The game jam rankings are published https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/vaguely-named-horse-game Not too bad from 3206 entries. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875651

@scribus Overall top 8.3%! I'm more proud of the "Fun" category, which is in the top 2%. The Overall category is wishiwashi and undefined.

So uh, how long has registering new users been busted? It's fixed now.

@ceruleanspark You call it busted. I say it's an effective anti-spam-account measure.
-
@ceruleanspark I mean I haven't registered since day one so

Great! From formerly 4 Corona-infected it has jumped up to almost 80 in my area. 0.032 % of the local population.

Damn. I bought another 3D printer.

@adiwan @scribus Not much of a point either, since we already have metal 3D printing in the shape of 4+ axis mills. You just put in a sufficiently big piece of metal and load the 3D model to the CNC software and let it work.
Mill of hot extrusion, metal printing will stay too dangerous and expensive for domestic use for at least a few decades I think. Most homes don't even have the space to fit the machinery or the wiring to run it. -
@nerthos Oops, *mill OR hot extrusion

My company laptop is so configured that it automatically locks the screen after 15 minutes of inactivity. There is no way to alter its behaviour because this was set by the admin via a policy. HOWEVER I used a AutoHotkey script that wiggles the mouse by one pixel back and forth once every 14 minutes.

@scribus I'd say it's a creative workaround. I also could use a slightly flaky optical mouse that glitches from time to time and moves the mouse cursor slightly despite standing still.

An actual-factual Pinkerton, huh?

@scribus suddenly remembering that the Pinkertons sued Rockstar Games over their “unflattering” portrayal in Red Dead Redemption 2.

@mrmattimation Well if they hadn't left themselves an unflattering history. . . .

@scribus man if I knew ANYTHING about Final Fantady romhacks (well, anything about Final Fantasy, really) I’d actually give my opinion. As it is I don’t even really know what a “Shinra” is.
-
@mrmattimation No worries; Shinra are from 7, not 6.

I'm somewhat unhappy with Unity's HTML5 WebGL export. I have exported my game jam game https://adiwan.itch.io/lasso-loop-whiplash-webgl and it has ugly z-fighting and weird lighting issues at some overlapping geometry. I looked into everything I could, like adjusting the far and near plane or all shadow and lighting settings. I'm stumped. The compiled versions are fine.
Thursday, 08-Oct-20 14:23:23 UTC from web-
@scribus There has to be some limitation beyond the obvious. I had to change the color range from linear (HDR) to gamma because it was a hard requirement for that. My developer friends are also stumped and cannot help me with educated guesses other than what I've already done.

@adiwan The "natural" approach makes sense, too. If I'd come to it fresh, it may have been different. May have a totally different experience going back to it
-
@scribus The "natural" approach always has some baggage to it. If you're used to drive a lot of remote cars/planes/boats you're fine with tank controls. Some games work better using a mouse pointer to command the character to walk to (Diablo or any good Point & Click adventure). Such decisions are huge and always wrong (for some people).

how many prop guns can you buy before the government starts asking if you're planning to rob a liquor store with them

I keep thinking about going radio silent for a week, then killing myself when nobody cares that I've gone

@scribus now that would be no good, and also now that you’ve mentioned it it’ll always be in the back of someone’s head
-
@mrmattimation Yeah, I know... I'm just so tired. Things were going badly enough before 2020 landed. I was supposed to get things together this year. Everything has just become such a drag, I don't even remember hope.

I don't know if dude meant to do it, but he ended up making just about the best possible fan video for "Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)" https://twitter.com/jonathanfly/status/1300976651380109313?s=20

@scribus Impressive. Too bad there are a ton of cut-off faces (chin). With a little bit more care in the selection of source faces it'd be a lot better.
-
@adiwan Yeah, it was an experiment at this point, but a dang promising looking one! You know, if you disregard deepfakes and just think of neat computer morphs for their own sake, or improving movie CGI FX.

For the self-reported healthiest and smartest (don't call him that) it's highly sus.

@mrmattimation Oh. That's a bit of an overreaction? I don't know.
-
@scribus It'd be very ironic if he died from COVID. Who would be the one running for the presidency?
-
@adiwan By my understanding, Pence, by default. If Pence is unable, and the Party wins, or if the Party wins and then the candidate is rendered unable, then the Party gets to just appoint someone from their ranks. I think? Never really been in the position, myself, haha

How soon after the President dies from Covid is too soon to make a cartoon about it

@mrmattimation I'd say, have it handy.

@adiwan Indeed, I suppose I could "catch it live when it airs" or source an "alternative" "home media" . . . :p
-
@scribus I have, for the most part, no other choice than to get those "alternatives" when it comes to getting the original English audio, or even for seeing the newest episode on day of release.

that debate's gonna keep me up at night. mostly because every time i think about how awful that was Donald Trump personally comes to my house and tells me I'm wrong

Well, I got off the phone with some dork local politician. Told him four times now I'll never vote for him; might still, haven't looked into his positions. But, he needs to be punished for daring to spam me. E-mail, said "Leave me alone." So he calls, I say "Seriously, no." So he has some rando volunteer text me. Like I said, maybe he is the best guy for the job, but he's still an asshole and mango him for that!

@scribus my former congresswoman’s grapety grandkids or nephews or something kept coming to my house and telling me to vote for her. That’s why she’s a former congresswoman.
