I wanted the intensity of the effect to scale with object movement speed, but I found that keeping track of enough samples to do it smoothly and/or interpolating them was a struggle to do right. Could try again later.
Below is 0% opacity, the displacement factor can be tweaked and is multiplied by a normal map
I think - just a blind guess - that it was done by reserving slots in the palette just for that opponent and then copying colors from the pre-rendered background, but I haven't taken a good look in a debugger to know for sure.
It's like saying the solution to world hunger is to magically conjure free food at everyone's doors, while also calling to euthanize all the hungry people.
At that point, why not keep it simple and just tell me you have masochistic dreams?
He just explained communism. But in a rosy way that covers up the inevitable authoritarianism.
I let him down gently because he was well-meaning, but utterly clueless.
Looking for a gap in the market to fill if you know what I mean.
@bonkmaykr i know @xianc78 was trying to make one and @graf said he'd host it if it ever came to fruition. this was months and months ago, after i had expressed a desire for such a thing to exist where people could upload mods or even entire indie games. any content that was obscene or political would be filtered by default so it would be an opt-in sort of deal.
there is definitely interest.
@beardalaxy @bonkmaykr @graf I was way too busy with work at the time. If I were to restart it, I would use a NoSQL database this time and something other than PHP (maybe NodeJS).
in the WipEout subreddit for example: brand new fans will talk about a new entry or remaster every two seconds, despite all the regular players knowing it's never going to happen, to the point it's become it's own meme. the same hoaxes get posted every week and then people promote bootleg copies of the game on the Xbox store like it's a legit fan project or something.
AS don't make TV like they used to. Why can't we have nice things anymore?
I know Aqua resumed production but that was two years ago and didn't even last a full season.
Dirty benchmark i ran on an HD 4000:
DX8 mode: 37397 calls, 80~ FPS
DX9 mode: 609 calls, 600+ FPS
Still keeping the legacy effects incase of compatibility concerns and as a basis for the backports to use, but yeah if there was ever a doubt before then it's safe to say now shaders are the way to go on PC if I can help it.
true linux audio has never been tried
what a fucking joke
sigh
the decentralization protocol suckslol this is like someone asking how they got AIDS while having sex with ten guys even though they wore a condom with just one of them
the one server everyone relies on goes down
somehow shocked
Flash cart is still on it's way
Worse things could always happen, but the perfectionist in me is mildly irritated.
@bonkmaykr That's really cool but it sucks that the lid became damaged. I never played a saturn outside a few moments here and there. It makes me sad such a good system failed in the market.
@bonkmaykr Make sure the clock battery isn't dead. Those things are known to fail regularly.
Every time dude.
there is a "DeVault's Island" in the free software + free internet movements.
>inb4 at least one big tech service or government infrastructure goes down within the next few weeks and Drew DeVault gets mainstream news coverage for it.
@xianc78 let's just hope drew gets more crazy!
aside, i don't think he realizes speech laws are pretty different in the EU. there have been cases of incitement for less here.
@bonifartius He seriously needs to stop. I actually agree with this KF poster in that the technocracy issues are real, and Peter Thiel is just another technocrat, but Drew DeVault is going to make any opposition towards someone like Thiel look cringe. He's doing way more harm than good with his borderline fedpost.
@xianc78
i try to not let the actions of others dictate what i want to do.
of course the technocracy issues are real, but pandoras box is open with regard to this technology. it WILL be used by governments.
the solution would be quite simple: less government.
people like devault do this kind of virtue signalling shit because they can't allow less/no government: they'd LOVE this technocracy to be used against the people they dislike. look 4 years back. it was just a microscopic step away from putting uninjected into camps in much of the west. collectivists like drew would love to line up everyone politically right of mao and shoot them.
