Talk about anything

Yeah, that's a little much for me. I did go searching for the first graphical game I ever made, it was a 2D RPG demo made in Java, I think I was 17. It was on a 3.25 inch floppy disk in my mom's garage. I had to buy a USB floppy drive (they still make those) and amazingly the disk still worked 25 years later. However, I was not able to compile it. It used a super old Java SDK and it's not supported. I would probably have to spin up a VM with an old OS to get it to work, or port the code to a newer format.

cybereality The most amazing part of his story is that someone actually found it and played it after 30 years, and wrote him for the full version.

Welcome, robot_wbw !

Translation: Do you speak Chinese?

I just looked it up, I don't know how to actually do it. 🙂

cybereality

Hey hey!!! 😍 😍 😍

robot_wbw

Nerdzmasterz Thanks!
😂 Actually I was wondering if this forum support Chinese characters and if there's other Chinese user here. (Luckily I do have found some, though still not a lot 😂 )

I voted.

That link should be posted as a separate thread for visibility.

Best election ever.

It has been done. Thanks for the suggestion.

What exactly is the voting for?

Pixophir

Couldn't answer mandatory questions because newbie.

Today realized, when combing through and recompiling a past project, that the RADV (open source) driver is more pedantic when it comes to obeying specifications than the proprietary Nvidia driver was. If there weren't proper debugging tools, I'd probably be gnawing at the table by now. I'm sure it knows exactly what I mean, just doesn't want to understand :-/

I wonder if they should create a section specifically for beginners to ask questions on the forums? Sort of like how Unity Answers has the Help Room.

We have a help section. Have you not clicked the buttons on the left side?

Oh, I meant I couldn't honestly answer some questions because I am not yet in a position for a qualified opinion.

That other remark was just grumbling about an overeager driver/api :-)

I think it's more of a survey than a vote.

I went silent for a bit. Sorry about that, I've been self teaching a lot of technical art and it's left me a too exhausted to adapt to the new site format. I haven't posted a thing of what I've done recently, but I can change.
The environment is placeholder I made in maybe 15 minutes. I hope you expect better than that from me.

cybereality

That's pretty cool. You might want to add some noise, I think Godot has a Perlin noise function, which might make it look more brush strokes.

packrat

There was more noise but I dumbed it down after comparing it to watercolor, but realism isn't the point with something like this, is it? I thought it didn't look "paint" enough too.

Those were the days. You had to have an actual imagination to take a screen full of periods with a few lower-case letters and an ampersand, and construct the climactic scene from Fellowship of the Ring out of it. We didn't have graphics, we had text -- and we liked it!

I learned how to work with a distributed team with nothing more than e-mail (there were no Skype, Zoom, Teams or Slack back then...). I am convinced that teams today could benefit vastly from cutting down on these constant interruption generators. Developers, in particular, work best when they have significant blocks of time at their disposal so they can think, focus and code. Asynchronous communication is fantastic that way. It also encourages you to find solutions to problems by yourself first instead of asking someone because the answer will come 24h later at the earliest. Because of that delay you also learn to be precise in your communication to avoid unnecessary, time-wasting round-trips.

This is why the books are always better than the movies.

Those were the days, my friend ...

Talking about music:
Gilmour et al. 2016, Pompeii, Comfortably Numb
"The 70 years old rock the 20 years old in a 2000 years old theatre with a 40 years old song"
Remarkable guitar solo.
Never heard of the gingerbread drummer before. Whatever, enjoy !

Alas, little worked for me today programming wise.
