These days I don't really buy things ever, I mostly play free games if even that. Less hopeful of the industry, feel like I wasted money. Later purchases were more patient, but disappointment there only slowed it even further.
This is a me problem (and a lack of income), but I sort of see it as being patient to a fault.
something gets done and completed
I am talking within the context of mental/physical health issues and never having made anything close to a game. Personal despair, isolation, lacking viable options, collapse.
So it's more of an existential crisis. I am guessing there are probably some idioms about learning/practicing survival skills when the ship you're on is already sinking.
Would you spend your remaining time differently than you do now?
If so, why aren’t you already doing it?
Probably not as I am already stuck.
I am not aware of what I would do differently, where I would go, how I would reliably get there, and I don't have much money. Also I don't really have much contact with anyone.
And y'know, things aren't looking great with the news but that's all I'll say.
My guess would be it's the "safe" option especially if avoidance calculation isn't actually being done (also may not even work well with diff printer configs, multiple models). And yeah, slow Z travel.
Though I haven't done 3D printing in a while (I should have kept it simple) so I don't know. I would probably try to use some other print as a purge if possible, either via infill or just something that doesn't matter (utility or will be painted anyway).
I wonder how this compares to other similar services? (another I've seen used here is imgchest)
And specifically, is there one that allows you to edit alt-text (so it's there when you copy the markdown)? Folders would be nice, too.
Though one thing I can say is according to the FAQ .svg is (not un)supported which is interesting (something that didn't seem to work on imgur, at least when I tried it).
The topic and community have an unfortunate overlap for me, "patient" probably means I'm not doing it beyond some scattered attempts.
I have lurked with the ideas on different low-resource solo-dev specializations. I feel like the pieces are mostly there for me (Godot 4.4 will be closer to that), though I still need to put a lot of work in for no clear end-goal (I don't really want to really sell something, even if I could).
And thinking about the future (gestures broadly) just makes me feel like
I mean... pixel art. For sure it is hard in a completely different way than photorealism. Less to work with (for good and bad), and a new set of rules (for pixel placement). I'm sure there's multiple valid techniques (digital first, rough planning, individual pixel canvases/swatches or some other collage etc... not to mention cross-stitching or various building toys if you count that).
I don't see the appeal in re-creating artifacts, but I'm sure there are people who can make a convincing approximation (particularly if they know any of the technical reasoning for JPEGs).
If anything was really done, I assume it'd be just opening up (+incentivizing) immigration. Skilled labor/health/money probably will still be huge barriers, so I think the most effect it could have would be brain drain.
I am only interested in a niche compiled-to-<C/C++/JS> language due to the capability/speed while keeping readability. With that in mind, I wonder if Python's JIT and no-GIL update will slow or reverse the stated trend (assuming it's true at all).
Though it's still an issue with bindings for something I can already use with my preferred lang, so is one reason why I haven't tried it.
I mean yeah, this post is mask-on so it is benefit-of-the-doubt. I commented too (questioning the "golden age" bit though) and didn't notice until 5 hours later when I saw a (now removed) mask-off post by OP.
Unless it's a free community project, never. I don't want to see shameless self-promotion here.
I'm not going to say it's totally wrong, but I want to see that someone has reason to be here other than sales/hype.
I'm tired of publishers and thinly-veiled engagement-bait. Tired of (paywall) crowdfunding and "I quit my job 6 months ago to work on my...". Tired of seeing beta/market testing and these things endlessly stacking together, and potential bad outcomes to this (for users or developers).
According to the label? I just checked most of it (GV, McCormick) has no info whatsoever.
The exceptions are spice mixes (rotisserie chicken, old bay) and a single expired bottle of Durkee celery seed (maybe their other spices are like this, but afaik this is the only one we have).
Best I can do is try different spices when sautéing vegetables.
I got downvoted for a comment recently. My instance has up/down on by default and to me that somewhat softened the blow... to see that it wasn't all downvotes but roughly a 12 (updown) ratio.
EDIT: Also, you could of course have total+upvotes (or upvote %) if you wish, though I guess that doesn't work for posts which are mostly just the total (if set, upvote % only displays on hover)
= in a very "why are you booing me? I'm right." moment, my 2 explanation replies were not, yet did not seem to change future votes (though maybe that was not the reason in the first place)
I mean, can you really fault someone for not engaging frequently if they are browsing? Especially when it comes to posts, not everyone has a reason to post. The stuff I'd post is niche so thinking about the best place is tedious and previous attempts have been disappointing.
I'll block content/communities that I don't care anything about, but I'd rather not block users. I don't want to block interaction with someone just because I disliked one aspect of what they post/comment. I mean if you have that moment multiple times with someone (or if it's really bad), understandable.
The case: to me, a downvote is for something not worth a reply. Something I think is not beneficial (or has a context issue) that will likely not be changed with a response. Particularly if it seems in bad faith/taste (especially one I've seen before).
The opposite is also true, If it is worth a reply it probably isn't worth a downvote.
Though I also think about votes within their context, where I think the number should be. Which means I may refrain or even retract a downvote, given how others vote. Similarly I may upvote something I otherwise wouldn't.
Now I'm not going to disagree on helping others, but also I don't really have any reason or ability to leave the house most of the time either. Even less to interact.
EDIT: Oh ok, I see from a newer post that OP is a right-wing troll...
Never had one but have family who has their VR headsets and aren't really using them, borderline useless if you aren't willing to use their ecosystem. They were having some trouble with their accounts (probably related to account migrations) and seemed too unsettled by the paper wall of text about being part of an organization to unlock dev mode.
