from web-
@scribus In my city there are some but you have really look for them, as most of them are hidden. I used google maps today to look up where they are and I'm surprised that there are more than I thought. Even a place I regularly drove by had one and I didn't know until now. There are no big signs or like that. Most of them are near parks and they are hidden behind bushes.
-
@scribus Haha. Nah. I think they are there to reduce the eye sore of the out of place looking buildings.

OK well Moho keeps basic, fundamental necessities like "manipulating bezier handles" behind their $400 edition so I think they can mango themselves just on principle alone

@adiwan Like, I can get that over the scope of a 3D or even 2D "world" that the *absolute* position of a player character's sword swing is much less relevant than the (...well...) /relative/ position of the sword to the character. God, I wish it could just snap, or use guidelines, or snap to guidelines, or *any* kind of precision that's been available in draw programs since at least 1995. Ugh :shiver: I can't abide loosey-goosey, nosiree, not in this context at least. :p

@scribus my CGI models are all built in an incredibly stupid way that would make any other 3D artist pull their hair off so for this pilot I’ve had to go in and clean up some things in the event that somebody else has to look at it.

@zeldatra Know anything about Cartoon Animator by Reallusion? Looking for something that isn't OpenToonz or a massive monthly subscription for mostly one-off, here-and-there kind of little things.

@zeldatra One major thing I've got is just a simple geometric pattern I want to have rotating externally and counter-rotating on the internal designs, which tbh I could probably write in like eight lines of COBOL or something equally outdated in concept, lol
-
@scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.
-
@zeldatra 2 days into the demo and I think I may end up saying that I hate moho as much as opentoonz and I could have just made 360 god damned individual batcaveing exports from CorelDRAW by now for apple's kiwiing sake

I thought this site was dead for the last 6 months cause I kept getting this error. I tried different browsers and devices and same thing but today it finally worked. Anyone else have this issue? http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/876377
Thursday, 22-Jun-23 02:11:30 UTC from web-
@macpony55 I always get this with almost any browser I use. Only way I can get it to load conisistently is by using this macos app called fluid. Other than that it’s almost inaccessible for me lol. I don’t mind though, adds to the charm :)

@macpony55 Concerning. Looking into it

I’m questioning the wisdom of airing a COVID episode during the new Futurama season in much the same way somebody twenty years older than me probably wondered what the hell that Bush tax cut episode was about
Wednesday, 28-Jun-23 18:20:34 UTC from web-
@scribus More so in the sense that it was old news by the time the episode aired - the rebate was a pre-9/11 initiative, the episode aired in 2003, & even on the DVD commentary the writers acknowledge it was a bit of a dated topic at the time. Of course everyone gets the COVID episode, but it feels a bit LATE to do a COVID episode.
-
@scribus (I have been staying up way too late lately, that math should have been much more obvious)
-
@zeldatra oh, that would make sense. I'm terrible at comparative chronology or whatever, dates were always the worst part of history class lol

so like what should I post about on here? should I use it more like livejournal with long introspective effortposts about what’s going on in my life, or more like twitter and just spew off short little jokes and thoughts as they come? I feel like what excited me about having a place like this when I rediscovered it was being able to share my thoughts, feelings, and ideas without having to contribute to an already congested and overstimulating platform like twitter that vampirically feeds off your attention, but now I’m realizing I don’t know what I want to even say lmao.
