Gets my recommendation too. If you watch it with others, note that some scenes will make prudish friends squirm (mainly thinking toothbrush scene and Nadeko's exorcism). It has lots of puns that don't translate, so knowing some Japanese or watching with someone who does is most fun, but the dialogue is so fast you won't notice if you miss them.

TheMuffinCoder

DONE WITH HW FOR TODAY :D

20 minutes of drawing for it is :D

TheMuffinCoder

00:37

Made a simple spider droid/turret with a firing animation :D

Time to animate the legs

Anko

"Guncrab" would make a great game name.

TheMuffinCoder

LOL guncrab would be a awesome name for that robot :D

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder niiiiiice

@TheMuffinCoder I don't know how you're making those gifs but you should check out Pyxel Edit, really useful dedicated app for 8-bit asset and animation creation

Kevin van der Velden

07:21

@TheMuffinCoder those are some cool sprites, the colors in the dirt ones feel a bit off though

Though if you're going for an alien planet they'd be cool

One of our concepts we are working on is a crab based game, will not likely see the light of day though

You know, Jenkins could just raise a warning when I try to create a project with an apostrophe in it. But noooo, that would be too easy. Instead it lets me do it, then throws random errors on configuration pages and whatnot, hiding the actual problem, and the error messages get almost no hits in Google. Thanks, Jenkins!

in The Bridge, 16 hours ago, by Kevin van der Velden

Because that would make your job easier! Why would we want to do that?

It applies here just as well

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden And also possibly restore my faith in humanity a little bit.

Hideo Kojima has left Konami

@Blue A knife is useless against those massive claws, they could rip a tank apart!

Blue

ARGH, CRAB BATTLE.

MickLH

Aghh! Broke my knife! Errgh! Crab Battle!

I had forgotten about that one for a long time

I feel intoxicated after staying up all night re-creating a song I heard.

Re-creating the instrumental only, I mean

Almo

13:26

@MartinSojka wtf man i hate shit like that

Almo

XWINGS ARE NOT ATMOSPHERIC FIGHTERS

man

I guess they are now. :(

Kevin van der Velden

Aaaaah @OMGtechy has a new avatar, I am scared

At least, I think it's new

Martin Sojka

13:56

Anyway, Jenkins with a Maven project set up. Not bad for half a day's work with something I never touched before.

OMGtechy

@KevinvanderVelden haven't been here since I changed it, so new enough

THE FACE IS UNMASKED

this is a run for a trophy, and he's doing it in one shot without resets. look how close it was to him fucking it up here, just before the rescue.

@Noctrine! Yes! Talking about autodesk products! Yes! This place is looking up!

Yes!

I know black magic now. I learned how quaternions actually work.

I've just used them so far without really understanding them

Damn it feels good to know some black magic

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@Jon Happy with the results of yesterday? :P

Jon

yep

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@Lasse should we summon the witch hunters? ;)

Lasse

@AlexandreVaillancourt not yet, I need to learn all about quantum physics before that

Alexandre Vaillancourt

18:43

Now we're guaranteed that nothing's going to happen during the next four years, hehe

@Lasse Ha, ok, I'll wait then!

Jon

wouldn't say nothing

but at least corruption might get fixed slightly

Alexandre Vaillancourt

For a time; parties that stay in power for too long tend to be too well installed, it's not good for the people.

Almo

cnn.com/2015/10/20/opinions/…

CNN says Harper ran surpluses.

he did, a few times, but ran deficits more often than not

Deryllium

@Noctrine Briefly. I need to take a proper look at it

Jon

at the end, he made sure there was no government spending, so he could indicate that there was a surplus during the election

Alexandre Vaillancourt

18:52

He put the axe in a lot of things, asked the scientists to shut up, forced the TPP. Running surplus is good, but then there was confusion about it, there was confusion about whether we were in a recession, and there was a lot of people (obviously) mad at him.

Jon

Not only did he tell scientists to shut up -- they were legislated to shut up -- and the press were not allowed to talk to them

Notice something reallly really wrong that is affecting the environment? Shut the fuck up about it.

Worked 12 years on some very important research? Shut the fuck up

Logistically, we are paying these scientists

We have the right to knwo what is going on

There was 0 sharing of information with the public.

Not to mention that the entire senate was stacked with people that obeyed him

And that most of them are being criminally investigated at the moment

Charging ridiculous things to canadians

SUCH AS, for trips from PEI to Ottawa every day --stating they lived in PEI, when they lived in Ottawa

Lasse

Yoshimi Tsujimoto - Smooth Criminal

Jon

Or, charging 6000 to go to a funeral

Why the fuck do I have to pay for that?

