are you actually the time cube guy?

why did you take down the website?

3D games takes so much longer to develop then I expected. Also, trying to make the game scary. How the fuck do you know if something is scary while making it? Can only hope I guess.

Also, development area. Where the magic happens!

I'm very slowly creating a prototype to a 3D horror game I'm creating with Unity. The atmosphere/ sound design are what make it creepy - no jump scare tactics in this game. I got to say it is really hard for me to tell if thing is even going to be scary to other people...like it is obviously not scary, or creepy, to me since I'm the one creating it. I guess time will tell when it gets to the point where I can have other players test it and hear their reactions...

Wouldn't it be too late to make it more/less creepy/scary by that point?

Edit: Holy shit, didn't realise that the timecube website was gone. RIP.
...I wonder if someone actually read all that?

What am I saying, there's probably a lot of people out there who did.

Hey Gimmick! Well that is why I am just making a prototype first and only building a very small portion of the game - a demo if you will - but I get where you are coming from. First time ever building my own 3D game, a horror one at that, so I'm just not sure how often/ what stages in development I should be testing it with an audience.

I've done a few reads of different versions of it and read some other comments of it, so my understanding is this:
It's an extrapolation of spacetime theory. Basically he's saying the earth rotates in four directions (dimensions?) at once - saying the bible taught time as linear; a day is 24 hours. He's saying this isn't true, and in fact we're living four days simultaneously and you don't see it because of where you're positioned in space relative to the sun, combined with the rotation of the earth and some other odd physics.

.. At least, I think.

All of this is, of course, peppered with homophobia and racism along with the occasional bible-bashing, so of course it's not exactly a popular opinion.

That pulls it apart better than I can. It's an interesting read, but I wouldn't spend my time on it. Nor would I consider it a GOOD read, really.

oh, absolutely, i wouldn't go back to it because i am much happier as a person than i was during the time i was more active on Newgrounds. i just miss that era of the internet and especially that era of Newgrounds. it's weird to think that i signed up here when i was 12 (and looking back at my posts from back then is so, so cringy).

I'm not actually doing anything illegal, I just like knowing that, when I choose, whatever I do is my business and no-one else's.

The most illegal thing I consistently do is pentest stuff, and even then I'm mostly in the clear.

When I do private things I'm always behind at least five computers and three levels of encryption, by the way ;)

I was hoping someone wold. A lot of the stuff I use is pretty user-friendly and I'm trying to get more people to learn about them.

What's it like working with a laptop and a monitor? I've always worked on a laptop until this past summer when I got a desktop. My laptop is still fine though so I've considered just using that as a second monitor. Although....thinking about it now...I should actually check what type of connectors I have on it as well as those on the back of my monitor.

| Gonna do that now

I actually have a fairly strong opinion when it comes to privacy. In the states we are protected by the 4th amendment. The intention of this amendment is that the government shouldn't be able to search a citizen without a warrant and probable cause. When the government gathers the data of citizens indiscriminately, and illegally, I have a big problem with that. Privacy is a human right. To me this means the government shouldn't be able to tap our phones, spy on our internet traffic, or convince major corporations to hand over our data without probable cause and a warrant. (A real one, not from a rubber-stamp court without oversight).

I never understood the "I don't have anything to hide so I don't care" argument. It seems incredibly short-sighted to me personally. But I think a majority of people in the united states feel this way more or less.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's all I've ever known. My monitor is bigger than my laptop screen, so it's my default one. At home, we have two equallyish sized monitors, and it's pretty confusing which one should be the main one. It's also incredibly difficult to go back to one monitor when I'm away just with the laptop.

There was something on twitter about someone from some country where it happens where the government started caring about what people were posting and all that. They said selecting Going on the event page of a political rally on facebook counted as light treason and would have the government watching you (in real life, not just digitally). They started harassing the person's parents and said they would be fired if the person didn't give himself up. You could be executed, etc.

I don't care too much about it right now, but things can change to where it becomes a huge issue. Once Edge gets extensions and ad block, I'll feel better :) I also convinced my parents to look into a 1Password license for us all, mainly because it was the only one I was exposed to through twitter as opposed to LastPass. My current passwords are solid, but it won't hurt to do more. My parents' passwords are awful, though. I've also looked into 2FA and physical security (I got a github yubikey since Taylor Swift told me to), but 2FA is a fucking pain when it comes to services that you connect to frequently, like my uni wifi or even the email client.

Edit: paypal, steam, and the like will only text me if the computer or location is unrecognized. Uni's system according to my friend texts every single time.

I still prefer to keep as much data as I possibly can out of Microsoft's hands. I mean, I'm using their OS, but if I could play all my games on Linux you bet your ass I'd switch in an instant.

I lean toward LastPass, but honestly as long as you stay current on who leaked what then it's all personal preference.

The problem I have with Yubi is I don't yet see a reason to trust there's no backdoors or shady things going on behind-the-scenes.
I mean, I can't honestly say I check everything I use either since that's impossible, but that whole Snowden-leaked NSA document about all the shit they put backdoors in via bribes, threats, and exploits scares me slightly. We don't even have a current, full list.

Want to get paranoid as fuck? Here's a list.

This Twitter account genuinely really confuses me. I honestly can't for the life of me tell if it's actually Taylor Swift or not.
I mean, it seems really obvious that it's not, but then there's little things here and there that really confuse the shit out of you and then you need to re-evaluate your entire life.
