@mrejfox nawww - i found one myself once, and dug into it some, but i didn't learn how to do it reliably

@mrejfox from memory, something valid but incorrect had to happen to the DHT of a jpeg file? and Chrome's renderer was most sensitive.

@amandaglosson (Moto G is like a quarter of the price, and is _perfectly fine_... so, it's hard to justify moving up. but maybe worth it??)

@amandaglosson then welcome to Android! I think they are by and large less annoying? Hoping that's the case for you.

@KommanderKlobb i had fun learning stuff, but i skipped some of the hard mathy classes. genetic algorithms/neural nets are pretty magic (this is a bad thing, generally, but it does make it more fun)
-
@KommanderKlobb you definitely learn some of the unintended consequences stuff - evolve a simulated robot to walk (the evaluation function is to go as far as it can), and it glitches into the floor and depenetrates at speed in the right direction. fun!

@KommanderKlobb that example was taught to us - but that's super rubbish.

@lorenschmidt i definitely learned this from soft landscapes! though that's usually: white/black + random w alpha + random w alpha + random w alpha (w random w alphas stacked)

@lorenschmidt my mum & grandma were at my house last night, and looked at the inflorenscence.city print i have up. "that looks like some kind of cross-stitch"

-
@netgal_emi @lorenschmidt well, yes, exactly
-
@studioanisa @konjak i hate it i hate it i hate it

@lorenschmidt well, there's a chance - alpha can roll high (though it's weighted to make that v unlikely). but that's only fun because it contrasts against the usual scheme.

Does Steam's new openness mean we're entering a new golden age of cheap, inventive games?
-
When I think about what I expect from a game sold on Steam with a base price of a few dollars... and I think about how quickly a practiced team could turn something of that level of complexity around... then it makes me think of the Flash game scene, or early iOS.
-
@SanatanaMishra @hoskingc at $15+ you're super polished or sufficiently niche. under $5 I juuuust tweeted about: @v21/929322478056374272
-
@JamesACoote what bottom? these games are already the cheapest they can be without being free. and this is an audience that knows F2P and is opting out (& F2P is expensive to make). discoverability? yes, this is always a problem. but this is why inventiveness > polish.
-
@JamesACoote I mean, I'm not sure I'm right. But I think it's worth having a good poke at that category to see if I am...
-
@casskhaw Your train shudders to a halt. The windows are dark. The lights flicker off. No-one says anything.

@JamesACoote You can make a living off that if you can make one in 2 months or so (but yes, the bulk of games will be made by hobbyists - same as early iOS / Flash)

@pijul_org @mcclure111 The project I work on has around 15 people with push access to the git repository. Only half are programmers, and a subset of those are comfortable with command lines.

@codepaintsleep @mcclure111 @Fengxii I hit this stuff when stuff gets a bit stuck and I try to fix it and then it gets worse.

@codepaintsleep @mcclure111 @Fengxii Honestly the attitude of a former artist coworker is sounding better and better: any time it does something weird, copy that work manually and reclone the whole repo.
-
@pijul_org @mcclure111 No consistent training, a lot are external freelancers. Not at all. I've generally been the git expert, a job that mainly consists of telling people "it's not you, it's confusing for everyone"
-
@pijul_org @mcclure111 Note: not everyone is using git every day, or even often. Most people send files over with Google Drive, and then a programmer will add them to the build.
-
@pijul_org These people are using git; it's painful; I wish the tools were better and more accessible; a replacement for git that leaves us with the same problems is uninteresting to me.

@mjtsai @DavidLublin boo: i clicked on this because my 2013 13" MBP is showing signs of age and at some point I probably need to replace it...
-
@DavidLublin @mjtsai the two worst things about this laptop are: - running out of hard drive space - low FPS in Plunkbat so that's encouraging on at least one count!
-
@DavidLublin @mjtsai s'jus depressing to spend thousands on pounds on a computer that's basically no better than the last, y'know?
