Game Development

It has been many months since GnomeSlice was able to post in chat. This post isn't to discuss the why or the how that lead up to him getting banned, it is a request for the other half of his ban to be lifted early. Enough is enough now, he has been banned for literally months, while still turni...

Alex M.

mostly because it's almost empty, save for the peripherals and when I'm there, my phone

GnomeSlice

I also got a 3 month ban on the arqade site for circumventing the initial (accidental) site suspension using a sockpuppet.

I knew it was a mistake, they knew it was a mistake, they banned me anyway.

oh man, Grace Note sure sounded serious there

sort of hot, especially for a girl

guy

girl-guy

WHATEVER

Noctrine

:O serious grace note

hasherr

@AlexM. I have something for you

Alex M.

is it your undying love?

Noctrine

So, what was the 6 month ban for?

Alex M.

he told someone to fuck off

MickLH

9:12 PM

GnomeSlice

I forget exactly.

Alex M.

that's on par with "I fucked your mom so hard list night she died" for gamers

Almo

looks fucking awesome mick

Alex M.

@MickLH hotline miami 3

you should have posted the screenshot, it would have won

man smart people sure do a lot of awesome shit with science

Noctrine

@MickLH So about that source :D

GnomeSlice

9:13 PM

It was some bullshit about how 'this site needs to be a place where people can feel safe', but when everybody else uses big words to make me look stupid or otherwise insult me all I can come back with is curses and I get banned

You're letting a child lead a conversation

Alex M.

hehe

MickLH

lol it's mostly the same as that demo I put together for Jon, except I made a new line tracer that does anti aliasing, and I made it color instead of monochrome

Alex M.

I like answered a question for the first time on the Arqade

and this happened

7

A: Importing games back into steam

Go to Steam -> Settings, and find this button: Click it, and you will see this: Add the location of your old library found on your HDD there, and Steam will immediately recognize it.

what the actual fuck

the guy just went with a half-baked answer which was just pointless considering my obvious solution

hasherr

Alright

I can't find it, sorry Al

MickLH

Now if I can stop being so fucking lazy, I'll get this thing running on GPU and crank the quality up super high

GnomeSlice

9:19 PM

A lot of my 30-60 min auto bans are for nsfw content

Which is probably my fault.

hasherr

@AlexM. I was going to give you a bunch of photos from an asian beauty pageant

But it turns out all the women in the photos were trans

Alex M.

I'm not really into that kind of stuff you know

hasherr

Haha, I'm aware, but it was interesting

Alex M.

I hope you're not thinking I'm some sort of weirdo who looks at celebrities and random pics of women on the web all day long

hasherr

And very relevant to what we were talking about

Alex M.

9:20 PM

it would be impossible for me to be that way

Noctrine

>>

<<

hasherr

No, it was just relevant and interesting. Different cultures are different.

Alex M.

due to my ego I immediately hate all celebrities

Noctrine

:O

hasherr

@AlexM. Wait, WHAT?!

lol jk

Alex M.

9:21 PM

@Noctrine y so surprised

I told you I'm most motivated to make progress when I'm the best in my team

that's because I can't stand having someone better than me in my team

@MickLH I missed you <3

GnomeSlice

there was the time one of the mods kicked me for no reason so I told him to fuck off and got banned

MickLH

<3

GnomeSlice

That one was worth it

Alex M.

lol

#fuckdapolice

GnomeSlice

hasherr

9:24 PM

Pfft

Oh, man, we really need to cool it now

Pip

@MickLH nice

GnomeSlice

This one guy ran for mod

Alex M.

I found a nice anime to watch

I hope so

GnomeSlice

So he unignored me because mods aren't supposed to ignore people

right

then when he fuckin lost badly

in The Bridge, Feb 4 at 22:32, by Frank

And now I can ignore @GnomeSlice again!

> The story involves five high school students—Taichi, Iori, Himeko, Yoshifumi, and Yui—who are all members of the Student Cultural Research Club. One day, they begin experiencing a phenomenon in which they randomly swap bodies amongst themselves. As these five friends face many different phenomena at the whims of a mysterious being known as "Heartseed", their friendship is put to the ultimate test.

sounds interesting enough

hasherr

9:26 PM

I don't like anime plots :(

Alex M.

I watched this one previously

The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat.

, also known by the shorthand and , is a Japanese light novel series written by Sou Sagara and illustrated by Kantoku. Media Factory has published seven volumes since October 2010. It was adapted into a manga series in 2011 and a 12-episode anime television series by J.C.Staff, which aired between April and June 2013. The anime is licensed by Sentai Filmworks in North America. Plot Yōto Yokodera is a second-year high school student who is arguably the biggest pervert at school. His problem is that he is not good at showing his real emotions. One day, his equally perverted best friend...

and was surprised to see it had real traces of depth and philosophy

hasherr

O_O

GnomeSlice

I've never been big on anime

The only VN games I've played are hentais

Alex M.

it was enjoyable

while it didn't go into great details with everything, it allowed you to get some starting points to think about stuff

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. did it have hentai?

