“Oops, looks like the packing step is taking a week again!”

Phil was wrong in thinking that corps wouldn’t make such blatantly stupid choices and products

Tell record labels that if they make a working, near foolproof age verification algo, they’ll get a 30 years of copyright extension for free. They’ll fix it today

Yeah, because that is certainly not going to be easily gamed like fucking facial scans that fall for games’ characters

Stick a hand horn between your cheeks. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

Step 1: be rich. Like, rich enough that you could buy twins into doing that and still have money left to keep them

If you pack 10 objects in a 4000x4000 picture, but it has like 500px margins on every side, you’re wasting memory for literally no reason, that’s the point I wanted to bring attention to. Unused image space consumes memory. A spritesheet that only goes to 600px horizontally, but the image file has 1200px, it’s wasting resources.

Not possible in the “post header”, so to speak, but you can upload several pics in the post body and any comment

One sprite node for the naked character, another for each part of armor (helmet, chest, pants, for instance). If every armor sprite is equally positioned in its image, you can then load different files as needed - on an equipment change, call a load("res://armor2.png") for the Texture of the armor node. You’ll also need to keep the file path string saved somewhere, likely within the rest of the armor’s attributes

While it may not be an immediate problem for you, keep in mind that each .png image the game keeps loaded will use some VRAM, according to its total size. For instance, each 1000x1000 png image will take ~4MB of VRAM. I recommend cropping as much unused vertical and horizontal space as feasible.

Any way to hook old phones to an external screen without wifi? Because that’d make this even better

“Technically ready”, as per the post the dude replied to. It’s “good enough” to fool idiots. For people that care to scratch the surface, the veneer falls off super easy

God isn’t pleased, for TempleOS shall not concede

But is he doing that as a kind of joke to show how awful AI is for that task, while being an actually decent product designer/manager himself? I hope it’s the latter, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he drank the kool-AId

Kabuto with an everstone, no evolution needed

The cult of vim feels very superior for being able to plow through its user-hostility

Another important thing is that the vast majority of petroleum (crude oil) came from sea life, algae and plankton, which still act as “carbon sinks” but are dying off in the oceans thanks to pollution, acidification and warmer waters.

We have a few key things that a grifter does not have, such as job stability, genuine friendships, and souls. What we do not have is the ability to trivially switch fields the moment the gold rush is over, due to the sad fact that we actually need to study things and build experience.

And then some absolute son of a bitch created ChatGPT, and now look at us. Look at us, resplendent in our pauper’s robes, stitched from corpulent greed and breathless credulity, spending half of the planet’s engineering efforts to add chatbot support to every application under the sun when half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly.

Nuclear propulsion, like Project Orion, would probably make it more likely they’d manage to get out of orbit. No idea on the math here, tho
