I had to badger Humble Bundle support when they did a set of game dev books a while back. The one on Game Maker did not include any of the reference files you need to do the lessons, there was no pointer to go find them online. Then it looks like they got the publisher to toss the files up on Github. The old Game Maker 6 files. Which are dated and don't always work in Game Maker Studio 1.x Sigh.
It's the book I used in college back in 2007. It's not quite as relevant ten years later, but it does cover the basics...
So daycare just sent me a form saying they can't put the skin lotion (standard skin cream) on my son that they have been without a medical form. He gets dry skin on exposed areas in the winter when he goes outside. Here's the form:

In Super Mario Bros, there is a glitch, where a certain set of frame-perfect presses allow you to jump directly into the bottom block of the flagpole at the end of the level. In this article on the Mario Wiki, it describes the glitch as:

Like they went out of their way to find people who had actual reasons why they shouldn't be confirmed beyond just "Well we don't agree with their views"
> The people of that time did not burning large swathes of forest, either for agricultural practices or for geoglyph construction, but rather transformed their environment by concentrating on economically valuable tree species such as palms, and then creating a type of market of useful forest products.
The team found enticing evidence that suggests that the biodiversity of some of the remaining forests in Acre may have been influenced to a large degree by these ancient ‘agroforestry’ practices.
@GodEmperorDune Well yes, but communistic models work better in that regard since a bunch of people together is stronger and more likely to survive than one person with a bunch of land.
Why on earth are people claiming La La Land to be the politically-motivated Oscar choice this year? No, I don't think it deserves Best Picture either, but I certainly don't think that if it wins, it's out of some attempt to snipe at Trump.
I mean, the other nominees for Best Picture include Moonlight (about a black homosexual) and Lion (about a Indian-born Australian adoptee).
Yeah, if Moonlight, Lion, or Hidden Figures (which is literally about discrimination) get the Oscar, I can maybe see an argument for "well, it won because Hollywood is anti-Trump". I mean, it'll be a stupid argument because all three of those films are great, but I can still see it as a possibility.
@Memor-X Not a lot. Every character has three or four lines, most are callouts during specials, but if you pull up their profile and tap on them, they have a few things to say.
Every character artist and voice actor is credited on the profile too. I found that to be a nice touch.
@GodEmperorDune Fences is not a good nominee, in my opinion. The acting is great and all, but it comes across as more of a filmed play than a film, if you get what I mean.
@GodEmperorDune I know, but I figured I'd address Fences because I haven't told anyone how I feel about Fences.
I just don't think it's a good adaptation is what I think I'm saying.
> Everybody seems to have at least one film opinion that most would consider unpopular. I got to wondering what were the opinions of the people of Reddit. Probably my biggest one is I can't stand Tim Burton.
Uhh... I don't think that's an "unpopular opinion".
Interesting note: supposedly Ki-Adi-Mundi (the Jedi Council member with the pyramid head) was one of the more anti-Anakin members on the already pretty anti-Anakin Council and yet Ki-Adi-Mundi demonstrated a lot of similarities to Anakin.
@GodEmperorDune Fear leads to Anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering
that kinda happens in the third film, Anankin fears Padmae's death, that fear leads to his anger at his weakness and is tempted by the dark side which then leads to hate for the Jedi's hypocrisy
@Memor-X Mace Windu's lightsaber style relies on the fact that he actually enjoys combat, which is very "not Jedi".
He utilizes his dark emotions like aggression to feed his connection to the Force.
I'm not sure if it's still canon, but Windu is/was no longer allowed to teach his style to his Padawans because of its quasi-Dark nature and the fact that at least one of his previous apprentices fell to the Dark Side.
@Yuuki well to be fair the Dark Side is about dominating the force rather than a side of emotions. just that certain emotions makes it easier to slip into the dark side
a much better reason for anakin to turn would be if the council was like "you have to pick padme or us" and anakin does some indignant monologue pointing out the council's hyprocisy and quits, then in desperation turns to palpatine
instead of this "be our double agent", "no, be my triple agent"
but i think lucas wanted his order 66 montage with sad music as all the jedi forget how to deflect blaster shots
and then they retconned something about control chips in the soldiers
It's surprising how much Ki-Adi-Mundi embodies the Jedi's hypocrisy though. Like Anakin, he was one of the few chosen to be trained despite being beyond infancy. He also strongly supported his homeworld's isolation/independence from the galaxy (Jedi aren't supposed to have strong ties to their homeworld or any world and also Separatists). Ki-Adi-Mundi is married and in fact has several wives. He was a member of the Council before becoming a Master (hmm, that sounds like Anakin...)
@GodEmperorDune unless they added a part while Anakin killed them where Palpatine goes on about he's saving them from that hypocrisy which would twist and distort their lives
@Yuuki i find alot of the extra canon stuff set around then was good but Disney initially said that it'll all be discarded counting only on the movies. not sure if that still is true now though
@Yuuki As of April 25, 2014, the only previously published materials that are considered canon are the six Star Wars films, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and film, and the stand-alone Dark Horse Comics arc Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir.

The AI in Tales of Berseria seems to use Mystic Artes (MA) with some regularity but not nearly as often as they should be able to. They often seem to hold on to 4+ Blast Gauge with a full Soul Gauge (SG) without actually launching a finisher.

I recently hatched a Magby, which is #240 in the Pokedex. The highest other Pokemon I have seen are in the 170s though. Are there a lot of Pokemon from this part of the Pokedex not yet included in Pokemon Go?
@Yuuki if it wasn't for the timer it would look like making a kill causes bullet holes to disappear and the player has to keep trying over and over again

If I got an arena 9 giant chest and I decided to wait until the goblin gang comes out. Will I be able to get the goblin gang from the chest?
I can't really tell where I am on the map, there's no indication of which camp I'm currently at.
