there is an argument to be made from his point of view, yes

#

£80k doesn't go as far as it used to

#

the fact he feels he's fucked by this or w/e is emblematic of how tilted out system is in favour of the rich?

#

or something

undone berry Nov 23, 2019, 11:30 AM

But the extra tax he'd pay, he won't even notice. Under the tories, the tax cuts he'd receive, he won't even notice. Just a complete failure to think about the system critically

but not with intent or w/e

it was an investigation into the phone tapping of Carter Page, which trump said was spying on his campaign or w/e

one of our customers is an antique spoon retailer

they like spoons.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

The problem isn’t the retailer, it is his customers

#

Peoples buy antique spoons??

gentle moss Nov 25, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

some of them are really valuable

#

like £5000 for one teaspoon

#

because it's from the 1600s or something

#

people pay a lot of money for old shit

#

the trick our retailer has is he knows his customers

solid pollen Nov 25, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

Yeah but.. spoons...

gentle moss Nov 25, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

so he'll know one guy has say like, 40 out of 45 pieces of an antique cutlery set

#

he'll then intentionally seek out those 5 pieces ahead of his client

#

and be like#

#

"hey, i got your spoons..."

#

and a full set of 45 is significantly more valuable than each item on its own

#

so he can jack up the price of all 5 spoons

#

because his customer wants to complete the set

#

it's pokemon cards for old people

Instead of taking it to my apartment complex's office, they said "Eh, we'll just take it back to one of our locations instead." Which means I have to wait for it to go to said locations, which means that even if I did manage to bug out early enough to go to one of those locations while they're open, it won't be there until next business day.

wow that video is so 00's

it does absolutely nothing to explain anything lol

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 9:51 AM

yeah, there's not exactly much video material from back then except frag videos, good and bad

#

big low gravity arena with a duck in the middle. teams spawn at one of the towers in the 4 corners.

while holding the duck your team gets points every 30 seconds i think

Ah okay

Standard CTF then

#

You never played sauerbraten, did you?

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 9:52 AM

#

well no, because you're not capturing the flag

you're holding it

so it's more like One Flag capture and hold, but mobile?

there is a name for it

but i think that's much newer than that

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 9:58 AM

#

yeah, sauerbraten was like.. early 2010s

#

and it's cube 2

#

there was a game before it called cube

#

which had a similar premise but was much less polished

#

sauerbraten is heavily moddable as well, given its open source nature

#

platinumarts sandbox, a kids' sandbox game, is based on it

#

it also comes bundled with a third person RPG demo

#

because the map editor is actually grid-based

#

you can change the size of the grid that you're editing at any point, and you can slope things

so it makes for a lot of pretty intricate designs

Cube 2: Sauerbraten uses a 6-directional heightfield (or octree) world model. An octree, in Sauerbraten, is a cube that can be split into eight smaller cubes; those smaller cubes are also octrees, and can be subdivided further. This allows much more complex level geometry and easier editing.

Each cube-shaped node in the octree represents a renderable volume, or a type of Marching cube, which are referred to as a cube, where each edge of this cube can be lengthened or shortened to deform the cube into a variety of other shapes. Corners of cubes can also be "pushed" or "pulled" to create crude curves. The what you see is what you get realtime editing has enabled level designers to add a lot of detail to maps, while reducing the time spent on actual creation. This is in contrast to traditional modern polygon soup 3D engines which take a model generated as an essentially random batch of triangles from an external modelling program and attempt to spatially subdivide the model's triangles after the fact by splitting them to fit into tree structures, such as a BSP tree or even an octree, that require costly pre-processing to build. Cube 2's novelty thus lies in that the world representation is the octree, or Marching cubes, structure itself, from which efficient triangle batches are generated for the graphics processing unit to render, without need for expensive and time-consuming pre-processing.

i don't have cpma on this machine

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 10:51 AM

#

it's actually got an active development team

#

FINALLY

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

I'm not sure you could build maps outside of the game

#

Models you could

#

Models and textures aren't modified ingame really

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

oof

#

a lot of that looks like it's been speed increased and could be accomplished much faster in a real editor

