Nothing says professional than your job offer starting with "Certainly! Here is an example of how you could make your job offer sound more professional:"

[proud jay]

yeah, that was funny

[pearl elk]

@summer cedar i started making a smol hull, it looks like absolute garbage but the strange thing is, it saved properly

[summer cedar]

So, your game prefers garbage input?

[proud jay]

are you implying the size breaks the saving?

[empty dune]

i have also realised im not very creative

[empty dune]

i have no idea

[summer cedar]

Ok. Compare this design with what you made before and deduce which blocks are not included in the current one.

It is entirely possible that just one block that's a negative nancy, is breaking things.

[empty dune]

the only difference between my previous processes is that in my previous attempts i tried to make it look fancy and so used a large selection of the block types. this time i only used two, a cube and a wedge

which is primarily why it looks like shit but atleast it saved properly

[unreal ether]

write some tests that generate nonsense ships, save them and load them, and see if they are expected

[empty dune]

good idea

[unreal ether]

Like just the most vomitous combination of shapes that make no sense. Probably don't even have to be valid ships

Make sure you nest some under doors too to see if your nesting logic works still :P

[empty dune]

yeah

i will try that

for now though

man, I can play some chords on songs great if I just play on the beat, but when I start strumming a pattern I just shit the bed lol

too much brain power needed

That's a while

it's some motivation to keep going though

cause I can't give up before I get my guitar right 😆

that would be a shit move

[empty dune]

Lmao, you wouldn't be the first

[proud jay]

but I'm still liking it

so that's good

I've been playing every day since I started

and it's nice to pick up while compiling lol

[empty dune]

Dude, don't go that quick, you'll burn out

[errant raven]

If you use ernie ball strings, you automatically sound better than the usual noob guitarist

[proud jay]

I'm not overdoing it I think

I just play when I want

Like set stringent limits on how much you practice, atleast at first

[proud jay]

it's not like I force myself to play

[errant raven]

Dieter

Game recommendation

Rocksmith

Its guitar hero, but you use a real guitar

[proud jay]

I used to love guitar hero

[empty dune]

That's the problem, once the initial excitement wears off, you'll need to do exactly that. And when you can't match your old practice sessions, it'll get harder

Mooooods

[errant raven]

And it teaches you how to play songs in various levels

You can tell its fierce because they use characters from other scripts to spell chatrooms

[summer cedar]

That's a fierce spelling, true.

Right... violin... Dragonborn. Must play. Back to proper topics.

[proud jay]

anyway, my picks are arriving tomorrow

maybe the day after

so that will be cool

[summer cedar]

adamantine picks for that proper twang?

[proud jay]

rune picks

[summer cedar]

Or proper picks for a regular twang?

[proud jay]

obviously

[summer cedar]

Cool! 🎆

[proud jay]

I got a 12 pack of cheapo harley benton picks and then a 12 pack of a variety of dunlop picks

[summer cedar]

I am using a starter violin. I wanted to buy a more expensive one, but decided to do so along the same lines as getting a new computer.

Only when I demonstrate that I deserve it. 😄

[proud jay]

yeah

who knows you give up after 2 weeks

[summer cedar]

I didn't. 🙂 But, I am gentle with myself.

I think I never practise more than 30 minutes or 1 hour.

[proud jay]

I got some ernie ball super slinky's on the way

but will only put them on if the ones that come prestringed go to shit

[summer cedar]

I did change the starter strings though.

The quality is WAY better.

[errant raven]

The ones prestringed already are shit ngl

[proud jay]

maybe

[summer cedar]

Even with a mute, the sound quality is awesome.

[proud jay]

I'll see what it gives

[unborn lotus]

I change mine every 5 years 🥲

[summer cedar]

And you play once every 10?

[proud jay]

do you never play?

[unborn lotus]

They all sound amazing in the first 2 weeks then it dulls out

I might just play with them turned to shit instead of changing them

[errant raven]

If you buy in store where you can walk in and test out the guitar first, always get it re-stringed at purchase

Dont know how long it's been there, how often it's been touched/played. Safest option

[proud jay]

yeah, but I got my guitar online

so no proper set up probably 😔

could go to local guitar store, but shit's expensive

full setup would almost cost as much as the guitar I got lol

[unborn lotus]

also most are snobs and scoff at beginners

[errant raven]

Play stairway to heaven

[unborn lotus]

that's illegal sir

[errant raven]

Nuh uh

[proud jay]

based on the reviews he seems like a very kind guy though

but his guitars also started a lot pricier

[errant raven]

Break the norms, start by learning people = shit by slipknot

[unborn lotus]

there are outliers

[proud jay]

and he has a markup on everything of course, e.g. the strings I bought for 5,70, he sells them for 7,50

which makes sense, but not cool for my wallet

[unborn lotus]

just stop eating avocado toast to afford strings

[proud jay]

I don't even eat that 😔

[errant raven]

Theres some pretty nice sounding $300 guitars out there

Just need an amp, that's it

[proud jay]

my guitar was 170

and it seemed nice from what I saw

and more importantly

it looks cool

[errant raven]

Dont gotta bother on any pedals or other expenses until you learn/know for sure you want it as a hobby

[unborn lotus]

but pedals are cool

[proud jay]

I would like a looping pedal at some point

[errant raven]

If you get a pedal, get a wow pedal for sure.

[unborn lotus]

I like these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjJFNa6Xews a ton of layering and looping, just two guys

[proud jay]

I think this is my favorite looping song https://youtu.be/Gl9GtO_vQxw

[errant raven]

Wah/wow pedals are 70's-ish stuff

@empty dune Almost there! 😄

The next part is my favourite; fiddling with text. ⌨️

[proud jay]

I feel like there would be more action if the background was less clear

either with some light blur or faking some atmospheric fog kinda thing very lightly

idk though

also, where shadows?

or are those black boxes supposed to be shadows

[unborn lotus]

background has more interesting contrast and spots of light, while the characters have none

[cursive crypt]

Where bananas?

[unreal ether]

yeah definitely got conflicting light directions

maybe off to the side someone's running with studio lights?

[summer cedar]

If you mean under each foot, yes.

I see what you mean. Yes. The guy in front has already passed that light source for the most part, but there are reflections from the opposite side and back lighting. The guy at the back hasn't, so he gets more light on the right side, directly from the crack. Is that what you are talking about?

[summer cedar]

I will try this out. Thank you! 🙂

I'll try blunting the bright side of the front character, but not by much. I kind of like how it looks.... for the moment. 👻

Nope. They just removed it.

They might restore it.
My reading between the lines of several news articles is that they might have hidden it because of the new CoPilot laptops launch.

They probably wanted to keep the new products as error free as possible, so hid the modes. They might restore them in a couple of days.

Oh, definitely. Slayin' barbarians, showering in gold and marrying a patrician.

[brittle holly]

I think it was more like, having a harem

He also tried this

[summer cedar]

I wonder if Amazon delivered back then, too.

[brittle holly]

Yeah, 2-year guaranteed delivery

And free access to your nearest gladiator pit shows

[broken sigil]

yeah 😆

[broken sigil]

I have a great solution that works great for me
"Not caring"

Whoever wins here it's all the same to me, it's utterly pointless and I gain nothing from it regardless of what they promise
So I choose not to vote and not care

If you asked me now who the president here is it would take me a good while to remember lol

[summer cedar]

Are you saying the President of Frogmire isn't very effective at implementing policies?

[summer cedar]

When the cart breaks and the goods get damaged, how would you contact customer support?

In an aside, I hate working because I want to work. 🤣 I don't want to pretend teach, because I want to work more on my book cover. 😄

If Biden wins, I'm practically dead. Whole world might be dead

Do you really think a guy like that should have control over 5k+ nuclear warheads?

Or that hes actually the one running things when he cant even talk, let alone read.

[broken sigil]

Good thing is that he is not in direct control of them

[errant raven]

He is

[cursive crypt]

[errant raven]

A little thing called the Nuclear football, he can activate all the ones that are always active, on standby.

The nuke part is scary, but the conventional weapons are even scarier, because you can actually use those.

Obama fucked up school lunches and other shit, biden fucked up the economy, the last one before Obama started unnecessary wars, and trump was trump

[errant raven]

Take off the two S's

[empty dune]

what show is this anyway

[unborn lotus]

the acolyte

[summer cedar]

What you are implying is that Frogmire doesn't have frog-sized park benches, and that's the president's fault?

[summer cedar]

You might want to forego kissing frogs. The new Star Wars show is about the Frogith that killed the Jedi.

[broken sigil]

frogs can't even afford clothes because of him

[errant raven]

Wouldnt be surprised if he did authorize 2 billion USD for benches used by frogs to sit on

Hell get a ice cream afterwards

Or just stop migrating it to the next engine right away.

[median wraith]

that also... well usually I get that if you drop the pack, but the other case is worst, to charge say 100$ and then release a new whole pack to add to it streelights for a whole new price with all the prior content for 110$

I have to keep the 30% for the compositing and PS editing, and some decent line art I somehow managed in between. 😄

I'll have to do some shadow studies to improve it. I'll probably revisit it later on.

its so great tho

[summer cedar]

Right'o. Off to deal with bureaucracy across several platforms.

📖

[proud jay]

about 4 Newton

[proud jay]

I'm counting the days till I get my electric 😔

[lofty lark]

It's not going to make things feel (that much) better You're steel going to be playing steel strings

[proud jay]

but it will sound cool

[lofty lark]

assuming you're practicing on acoustic

[summer cedar]

You better reduce that to safeton.

[proud jay]

and more importantly, look cool

[summer cedar]

Otherwise, you might tire your typing hands out.

[lofty lark]

eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It won't make bad playing sound good

[empty dune]

warned you

[lofty lark]

Get a good quality electric though when you do get one

[proud jay]

no time for insights now

it's already ordered

[lofty lark]

My first guitar was a shitty starter electric and I hardly practiced because it just felt and sounded bad.

[lofty lark]

Oooooooooooo what'd ya get

[empty dune]

more like what did he not get

[lofty lark]

Then I bought a significantly higher quality one and I practiced so so much more. From just sounding better because of quality hardware, it just felt a lot better. (I had stroke typing that I guess)

It not only sounded better because of higher quality hardware (and having more than a single bridge pickup), it felt a lot better to play.

[summer cedar]

🤣 All the platforms have cover size heights off by 50 pixels.

Someone purposely screwed with their proportions. 😄

Amazon however, got it just right.

[lofty lark]

I'm hoping he did not get a poor quality electric.

I'm generally against the notion of, "Just get a cheap beginner instrument to learn." Cheap instruments tend to be poorly made, which leads to a poor playing experience, which leads to a poor learning experience, which often leads to people giving up. Obviously not the case for everyone, but I think more times than not, that's how it goes.

[empty dune]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt5Mxm7BPhM

i had forgotten how good this was with headphones

[proud jay]

https://www.thomann.de/be/harley_benton_sc_500_wh_vintage_series.htm

it's quite a cheap one

but all reviews I saw about it were quite positive

[proud jay]

enough to nut all day

rip vazu stopped typing

holding back to save me

if it's absolute ass I can send it back for 30 days though so we good

[lofty lark]

I don't know anything about the make, but that's around $180 USD, which price-wise is decent for a starter guitar imo. (My starter guitar was <$90USD)

Looks like it's actually made of wood (not some plastic composite shit), 2 humbucker pick ups, 3-way pickup switch, and 2 knobs for volume and tone. Looks good at a glance to me.

[proud jay]

how do you even find an actual guitar for 90 bucks lol

like if it's not wood, is it even a guitar

[lofty lark]

Dude it was like a learning kit my dad got me. That's including the guitar, an amp, a tuner, strings, books, etc. For like $90

[proud jay]

damn

[lofty lark]

Granted this was probably close to 13 years ago, but that's still cheappp

[proud jay]

sick price

I got the guitar and amp for 250

and got a stand, tuner, picks and cable free included

[lofty lark]

The one thing I find odd is that that guitar seems to have a killswitch (the lonely switch on the upper left of the body, kills the signal completely) but that page doesn't mention it at all

[proud jay]

that's not a kill switch afaik

[lofty lark]

oh duh

pick up selector

[proud jay]

yeah

labeled "rhythm" and "treble", whatever they mean by that

[lofty lark]

that's weird labelling lol

[proud jay]

it's not unique to this guitar though

I've seen it on more LP style guitars

[lofty lark]

It's just odd because treble refers to higher frequencies and rhythm is well, rhythm. Unrelated to pitch.

[proud jay]

yeah I never said it made sense lol

[lofty lark]

Reading a review of that model on reddit, seems the only real issue they had with it was the strings the guitar coming with being shit

[proud jay]

that's ok

I already have 3 string sets on the way

don't ask me why

[lofty lark]

This man is prepping

[proud jay]

I needed a capo and it got out of hand

well "needed"

[lofty lark]

I understand. I get the same way when I go to the local guitar store. I bought a harmonica last time I was there. Idek where it's at right now.

[proud jay]

like a mouth harmonica?

[lofty lark]

yeah

[proud jay]

those are cool though

[lofty lark]

Agreed. I shoulda bought one of those neck stands too

[proud jay]

there was a famous belgian jazz harmonica player

Toots Thielemans

[lofty lark]

I do see some quality control complaints regarding that guitar though. Minor things like frets buzzing or the neck being slightly bowed, both of which could be fixed fairly quickly at a local guitar shop if you have one near you.

[proud jay]

I've heard some of those yeah

especially with people buying B stock

but can only hope for the best

and have already been watching guitar setup videos to fix some potential issues myself lol

but there's also a store nearby

[lofty lark]

I didn't notice any complaints about intonation, the quality of the fretboard/neck (like twisting or cracks), or quality of the pickups, which is great.

[summer cedar]

@trail ore Clippy is back, in a fashion.

The temperatures are still missing, but it's actually answering questions again, instead of spouting web links.

[summer cedar]

Lies! You forgot the capital C.

Pshaw! You only pretend to work.

[lofty lark]

Different countries but in my experience guitar techs have been super helpful, especially for new players. It might be worth just swinging by and seeing if they'll look it over for you when you get it.

[proud jay]

the guy's reviews have been very positive

but it costs a bit to get it set up

so I'll see in what shape it is

might fiddle with it a bit myself

and if I fuck it up I go there 😆

[lofty lark]

Be careful if you adjust your truss rod to not snap your guitars neck

[proud jay]

yeah I've heard that lol

but apparently it's not as bad as it seems, as long as you don't force it it should be fine

at least that's what they told me

[lofty lark]

There's probably a ton of warning signs that it's going to break, like the sound of the wood cracking, but thankfully I wouldn't personally know 😄

[proud jay]

sometimes I don't know my own strength

we had this first aid training at work recently

thats actually pretty common

[proud jay]

I know

the breaking happens a lot

[carmine frigate]

also u could get sued over that

[proud jay]

not as a citizen

afaik

but as a professional healthcare guy you can

[carmine frigate]

well flight attendands can

[lofty lark]

Good Samaritan Law in the US protects against that

[carmine frigate]

not every state i think

[lofty lark]

It does vary state by state yeah

[carmine frigate]

also US law doesnt apply in the air?

[proud jay]

if it's your job to resuscitate them you can get sued

if you're a random dude trying to help you can't

at least here

[carmine frigate]

really depends i guess

[proud jay]

also ambulance people can't slap people in the face anymore to see if they respond

[carmine frigate]

cant just smack em with a hammer or some shit

[lofty lark]

I would assume for international travel it would you're still flying on US airlines in US airspace

[carmine frigate]

not all airlines are US

[lofty lark]

But if you're flying internationally, i.e., entirely within the nation, why would you be on a non US airline?

[carmine frigate]

Im not risking saudi prison for jack shit 😛

[carmine frigate]

so my dad used to be a manager at some hospital.. and paramedics cant declare ppl dead... so they actually had to pump the chest of train jumpers with eyes out of their sockets and shit

pretty ptsd making stuff

[lofty lark]

Yeah that'd be a no thanks from me

https://tenor.com/view/sheep-pop-eyes-gif-8041739

I don't need a human recreation of that ^

[carmine frigate]

procedure is a son o a bitch

stuff he told me was often super weird

name the 1 health branch that doesnt have a waiting list and why it is...

dermatology... cuz most the stuff they come for wil be gone the next day so that would be loss of income

[fathom wadi]

I waited 3 months in the UK for my dermatology appointment, and it took me 3 years to get that referral.

[carmine frigate]

wow damn

here they will just let you come in.. tell you to come back if it isnt gone in a week and bill u 100e

[fathom wadi]

I could have done that too if I paid private or had medical insurance. But I was using the national health service at the time. I actually use private healthcare now for another issue because it's important I don't have wait times and the treatment is difficult to get referred for.

[carmine frigate]

they might take a sample the next time u come in and send it too the lab and that could take long

[summer cedar]

Ah, yes! I had forgot how every web platform has its own idiosyncracies.

Take Wattpad, for example. Every last paragraph of a chapter has spacing errors.

Thank God for Google's dictionary and grammar checks on the fly.

Now to see what the other platforms' quirks are.

[soft night]

seems space balls 2 coming

I'll buy it if the AI will click for me, move the mouse for me, and play my games for me.

Also, it must take my instructions yelled at maximum volume, also formulated by AI.

[celest musk]

too bad that the button will break 2 days after the end of the warraty

because that's logitechs new current business model apparently

[soft night]

[summer cedar]

Okay. One more platform to go.

[proud jay]

what kind of platform?

[summer cedar]

Sorry for the delay; I was fixing copy-paste errors.
The last one was WebNovel. Prior to that, I finished posting on Wattpad, Royal Road, and Scribble Hub.
Actually, there are two more remaining - my Patreon and proprietorship website. But, I think I'll get to that tomorrow.

