I tried watching Sing Street the other night and it was a challenge. I eventually had to put subtitles on.

Any good? My parents were interested in that

And sometimes I wish I had a strong accent like that so I could confuse Americans. I just have to settle with my boring generic southerner accent

 

[Jobbs]

My girlfriend is getting dirty like an early 20th century railroad worker, designing new floorplans at a huge ass factory filled with grease, dust and leery old men.

So sexy.

that is kind of sexy actually

I'm not missing out

sure jan


and my computer just randomly conked. not even a blue screen. it just... everything went black. had to cold boot.

none of this ever happened before windows 10. I don't trust my computer anymore

You'd probably love it. I'm not big on 80's music and I personally have a hard time watching depressing movies about broken families, so it wasn't for me. My roommates liked it a lot though.

I don't want to be too lascivious but that thing I told you I was slightly disappointed about... well I can't complain anymore

Anyway, Windows 10 caused me problems too. I'm 90% sure. It does a lot more work in the background with RAM than OSes before as part of its initiative to be ever faster and snappier, but this can cause a problem on old or cheap hardware.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I haven't had any problems with Win 10. Other than sound issues at the very beginning, but that was solved by updating drivers.

 

[You Know Nothing]

OH HEY, ACCENT TALK

[Clydefrog]

I thought you were Spanish, not Dutch?!

 

[Funky Papa]

wow

This won't stand, Clyde.

Yeah, Funky doesn't sound like a Spaniard.

If I want Scalebound I'm gonna have to install it at some point. Though every fibre of me being doesnt want to.

Damn gurl. I do like lasciviousness, though

So my computer just crashed again and now I'm suspecting a hardware failure, which is really really maddening because I hate messing with this stuff.

Basically, the system just conks and the power switch on the computer won't do anything. After a while, hitting the power switch will cause the power light to come on for a split second then go back out. After a while longer it'll come on and stay on.

Through all of this, the various USB things keep their lights on, so I don't think it's a PSU failure.

I'm not sure where to start, I'd be liable to just trash everything if this isn't solved quickly.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

the time around halloween is one of my favorites. that and christmas

did someone fucking say halloween

fuck christmas

 

[Funky Papa]

Yeahp, that's Spanish all right.

 

[EatChildren]

One question I like to ask people to get an idea of how their headbrain works is for them to recommend me five movies/games/albums/songs whatever straight off the top of their head without over thinking it. No trying to make a list of your "top five movies" or some shit, even if the list does turn out that way, nor try to think what I want to hear or might like. Just give me the top five that instantly come to mind as obviously meaning something to you in some capacity. Proper love and resonance.

So imma asking you cunts the same thing; give me five movies that mean something to you, that immediately come to mind if someone said "give me five movies". Please.

(and if you feel like it feel free to do the same for albums / novels / games / doughnuts / whatever)

I don't know what to tell you. I can try and find a link to that RAM test I had going on. I'm not great at hardware though.

As for lasciviousness, let me paint you a picture

as an aside, do you ever get carried away drawing way too many particle effect variations?

Ghost Song completely wiped. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is a virtual impossibility because there are hundreds of backups from every stage of development and they are saved on multiple hard drives and in addition to that every so often I'll back it up to my remote FTP server

for ghost song to be wiped, every hard disk in this house would need to be destroyed AND the hard disk(s) that contain it at my host company would also need to be destroyed

Meh, it's a weird american Holiday, every time I've tried to celebrate it things have gone horribly wrong. It's just kinda shitty here in the UK, it's an opportunity for chavs to put on masks and act like dickheads.

It's so addictive.

as an aside, do you ever get carried away drawing way too many particle effect variations?

oh damn. :O looks like quite the night was had

and to answer your question, yes, of course, I get entirely carried away with particle effects because it's so fun and it adds so much. it brings things to life and makes doing things or killing things or whatever more exciting.

I have so many ideas about how to do everything better from the ground up next time. it's gonna be great

JOBBS ARE YOU NOT USING SOURCE CONTROL

should I be? I thought this was mainly relevant for teams. it's easy enough for me to keep my shit backed up

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

should I be? I thought this was mainly relevant for teams. it's easy enough for me to keep my shit backed up

I would. What would you do if you messed something up and wanted to go back to how it was? Or removed something but later decided you needed it? Would you have to get the entire backup?

Source control is good.

 

[liliththepale]

I don't use source control either. I just dummy out or comment out stuff I might need in the future but don't want now, and I save weekly backups to an external harddrive and online storage.

Sometimes I get carried away and put several dozen or even a hundred particles for a single event, especially on something with leaves or feathers or similar. The power of modern computing is so tempting to waste like that even though traditionally devs have had to be quite scarce with the effects count.

These splashes are just eight or nine sprites each though. I'm not simulating every last drop.

 

[Jobbs]

always carried away

it's fun just experimenting and seeing what type of effects you can achieve by spawning things in a sequence/pattern/etc. Those green gas clouds for example took a lot of trial and error

and a lot of my individual enemy types have as many as a dozen different gib graphics assigned to them for when they die.. arms, legs, torsos, head, misc chunks

Smoke and gas is tricky because I always want it to be on screen forever, but that can lead to tons of overdraw and fillrate issues if you don't pay attention. I don't like when smoke dissipates near instantly.

Am I noticing a rising haze in the background as well? I can't tell if that's an artifact of the filters you have on it and the webm conversion or just really subtle.

 

[DrM]

Went to the doctor, but she was not in her office due to some urgent private matters, so I need to go back on Thursday. Knee is much better and I can even walk normally

My girlfriend is getting dirty like an early 20th century railroad worker, designing new floorplans at a huge ass factory filled with grease, dust and leery old men.

So sexy.

Yeah there's a smokey haze rising. It's a pretty cool trick to do smoke. I was about to show you and my PC died again
