My favorite game genre, the 3D adventure/platformer, is almost completely defunct. The only thing left of interest to me are physics experiments, which are isolated events by nature.

I realized that I can't touch certain kinds of fabrics and it would probably be a pain in the ass to make sure you picked the right kind, but otherwise I would want one.

See the light ahead, it's bright ahead, ALALALSLLLS WELL.

Mooorreeee

Awesome. Its score is undeserved, but I 5d to one day change it all.

Why do they need to live anywhere? I see absolutely no reason to go in to work to build something on a computer to go online.

Mainly, they're too lazy to build a more advanced algorithm than Axis-Aligned Bounding Boxes.

The complaint about "a million point checks" is faulty, because you can test everything for a bounding box collision, and then only use an object's proper collision function if its bounding box registers. You can also also use search trees to limit the number of checks. Furthermore, you would not use a "point check" of any sort - no one has used per-pixel hit checks in a real game since the 16-bit era, and trying to test a collision in terms of vertex positions is impossible in many situations.

Any collision between convex polygons can be tested for with the Separating Axis Theorem, which is also a likely choice for obtaining collision with tilted boxes. It's cheap enough that, except for many-sided polygons, doing an AABB check before the SAT check wastes more time than it saves. However, it relies on geometric vector operations like the dot product, not arithmetic as in AABB. When you don't understand what you're programming, it has a way of mysteriously breaking, even when you've copied and pasted the code off a website.

Fifty-fived.

Remember that TTS I wrote with the command line interface? Well now I've got this bit, so that a user can hear what the files are doing, and doesn't have to read my mind to know what they're doing to that poor machine. It has invisible bugs and many gaps, so I'm not releasing it, but I thought I'd let y'all know what's going on in Loki Clock's R&D Department.

Usually the DM is left to make the antagonizing happen. That's kind of his thing. The way to do that is to have 1-on-1 development games with the DM for behind-the-scenes plotting. The DM isn't supposed to have a completely prewritten story, no, but if they have nothing in mind there's no direction and it gets boring. If they can plug the evil into another arc, that will work, but you surprised him and doing both sides will mean putting his idea on the backburner, forking the players' goals, or only if compatible merging them.

How is payment done?

I'm pretty sure they're masturbating with their foot on the button.

Quote from: Insomnia;1823349Learn Chinese, those mufuckas takin over.

I wonder if I could. Japanese was too abstract for me, and Chinese I expect would be even more so.

I took a German course this Spring. At 0:51 of this randomly selected video I had, for the first time, the feeling of total comprehension of whole foreign clause - not just getting every word and being able to assemble the meaning immediately after, but actually processing it in the moment and capturing the exact emotion of everything. I have not had that with any other language. Obviously not Old Norse, but nor Icelandic or German. To me this sounds like an Icelandic person (compare pronunciations for "líkami, leyfa") with German and English words thrown in. "Zoveel [potenzionelle]" cued me to start processing in-the-moment. More than knowing the words, it was clearly seeing the emotion of "so much potential." Then the next part sounded like muttered English, and the end like funny German. After that moment I tried to stay in the act and ended up being able to understand almost the whole video.

Oh boy.

It feels like it's really building up to something. The part before 1:51 with the fading-in note could be perhaps a measure or two shorter, so it doesn't overrepeat. I would give yourself a minute to get used to how it sounds now, sing it to yourself and rock it in your head until you start hearing how you would want it to go from there as a listener, then make what you hear.

I was worried this would happen. Once we open the gore gates, The Clock Crew will become nothing more than a haven for rubberneckers posting guns-a-blazing smileys in threads about the arrest of violent criminals while secretly masturbating over the leaked photos of the victims' naked corpses.