Meanwhile, if I accept a damn lunch from someone, I can get fired for soliciting bribes

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Because it's good for the economy :P

Jon

These peolpe need to go to jail.

But that is not going to happen... nope, they are going to continue living the good life.

Alexandre Vaillancourt

18:57

Yup, unfortunately.

Jon

This bullshit corruption is what makes mentally unstable people snap

They read about all this bullshit going on, and they want to do something about it

I know I want to do something about it, but what can one single person do?

The system is stacked against you

Alexandre Vaillancourt

"you can vote!" -- lol.

Unfortunately, it seems to be easy to scare population.

@TheMuffinCoder C# C# C# C#

TheMuffinCoder

LOL

I come in and thats the first thing I see

I not going to C#, there's no reason to use it for me

I want C++ since it'll give me : performance, more control, can port easily to android, good skills, force better practice on me :P

Almo

I don't agree with more control.

Using Unity, you get C# on android easy.

so that's that.

TheMuffinCoder

I dont like Unity much :P

Almo

performance... just fine in C# with care about how garbage collection works

c# is just as employable as C++

My point is just that you should pick C++ for other reasons than what you mentioned

TheMuffinCoder

:D well then I have no reasons other than I want to use C++ :^)

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

19:24

Do you also enjoy stabbing yourself in the eyes with a fork?

TheMuffinCoder

Nope ;) But I must had since I used to use Java for fun

@Deryllium :( its not free

Noctrine

Does it no longer have the free beta?

@TheMuffinCoder - pyxeledit.com/get.php "Free Version"

TheMuffinCoder

@Noctrine lol but that version doesnt have the animation feature

Otherwise it's useless when I have gimp :D

Noctrine

Ah, yeah. I never animated my sprites in the editor.

Almo

AWK IS FREE so you should use that for all your text processing needs.

I actually wrote a bunch of AWK back in 2000

javascript minifier and obfuscator

TheMuffinCoder

19:30

?

Almo

just look up awk. it will come up as a unix text processing system

the K stands for Kernighan, the guy who co-wrote C

TheMuffinCoder

lol I did, I was wondering how that related to animating sprites xD

Almo

it doesn't

you said "it's not free"

so if you like free use awk

it's free

TheMuffinCoder

oh xD

Almo

was a bad joke

:)

Noctrine

19:34

Basically "Some things cost cause they are worth it." ?

TheMuffinCoder

nah lol I'm finding a bunch of good free plugins for gimp rn :D

Deryllium

@TheMuffinCoder Pyxel Edit? I know. It doesn't cost much though.

TheMuffinCoder

9 dollars! I could buy 9 cheese burgers!!! :^)

Noctrine

19:57

Or a tool to animate sprites :D

TheMuffinCoder

true

But i'm only animating rn since i haven't started to code

Once I start working on my game all I need is a spritesheet and I can animate through code

LOL why I'm wasting my time with all these tools, I can animate with JavaScript in the meantime

Noctrine

Onion skins really help when you are working on the animation initially.

Saves you a lot of revisions.

Deryllium

Yeah, it's really helpful

Jon

20:20

@AlexandreVaillancourt da hell are you smoking

if ((transform.position.y < waterLevel) != isUnderwater) {
    isUnderwater = transform.position.y < waterLevel;
}

this if statement is flawed

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@Jon ahh hold on

Jon

Actually it might be fine, but regardless, how did you answer that guy's question with so little information? lol

Pretty sure you are not going to be able to help this guy :)

His comments... facepalm

Almo

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@Jon "da hell are you smoking" I'm not sure what you're talking about, actually. This is his code, and i changed it in mine?

yah sorry i just woke up

Almo

20:27

I'm with jon. it will be hard to help. But if you manage to, extra points. Could be worth trying :)

wow

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Well, I'm starting to realize he might be a lost cause

Almo

SE just went offline

back already

that was quick

Jon

@AlexandreVaillancourt he is showing those classic signs of "I have no idea what I am doing"

TheMuffinCoder

There we go :D

Almo

agreed jon

"those variables are in a different class and don't apply"

Jon

20:34

double facepalm

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@Jon agreed!

Pip

eyyyo

So @Jon

You know that Dell Optiplex 780 I was getting from school?