Alex M.

9:28 PM

no

hasherr

omg

MickLH

gay

Noctrine

@hasherr Some anime have amazing plots

Alex M.

the pervert stuff was like 20% of the whole anime

hasherr

@Noctrine Some do, I'm sure.

Alex M.

9:28 PM

the rest is about people not being happy with their current state

MickLH

@Noctrine wait, which source?

lol

Alex M.

people needing to take care what they wish for

time travel

and more stuff like that

Noctrine

@MickLH Synth :D

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. boring

MickLH

Lol had forgotten until now

Alex M.

9:29 PM

@GnomeSlice maybe

not for me that's for sure

GnomeSlice

porn > feelings

Noctrine

@hasherr Most are pretty stupid. The stuff that comes from Light Novels are generally better, along with the things that weren't originally manga.

Alex M.

@GnomeSlice hentai in japanese doesn't really mean porn you know

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. I wasn't talking about japanese specifically

Also no I didn't know that, but I also didn't assume that's what it meant.

I don't know any Japanese

Alex M.

it's a 1:1 equivalent of "pervert" from English

hasherr

9:31 PM

@Noctrine Their culture is very different from mine. I have a hard time adjusting to their media interests.

MickLH

@Noctrine secure.szifler.com/epic/epic_src.7z

Alex M.

I almost downloaded a zip from Mick

MickLH

lol there's only like 10 exe files in it dude

Alex M.

knowing Mick, the zip contains something that rests in Noctrine's PC until Noctrine sends a random file to me, 10 years from now

which finally runs Mick's exe on my PC

hasherr

COMPUTOR SELF-DESTRUCT IN 5

Alex M.

9:32 PM

which shows a huge cock on my screen

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. lmao

Alex M.

@Noctrine I'm having a hard time finding any more like that damnit

Noctrine

I don't know, music is the thing I don't see Mick trolling or being less than serious about

@hasherr What have you watched? Ofc there is going to be a huge cultural bias, but most of it isn't so bad.

Alex M.

lol man I remember fooling two people that I hated into running my program, which was supposed to tell them how cool they were

it deleted everything it managed to delete in C:\

and told them they were 99% cool

GnomeSlice

music.monstercat.com/track/full-force

shit yea

that sound

Alex M.

9:34 PM

their PCs would stop working properly but they'd be happy because you know 99% cool

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. That's horrible

Alex M.

I know, how can anyone be so dense

one of them blamed the thing on his printer's driver

Noctrine

So, basically never run anything from Alex :\

Alex M.

pretty much

depends on whether or not you flagged me previously

Noctrine

Flagging just alerts me

Alex M.

9:35 PM

with all these jams going on

YOU NEVER KNOW

Noctrine

VMs only :\

MickLH

@Noctrine some development notes: the synthesis is not bandlimited, and even if it were the wavetables are trapezoidal which introduces new harmonic distortion

Alex M.

lol, that could work

make a VM to test my games

IEEE Spectrum
Spit-powered fuel cell generates enough wattage for lab-on-a-chip devices http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/green-tech/fuel-cells/tiny-microbial-fuel-cell-runs-on-spit

Noctrine

I'm mostly going to try adapting it to some hardware and a gui. Your maths are too much for me :(

MickLH

the *WaveSinc* functions are extremely broken also so don't enable them

Alex M.

9:37 PM

> Spit-powered fuel cell

watt

C WUT I DID THAR

GnomeSlice

I see watt you did thar

MickLH

there's something else but I can't remember lol, good luck!

Noctrine

lol

Maybe I should work with burner headphones first :p

GnomeSlice

mousechief.com/dhsg

MickLH

haha I don't think it will do that to you, although it does make it really easy to get a maximum amplitude sine wave out

geek007

9:41 PM

hi guys, i need a little help, how can split Byte[] array into multiple parts and rejoin them?

Icy Defiance

do you want a process or the actual code to do that?

Noctrine

@MickLH Yeah, I was playing around and my CPU usage shot up ridiculously.

Evan

This sounds like a need for fundamental language knowledge.

Grey

@Noctrine i blame mick

MickLH

@Noctrine there's a reason I limited the Oversampling to 4x :P

Icy Defiance

9:44 PM

no you should always blame the liberal media, not mick

Pip

@hasherr @Grey @joapet99 check out my most recent commit :P

geek007

@IcyDefiance you can show me some direction i can figure it thr, 1st is it possible?

