@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?

@scribus Haha. Nah. I think they are there to reduce the eye sore of the out of place looking buildings.

@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 since I did end up paying the fare, I guess it’s by design in this case. DC metro has a $2 maximum fare on weekends, and you only pay when you actually leave the metro system, so if I had just held it all the way back home I’d have gone from the far end of one line in Maryland to the far end of another line in Virginia and only paid $2 for the roughly hour and a half journey. Instead I paid four dollars because I had to leave that one station for five minutes.

@scribus I want the ivy to be exterminated. I don't allow it to have a second chance on my land. The main stem at one spot was as thick as my ring finger.

@scribus Yeah. Preserving jars are almost the same in that regard. It's cheaper to just buy stuff that's sold in a preserving jar than to buy them empty. A family member has some apple trees and the preserving jars I collected were used to preserve apple sauce made from these apples.

@scribus I watched it on Netflix. I don't really give an recommendation to watch it but it's something to waste time on, best for doing something on the side "watching" it.

@scribus I think the creators had a lot of internal conflict on how to create an epic and make the episodes episodic, like Futurama and Simpsons. I fully agree with you. I really liked the characters, some more, some less, but none were truly terrible (even Elfo to some degree). It's just that the plot made all of them brainless and stupid stretching all of the characters to an unrecognizable form. Fast-forwarding a lot of the plot didn't help. In this season, multiple times, there was no reason to stop a chase but it happened despite no reason at all.

@scribus Belated, but it was sweet and spicy garlic sauce uwu

@scribus Thanks. The bill was 65€ for that. I will certainly suffer for pleasure of owning a home, especially since there was nothing done for over 40 years and has still wallpaper from the late 70s. What has to be done: New switch box (solar power ready), new electric cables, new windows, roof isolation, the wilderness of a garden needs to be tamed. Also when I'm at it I'll lay down network cables everywhere, at least CAT7 and glass fiber.

@scribus You made me hesitate with your remark, however as I look up images of giraffes being born, they usually have spots.

@scribus Musk made Xcrement out of Twitter. Somewhat fitting for Twitter, being the outhouse of the Internet.

@scribus Could be worse. You could wear those novelty house slippers that make a "fun" sound when making a step.

@scribus how are you ?

@scribus To be totally frank: I have a long history of having many dead characters and stupid moments initiated by my dumb decisions. This time, I swear, wasn't the case.

@scribus It's a female lizardfolk grassland druid with the name "Chamilia Moonsicle". This type of druid is not a tank. With the natural armor and a wooden shield she has 16 AC. Not bad but still too squishy for my taste.
The first down-to-zero-HP moment happened as she examined a weird barrel that happened to be a mimic-like animated creature. The next time it was a Quickling she managed to percieve (Quickling moved extremely fast) and followed a few steps out of the door, where she got stabbed 3 times with high damage rolls. Then she was hit to the head with a sling by a goblinoid savage (having little HP at the beginning of the battle didn't help either).
I didn't play unreasonable and not without caution but it was more dumb luck than anything else. -
@scribus Just a hunch: Are the objects in a hierarchical structure? If so then it's clear why it doesn't work. The coordinates are in relation to the parent's transformation matrix's spanning coordinate system. For example in Unity game objects are in a hierarchical structure and each transform component has only local coordinates. In order to get world coordinates transformed to local coordinates they have to inversely transformed through the whole hierarchy (matrix multiplication with inverted matrices).

@scribus Definitely look into using Blender, make the assets in like Inkscape or something, export them either as high res transparent PNGs, import them into Blender as planes, light uniformly, place the camera above the assets looking straight down with an orthographic lens, animate the assets, render out using Blender EEVEE which renders in seconds using consumer graphics hardware.

@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.