Jon

yah

Pip

welp

I blew up the PSU somehow

And it's proprietary

so no luck with that, it's been scrapped and the RAM stolen

On the flip side, however

Jon

LOL

Pip

20:46

My teacher gave me permission to scrounge around the room (and the few other rooms that we have for stuffz)

Jon

good ol' dell... a part fails? PC a complete loss

Pip

lol yeah

When I was looking around, I found something that I thought didn't exist because other people had taken them

want to guess?

Jon

hmmmm

hint

Pip

it's rectangular

lol

Jon

a video card

HD4870

Pip

20:47

nope, had a pretty crap one of those that worked already

I managed to save that before it got stolen, unlike the RAM

Jon

ok, i give up

Pip

A VisonTek something-or-other with 1gb of ddr3

so

I found..... drumroll please.....

Jon

drrrrrr drrrrr t dthth

TheMuffinCoder

DDR5??!??!?!

Pip

An ATX case that wasn't trash and actually fit a full-size motherboard!

TheMuffinCoder

20:48

oh :P

Jon

a VHS of back to the future 2

Pip

lol

Jon

a full tower case?

not really a great find, lol

you can get some practically for free on classifieds

Pip

It's a mid tower case but for whatever reason it fits a full-size mobo if you move the hdd bay

Anyway

the point here is not the case

Once I found the case, the teacher gave me a mobo that no one else could find a case for

Jon

ohhhhh

Pip

20:50

I ripped the pentium 4 garbage out of there

it's a 2010 gaming motherboard

3-way SLI

so it's old, but full featured enough that the only thing I could think of that was missing was USB 3

Here's the catch: it takes a Core 2 Duo (Socket 775)

which I happen to have from my old PC!

And it's got 4GB of RAM on it already

It's unfortunately PC2.... however it's a starting point for an upgrade path

And I'm thinking of buying my friends 780 TI first (benches better than a 960)

Huh, actually benches better than an 970 as well

Just to prove it: youtube.com/watch?v=QZxpljkrsm8

Almo

yt; dw

Jon

lol

@Pip I have a bunch of parts for that pc

what kind of mobo is it?

Almo

used to use that on the skeptic forums when crackpots posted endless youtube vid in response to carefully constructed mathematical criticisms of 9/11 "truther" bs

Pip

@Jon Haven't figured that out yet. It has a bunch of Nvidia logos on it, and an EVGA logo (probably for the SLI stuff)

Jon

@Pip Pretty sure that mobo won't suport a 780

Pip

21:03

Haven't looked at it too closely yet

Jon

EVGA is a motherboard maker

Pip

probably an EVGA mobo then

It might, it uses PCIe x16, three slots with SLI-compatiblity

Jon

ah

I think it might be PCIe 1.0 though

might be different voltage

Pip

It was (according to the person who gave it to us) a $200+ board when he got it

I will find out

Jon

Also -- make sure the powersupply has the video card thingy to connect, otherwise you will need that converter part

Pip

21:04

Yep!

@Almo a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/10/10/international.download.nvidia.com/…

Crazy that old board has PCIe

Pip

Yeah, I'll find out what it is

Jon

21:06

make sure the card supports the version

more than likely it is a 2.0

Pip

yeah, I'm not just throwing it into the board and seeing if it works :P

Almo

@Pip but I don't really care about hardware specs. :)

Pip

:P

Almo

last time i cared about specs was in the Amiga days

when that failed massively, I decided hardware specs are irrelevant, and I started to focus more on software.

Jon

Amiga is such a lame name

They should have called it the Giant

60 FPS, very few frame drops. Layers and layers of parallax scrolling backgrounds.

c64 demos are better :OP

Almo

the crappy youtube vid does not do it justice since it tears.

on the amiga it was rock-solid, due to being vsynced

Jon

i like how the enemies just fall behind the floor

Almo

:D

i managed to finish that game, wasn't easy

Jon

looks pretty good for its time

shadow of the beast 3 is like totally different

Almo

21:16

yeah

if you look at 1989 PC games... there's just no comparison

amiga had dedicated sprite and sound hardware.

even the mouse pointer was handled in hardware.

Trudeau supposedlytwants to Legalise marijuana

Jon

21:33

yah

is he going to do it? probably not

it would open up an entire taxable industry, and take money out of criminal pockets

Not to mention, reverse backwards ridiculous laws, that put drug users in jail

There are already laws for people that steal, hurt, or do stupid shit. It covers the basics of a doped up individual breaking into your house.