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 10:57 AM

#

Building a full map is going to go a lot faster ingame I'd expect

#

and it's a lot more fun either way, haha

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

i disagree with that first part

#

2nd part i also disagree with if you're a level designer

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

A "real" level design tool isn't going to be geared for this kind of geometry

#

You almost never actually need models, for example

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

huh? a "real" level design tool built everything you've seen in almost every game ever

#

it doesn't matter what kind of geometry we're talking about

#

a mixture of 2d and 3d views rather than having to do everything in pure 3d is much better

#

and tbh even then you're using the 3d view mostly for preview

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I can't see how a 2D view would be useful for a 3D-grid-based map

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

because you can build 3d objects to a grid in a 2d view

#

duh

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

but you can only see one face

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

that's why you control + tab between different 2d views

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

Maybe you should just try it, haha

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

i've tried ingame level building tools before and they always feel clunky

#

always

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

I didn't find this clunky

#

it's very different from anything else I've used really

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

maybe it's because i spent years doing level design using 2d tools

#

but in all honesty for example the base of that tower building

#

it's a kinda octagon

#

i could build that in 1 click and drag

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

but obviously it's not designed with professional level designers in mind

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

then 4 clicks to clip the corners off

#

from a top down view

#

yeah, but if that's the only way to build the levels

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

I mean, that process is very similar to how you'd do it ingame

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

yes except your position in 3d space matters

#

so you constantly have to move around

#

very clunky

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

Definitely feels easy and streamlined

#

and more importantly, intuitive

#

to someone that plays games rather than makes them

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

for someone who doesn't map, i guess

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

learning to map professionally takes a long-ass time

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

i guess

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

this is a tool even kids can use

#

haha

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

sometimes i forget not everyone's done some of the things i've done <_<

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

It does have some kind of weird concepts

#

like for example, let's say you made a sheet of glass ingame

#

glass is something you can replace empty space or pulled with in your selection

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

a fill

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

using, well, /glass

#

but let's say you wanted frosted glass

#

what you do is place what basically amounts to a shader in a bubble

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

does it count as an entity or a surface shader?

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

so you say, I want a frosted glass shader here, and place the shader entity next to the glass

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

i assume the glass breaks or w/e

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

Glass isn't breakable I don't think

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:09 AM

#

ah, so it's more like surface shader and then you're modifying it with like a shader modify object

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

Yeah, basically

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

that's a little weird

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

It is pretty weird

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

but i guess these are the quirks that comes with this type of thing

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:10 AM

#

It ends up being fairly intuitive when you realise how it works

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

some of the harder stuff i got to grips with when i was doing level stuff was scripted entity sets or sets of entities which could behave like logic gates

#

you'd basically build a non-rendered box outside the map and put loads of point entities which controlled logic flow in it

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

Map scripting is a thing in cube 2 as well

#

but I never got into it

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

RtCW had map scripting for movers etc

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

You don't see it used for actual arena maps much

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

so you could create complex movers / doors / etc

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

but there are single player maps it's used in

rough sapphire Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

i hope id release a map editor with Doom Eternal

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

it's built in

#

same with 2016 iirc

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

if they do it better be better than it was in doom 2016

rough sapphire Nov 26, 2019, 11:13 AM

#

wait, doom 2016 had a map editor!?