Noctrine

Hey minor league, do I at least get a special thanks for the name :(

GnomeSlice

vzxbvhkbhkjbnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnmnjnjm,nm

Pip

@hasherr @Grey @joapet99 I fixed all the headings, made the screens files valid code, cleaned up Joa's component and button classes, added a ReadMe, and some more stuff

GnomeSlice

9:46 PM

kitty says hi

Pip

@Noctrine ofc you do

Icy Defiance

@geek007 entirely possible, but also slow, because it sounds like you'd be copying the entire array, then copying it back again. what's the reason you're trying to do this?

hasherr

@GnomeSlice Good job

Evan

A membership to this website should come bundled with a carton of cigarettes to help you manage the influx of stress.

Grey

This website creates stress?

hasherr

9:47 PM

@Pip We need to assign roles in the organization

Obviously, you, me, and grey are founders

Checking out commit

@Evan what stress

i don't smoke

@Grey creating stress for me right now, adding my current project to Alex's thread, because I'm realizing how horrible my totally uncommented code really is. :'(

Alex M.

I'm so relaxed when visiting this site

it feels like sex

but without sex

hasherr

9:47 PM

...

Alex M.

also I don't smoke either

and I automatically hate anyone who smokes near me :(

Pip

@hasherr yeah

MickLH

for good reason

I mean I would hate anyone who started spraying roundup on my face

Alex M.

I've had to live for 19 years with my dad who's a pro smoker

Pip

that sucks

Alex M.

9:48 PM

I've had enough tbh

MickLH

Why wouldn't I hate anyone who lights up a cig near me

geek007

@IcyDefiance i'm sharing a database over VPN, end point clients have better CPU, i just need to reduce upload/download time via VPN, if i can split Big Byte into small i can use muti-threads to do upload several parts at time with wide broadband

Pip

@hasherr I did a TON of work, comparable to Joa's spurt a while ago

hasherr

Well good job

GnomeSlice

smoking is for nerds

hasherr

9:50 PM

o_o

Pip

thanks

GnomeSlice

@Pip Except you.

Icy Defiance

@geek007 in that case, why split them? can't you just start each thread at a different point in the same array?

Alex M.

oh wow, posts about the friendzone on facebook

feels like 2011 again

Pip

@GnomeSlice huh? was talking to hash

Icy Defiance

9:51 PM

@geek007 but if you do want to split them, that's a syntax question, which you should be able to easily solve with a google search.

GnomeSlice

@Pip oh

Well, good

lol

hue

;_;

oi gnomslice what did you say?

BlueBug

9:52 PM

don't cigar. cigar is basically socially approved Math, IMO.

Pip

@Grey like it? should I merge to master>

Alex M.

@BlueBug lol

GnomeSlice

@AlexM. Where?

Alex M.

cigar is basically socially approved math

Pip

math? you mean meth?

Lasse

9:52 PM

I'm supposed to wake up in 6 hours, and I'm still trying to figure my code out

Alex M.

this is like that guy who said

GnomeSlice

Did I show you guys this:

►

Alex M.

religion without science is bling

Lasse

Meh, I guess i'm going sleep

Pip

funfun @Lasse

GnomeSlice

9:53 PM

It's my intro! =D

hasherr

@Pip Crystal blue sensaattionnn

Grey

@Pip updating source tree tho. let me look at it first and then see what joa and hash think of it before pushing

Pip

alright

@hasherr don't....

hasherr

JESSE

BlueBug

my typos its cuz me so high. This is what happens if you cigar kids.

Alex M.

9:53 PM

WAIT WAIT WAIT

Grey

SPOILERS @hashher

Alex M.

I DIDN'T TELL YOU GUYS

geek007

@IcyDefiance i get that byte array from file.readallbyte method, so i dont know how i can find fix point

Alex M.

so, I go open up my mailbox

Pip

@Grey joa should be fine with it, I stole his changes and improved them

Alex M.

9:54 PM

and find a piece of paper with a QR code on it

naturally I'm curious and I read what's written on it

Pip

@Grey @hasherr what do you think of this?????

Alex M.

it says

"Scan this QR code to find out about other locations where we celebrate our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's death."

what the fucking fuck

hasherr

K

Alex M.

Jehovah's witnesses are so modern nowadays

Noctrine

:O

Alex M.

9:55 PM

soon they'll have their own Android apps

"Faith Shield" $4.5

it's an image that changes when you touch it

Noctrine

Man, got a recent watchtower. Don't know when they got new graphics designers, but it was pretty welld one.

Alex M.

what's a watchtower (in your context)?

Almo

magazine from jehova's witnesses

Noctrine

It's one of their pamphlets

Alex M.

oh, got it

I got the obi wan kenobi one

like, 3 months ago

Almo

9:58 PM

Jesus was so definitely a white guy.

Alex M.

hahahha

I just noticed the gypsy in the middle

"HURRRR ITS FINE TO STEAL AND KILL

AS LONG AS I APOLOGIZ TO JESUS"

BlueBug

Jesus so handsome. Jesus; the old time rock star.

hasherr

The biggest elephant in the room of all time

Jesus was a brown guy.