What is the difference between drinking alcohol, or smoking a joint? they accomplish similar tasks.

anyways, I wanna smoke a big joint before star wars

Almo

alcohol is way more fucking dangerous than pot

i don't even think it's possible to OD on pot

but drink a couple bottles of bacardi 151, and you're dead

Jon

rockerfellers put that law in the states to crack down on black people

weed became illegal, and prisons filled up with black people

similar thing happened with asians and opium

Almo

gots to head out

talk later

Rockefeller Drug Laws

The Rockefeller Drug Laws are the statutes dealing with the sale and possession of "narcotic" drugs in the New York State Penal Law. The laws are named after Nelson Rockefeller, who was the state's governor at the time the laws were adopted. Rockefeller, a staunch supporter of the bill containing the laws, had Presidential ambitions and so wanted to raise his national posture by being "tough on crime." If this strategy worked, he would no longer be seen as too liberal to be elected. He signed it on May 8, 1973. Under the Rockefeller drug laws, the penalty for selling two ounces (57 g) or more of...

Q: Unity 5: Stays slow after code runs

Hi guys :) I have just tweaked the FPSController Script so that when you are below 6y, you are slower and gravity is a little weaker. This is to simulate underwater effects, but when you come out of the water, the effects are still applied. Code: if ((transform.position.y < waterLevel) != isUnd...

Jon

21:50

Hahaha my guess is he can't

Man you went out of your way have a upvote

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Hmm, not sure I did it for the upvote.... I try to answer questions that require short and simple answers, because it is generally what I have time for, and most of Unity related questions are out of my league. This question was supposed to have a short and simple answer. But I always forget that those who can't figure out short and simple answers by themselves will required explicit and time consuming answers...

And thanks for the upvote :P

Jon

Earned

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Lol I guess so!

Pip

@Jon wait what "a bunch of parts for that PC"?

I completely missed that

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Now if he just can't understand, I'm not sure if I'll just delete the answer and leave him like that. Anyways! no longer my problem hehe!

Jon

22:07

I have an old fully working Asus p4b533 Moho with ram and CPU and everything

Pip

hmmm

I will google that

what CPU?

Jon

E7500

Pip

Oh, same one I have

there's no PCIe?

Jon

AGP only on my board..

Pip

huh

Jon

22:09

Pip

What RAM is it? DDR2? PC-2?

Jon

PC2700

DDR1 :)

Pip

lol

That's like.... even older than the one I have :P

Jon

the motherboard, yeah more than likely

its like 15 years old

was a pimp mobo back in the day

Pip

hahaha

How does it even run a e7500? It's got Socket 478

the e7500 is a 775 socket

Like, it's for a Pentium 4

Jon

22:19

Hmmmmmm I think I am mixing up pcs

I have two I don't use lol

Yeah the core duo is the more recent

Pip

:P

Jon

Wicked pc for free. Nice one

Pip

Yeah I'm happy with it

leaves me a decent upgrade path assuming the mobo supports more stuff

first the GPU, then the mobo and proc

Jon

Cool way Better than that dell haha

Pip

Case is good, I have a 400 watt PSU which is good for a while

yeah :D

Jon

22:21

Should play pretty much all games not maxed

Not gta5 or anything that requires 4 cores

Pip

yeah, should be awesome

probably won't perform too well until I get a better GPU

but the current one is good enough to watch a 1080p video with virtually no stress

It doesn't even have a dedicated fan though, and it doesn't get super warm :P

Jon

Yeah video decoding is done on CPU though

Pip

oh true

Jon

But yeah 1080p no problem

Pip

well, 1080p video, skype, spotify open, and chromium with like 10 tabs was like 10%-15% cpu load

Jon

22:25

Haha

I still love my new build it's flawless

Pip

I will definitely be upgrading towards something like that

Jon

Typically I have problems with new. Builds

This on no issue it was great

Pip

probably a 780 TI for me, instead of the 960

Jon

Cheaper?

Pip

I have a friend who wants to upgrade to a 980

so yes

Jon

22:27

Ah sweet

780ti is faster than 960 I think

Pip

In this case. Usually it would be $20-$120 more expensive, depending on ebay and the exact GPU

it is, and the 970 (OC) when overclocked

actually, probably beats it when both are non-oc'd as well

wait a second.. let's reference nVidia's graph

So the 780 ti is marginally better than the 970 in sheer performance

way better than the 960

Jon

Great grab if you can get it

Pip

yeah, agreed

Might OC it, might not

It might be stock OC'd, don't remember the exact model

Jon

Haircut time

Pip

23:07

looks like the 780 ti is PCIe 3.0

Jon

Your board is way more recent than I first thought

Pip

23:22

mhm
