That actually happened, but not from this PirateSoftware guy. The anti-woke godoters made their own fork, Redot, which, as you might have expected, doesn't do jack shit other than offering cosmetic changes

I'm pretty sure a currently 4yo nephew of mine will suffer some sort of bullshit like that in the coming years. Little bud is already able to read big numbers like 368 (also in english no less!) and full words despite the preschool not teaching either.

It's pretty easy on PC, with Steam itself and itch.io being pretty good for indies. Earning enough money from your game is a different story...

Very true. I vaguely recall someone on another thread saying a game is "unplayable" if it's not running 4k resolution and that PC gamers with 4k monitors are the majority

I hope Lovers Lab doesn't suffer the same bullshit of "oh noes, nudity and sex are illegal!"

Is there a SCP monster for EA or other big game company's marketing teams? Because they're a reality bending entity that creates unrealistic tasks that others are forced to do, despite knowing they won't manage AND will end up as lifeless husks either way

I'm over 30, but even when i was in my early 20s I couldn't stand the blaring lights. A HS friend built up a rig with full flashy RGB shit and I was like "why?" - He thought it was cool, possibly still does.

I mean, I'm supposed to look at the monitor, not the fan or the mouse. Keyboard blacklight is good, tho, so long as it's not red nor a dancing rainbow. Yellow or white are the best kb backlight imo

Thanks to big corporations effectively owning governments and big politicians the world over, things aren't bound to get better anytime soon, because "the economy". Fuck that shit

 

I made a pause menu, but there seems to be a "dead square" in the middle of the screen, where it doesn't detect the mouse hovering. The deadzone seems fixed in size and place, moving the menu out of the center makes the problem stop. So, something invisible on top?

Video showing the problem - https://files.catbox.moe/92kr8z.mp4

How the node is set up

The "OptionsWin" opens a new UI element, but moving it around doesn't change the deadzone, even if none of its elements are anywhere near the original pause menu.

Any ideas on how to fix this without having to offset the pause menu?

EDIT: Fix is my comment below. Should've tested it as an isolate scene first, that led me to looking into the player node and finding the problem. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

 

Wasn't actually today, but it's an interesting etymology. Old Arabian speaks "majus" because they lack a hard G sound, similar to Japanese lacking L sound

Also, for anyone interested, that means that the Magi who came to Jesus' birth with gifts were Zoroastrian priests

 

Title. I plan on making something using vector graphics, to simulate the old Flash style, stretching to accommodate any screen size and zooming in and out without losing fidelity is something I'd like.

Now, I know that I can import a svg file into a TileMap node, but it'll be rasterized and act just like a png. Searching around YT and google aren't yielding many results about using vector graphics with Godot.

I've been thinking about putting some stuff that I can only find on direct download sites up as torrents, but most places I can access either have fake sign up/login links, or have very strict rules, like torrentgalaxy requiring at least 5 uploads per month for 3 months

 

For instance: age of sexual consent, age for legally drinking alcohol, age for driving, age for voting, age for participating in pornography

Depending on the place, each of those requires a different minimum age. Why is that? Are some activities "more adult" than others? Using USA as an example: legal drinking age is 21, legal driving age is 16, age of consent varies between 16-18.

Not asking about different countries/states having different ages, but any single place having different ages for different adult activities

 

Some things that make it very annoying to me:

  • She complains whenever she can't find certain movies
  • She usually searches using the complete video title in the search bar, it's usually something like: Movie name - Complete Movie - Dubbed - Pirate Site or Uploader - Genre
    • She has a list of saved movie/video titles in a .docx file, where she also writes whether she liked the movie or not. Whenever a YT search shows something she thinks she'll be interested, she copies the title to the doc.
    • Will usually use that same search on Netflix, or continue typing and adding more despite no search results showing already.
  • Complains about video/audio quality
  • Complains when there's no dubbed version
  • Complains when the "movie" is just a trailer repeating for 1 hour
  • Seems to willfully ignore my explanations to why searching for and watching full movies on YT sucks (it's pirate content on a platform that doesn't allow piracy)
  • Ignores some 🏴‍☠️ alternatives I've set up, because "there's nothing interesting there"
  • "Forgets" anything I teach her about searching and search terms in 5 minutes

To be fair, most of the movies she "wants" to watch aren't available on any streaming services. Feels like I'm dealing with the world's worst pirate.

 

From the page:

A curated list of references for development of DOS applications and learning about the system itself. This includes list of compilers, tutorials, videos, links to free and paid books and source code to DOS games. The goal of this list is to collect information and act as a starting point for someone who wants to start out retro-programming for the DOS platform.

Title.

There's also a version on the Play Store, but you should definitely get the F-Droid version. It's the one with the full features enabled.

It lets you fully block some apps' access to the internet, including system apps. Depending on your phone manufacturer, like Xiaomi and Samsung, they can be extremely invasive and show ads on your stock apps.

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

  • "harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar
