That's the thing. Turns out the Italians weren't making it.

Ferrari gets pissed at Ferrari owners just for driving the car they bought and own

#

I reupholstered seats for a Ferrari spider, cherry red is such an ugly colour for a car man.

But cherry red with bright yellow twin stripes is just an abomination

Finally finished silksong. I'm too bad at video games to play such a difficult game, I put in way too much time into this nonsense.

# proud jay what makes it nonsense

the fact I'm a 40 year old person who invested 100 hours into a video game is the nonsense, I should have done many other things but instead this game possessed me for three weeks. Someone who's actually good at games would have finished it in less than half the time but I suck.

It's an amazing game, obviously, like super addictive, super good, amazing music, amazing art, it's pretty hard but also very fair.

how you disable the windows default printscreen thing?

proud jay

what is the default print screen thing?

#

like the snipping tool?

on win shift s?

steady stone
#

the snipping tool is great. I think there's aksi an actual print screen button on some keyboards

proud jay
#

snipping tool is dogshit

#

idk how you can make a print screen tool as slow as that abomination

#

use greenshot and see the light

steady stone
#

well I mean, everything in modern windows is slow. so, I dunno.

#

Did you guys try File Pilot?

proud jay
proud jay
steady stone
#

it's a windows explorer alternative made by one guy and it's 1000 times faster. It's really funny how microsoft shits out such poor components.

#

Sometimes it takes windows 20-30 seconds to just open a folder, it's absurd.

#

I'm also using the free version, it's enough.

#

Microsoft should pay that guy 2 million dollars and just replace the abomination they made.

#

It's really so much better than explorer it's quite funny.

soft night
#

i got rude wake up when one thing hold to wall came downw crashing in door arch

wispy rain
steady stone
#

It probably takes less time to compile than explorer takes to open a folder with 3 video files.

#

i hope in the future it'll be possible to just use it as the default file explorer on windows, cause really omg explorer is terrible.

wispy rain
#

what bugs me the most aout explorer is how slow it is to sort by anything other than name

steady stone
#

searching and sorting in explorer is effectively broken. better to search manually.

# white oxide i need to find more fellow gamers

I spent about 13 years gaming solo with path of exile. So I decided with POE2 I would join a guild. The first day I joined I went into the comms and someone was being hard-r racist. So I muted them and asked the person who invited me wtf that was all about and he said "oh he's ok really". I didn't want to cause a fuss as it was my first day so I lay in wait. The racist guy messaged me the other day so I said "I don't like you, f-off you racist P.O.S" and he said something racist back to me. Sometimes it's better to game alone.

#

oh he told me to shoot myself in the head too. I reported it to discord but he's still around.

white oxide
#

yeah, really depends on the people

fathom wadi
#

yeah its often for the best in certain game types.

#

I'm in a quandary right now. One one hand, we are broke and scrambling for cash. But on the other, John Romero is at the local gaming expo in 2 weeks and I really want to meet him ๐Ÿ™

#

I should pimp out my super duper unreal skills or something.

summer cedar
#

Well, THAT was brilliant!
Draft2Digital gave me a plethora of styles to choose from and a lot of them looked pretty. ONLY the default D2D Block style actually worked error-free though.

I am running around making sure all the versions of my EPR across the internet are kosher - with all the latest content and legal notices.

The last three days have been hectic.

I just have to wait for the various distribution channels to list the book. ๐Ÿ˜„

Now, I can get back to making more video content, writing the rest of the book for the final release, starting ANOTHER book at the same time, working in Unreal Engine, doing more legal paperwork............

mild gust
#

Just do an hour of each at a time

#

Ez pz

summer cedar
#

Not so. Everything has to be done properly.

#

With planning, staging, etc. etc.

#

Otherwise, it won't be smooth.

#

It is remarkable how smoothly I've pulled all this off, despite my occasional nervousness and very slight stress (in the last two days).

Charlie Kirk stuff

He said that MAGA morons were trying to make Charlie Kirk's shooter look like he was from the Left.

#

He didn't use the word morons - that's just me.

#

In fact, his comment was quite fine and people have been wondering exactly WHAT he said that was offensive.

mild gust
#

That person was either right or centralist

#

๐Ÿคท

#

Allegedly?

summer cedar
#

Basically, Trump's stooge went on the air and alluded - mafia style - that it'd be proper for Jimmy to be taken off the air.

#

Disney decided to kowtow to the orange king, because they have a merger deal or something they need him to sign off on.

Apparently, it was made for the military first.

#

Then, it's been passed down to us plebs.

fleet tangle
#

I swear mine are half TRIVEX and half coatings.

summer cedar
#

It's true. Plastic is way better, except that the maintenance is more. All the protective coatings they put on the plastic/polycarbonate makes it easier to stain over time.

fleet tangle
#

Anti-glare, anti-water, anti-scratch, etc.

Noooupe, was a real bad thing, no texture as UE support etc

My tools do colorize it, but is a different thing

#

I have a video in the background about hackers on Steam

#

and how 3 games this year released with virus

#

and one of the hackers that made the game pasted the URL for the hacking tools download from the game inserted in the username of a saved Steam user lol

#

so they can update the URL in case of anything happens

#

so the game on boot checked for that user ID and get the URL that way the antivirus and steam dont detect it

This is interesting; you learn something new every day.

My publishing platform told me that you should select entirely separate categories for your product while listing it.

And not separate sub-categories in the same classification.

Apparently, different categories receive more search hits, whereas sub-categories do not.

By the way Bandcamp is managed by Epic Games, isn't ?

median wraith

"
Epic Games acquired the independent music platform Bandcamp in March 2022, with the goal of building a creator marketplace for various content, including games and music. However, after 18 months, Epic Games sold Bandcamp to Songtradr, a music licensing company, in September 2023. Bandcamp remains an independent music marketplace where artists sell their music, merchandise, and downloads directly to fans. "

I mean there is people selling illegal content at FAB right

summer cedar
#

Was it a pre-order or something?

median wraith
#

Sorry what?

summer cedar
#

When you paid for the service and didn't receive what you asked for, why didn't you reverse the charge on your credit card?

median wraith
#

I did purchase the music from Bandcamp by 2025/01/20

#

They shutdown the page of the artist by august

summer cedar
#

OH!

median wraith
#

I had the music downloads the day I purchased them

summer cedar
#

It was available until then?

median wraith
#

but turns are illegal and cannot be downloaded anymore

#

and they shutdown the web page

#

so with the bank I cannot do any deal

summer cedar
#

Oh, then all you can do is be miffed.

#

You have eight months of access.

#

Unless they guaranteed lifetime or some specific period, it's all kosher.

#

Check the terms and conditions of your purchase. IF a longer term was mentioned, you can sue them in consumer court.

median wraith
#

Well isn't technically like that

#

I purchased a illegal copy from a page that was pretending to be the artist

#

isn't like the artist went off from the page

summer cedar
#

If you weren't aware of the fact that it was illegal and were merely using the platform's service, then the tenure guaranteed by your purchase matters.

#

If you knew it was illegal, then that's different.

#

So, check the T&C. If they say they can terminate services at any time or whatever, then you can't do anything.

#

Otherwise, you can ask for some money back from them, if a specific access period was mentioned.

median wraith
#

I didn't knew was illegal

#

because all the names, the user name and the user name in the page was the actual artist brand

summer cedar
#

Fine. Check the terms and conditions of your purchase.

#

If access period is guaranteed, you can ask for some or all money back / sue in consumer court.

#

Usually, platforms have a clause that lets them terminate access.

#

But, it's worth checking.

median wraith
#

that don't apply here

#

they sold me a fake copy

#

so is their fault

summer cedar
#

Yeah. That's all discussion.
The T&C matters.

#

Consult a lawyer.

median wraith
#

Is not like I will do paper work or shit for 40โ‚ฌ

summer cedar
#

Actually, if they are at fault, you will get much more in damages.

#

Emotional damages.

Inconvenience caused.

Mirv warheads

What if they setup their nuclear launch system with AI

Then it just randomly starts firing off

summer cedar
#

A launch system without a nuclear warhead is basically an empty cylinder, with maybe a stick of dynamite.

#

They aren't a threat for now at least.

mild gust
#

They have nukes though

summer cedar
#

According to whom?
I imagine they might have purchased some from the Chinese at some point. But enriching it themselves, manufacturing them... no.

#

The last time they tried a 'nuclear missile launch test', the launch platform crumbled and killed what - 100 soldiers?

He won the election

But he has to stroke his own ego.

He could've stroked it just fine on the escalator while trudging up.

And then remembered to wash his hands.

mild gust

He never washes his hands just licks them off.

He eats spaghetti with only a fork no spoon.

His idiotic tirade actually seemed coherent right up till that point where he started talking about the election.

But he intervened in the india/pakistan thing (and they thanked him for it - I don't know the details) and something to do with a border dispute in Cambodia, I think it was?

Pakistan thanked him for it. India has denied his involvement flat out. Then, Pakistan admitted he had nothing to do with it.
