That happened anyway, so I can't imagine it will get any worse.

Like when I didn't know the difference between a variable being an integer or a string?

It's funny how obvious the problem is to me now, and I even remember repeatedly having that problem and being super confused, but I was fourteen then, so what can I say?

I can say that I was a moron, that's what. And I do say that.

Another 10 years and you can say the same again.

Got home at 10:30 last night, woke up at 7 this morning to get to work at 8.
This would be fine if I wasn't sick. As it stands, this schedule is killing me x.x

Here's hoping for tomorrow off. I probably pulled 50 hours this week.

Merry X-Mas and things!
This board doesn't get enough attention :(

I am full of ham and moonshine

here's an interview I got asked for a little while ago, if anyone's interested.
Some of the questions were pretty fun and it seems like some research was done.

I made a rhyme. Fantastic.

Was I banned? I honestly can't remember :o

I made a thread in the VA forum but it got ignored. Now there's a bunch of "male voice actor needed" threads shoving it down. It was important too...

You sure have been; once, back in 2012 for posting in a spam thread. Shame on you.

Spam the whole board with links to the Collabinator.
They'll get the hint eventually.

Oh, yeah. I dunno if I'd count that, it was kinda a blanket ban and only lasted like an hour or something :P
Can't remember what the thread was, but I think I told the OP to sod off.

It was an actual question about profit splits with multiple VAs in a project. Then I got spammed out by "lol this is my first project and I need stamper's voice xD"

Also, I hate "xD"; it's the worst emote. When people type that in dota, I want to mute them, and sometimes I do if they've done something else annoying.

I think you think I'm joking. Seriously, nuke the whole board.
I mean, don't just spam the single link. Give it some context and maybe a bit of advice so you don't get banned. I've done it before.

Aww, it's one of my favorite emotes :(

This. (sorry egg)

I hate pretty much all emotes, and, incidentally, am glad that Newgrounds doesn't have any images for them, but I think "xD" takes the cake as king of the shit-mountain.

Who uses the word "sod" but spells "colour" without a "u'?

You're weird.

I agree.
I pick up too many nuances of different language and use my American spelling to tie it all together.

It's like Frankenstein's monster if he were written language.

I like sulphur but prefer sulfide. Theatre over theater. I always type behaviour and have to go back. Even in Latin I pick and choose between classical and church to form my own variety.

Well, at least you know that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor and not the monster, unlike most people. That's a pet peeve of mine because of how simple it would be for people to read the book or watch any of the movies or just simply look it up on the Internet.

Though, I pronounce and spell "aluminum" the Yankee Doodle way, so who am I to talk?

I thought I broke haxe when I got a strange error after moving the project files to a shared dropbox...turns out I accidentally set the fps to 288 instead of the height...

Bitbucket looks cool, but for a solo coder project, it's a bit much for everyone else involved. Apparently this game is gonna be put on a steam greenlight campaign which seems strange and scary, so we'll see how that goes.

fuck i just missed my 10th birthday here

whoops

so uh... happy 2015

Hah, whoops.
It's sad, I don't get to put the framerate on my games above 60 :(
144Hz or bust.

Actually I was planning the same thing for my game. It's a terrifying thought, but on the other side of the coin I honestly think it has a shot once it's out of alpha.

I can't see someone spending their hard-earned money buying and playing something I made.

The game will be procedurally generated, so that's the current lounge topic now. Brb porting simplex noise to haxe, I assume I'll need it even though I'm unfamiliar with it.

what's cool about that is you can use the same seed and simply generate more noise for seamlessness.

Ken Perlin blows my mind again. Look at the java at the very bottom before reading the explanation. It is a fortress. I want 2d though, so I have to adapt. The other 2d implementations I've found aren't this cool and incomprehensible. Something something performance on hardware.

Hah, thankfully you don't need to look at a wall of Java to get the basics of generating noise. I find reading articles on Google really helpful for actually understanding what I'm coding.

Yeah, as much as I like to joke, I do eventually end up understanding at least most of what I write or research. It's kinda cool how much weird random shit I learn.

Shit I will never use again, but is awesome to use in conversation

Edit: I wanted to brag a little. I've actually confused math majors with the math I learn programming stuff like the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Again, not useful in any situation except to program it once and then brag about confusing math majors with math.

I've now done both of those. Job done.

I adapted his algo to 2D (had to make some things up tbh), and then I realize that's his patent paper and the algo is copyrighted...

Wikipedia says it's copyrighted for 3d only [citation needed], and I did have to make up some parts. Hope no one checks? Why copyright code and then wave it in my face...

Also, happy new years!

You know, that actually sounds like all the shit that runs through my head for a second when I wake up, in between reality and the dream.

I'm not crazy, right?

Sounds pretty awesome. You can publish to new platforms with Flash, and if it's not natively support, you can code it yourself!