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:13 AM

but it's far more like Radiant than a "fun" editor

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:13 AM

then you play it enough and you know where everyone is and almost every view point they're gonna see you from

one of the kills i plan to do involves me hiding in a crate the target is going to go into with a body guard

the body guard turns to look at a painting for 6 seconds

enough time for a garrote and to dump the body in the crate and get back in the crate

wait for them to leave and jump out the window

wow, talk about bitter

#

not that i don't agree with their sentiment

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:33 AM

#

There are some positive reviews with 300+ hours

#

it definitely had its dedicated players

#

it has MOBA-style pvp modes too but ofc nobody is playing

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

problem with centralised servers etc isn't it

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

yup

#

too much game logic on the server

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:36 AM

#

i remember a while ago valve said that if steam ever went offline they'd patch as much as they could to allow people to retain access to their games

#

i wonder how true that is now

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 11:54 AM

#

To be fair, that's a bit of a difference between a successful storefront and a single game that was a total flop

#

Can't imagine it'd be hard for them to make it work offline though

#

They marketed it around the pvp

#

But the campaign pve is where it really shines

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 11:55 AM

#

true

#

i'm sure someone will patch it

sand goblet Nov 26, 2019, 12:14 PM

#

I hope so

clever axle Nov 26, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

since it's in off topic no one will see this but I just figured out that the long time issue i have with python was solved by running them directly from the command prompt

#

that's like 4+ months of not copy+pasting the <stdin> error line 1 lmao

ugh!

Does anyone know if the leet in the name leetcode comes from 1337?

#

lmao

rough sapphire Nov 26, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

I'd assume so

oak tangle Nov 26, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

leet comes from elite and was stylized as 1337

#

it's fairly old internet slang

#

so, yeah

#

leetcode certainly comes from that

gentle moss Nov 26, 2019, 8:01 PM

back in those olden times

This is a bit older than 10 years, though

It was already there when I first really started exploring the internet in the mid 90s

rough sapphire Nov 26, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

I started my internet addiction in the early 2000s

#

started using it around 96ish when I could

oak tangle Nov 26, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

Wiki puts it as 1980s:

Leet originated within bulletin board systems (BBS) in the 1980s,[1][2] where having "elite" status on a BBS allowed a user access to file folders, games, and special chat rooms. The Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective has been credited with the original coining of the term, in their text-files of that era.[3]

Time to move my cheapo vps to an rpi because I have ran out of funds for said cheapo vps

#

Going to be a fun day..

#

I have it jankily plugged in at the router with a semi-broken usb

rough sapphire Nov 27, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

what are you hosting on your vps?

#

i could host it for you

#

on me vps

#

i've got a cdn as well if you want to make use of that

It's fine

Guys, I may have dropped the wrong table..

plucky ridge Nov 27, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

But where will you eat breakfast now?

solid pollen Nov 27, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

Not that kind of table

#

SQL table

#

At least I can still eat my breakfast

plucky ridge Nov 27, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

But why were you eating your breakfast on your computer

#

Well actually

#

Nevermind

#

I guess it's a good place to take a byte

rough sapphire Nov 27, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

can you eat breakfast if you get fired for dropping the wrong table?

solid pollen Nov 27, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

Well, that was a test db so I think I can still take my breakfast

#

I guess that's a good time to upgrade postgres

plucky ridge Nov 27, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

At least there's a silver lining

solid pollen Nov 27, 2019, 3:06 PM

Someone dropped a table? Everything is working fine sweatcat

Normally people with that kind of bod are considered chiseled. However considering the amount of work it'd take to get to that point, I feel like it'd be better work for a garden trowel

Wow he shows up a lot

say @gentle moss, I wonder if eircom requiring you to use their DNS servers constitutes a GDPR violation

#

since they would know exactly who is accessing what via that method

gentle moss Nov 27, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

i mean

#

it's bound to be covered in the terms of service

sand goblet Nov 27, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

yeah but GDPR doesn't allow for that

#

it's explicit opt-in

gentle moss Nov 27, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

and agreeing to use their service is?

#

i get your angle though

#

and i'm curious too

#

most ISP's don't force DNS usage

#

you can alter it

#

locking it at a router level seems a bit

#

suspect

plucky ridge Nov 27, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

Agreed

#

And even then, you can sometimes set DNS at the device level

gentle moss Nov 27, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

it's either an oversight, an attempt at control, or data harvesting

sand goblet Nov 27, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

there's a bigass sticker on the back of the router stating that it's Eir's property, too

gentle moss Nov 27, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

attempt at control makes more sense