Tell you what though, I had hardly pressed submit on WebNovel and I already had 99 views. Refreshed the screen once and it was 147. No wonder web novelists like to publish there despite their 'crappy' contracts.

[proud jay]

who is reading all that smut

or is it just bots to make you feel better

[summer cedar]

I think they have something like 30 million readers on WebNovel, in China.

I read that the teens and young adults read WebNovel on trains, buses, platforms, etc.

[brittle holly]

Did you finish your 15k page book yet ?

[summer cedar]

Why did you forget the remaining 2,000 pages?
I've finished reading 14,000 pages so far. 3,000 more to go.

Did you purposely use Copilot Designer?

Regardless, that IS a table and the sunlight makes you look up; so..... 😛

Those window grill shadows do look like the hash symbol.

It didn't even respond to my proofreading requests yesterday.
It did today. So, they are restoring it after doing God knows what to it.

A good time to stop and throw the book away

[summer cedar]

Nay! I shall finish what I started! TO THE FINISH LINE! 🐎

[brittle holly]

I say go Fahrenheit 451 on its ass

[summer cedar]

It's not a dystopia though. 😛

And no one in the story reads a book. 😄

[brittle holly]

I meant, burn it 🔥

[summer cedar]

Can't. No physical copy. 😛

😨 I tried imagining a 17,000 page book sitting on my table. Brrr....

[brittle holly]

You can burn digital books too 🙂

[summer cedar]

👀

I haven't seen that in a while.

Damn! CDs.

I remember stocking up on CDs, because I never knew how many I'd need to burn. 🤣

[cursive crypt]

Well, that mod is 20$
Better than the most Skyrim ones.

[unborn lotus]

A few more years and all your burned cds should start to degrade to completely unreadable

How time flies

[empty dune]

just blow on them and wipe with t shirt

[brittle holly]

All those disks we used to have that are now sitting in landfills

[summer cedar]

And probably leaking mercury or something.

I remember reading something about leaky CDs a LOONNGGGG time ago.

Meh, we'll dump it in the Pacific, in that big garbage patch.

[brittle holly]

At this rate, our data drives will soon be pure energy. Non-Solid State Drive

[summer cedar]

Raindust, if you don't post pictures of your space ships soon, we'll dump you there too.

[summer cedar]

Plugged in to your neuralink ™️ brain chip.

[brittle holly]

Is he playing ScamCitizen or Shitfield?

[summer cedar]

He's gasp developing a space game.

I know, unbelievable.

[brittle holly]

Give me a less boring Elite Dangerous pre-Odyssey and I’ll give you my money

[empty dune]

working on it lol

funny thing, i just bought a materials pack because i was frustrated with creating my own materials and decided to just buy some from the marketplace cause there was a sale going on

why do you live in a white void

[summer cedar]

Remember to edit it as required in Photoshop, and/or pass it through AI to modify it as per your needs. Don't be lazy, now.

Be inspired by Dieter, who is busy breaking his fingers on his guitar though he has enough money from a proper job.

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-gif-5800488

[unborn lotus]

im a minimalist

[proud jay]

lol, what does guitar have to do with money

[summer cedar]

Nothing at all, except the amount of effort being expended for no monetary gains.
Raindust should be inspired to work harder by this.

[proud jay]

so why is it not black you racist

[proud jay]

life is not about money

[summer cedar]

Yes. It is first about money.
Then it becomes about other things.

But, don't tell raindust that.

He must focus.

For our gaming pleasure.

[proud jay]

I think rain is loaded through family or something

no way he could otherwise get 5 masters and then decide to not get a job and make games instead

or maybe he has a very successful OnlyFans, who knows

[summer cedar]

Degrees are cheap enough in India, though.
You can get them through distance education easily.

But, yeah, even if he's loaded, he must first taste monetary success.

Especially for our gaming needs.

Catering to us must be his first priority.

[proud jay]

you still need to live during the time you get them though

that's the problem

studying is not the expensive part here, staying alive while yuo're doing that is

if you're not getting enough from your parents

[summer cedar]

True, but let's not remind him of the efforts he has already put in into his life.

We must spur him to greater glory.

[proud jay]

we need that ship

[summer cedar]

Yes.

We need moar fun.

At his expense.

[proud jay]

@empty dune make ship

[summer cedar]

[unborn lotus]

[proud jay]

bad ai

[summer cedar]

In many ways, yes. But, we won't tell raindust that.

[summer cedar]

💯 But, I didn't make it. 😄

By the way, for those who care, Drug Simulator 2 is out now. I didn't even know there was a Drug Simulator 1.
