  • I did his "optimized" shading trick for a game my friends and I built for a coding project in school.

    Because the project was due in three hours and we realized that we didn't have any menus. So it was a matter of getting anything functional as menus(stage selection, button mapping, main menu.)
    So the game itself capped at 60fps on the potato school computers, but the static menus only got 20fps.

  • Yup. Hes right wing it was a gamble going for him to avoid to far worse Poilievre. That at least I still stand by.

    The rage worthy thing is that prior to the election he was openly resisting Trump.

    That is he revealing himself to be Carney the Coward instead of Carney the Courageous is really bad. Good thing the Bloc will never allow Carney to sell out our Dairy, so we have at least some degree of food security. Also good my partner and I know enough French to move to Quebec if things get bad.

  • Simple:

    He and his crew had 2 years of prep for Lotr, storyboards, finding locations, making props and sets, etc.

    New Line Cinemas forced him to do that same prep in 6 months for the Hobbit. Allegedly they didn't even fully finish the script and had to cut in Del Toro scenes.

  • There is a shifting of themes that basically tracks with the corporate takeover of the US government.

    1. (1993) Companies fucking around with systems they don't understand is the problem. Rich guy underestimates nature.
    2. (1997) Rich guy learned lesson. Corporate greed did not.
    3. (2001) post-dotcom crash: A rich fucker and his stupid family learn the lesson about the company that fucked with nature. Governments are bad for not interveneing.
    4. (2015) post-Birther: Company and its rich founder are naive and innocent. US Government and US education are the bad guys.
    5. (2018) Corporate suits are the good guys. Science is the bad guys.
    6. (2022) A (suddenly) European company is the bad guys. Science is again the bad guy. Americans are the good guys.
    7. (2025) The US company and Military are the good guys.
  • Ex had gallbladder issues that ran in the family.

    One night she had bad abdominal pain. Drive over and rush her to hospital. Gets in 15 minutes. Nurses provide aid and pain relief, night shift ER doc looks her over, determines is likely gall bladder and it needs to be removed based on pain. Morning doctor looks her over, says it's not bad enough to warrant immediate attention, sends her home with painkillers, an appointment for an ultrasound and a 6 month-ish waitlist for removal.

    --

    Two nights later, same story, she opts for an ambulance this time. This time the same night shift doctor stays a bit late to ensure that she gets an ultrasound right away.

    Gets sent home after the ultrasound and told that they will phone with next steps same day.

    11am, go back to the hospital, get told that she is being admitted for immediate gallbladder removal. Ended up taking a day and a half to get to the surgery because of a bad motorcycle accident then two emergency c-sections tired out the only surgeon available and his staff over a straight 24 hour shift. 8 hours sleep and she was first up. Got it out, follow up at a nurse practitioner to get the drain removed.

    Cost to us: $0

  • Because Carney is a fucking traitor.

    If he hasn't surrendered on the DST, the wealthy tax or the global minimum tax rate, he wouldn't have had to cut anything to increase the military budget.

    I dread to see what he surrenders to the US in his trade "deal".

  • The real way is you pull it off after a melee has attacked the thing with something.

    But crazy catapult shenanigans is more fun. Also, the 2nd method to get them bleeding. with the acid vials is absolutely RAW. 1.Free action to place a vial, or bundle of vials on the ground.
    2. Use catapult on it. 3. Catapult does damage to the thing it hits and to the thing doing the hitting, which destroys the vial(s), releasing the acid for that damage.

  • Use the Catapult spell to throw one of the following: A javelin at a target 3d8 bludgeoning plus, if you can try to get the DM to let you roll a d20 to see if the pointy end stuck in for an extra d6 piercing. At level 3, upcast this and launch a greatsword instead for an extra 2d6 and likely destroying the sword.

    If the DM is being a stickler: Get someone in the group to roll 2 levels of Artificer(potentially you as the wizard) get the alchemy jug infusion at level 2. Every day, provided the gang doesn't find out it can make a lot of wine or beer, you can make two vials of acid. Sell one per day to recoup cost of empty vials. Catapult vial at target, 3d8 bludgeoning and 2d6 acid on hit.
